DKC: Tropical Freeze Race of Kruncha,michael_goldfish,and Spikevegeta in 1:25:58 - AGDQ2019

the $25 from inferno a shout out to the Yeti in the artist for another round of awesome merch put this towards the one true villain Culex thank you very much Inferno blitz and I think we are just about ready for Donkey Kong Country tropical freeze with spike vegeta Michael goldfish and crunch jugglers and also the real funky Kong here is the way to go you know we're live right oh I see goldfish turning to look at me like talk and I was like it's he not here him throwing it's here what's up everyone are we enjoying agdq 2019 due to me I did you say scream well this is donkey kong country tropical freeze this is the Nintendo switch version we'll be playing on funky mode to go ahead and like while we're getting this queued up you want to explain exactly what this category is Hobbes any % no def abuse funky mode yes so uh with the switch released to the game they actually released a new mode funky mode which gave you some additional hearts and a new character which we'll be talking about a lot as soon as we get into it but it also introduced a mechanic that we that is useful for any percent but not for the category they're gonna be playing which is that when you die a certain number of times in a level the game will give you the option to skip that level and go to the the next one and because that you can actually skip some really longer levels if you do that but it's a little less interesting because you tend to just roll off a ledge eight times in a row or something so this is the no death abuse category they can use funky Kong they can use the original Kong's that won't get into that too but there is no death abusing they will die unintentionally and then we'll laugh spoilers alright well are we ready gentlemen yeah I guess they're gonna alter the runners I'm spike vegeta I'm Michael goldfish I'm crunch yeah I am let's do this alright three two one go alright so the run starts actually at where it did right there on one one on the world map rather because it just skipped a long intro cutscene so they want to get rid of that and there's nothing else that really happens so they're both gonna smash or they're all gonna mash through this and now you have funky Kong so if you saw the last time this was shown Eddie jr. you played it on Wii U funky Kong is the new character introduced that you can infinitely roll with as if you had a partner Kong from the original version of the game also he has a double jump and turns out double jumps are pretty good for speedrunning unless you're spike vegeta fell and is now trying to get back up using a technique called a go there it is yeah there we go so we got the early lead being taken by michael goldfish here spike is not too far behind in crunch is right in the middle there just barely behind goldfish but yes the funky can run in a roll infinitely which will allow him to roll through enemies not through every type of enemy but through a lot of them he also has a double jump which will preserve your momentum and that's very important because I mean you've watched speed runs by this point you know when we say the word momentum and preserve it generally means pretty good things in 1:1 is really just all about getting to the end as quickly as possible there's nothing too special about it except that one jump that spike messed up and and other than that they're really just gonna be rolling through here and bouncing off enemies instead of starting up rolls whenever they can because every time you start up a roll you it costs just a little bit of time it's like a quarter of a second probably even less than that and thus when you bounce off enemies to preserve your momentum you actually save that roll start up animation so let me be doing that throughout the entire run you slap this gong not the ground but the gong three times in order to change the environment and that'll get you to the end barrel here alright not too bad that's too bad hey congrats on finishing them so I I think it was a problem with my controller so if you both could just like jumping it real quick we're in this together oh man all right so we're into one to one of the other things that rolling can do for you is you can roll on water which is very useful in both this level you immediately saw goldfish do it just for a moment there but also one of the things that Spike showed off in one one because you felt is that you can do a grab jump with funky Kong in order to get extra height so basically whenever you're there doing a double jump and it looks like they got a lot of height out of it see if you can tell that funky kind of grabbed his arms out because when that happens they're getting just a little bit of extra height and they can use it to make some jumps safer and also to make some jumps that weren't possible before now you're seeing some swimming on from goldfish and cruncher here swimming in a swimming - now you are not when I started so I'm only in the water swimming is basically just like with rolling you can cork through infinitely with funky Kong it's funky is not the fastest at swimming so he won't be the characters that we used for swimming the entire run but he's not too bad because he can corkscrew infinitely you know me and crunch I got that by the way what he got oh yeah he did crunch actually got actually got it you were over a million in practice always the tone of surprise jump in hey there pit from this level you drop in a pit you die and you go back to a checkpoint what's the name again I do you want to show them I think as the gentleman that you are mr. funky Kong you should jump in a pillow of course oh yeah if you haven't noticed we've got a cosplay going on right here got funky Kong himself yeah there we go give it up shorts then all is the cosplay yeah that's what cosplaying is this was how you wore your clothes yeah where's the bed actually all right in 1:3 here you can see that they already had a very fast punch spikes in it now basically optimized it climbs that in 2d platformers are always cool because a lot of the time you're just trying to do jump as high as possible but when you're specifically doing a vertical climb you want to make sure you land on the platform as soon as possible the next highest platform so you don't always want to jump too high now that you see some spikes they're showing up with funky because he has a surfboard he actually doesn't take damage from spikes again this kind of like your easy mode a little bit that they added in the Nintendo switch version but you still don't want to fall in spikes because getting out of them is the worst thing ever you move so slowly you have to hop along it's like you're walking in hummus and so what if we ever say I'm in the hummus that that's what's happening the hummus glues specifically right yes blue made out of hummus delicious I mean hummus was delicious I forgot how much I get from collapse for hummus yo shut up the chickpeas it's not a type of hummus we can have this conversation now we're going into an autoscroller I mean we could let them read donations wait we got to go for the barrel ticket first right oh very quickly look on goldfishes screen here in the top right these dips the barrel that barely saves time but we clap anyway crunchy got it as well as see about spike now you can read some donations thank you very much we have $20 from Captain took milk who says greetings from Moscow if I were back in this place I'll be watching this live right now but I'll settle for the YouTube replay much love to punch you for keeping this common in reserve for the extra hour I got you boy thanks for bringing my favourite platformer of all time to this wonderful event thank you very much to jump in real quick they're gonna be trying to jump up hills and take some speed when they go down a hill and then jump that's about it when it comes to these otherwise it's pretty weird honestly to analyze what is the best thing to do in these auto spoilers the mind cards in particular you just kind of watch the IO world record and you just do all that sometimes it doesn't really make sense it's one of those things that doesn't matter too much RTA it's more for aisles but with that you can do some more donations punching okay certainly if $200 from that a dude so that people haven't been this invested in competitively launching monkeys of high speed since the space race keep it up dudes I love that age thank you very much you have $10 from gummy bunnies who says my first time tapping into a GDQ event live cheers to all the runs in the wonderful community that's doing good with the charity donations probably thinking more and more it's long autoscroller $10 from Tsubasa Akari if he says yo good luck to all the runners in the tropical freeze race spike I've got $100 if you win the race goal in deep you're good you got it [Laughter] anyway nothing I don't have confidence to myself did you swap well now that we're out of 1/4 we have something important to talk about which is the fact that they can switch between funky Kong and the original Kong members that is Donkey Kong Dixie Kong and Diddy Kong and cranky Kong and they're going to be doing that immediately for this boss as you can see on goldfishes screen in the top right he is already donkey and cranky and the reason they're doing this is because of Cranky's paying get Caine which allows him to get very high and also on the switch version exclusively they can hit Pompey at some very odd times so you can see there are some setups here being used to try to hit this pod at the very top of the screen call that the god cod it went pretty well for our goldfish their French is coming up next goldfish is showing off some swag bounces while the boss is invulnerable unfortunately oh I was looking at spike screen my bet why would you do that I'm not sure wait did I do good I don't know don't think so Hey look I did that oh it's all me there you go all right yeah so do many things with poppy is that you can't like even though you can bounce up like goldfish is doing right now you can't damage him in between phases but you can try to damage him as soon as his phase begins and that is a lot tighter timing than it looks first just getting the Pogo off the right spot on the right side is very tough and then on top of that you have to dodge the shield enemy he doesn't bounce me away now if you look at Crunch's screen here he's got a he's got a large fish here rather large one he's good try to hit this second one way up at the top of the screen in order to dismiss it much sooner did a pretty good job of and then immediately hit pop again so that was pretty good spike unfortunately I think missed one of the hits