Semantics aside I just really enjoy watching optimal play without anything ridiculous, bless you

[goomni]

You finished the third level before the first and second. Glitch! What a fraud...

[G_Silent]

This was the most difficult platforming game ever. I still can’t remember where all the bananas, coins, blueprints and everything is. It’s a labyrinth of a game, but still so totally at home with good old Rare feel.

I’m here because of quarantine, thanks for assisting in wasting 7 hours.
good job on the run!

[davidjsaul]

Love it, nice to watch. I've got no problem with using glitches for speedruns but at the same time I'm happy to watch a full run without glitches despite how long it of course entails

[FluXuaL]

Glitches aren't cheating, and I appreciate both glitchless and glitched runs. Good stuff!

[Austin_In_Chains]

It took me more than 6 years 39 w
eeks and 36 days to beat this game. Youre a legend

[tfresh-olpo]

Wow you truly are a legend, being able to beat all these these other runners without even using glitches. Just proves that you don't need to cheat to be good at a game. You truly are amazing.

I do love seeing speedrunners find glitches to finish the game much faster than I ever thought possible. But I'm also a bigger fan of speedrunners who actually complete the game without glitches, showing how good they truly are in a particular game.

Hey Connor so far I've only gotten into watching some of this run, but I've been thinking about running 101% glitchless actually. I'm currently just trying to beat the game 101% for the first time in a while, but once I do, I want to get to the point where I can remember everything. My end goal is to be able to get a run in a single sitting, hopefully less than 10 hours. Thanks for all you've done, you inspired me to give this a try!

[chekhovsgun]

This run is the essence of pure chaotic neutral.

[Tumbleflop]

For anyone looking for *the* backflip; 6:39:45

[eedusud]

me gustan mas los speedrum sin glitch... bien hecho!

[jamiebullock]

Oh my word! You could do these runs glitchless faster than BigBoss643 did back in 2007, you really should try and beat 9 hours on the N64 someday!

[natahazu]

I love all your hard work, thank you for the videos!

[TranceXZero]

1:29:30 I'm here to confirm that youtube viewers love dem glitchless runs (:

[chucksstuntman]

I still have this on n64. hoping for a remake. thats what will make me get a switch again. i have a vendetta against that 2nd beetle race with lanky kong. its the only thing in the game i couldnt beat. my favorite game still.

[Fudgeey]

I always imagined Kranky's potions tasting like a blend of nyquil and vicks vaporub haha

[mr.boombox]

Ok, lost and afraid here. How is the camera first person AND backwards in the minecart?

[Yarharsuperpirate]

Just curious. Have you ever tried out DK 64 randomizer?
