Happy 23rd Anniversary to the release of this absolute gem! This run will serve as my own little tribute to this game. Hope you guys enjoy it.

A very happy anniversary to this game. I grew up with this game. And despite all of its bs with the AI I will always love it.

@@ArcadeLink Same here brother. Huge part of my childhood and one of my all time favorites to play to this day.

@@lordraiden1038 Is Warthog your favorite vehicle? Or do you just favor him for speed running? I know generally speaking he is the best car stat wise.

[@lordraiden1038]

@@ArcadeLink He’s my personal favorite. Originally I started playing him the most because I just loved how smooth his handling was, along with the fact that his special was so good and unique since it was the only one you could weapon swap with. It was a really fortunate coincidence that my favorite vehicle was also king of the hill when it comes to speedrunning.

@@lordraiden1038 That is sweet dude. At first I never cared for Warthog because I wasn’t a big fan of using larger vehicles. However, I did try him a couple of times and I was legit surprised how good he is. My personal favorite vehicle rn is Yellow Jacket because his special is very effective when you are up close. I used to play Spectre a lot but I got bored with hit and run tactics.

18:20 - That was sweet.

Only fitting for it to be Grimm. That was a beautiful strike by the wrecking ball.

What made this run such a time save compared to 2nd/3rd/your previous record?

[@lordraiden1038]

It was mainly due to the time saves from Junkyard Suburbs and Snowy Roads. Junkyard I finished in under 2 minute which was a new PB for me. Suburbs and Snowy Roads were pretty optimal since they both had good RNG. Got the AI to congregate near all the skill shots on Suburbs to kill them quickly. On Snowy Roads they all went to the cliff side fast and allowed me to fling majority of them off the edge in rapid succession and get the sub 1:30 time I was after on that stage. My main goal was to be right around 10 minutes by the time Prison started so I would have enough time to spare even if I made a few mistakes or had meh RNG in the 2nd half. I was right at 9:59 when it started lol.

10:45 brother, how did you restored the car without repair station?

@@danielalan3751 Secret health spots discovered by me and others in the TMF discord about half a year ago. Just have to jump in the right spot and you get roughly 40% of your health back and they regen every 30 seconds. There’s one on every level besides Skyscrapers.