there and now he should be able to get this next one yeah it didn't have to wait too long on that sometimes you have to wait for Pompey to move all the way across the halfpipe and it's it's no good alright they're all out of World one so they're gonna be heading into world 2 yeah yeah that's a big flap those are pretty good pop East overall so now they're switching back to funky Kong because I mean the cosplay that's the only reason why that's not the last you're gonna see of the DK family throughout this run they'll get a much lengthier appearance later but most of us we actually run as funky Kong if you actually like break down there's 41 levels than any percent and it's actually kind of an even split I would say with like when they're faster what not but it's just faster not go through all the menus to swap in Kong has a half second time so for three seconds the menus all right everybody's in two two one now which honestly I think is just it's one of my favorite levels cruncher dozen eat strawberry takes the top of these windmills here that's because these windmills are all moving counterclockwise or well sorry some of them are maybe counterclockwise some of them are moving clockwise and you basically want to try to catch the platforms on the windmills whenever they're moving to the right so that way they kind of pull you a little bit further to the right now if you look at goldfish mr. green top right he's doing an optimized climb here and he's gonna miss it and fall down I have to try to bounce back up to this trampoline so he's gonna miss the cycle there it's gonna open up some time for crunch n spike crunches our next one to take a shot at it in the bottom oh not quite gonna make it either he does use the hover from funky to save himself to ice from falling all the way down but that's unfortunate that's gonna give spike the chance to really catch up here now both just jump right off the card at the beginning here because of the double jump from funky you can actually just completely skip the card very nice now Denny catch if goldfish got the roll into the barrel or not but as the other two are heading into this barrel let's see if they try to roll into it which is very tight timing crunch will just barely bought the wall on stainless spike and ice bunk but by the way I don't remember alright and that's gonna do it for two one goldfish is gonna be the first one heading into 2 2 and this is our first Randy level which means that sucks booth [Music] yeah right yeah Hobbs got into a little bit how every time you start up a roll with funky you're losing light off frame it's the same deal with Randy only much worse it's something closer we don't know the exact amount of friends but like more like a tenth of a second so you want to see us change bounces off of enemies and other objects as much as the now you're actually gonna see over on crunches screen he's actually gonna like to do a lot of level without Randy yeah already in this first section he's just completely skipping by him there are some blocks and and other things that only Rambi can break but they just found ways basically to lab it out and not need Randy for those sections just find ways on top so the on top of the walls wait here yeah you can get some momentum spike got some of it there with Randy I guess the actual that's how much you want to get with you can't get much unfortunately with a funky compared to like cranky and older runs yeah old runs could actually carry a lot of momentum with with Randy because you could continuously bounce with your cane while preserving your momentum while on Randy but with funky you can still double jump with him because man he's got some arms on him he can really lift that Rhino but you can't do that more than what without hitting the ground so you have to have something to bounce off of and there's not always something there so far pretty nice the two twos all around goldfish still in the lead here oh we didn't really explain by the way that we have a little bit of a running joke that's miniature we're going to try to keep up with during this which is I'm going to shift my position based on who's in the lead of the race I'm probably gonna stay here so we're going for I mean yeah all right two three goldfish is gonna be coming into first this is the first of three global cycle levels what that basically means is that in most of these levels bait as the camera moves along the level with you as you are moving through the level all of your enemies all of your platforms that are moving all of that is is has its cycles based on where you are in the level however when in this level it's actually based on the music so a lot of these leaves the enemies that are bobbing up and down the horns that are that are playing that's all based on the music and so if they make any mistakes anywhere the platforms and the enemies are gonna be in different positions even if it's only slightly that can really affect your movement through the level so you have to be very careful first to just try not to make mistakes like you're always careful about but if you do to try to properly adjust and you don't fall into a pit because then a platform is higher than it normally is so far it's been pretty clean from it for everybody as far as I could tell and for the most part it's just kind of get through the level as best you can it doesn't you don't specifically have to bounce off the same enemy that everybody else bounces off of yeah that's kind of one thing that's nice about tropical freeze to be running I find I know about friend ghouls who also runs this talks about it you kind of get this nice sense of creativity and your own personality in the map and the movement that you saw like we saw crunch in the last title he didn't even use DRAM B he says himself it's not really faster it's just a different type of route you can take as long as you're moving to the right that is that they were listening for an audio cue and so they were trying to master the audio cue for each other but for some reason we didn't do it for goldfish I was talking like that's why you're ahead yeah all right goldfish is in two to four and you know just this game really loves putting autoscrollers on the number four and so this is our sawmill thrill it's our second minecart autoscroller and punchy I think you know what that means I think I do we have a two hundred and fifty dollars from dr. disco says this is a weird version of MIDI Kong Racing I told off the minecart car dude what a great game can we play that now we've done enough of this we gained a point you probably can all right I'm fine with that we have $10 from eg PM who says he has no style he has no grace spike vegeta might lose this race oh god I'm gonna need oh wait what you have $25 from glucose let's break a leg crunch ah much luck from the Santa Cruz kitchen table do can someone donate just the entire DK rap I'd be okay with that oh wow punchy I want to hear this is so happy to donate for a great cause also showed us my boy keeper behind the couch no but seriously punch me like if you have like any and it's funny how we have this policy if you send the DK ranch punching mask to read it this is not what rap God was supposed to mean and we have $500 from steve-o the human who [Applause] he says DK family but where is the DK crew huh we have $100 from ketchup who says go goldfish booyah booyah booyah all right I think I noticed goldfish lose about two frames total in this level so it looks like the lead is slipping and yeah it's really anybody's game at this point did we gain those two freaks oh no you lost way more than that oh okay not even jumping on the final platforms oh yeah that's the granny Hill we did not jump up that last hill you guys saw back there does it actually makes those little the three tiny platforms that you're jumping on actually a lot tighter so it becomes like close to a frame perfect I've never gonna yeah this guy's in the lead and he didn't do it all right in two to five we go so if I just kind of you know it's kind of a neat level you it used to be a dick sea level in the original version of the game but now is funky he could do these grab jumps so you can just skip over vines completely and really do these really big jumps there's also a lot of kind of rolling off of platforms pretty far because you can jump out of your role at any time with funky Kong as opposed to like if you were solo DK where you only have a living amount of time and there's the first death of the run unfortunately on spikes side goldfish is uh probably gonna be jumping in this barrel pretty early with a grab jump there once again grab jumps do just give you a little bit of extra height and then actually that first bounced on the flower will be let's take a look at crunches screen because he's gonna do a nice try to get up into this barrel quickly and then the flower bounce after this your first bounce off on a flower if you roll into it and time your bounce right is actually going to preserve your momentum as opposed to most times when you're bouncing on bounce the platform specifically like these hot-air balloons they will actually slow down your momentum the rest of the level though is basically just don't get hit and don't stop holding right and and you should be pretty good spike now going for the super bounce and there it is everybody nailing that one so that's good Oh getting hit there just a little bit but not too bad every time you do get hit because you're because funky kind of just freezes in place for a quarter second or 1/2 second or so it does lose you a little bit of time there are exceptions to that rule but that was not one of them that wasn't either this section stock speed this is somehow like one of my 10 toughest levels in the look getting the whole run for me just bouncing on balloons like he tried to make it sound technical that was just maybe a bad all right we've got goldfish in 2/6 he's already picked up I believe like eight bananas oh man there's so many now look at them all so this is uh this is very wrong you you actually get penalized at the end of the run based on how many bananas he picked up during it so he's really probably not even in the lead anymore but I mean Who am I kidding yes he is he's still in the lead Hobbs tried to find out some of you because this is a glorified auto scrollers you can probably tell Hobbs in his free time when learning this game track spend more time on this level than like actual hard levels is he wanted to see the minimum amount of bananas you could get when riding on these things it's like four it's great let's see if spike will go for some of the dodges I'll do the ride off right there you start you can only get like four I don't believe you I'm telling you man there you can dodge a lot of them you just got to be creative like how do you get dodge to all those but like water yeah you can without taking damage to someone go fish give him ear control like I'm just getting all of these we're not saying anything useful punchy you can go ahead we have five dollars from Jacob who simply commented the entire DK rap wait how does that go again I think I need to remind ya 15 dollars from my friend who says this commentary is on point I'm dying over jokes about promised donation goes to j-hope choice oh cool he wanted to go not what I said that's not what I said okay there is a kind of cool thing actually coming up here that we missed for goldfish to crunch abut spike don't worry yeah so first of all he stopped rinse the bananas good job and now you get a little bit of momentum from this swing and you can actually roll on the ground and do a double jump to keep it all the way into that barrel super cool and then this climb is actually pretty neat too oh okay that was a little scary for a moment but once again optimizing climbs is a lot about jumping as little as possible as opposed to jumping you know as high as possible and it went okay there but in general that can look pretty sexy all right we're in the scale here in spike this is a big favorite of yours I know yeah style is a Sephiroth but an owl so yeah the big thing here is that this guy is incredibly punishing you can lose like 30 seconds for missing any of these eggs in the first phase 15 in the second phase and 45 in the third so major major time loss is potentially he's only gonna give you a handful of eggs each phase if you want to make sure you do the best with each of those that you can if you haven't noticed that you actually have to bounce on the egg once first to get it to stop moving and then you can pick it up so it's very important that you don't accidentally like miss it because it might just go off the edge of the screen goldfish is now holding on to this first egg in the second phase too that way a third egg spawns and he grabs the second egg right before it just basically picked comes back up again there's a good first and second phase both fish good second phase so far from crunch uh there it is and now into third phase for those two spikes into the second phase the only one phase behind right now not too bad now there used to be orangey in these you know pretty much every boss well not every boss but in a lot of the bosses and actually when they came out with which version they got rid of all the orangey Nintendo did it guys they did it i'm gonna give nintendo the credit not not the people who made the game of nintendo the credit but yeah so they actually got rid of all of the rng in the boss fights and they made it the fastest orangie that was possible because they're able to look at the IL times to know which was the fastest because of that they don't have to worry about like knowing where these eggs are gonna drop in the third phase or anything like that now goldfish actually bounces on scale there with funky so that he's able to slap him with the last egg and then with his hand as he's moving out of world 2 crunch is looking pretty good to finish these off the boss spike not too far behind you get them buddy thanks buddy it's now bouncing off of it Olivia's bouncing off of the eggs is a little tougher than it looks because if you press the jump button too early then you'll do a double jump and you won't hit the egg and actually make it collectible like make it so that you can pick it up so it's actually pretty tight timing it takes some practice and there we go everybody's out of world too all right going into three one here this is munchakoopas favorite level because the music is fantastic and also this is the second global cycle level basically any any level that has like really interesting music tends to have some couple cycles to it but this one like the the cycles are actually aren't quite as big of a deal at least not in this first section because there's going to be a much longer cycle that they can't catch anyways so even if you messed up a little bit in this first section of the of the level you're gonna still make that cycle in the second section yeah the big cycle you looking for if you look at Michael goldfish is closed-loop themes are these puppets we see in the background they're gonna be climbing on he wants to catch the last one which will save him 7 seconds over losing it as long as you make that you're good to go the goldfish made that first cycle I believe crunchity is going to as well and now in this in kind of the back third of this level is where things get a little more interesting because there's gonna be all these snake platforms that you're seeing now on goldfishes screen the top right and they move and they move pretty far apart so if you're ever slow they actually because of how steep they get they will force you to slide down them if you don't do your movement properly and as you're coming up to the end here they actually need to try to get on the nose of the snake and then try to actually jump off of this last one at the right time to double jump into the barrel goldfish didn't get it so that's gonna lose him a little bit of time and then he he just like rode it all the way up after that now look at crunch his screen because he's actually gonna try to get on the tip of the snake with a grab jump he barely got up there he slapped the ground but he's in the barrel ladies and gentlemen slap strats for the win all right spikes now gonna do his best he's gonna also go for the clinging onto the grass and then double jumping into the barrel method if he gets this one he's got bragging rights over goldfish for the restaurant all right there's the drop the double jump is in there all right cold fish in two three two and this one the main thing here is they're gonna actually try to jump from the right side his flower and get a double jump up on to the other flower kind of skipping a little bit of that platforming puzzle there now they're able to just kind of smoothly move throughout the rest of this level as much as they can these baobabs all spawn consistently and they can bounce off the baobabs if they want but it isn't really going to be too advantageous a lot of the time the main thing is once again whenever they can avoid starting up a new roll then they will try to do that because it will just save them a little bit of time so that's why you do see sometimes bouncing off the baobabs here and there like this and now coming up to the end here there's just this large one that follows you and while making it to the end you got to collect every coin and banana so that way you can spawn the puzzle piece at the end because that is very very important and not at all useless now they're gonna try to jump over this puzzle piece as many times as they can before collecting it before getting into Louisville that was a solid three count from goldfish let's see if anyone can match crunch a 1 2 + o only go for the 2 I think there but he didn't collect the puzzle 4 + 4 oh you at 4 ok so I missed 2 there oh there we go but you didn't collect the puzzle piece so I think that invalidates it that's what I'm gonna go if that disqualifies him from the tournament we're having a turn this is a tournament now okay I don't know if that's one round tournament yeah all right spike got one he's got two he's got three can he go for four is there gonna be the fifth one he'll lose some time but he did but he didn't collect the puzzle piece and therefore is disqualified from the tournament what you were supposed to get it I was not listening to that part of it Congrats goldfish all right now they're into the third level here which is the frantic fields and if you're not if you were familiar with this level before there used to be a very tough trick called the dough speedo in this level it's still in the game but it's like it's still like very hard and it doesn't save as much time because in order to do it you have to be donkey and cranky and the menuing time to switch both to them and a switchback really makes it not super worth it unless you're a hundred percent consisted at it which is just like very difficult to do so our runners have all agreed not to do that one basically they wanted to make sure that they kept things even here I mean you should just gone for it's like I actually did well you did I by complete accident and muscle memory did well with funky though yeah I went really far okay Ramy being grabbed by spike here not not by anybody else e yeah I think this was supposed to be like frames slower I never learned the non good it's no harder it's just different goldfish is coming up to the end nice little bounce strat off of the Tuck there and there we go I just talked right yeah just one with a helmet Amy you're the pointy toes yeah pointy tacks are like that you know they're like they're pointing alright so goldfish maintaining that lead which is why I'm still sitting in the same position have not moved my back hurts alright and we're gonna move on to three four three four is a bit more of a kind of simple level it's actually a great one if you want to get into speedrunning this game and you've got a switch like this is a great first level to learn the il-4 because it's like everything just feels pretty good about it and there's nothing too complicated but it still has one fairly difficult trick at the end so it's got a good mix of like you can first learn how to just move through the level pretty solidly and then you still get to try something kind of hard and and work towards getting better at it so I highly recommend learning this one if you've if you've got the game it's very fun for the most part just a lot of rolling a lot of getting hit by fire and a lot of getting when you know a little getting hit by fire and a very cool trick at the end yeah golfers coming up on it first here pretty soon then I try to grab jump across and skip over this last rope they do a consistency strap jumping into that fireball there we go he barely grabs the rope and then grabs the next one right is not easy to do punch coming up on it as well crunch it grabs the rope he gets the second one on the barrel I'll show you guys what it looks like regularly when you fail well see spikes coming up you used to be able to well you can still skip these fire droplets that spikes gonna be coming up on shortly but like he was saying there's actually a consistency strat of jumping into them just to make sure that the Rope positions aren't in a weird place after it so he's gonna get hit by the fire here now roll deep big jump the grab jump and grabs both ropes he's there that barrel what makes back tighter than it looked is that you will end up a lot of the times if you're a little slow with your double off of the second vine you'll actually just get hit by the flame instead of grabbing it and you'll just fall and die and that's Greg's lose like 20 off of it so now they're into three five another autoscroller and this is a they in funky mode they actually added an extra heart onto your autos your rocket ship here and so rocket barrel or whatever you know they're called things and it's made it even easier and it was already really stupid and easy which is why you can see them stretching they're gonna take a secret exit just mostly to both Wow both to cut out some of this level but also to do less levels overall in the world map so punch you can go ahead and or yeah you could read some more donations super we have eleven dollars from n middle who says I'll donate another fifty dollars but when you spike vegeta comes in last place what's love I got you we might get that we got this PC app you're welcome chef Lane donates $5 to say I've been lagging behind on work and everything else today so they stick with that theme naturally a much expect screen I'll stop bullying you I've given you I've giving you more content here busy donate fifty dollars and twenty cents to say the 502 crew is rooting for you spike we are also glad our visas in the house you know someone in your corner I don't know if you heard spike but they actually said that one of the ways they found out about gdq is because they kept getting named for everything it's a good name okay you say alright we're going into 3b now bramble scramble so like i said the secret exit actually changes the world map changes which levels they can go to for the world map and it's the same number of levels every route i believe in this world but it eliminates a lot of that autoscroller and bramble scramble is that much faster level yeah it ends up being about ten seconds passed with an either of the alternatives and like you said it also just cuts off about half of that autoscroller we just saw so it's a very convenient very convenient well take three other secret at six throughout the course of the run for faster level choices bramble scramble is a really cool level because as you can see everything kind of unfurls in front of you it's just the entire level it seems like a you know not loaded everything's just springing up out of out of nowhere which is really neat but it's all very consistent so they do kind of know where every enemy's gonna spawn and they are ready and it comes down a lot of the time to knowing all right I'm gonna do a max jump off of this enemy or off of this this flower or whatever and I'm gonna do a neutral bounce into another neutral bounce into a max jump you tend to have these patterns down for four levels like these and whenever we talk about a neutral hop or a neutral bounce it generally just means that they are landing on an enemy and letting themselves naturally bounce off of it they're not pressing to a button to jump higher they're just taking that minimum height that you normally bounced off of the enemy all right into three boss now we got some monkeys yeah another boss party this was one of the instances that was most affected by them fixing the RNG to make it completely consistent and it's they made it in almost every instance the best rng possible the orangie doesn't really kick in until the so the way the health works on this boss is that all three of these baboons have three health apiece as soon as one of them gets to zero health then you will move on to the next phase so you're actually gonna see us sometimes hit other baboons just to move along the phase to a different spot so we can actually get to killing the other one quickly here in the second phase nurse team from goldfish worst orangie they would actually stay really high up on the poles but now they always come down for us and let us just jump on top of their heads now that goldfishes into the third phase here again like you have to hit what you just have to get one monkey down to its lowest shade and then you can you could take it out and that'll move you on to the next phase but go first into the third phase and now he has to actually grab a watermelon bomb and tossed it at the enemies is it a watermelon is it just a melon its water dude it's Kobe Bryant yeah so we call that the Kobe when you grab it out of midair and throw it at him crunch was going for Kobe the second hit is much more mundane you just jump on his head with a surfboard you know that's that's a lot a lot a lot more mundane than making a basketball job now in this third one is going to be rolling off to the right here and just dodging well okay let's go back to the left just so I could be wrong got him da he's gonna get hit intentionally or dodge it again because he knew I was gonna say that get the Phil Mickelson as he finishes off world 3ob to Nichols in there we go crunch you get the Phil Mickelson as well and spikes into the third phase I think yeah you've already hit them once in the third phase right yeah this is hit number eight yeah you guys go ahead and focus on we got over there the other two runners going into world for right now we said there was one other instance we're gonna be using the DK family yeah that's right about here they're gonna be jumping in two for one and the main reason to switch to the DK family here they're gonna be using for the entirety of world for that is because he is much but we had a meant menuing error crunch I do thank you crunch hardest thing in the game so the main reason here is that Diddy is actually the fastest the fastest at moving underwater basically and so they're gonna start out here with solo DK because that's what happens when you switch from funky to to the original team and then they're going to be grabbing diddy from a barrel under here this to actually little bonk there from goldfish hopefully won't matter but basically the barrels that you've been seeing around that have funky Kong on them they're actually supposed to be rotating barrels a lot of the time which are where you pick up your partner Kong's or get health refills for your partner Kong's underwater these barrels rotate twice as slowly as they do out of water out of water it's one second underwater is two seconds but before every rotation to the next the next partner Kong starts Diddy than just the Dixie then goes to cranky now because Diddy is the best in for underwater and they want to take a lot of damage boostin I have to wait on these spiking these spike arms they're going to need to actually collect Diddy for most of the time underwater and if they ever mess up too much they might miss a cycle so even though they could they make up a half a second error it might cause them to miss another cycle which loses them six seconds overall now in this particular instance they actually wanted to pick up dixie at the end because there is a secret exit that has has to do with a lot of these currents and Dixie is much faster at moving through the current with her flutter as opposed to Diddy who's not really intended to be able to get through the current but he can just very slowly yeah you end up saving just a couple seconds switching Dixey instead so you can see goldfish is in the top right is gonna be the first one to get through that current and take the secret exit take you this secret exit eliminate several levels that we don't have to do all right I think one to two levels that we don't have to do and is also just faster levels and cuts out part of this level on top of that so yeah this is absolutely massive you end up saving like four minutes because we're gonna do one whole level in general cuts off the entire second half of this level and one of the levels we're gonna get this next one they're going into is very very fast only a minute and on top of that this next level we're also going to be getting another secret exit so we're gonna be leaving that level early as well this is for a has spikes making his way by the way to the secret eggs as well for a is a really cool level because you're actually gonna see every Kong in the family except punky as you can I'm sorry you can't see a family member do we ever canonically confirm that I don't know man the horse I am you kidding me oh sorry Eddy were right here alright but that you actually get to see every kong here you start out as dixie and then switch to diddy for some swimming and then you switch to cranky because this pogo is very useful for bouncing up very high and specifically bouncing off of spiky objects as you've seen crunchy and goldfish both do now he could still swim underwater as well but it's obviously the corkscrew that you could see out of like funky Kong or just soil decays in packs but now with cranky they're actually going to be coming up on a set up here they're gonna use some bananas and then do a max jump out of the setup they're gonna bounce and take a couple of ounces into this secret exit very nicely done there and that will get them to or be crunches staying pretty close behind goldfish really not letting that lead to far away spike barely grabbing cranky on cycle they're literally the last price and if you grab the wrong call like you have to die you can get it right it's a lot harder never tried I've never done it I've never done it yeah all right well I'm just gonna like kind of relax more because I don't think I'm moving so at least not anytime soon but my boy crunch has got this though I'll move eventually he's trying to throw shade to us he's really throwing shade to you if it was really good I'm actually what about me one do you want to cross me after yeah that this place is going Donkey Kong all right so now they're into 4b this is tropical keys not to be confused with keys as in keys are on but keys is in the things that unlock things and I mean we're at this point like this is not like the movement in here is actually kind of technical if you really get into the nitty-gritty of it but for the most part they're just going through this very long almost like mini level based thing it's very it's just a room based level here they got to pick up the right key for the right chest I think spike you like to call this kind of a Metroidvania almost pure like you go to some rooms unlock other rooms yeah yeah and the Wii U version we actually had a way to like go out-of-bounds and skip all this it's one of the few things that actually got patched out so a little minor thing to know but with that we could probably kick it over for some donations at this point cuz there should be moving through the rest of these unlocking some chests okay we have $100 from twisty maze little passage says go cruncher shadows from a former coworker to you and the rest of the department of customer love that's $100 in our position yeah yeah we got climb it up clap for people who know people we have written you got $25 from the dude who says hey spike I would donate another 50 if you win or if you do five push-ups if you lose we'll get that somehow all right I really can't do a push-up Dori I'll cover you I need you to like drown in this level if they usually got crunchy you got to get through you drown as well but again pastorals off you got 250 dollars from Steve's it says another year means another week full of great speed ones looking forward to the Resident Evil and Santa ho 2 runs good luck to runners and may the rng be kind to you thank you very much all right out of 4 be here for two of our runners two of them more content it's so unfortunate that happened in world walk right all right four or five here though for for goldfish and crunchy for fives is actually a really neat level it's pretty difficult one actually this is one that they're going to try to switch to cranky during because again that Pogo is like pretty useful there it is the cranky spot for goldfish boo crunchy might have saved it I don't know he was trying to break that wall but he hovered for just a little bit and lost him speed let's see if he's gonna be on cycle now he's got to wait so again that's what we're talking about with cycles how they can 1/2 second mistake can actually end up costing you 3 seconds in that specific instance because of having to wait on those barrel cycles they big one right here for goldfish the screen yes it's gonna try to bounce up onto here and then make it into this barrel and shoot past all the barrels that he got it really good very nice not the end of the level though for him all right Goldberg crunches coming up to the same trick here and the strong dong into the barrel end of the level therefore goldfish I actually couldn't speak I look at crunches screen if you got the the crate skipper now but I'm just gonna assume you did yeah so if you look at crunch with screen he's gonna jump over the crates here and just hover right into the barrel underneath instead of having a slap through it saves just a little bit of time but it saves like an hour in our hearts it's you don't want to slap the crates man it's it's real bad all right spike now coming up to the strong dong and there it is gets all the way into the barrel not having to deal at all with the rotating barrel arms now they do pick up did again because as you can see goldfish is in another water level so that's why spike was behind he just wanted to demonstrate right here why you pick up Diddy and now let's see if he can get the crate skip and there it is very nice nice job from all three runners yeah if you hover there I'll load it too late obviously you're gonna fall and hit and die if you hover there a little too early then you're going to scrape up against the boxes and you're just gonna lose all momentum and then you don't vary cycle based level that we're going into right here or that they're halfway through current cavers again just trying to get those diddy cycles on the barrels again they're gonna be moving out to second rotations underwater and one second above water trying to keep his health as full as they can to damage boost and swim correctly through all of this there's a lot of nuance to just correctly jetpack boosting with Diddy underwater yeah it's as someone who has tried to learn this game before like it's a lot harder than it looks there's a lot of buffering because there's the jet pack kind of startup animation thanks for the demonstration there goldfish and basically if you really want to just maximize your your jetpack boosting it's a lot more precise than just mash this button or hold this button over and over there's a lot of times where you'll see them just pull out like very small corkscrews especially after taking damage or when they just need to go a very short distance instead of starting up an entire new jet pack first a lot of damage boosting this level very much utilizing the extra hearts that were given in the Funky mode on the Swiss version very nice level so far for goldfish and crunchy I believe yeah crunchy should be able to get to the end here with no issues they're both trying to make sure that they made that diddy cycle on that next on that second barrel in the level yeah you do not want to lose Diddy at the end like I've got my cycle counter here I might still be able to catch it based on my movement in the level we'll say yes if not I'm gonna try to do a damage list route through it um if you haven't noticed yet and I'm cool I love that they're not gonna be able to see this please take a look at the name plate below spike screen oh yeah nice job whoever saw stream tech that was great alright we're into fugu no goldfish is into for Bhaskar this is a super cool boss this is I believe the fastest one and also just one of the one that cut out the most amount of time from it and basically with Frankie's pain you actually get this attack underwater where you could swing his pain and beat you can actually hit fuga with that however Gophers having some trouble here he's actually taking some extra damage and now he's letting fuga move around you really don't want to see him move around while he's vulnerable at all if you look at Crunch's screen he's doing it correctly and he's throwing his cane at fugu food drops something every time you hit him and all work it Rizzo ultra fat dude alright you never want to see this how hard you're gonna have to move I'm crunches in the lead Spike's doing a pretty good job of this boss as well at taking damage on this pastas actually okay you just don't want to lose your partner Kong too much oh he's not doing too well nevermind yeah no no I'm doing well okay this is my strat I'm just oh man goldfish he's down to two hearts at this point he is going both that there's no more issues there are a lot of as you see these spike you know enemies are moving from off-screen and he can hit the boss oh no not quite yeah you ready here we go alright one more hit and what spikes taking second place now don't worry about it don't worry about it you got this this is like one of the biggest mistakes you can make this is what happened to goldfish unfortunately and now I think we owe like $5,000 if I win this Oh we're into World five now five one very neat level as well we're back to funky Kong and there are some really cool tricks in this level utilizing that double jump and also with grabs and in particular because once again if they grab while jumping with punky specifically then you can actually get some extra height out of your jump now you're gonna see them just completely skip most of these this trolley with the double Chomp crunchy also did a neat trick that I didn't really get to explain so we'll get to see the replay on spike screen shortly you think I'm gonna get it crunches moving to the end of the level actually take a look at his screen on the bottom because he's going to be trying to skip all the way in this barrel okay we're good he's get one of the barrels that worked out okay not too bad he did unfortunately bonk the wall there for a little bit now take a look at Spike's screen he's just activating that platform and then moving off it as quickly as he can not quite gonna get the full bounce but he did manage to get onto that platform just barely and he's able to land onto the trolley was it perfect but he's still got there eventually and I believe that's his motto good enough anyone else been here a B student in school all right let's look at goldfishes screams and he bounced all the way onto the trolley so that was looking pretty good we used to call this the trusty trolley but we don't have to trust it anymore with funky Kong so you could just completely jump off of it as soon as as soon as possible spike completely skipping the barrels that's how it's supposed to look nice job that's difficult clap none of you get it if you don't understand I always look at goldfish she's gonna try to dip under this barrel as well and he gets it as well nicely done do you people realize how hard it is to play at the heel game it's like you know it's really cool what's the Hat I'm gonna get the past you again crunchy here's then a nostril actually they're always not I was throwing a 5-2 rocket barrel Lois we never even really explained the mechanic here its whole day to move up and don't hold a to move down and that's really all there is to it and and with that I think we can go ahead and kick it over for some more donations please don't enter this next one we have 200 tellers from brinstar so they're finally here yeah performing for you if you know the word you can join in to put your hands together if you wanna do that as we take you through this monkey wrap DK Donkey Kong he's the leader of the bunch you know him well he is finally back to kick some tail he's the first of I did I don't actually know the rhythm to it I had to google it you were just sitting over there like watching a youtube video that is one dedicated host ladies like you hundred dollars per bird all the jokes pen should keep an awesome attitude in your honor here's ten dollars for you just joke at your expense the winner is you thank you now I have an excuse to read more of them on that note $25 from heck and sleepy who says I can't or a spike is doing poorly or feel the two runners are just playing that well either way good luck to all the runners that was an old donation I know they had to dig that one up some four minutes ago so one of them is out of the artistic roller I like we got most of the DK rap in during the entire autoscroller what are you talking about most of it anyways we're now into a fruity factory which I finally called by the right name for one this is a level with conveyor belts and if you've ever seen a speedrun of any game that has conveyor belts in it you know that ones that moved the to the left or bad and wants to move to the right are good so they're gonna basically try to minimize the amount of time that they're rolling on conveyor belts that are moving to the left and maximizes me on an amount of time that they're rolling on conveyor belts to the right contra is done a pretty good job of that so far this is a pretty like it's it's a really neat level because it's just like one of those that it just feels good to go through and get everything right like there's some levels that you can't necessarily explain based one on just seeing it but it's just it just feels good absolutely banger of a track that is trip wise I can only hear your audio so I only just got to start hearing it you're welcome I'm getting faster come on behind this guy nice little bounce off of the plant there for crunch oh in order to kind of bounce up onto the platform and break the crates as quickly as possible now a neat little double jump it's gonna get him all the way to the end except he's got to fall down Poneke and now with was funky this section became pretty easy cuz Punky's got a neat little hover I mean it was already pretty easy but at this point you could just double jump and hover in place and wait for a platform to spawn beneath you so nothing too special about it he's gonna try to jump at the yeah exactly as high as possible to get into the barrel while it's still off-screen and did a very nice job there the one nice thing about the hover that despite the fact that it kills all your momentum which I don't remember if we actually mentioned yet or not but he funky Kong has the hover and it will kill all of your momentum you practically never want to see it but the one nice thing about it is it can save you if you're able to sit there and wait on a cycle for something so this is one of the cases where like that could potentially show up spikes the next one in this section but I really don't expect there to be too many issues just demonstrating the hover there I like it I like it I wanted to keep slapping it's like I'm coming for you by the way please no look I'm right there this is like a horror movie the man with glasses is coming for me when's that movie coming out the man with the glasses most mundane movie at the movie posters just a black background and just glasses with white little crunches at 5:40 actually just unfortunately missed picking up that bomb you want to grab bombs as soon as possible because it starts they're fused it starts moving they're fused faster when you pick them up and unfortunately he had to take two passes at that bomb it's actually more difficult than it looks because you want to start a roll and then grab the bomb right after like right as you jump more or less so that way you can actually get a roll jump and have some extra speed and still have the bomb in your hands you can throw it at the at the wall that is that you need to actually blow up I don't remember if spike is actually gonna go for that or not I know okay so we will see what it looks like when you don't do that watch going shortly after which we'll pass them go back with the bomb see how you can see spike does a nice little hop there and then throws the bomb but if you look at goldfishes screen top right you're gonna see as this bomb spawns is gonna roll jump into it and grab it and that allows them to double jump through the door and keep a lot of that speed now crunch you just took the secret exit of this level that is this I think this is the secret exit that saves the least amount of time but it really you'd ever want to go to Jamboree which is the level that you would go to if you didn't take the secret exit coming up here goldfish and I have a big Cline that we have to do to catch cycles up at the top of the platforms wall to get to the secret exit very easily you can die here and lose a ton of time yeah we'll look at spiked screens the urban yeti in the top left here he made a nice job on that climb now this is the kind of the tough part is making sure that you don't fall in that pit by some means that was a neat little way of doing it going through that top route crunch was saving himself with a hover for a little bit there all but only momentarily unfortunately that's gonna be a death hits gonna he is still going to remain in the lead but he's coming for the urban yet he is chasing oh that's what my name is on the pitch yeah I told you he couldn't see it I'll take it over spike vegeta - that's what I thought they were gonna make it creative whoever owns spike vegeta on games done 'quick calm never take it back so the cruncher is actually well all three of them now are in the last level of global cycles that we really care about and because of crunch of dying that really is gonna throw off the cycles form quite a bit that's why you know you can see him taking a hit here and he's a whole barely going to launch onto that platform right before it spawns now there is a drop here he's taking a hit intentionally so we can just make it through the rest of that shaft there the hit will pause him in the air just for just a moment so that way stim crushers beneath him could open up and now the rest of this he's really just got a try to get through the barrels as efficiently as he can I mean while the other two could catch up sometime due to that death and also the instant global cycle you know mismatch afterwards Oh but unfortunately for a goldfish he's missing the button trying to save the frames' and that's going to cost him in a second and then yeah more damage - luckily funky Kong is a beefy dude he's got five hearts of health again intentional damage when dropping through the shaft there so they can get to the bottom some really neat cycles can be made in this level but not none of them did it spiked with a nice strap bouncing off the hoots there took damage but it still didn't matter he was able to keep a lot of speed and then double jump into the barrel let's see if goldfish can do it as well and yeah it does it even without the damage very nice taking the damage there you'll you'll you're absolutely happy to do that I want to direct you guys go over to cruncher right now this bubble is really really cool the first hole where we're introducing ice physics then you got a little taste of it right there but you can maintain a lot of momentum by actually crouching on ice and then coming out of it immediately into a roll and sitting a lot of time watch crunch the screen you can see a lot of it I put pressure on you I'm sorry yeah you really see it from these boost pads and there's the speed that we like to see now sometimes these flowers can kind of reject you didn't happen there so that's good sometimes though instead of bouncing you up they'll just launch you back to the left and this is where we would have asked for unsure to turn around and yelled though Soto like you did last time but you can't do with the short-haul all right spikes now having some fancy speed work so crowds from Lang Garriga Crouch once again after landing just to avoid getting hit by the spikes that were coming down the drills very nice to be from goldfish he actually took a hit but not too bad because he was able to immediately launch into a roll jump off and there's the bat okay that was as much as I wanted to give you crap for it that is not his fault this game has roll oscillation we we basically as you bob up and down sometimes just that little piece of fruit right there it's like one of the only parts where it actually matters can interact with you in a weird way and you kind of clip under it and just reject you and Suns about which not only ends your role right there it takes me all of your momentum it really sucks so crunch is in the polar bear this is bash master and honestly crunch oh I'm getting kind of tired of this spot so if you want to take a death in this one I'm okay with it I could move over there if I can get in the lead that's such a horrible death this dude's like three minutes he isn't no rush time to point out the one interesting thing about this fight the level rotates look at the background yeah the entire the entire time the platform you're on which is like almost like a fighting game platform or something is actually just rotating in 3d space so you can see the background change with that they're just gonna hit the city at a lot of times this is gonna get more and more purple let's see some more donations please or here I'm even right very well then we have it all is from anonymous DK CTF developer here were seeing this game run by you guys and so awesome to see the tech in the new funky mode give those Snowmass a taste of the banana slamma can you add an in-game timer please how do you roll a we have 25 dollars from anonymous he says don't tell anyone we're watching at work go crunch and $50 from Sequoia who says so excited to see tropical freeze get run this year I picked up the game because of past GDQ runs and I'm climbing away up for Lee DuBose to compete with these pros tomorrow's my 30th birthday and it's such a barrel blaster spend the night hanging out with my wife and watching these runs thanks for everyone who's helping to make it happen happy early birthday yeah happy birthday man also you said and as if like you thought this boss might almost be over and you could stop reading donations now you keep going okay $50 from kina gone slow says here's my first 50 and I will generate another 25 there spike gets first second or third thank God I think sure you get $25 from Kappa says come on punky another $25 if you read us the DK rap it's for a good cause mate I'm calling you out I did it do it again no but it was really good there are four more person is I'm gonna peace out right here wait what alright the crunch is gone yeah I don't know what he's doing now he's sitting over on the timer like he's just wait what what was that all right we really well yeah please I'm sure that's happened before but not not from not to what I've seen you're not even gonna explain it are you like now that's that's just gonna sit there funky can hover for a long time okay I just realized what happened so he just bounced off screen hovered for a while and then finally hit the the water which sent him back to the stage thank thanks for leaving me hanging there for a while all right well these other two aren't done yet let's keep talking about crunchy he's got six one now this is I believe the shortest level in the game except for maybe maybe for fugu yeah that's right actually it's pretty slow or the fastest level yeah so six six one is a really neat level actually it's a super-fun il but it's also difficult you have to start off with I guess roll jumps could actually made this little a little easier or grab jumps that is not roll jumps to in order to skip some barrels and unfortunately crunch it going for a really precise shot there and just took the death he's trying to avoid having to go through this kind of long waiting animation he's gonna go for it again because it saves a lot of time and will maybe try not to do it quite as early this time there it is so he got through he's gonna take some damage but there's no worry because once again he's got five hearts that damage or the extra amount of hearts that they actually add in this game is really nice not only for safety but because you can use a lot more damage boosts to save time that'll come up especially in six to the next level but in the meantime we've got some momentum preservation and then the cruncher drop named after this man right here and I'm weird if it wasn't for him the crutch dropped named after NK [Laughter] someone find a tricks that we can name it the name of the crunch was something but it's somebody else who found it fanta check real quick yeah we have we have made it over $200,000 for the advice [Applause] thank you very much very much to everyone who donated so far that is awesome everyone thank you keep it coming all right to take a look now at a spike screen he's gonna come up to the crunch a drop but on goldfish's screen he is jumping all the way to the end basically there just rolls slightly off the edge and then jump straight to the end note he's gonna be able to balance on that enemy respectively coming up to that soon what happened to you I know I got a head room did that happen bash master wasn't issue all right well spike gets the nice roll and then jump as well straight into the barrel very always a fun one to pull off and now into 6 to some very sexy just long bounce strats here that you can see crunch are working on and then as he comes up to the end of it you're gonna see more of it here just a lot of neutral hops unfortunately takes a bit of damage there I don't think that's gonna be a problem but if he takes too much unintentional damage it can become a problem because there is a damage boost at the end of this level that will save a lot of time if they can pull it off so it wants to be able to weave through these enemies right here took damage right there so gonna have only one health get worked with after this big boost bounces past the third hoots so that he can damage boost all the way to the end that was really only started becoming possible because of the extra parts that were in the switch version are specifically in clunky mode so some extra damage but still made it through the level so not too bad for crunch oh we see goldfish I keep looking at spike screaming I gotta remember the old fishes in second now go fish is gonna go for this damage boost as well and there it is you justyou he just launches super far I think there's this whole like they just realized that you're too far to the right and they don't want to send you all the way back to the beginning of this but there is a ship that just has this long emerging process that they completely skip over with that damage boosts spike taking a hit from the hoots but he's actually I think normal okay for that urgently oh oh can he hover there it is he saves himself and he's gonna make a platform I just have to throw out the rest of the level will ya luckily isn't too much and you're easy for you to say hey you did it crunches into sixth for now there are by the way no secret exits that they're gonna take in world six unless I'm forgetting something but they're it's just an barrel for each level very easy route to remember yeah I don't know if you mentioned this or not but kind of the big Easter egg of world six Easter Egg but the lore of it is each of these worlds or each of these levels represent a world in Donkey Kong Country Returns so we got eight levels here and then the boss so the biggest world of the game and definitely the most challenging now we're gonna see a really neat role and then grab jump from crunchy to get all the way to that barrel just skipping some platforming and another barrel then he gets to fly down it looks like he's in a super cool surface order pose as he slides down the the hill everything they did about funky was just to make him look cooler like every every instance of the original DK family not looking super cool they're like mounted a top funk funk he's gonna look better than that see look at this slide beautiful the sixth floor is kind of boring I'm not gonna lie it's a little bit all right but we're coming into our wait was that was a we're coming into sticks for you can correct me I'm okay with it no more fun just seeing how long you'll be wrong we're counting oh man I always got to get one I finally got I finally got world 5 right so I had to mess up world sticks but now that we're actually in six four we have another autoscroller this is the last real autoscroller of the game there's another level that's you have to do a lot of waiting on but not not a scroll and with this autoscroller but I don't know I don't know if anyone's gonna try to kind of trihard it and damage themselves down to one don't let me pressure you into doing a crunch oh don't worry none of us will ever think that nobody's doing it I'll die nobody's doing it not a single one definitely not the top right screen gold goldfish chance to assert dominance in some way man if he's gonna lose the race the only way I can feel good about myself man and there is a pretty common all right oh okay we're getting one from cruncher can we get the second there it is one heart but he did that right when he was born so any damage in this last autoscroller and they will be sent back pretty far cos there's only one checkpoint in the level yeah it's like a two and a half minute levels hope that no hurts yeah yeah there's no hearts for them to collect along the autoscroller whoo that was a little deep swoop there crunch huh now we'll say that when it comes to tropical freeze races there is a running theme which is that somehow goldfish will always scoop away the victory at the end so we'll see if that happens this time man you're gonna have to go ultra fat on food ones go win crunch it don't let this happen too late for me crunches just focusing super hard on not in this autoscroller it's great okay I don't blame you I least got to the purple turd everyone shouts the big purple turd on my screen our boy fries indeed all right with the rest of this brunch is now pretty safe yeah there we go he's gonna be hopping into a barrel and that's gonna give him his heart refresh and now he's just gonna be a snowball for a little bit and roll to the end barrel I'm sure the other two will be fine so why don't we kick it over for a couple more donations okay we have five hundred and seventy five dollars from tails fox says the inner agent three-fight hasn't been met yet we've got to fix that if you haven't seen this fight before you absolutely need to Muniz and vemos to all the agdq staff are supposed to bake this doesn't look like thick crust are we cool if I just load it up if you're still if they both finish Fredrick you should just start plays I'm actually down all right are all three of them gonna make it like just got this last little corridor to go through I've been peeing myself for a few minutes and he made it good you scum I heard those people clap for goldfish - all right so 6 5 on crunches screen this is the hardest bubble in the entire game enjoy so this is a super cool level and it's got three main tricks in it and they all have incredibly creative names ok so there's three big boosts in this level the first one is called the Inka Dinka that's right that's right it's called the Inka Dinka and he's going to basically use this springboard to get a lot of speed as he rolls off the platform now he's gonna try to carry the speed as far as he possibly can which is gonna be all the way into this rolling wheel but it's not done yet because now he's going into the second boost which is snow Seto he actually goes back to the previous springboard so that way he can get more speed off of that as well get a lot of good bouncing he's gonna save himself with a hover and he's gonna get a nice little backup boost take the damage grab the vine for some reason I don't know why you did that let's look at goldfish the screen for a moment alright he's into the incubator and now he's going into the snow Seto here and I'm just moment gonna get that roll which somehow for some reason like gives you extra speed once you go off of those spring boards let's see if we can get the full thing here off of all the snowflakes gonna get an extra roll and all the way into the barrel nice drop and goldfish it's not over folks because we have the most creative name of all the third boost that's the third one that cruncher just did and is now into the end barrel and that was the fantastic level from him the third boost coming up for goldfish as well this is maybe the most difficult that's why he had to bail on it very quickly spike unfortunately died I didn't see what happened but I'm not too surprised let's keep looking at goldfish I'm sorry spike I love you buddy goldfish make it all the way to the barrel spike unfortunately having a little bit of trouble there alright so trying to bounce over here he's gonna have to wait on the cycle at this point and there we go now he's made up here Spike's actually going to do a different version of the snow/sleet oh so he's still going for it but he's going off of a different platform so he's gonna use this platform instead and now he'll get his roll of speed right in the same position we're actually sorry in the later position and all the way in the barrel okay so good snow ski down Inka Dinka was a little rough this is no sweet it was good and I hope you coming up to the third roof shortly these others to in a different level don't worry about it yeah spikes coming up to the again again ever creative third boost gets a nice boost off of the first snowflake everything's looking good so far rolling jumping he's into the barrel a little bit of hovering at the end but I want to note by the way the third boost is actually called the Inka Dinka and the first boost is called the first boost but it was funnier if we swapped it around for that chip we just wanted to do to the creative boost name jokes rule of threes people I died oh yeah crunch I fell off the screen and died and then suddenly miraculously survived somehow for whatever reason the barrel you guys are watching up here on goldfish screen a little bit yeah so the cool thing about this level is that all the triggers were kind of based on which platform you land on so because of Funky's double jump and especially the grab jumps too they can land on platforms very early via goldfish just held right and walked off seemingly into an avalanche but instead he fell into a barrel that was hidden and was eventually going to reveal itself and he just has a visual cue on when he can launch himself from that barrel whoop spike will see that soon this it's gonna be a little bit alright into six seven now this is the this level is very kind of laboratory themed I know but you always like to call it the crash bandicoot level it just reminds me of the lab levels from crash 1 and you could actually jump into this barrel that crunch is about to get into very early so take a look he's gonna get onto the second platform as its revealing itself and then he's gonna jump right into this barrel off screen and save a little bit of time there and he's gonna slap the gong three times pick up the puzzle pieces he's definitely going for swag and now moving on to the rest of the level this is a level in which we're going to utilize every single extra heart that they have so if they make a mistake at the very end they will be at 1 health and so they can't afford the extra head so there's the first one just not having to wait on the electricity allows them to move a lot quicker through the level be taking up our taking our second one here soon right there I think he had to hold up just a little bit I'm not sure if that was attention or not I was trying not to take the damage okay doing pretty well here as well there's the third day which boosted for cruncher skipping over those last few lasers and the fourth one as it gets to the end [Applause] so once again if they take any unintentional damage early on it can be a rough time because then they suddenly have to change up all their strats bull fish has had a pretty solid level so far so he's just got it goes through the barrel oh he's gonna skip the barrel go off the end and actually hit the barrel off three and very nicely done yeah that was the jump that was not possible before we found the grab jumps she liked how I said you were gonna utilize all your damage just to like save you crunch to make you look better utilize all the extra arts I stock up it was fine I totally didn't just get her off all right we got 202 6-8 spikes in the six seven one level behind and we'll see keep an eye on spikes screen too because it's probably the more interesting of the levels here but six eight to talk about it real quick is another Rambi level our very last level besides the final boss as well and they beam with this level is that they really like to make you wait on it there have been a lot of discoveries to kind of try to avoid some of the waiting like what crunch had just did there we was able to go under the platform again the double jump from funky is super helpful here especially the fact that he can pull that entire Rhino up as well with him spike now is going to be taking his first damage boost here every time you take damage you got to remember that you have to like wait that extra moment to start up your next role as well as like if you're in an infinite roll it will reset that for you I believe you took an unintentional hit there so he's gonna have to make sure he doesn't take damage in that next position made it for the next spot so now he should be good for the rest of this level because once again local cycles for camera-based cycles in this level so he doesn't have to worry about some global cycle being off oh it takes the hit from the hoots though oh and he could have made it through with the iframes but unfortunately he took another hit so now you gotta be real careful at the end and the hover into the hoots is unfortunately gonna be his demise had a couple instances of attachment there you want to explain what attachment is real kosher the other pure in six eight I mean what am I gonna talk about there yeah right attachments just something where where you get caught on a platform more or less because you win and the off-screen barrel hit for spike very neat as well crunch have made it past the agdq barrel at agdq by the way we call it that because the first time this game was shown goldfish just mashed a instinctively and died because you're supposed to wait on that barrel we'll see if he does it again he waited crushed a ditching RAM be it really a question no it's not they like to ditch a ram be here not so much because it's like super time-saving but because Ram B's just not yeah I think it wastes time right Rama's just not good not not great yeah he's worth wasting time for it because remember you don't want to save the animals you want to kill the animals all right final boss here for crunch a goldfish isn't too far behind at all spike will get there soon fine well there was a trademark behind that soon you just didn't see it ok now Frederick here our final boss once again RNG has been basically fixed in this game there used to be some what they had to worry about but the gimmick of this Boston he's got a foreground and a background unfortunately the cruncher wasn't quite able to hit him with the first two enemies there he was able to hit in with a third one so in each of these phases he's going to launch three enemies you pick what you grab them and you just need to hit him once with them now you need to hit him three times and in this first phase Frederick's can move pretty slowly so all three hits aren't too bad now in the next space he's going to increase the speed with each hit so it becomes that much more difficult but before that he's gonna hop around some platforms and it's based on which platform you're standing on I believe his jump distance doesn't actually matter in terms of like speed it he just has a set amount of time it takes him to jump from platform to platform now that he's dropping these ice dragon things the the ground is also operating the guy deal with ice physics crunch ah ever fan of old music is loving the whole like me shuffle dance thing I can't do it or I would try to demonstrate it for you if you just move the analog stick back and forth really quickly you can get him to do it it's great there we go goldfish is doing it too remember to always swag out in the final boss everybody all right crunchy going for his fourth hit now and remember each of these will speed up so now fifth hit on the sixth it is when he's going to be fastest there we go and Fredrik you really kind of have to like hit him on the shoulder blades you can't hit him on his borne his like helmet when you can't really hit him on the butt either you really it's really a smaller hitbox than it looks there's the mr.pat pants orangey but it's not orangey anymore and really utilizing the power of the hover here floating all the way down I love this thanks for spinning based on the grabbes spikes that made it into the final boss all right crunch has only got three hits to go so he's gonna try to hit Frederick early with one of these these enemies if he sees opportunity unfortunately mrs. that first one now he's gonna wait for Frederick just stop moving and then throw the enemy so now three more hits and we're coming up soon on time for crunch they won't be on the last pit here but it will be on the slap after the boss here we go that's number seven number eight number nine and time alright goldfish not far behind I believe these are his last three hits as well got number nine and time for goldfish and I'm gonna shift over here you follow the here tha'll you buddy is all you let's go spike if I miss the hit I'm gonna plate across it like the other yep the cross when yours are you trying to I want to buy a figurine before [Applause] throw throw throw throw they're gonna be cheering for like two more minutes so just calm down I think crunch is also gonna try to buy a figurine now that was a bear switch home screen by the way you gotta get some more games not new hands also you should be ashamed of yourself all I have time for his donkey phone all

knowing you guys are here fighting with us makes me really appreciate what you guys do keep on running and keep it fast and quick love you guys all right and I'm getting word that we're ready for that donkey kong country interview with Jay Hobbs and we're gonna throw it on over take it away hello everybody welcome back to the interview area here I'm joined by as I affectionately like to call them the three idiots we've got crunch we've got Michael goldfish and we have the urban Yeti himself spike vegeta over here I like to believe that that's what it says underneath his name even though I can't read it my third different name ahead this week but yeah I think we're just gonna kind of talk a little bit about that race and that was a fun one that was probably not what any of us really expected to happen much more ly changes that we were expecting especially later in the run so just going into it give me your impression what did you guys really think was kind of gonna happen in the race and stuff like maybe some real bluntly changes or world two or something well personally oh I suppose well personally I feel like I make most of my mistakes like early on and all our practice races would be like I'm doing world one-one-one oops I screw something up crunch has the lead and then it's me fighting back for it and like hopefully getting in at the end but this time I had to actually try to hold the lead the whole time and then oops world for huge beef they couldn't get it back yeah I was super impressed with crunch oh how well you played all the way throughout because I kept thinking like okay somewhere in here and you had a couple of deaths but they were very minor and you actually like kept your cool and played really well I always said from the beginning I thought crunch show was the wild-card if I had to make a prediction I thought goldfish is gonna win I'm gonna come in third and crunches the like like potentially I could have Kevin's leading cuz cruncher could have been anywhere from like a 122 to a 126 he'll tell you himself right there's his runs are all over the place so it was really cool to see you get to keep that lead nailed your 6:5 and everything else there at the end ish Kurdran what do you think about the the race to take it over the victory yeah it was definitely very nervous going into it and yeah I think we had like a tournament for fun a while back and I think old fish went undefeated in that tournament finals races that I think you beat my PB both times oh yeah at least got pretty close to it though but not on a big stage not in the I figured it was gonna take some kind of Black Swan event and that event was fugu so do you think anything it had anything to do with the sunglasses cuz I mean we got to talk about this I mean yeah it was the Sun Quan it was the shorts I had nothing to do with me I always play perfectly you know well let's go ahead and actually get into a social media question that's pretty tangentially related which is from at digital ty how can I be as funky as Michael goldfish well just hurt by buying an undershirt from Walmart and then you live your best life possible it is polder in this room then you all face life tips for Michael goldfish yeah let's actually want at this point let's roll into our first club because you guys mentioned the fugu thing and we actually have a clip of the fugu Lee change here so let's take a look at that one what happened so yeah as you can see here on the top right his goldfish bottom is crunch and top left is spikes of spikes entering the level now and goldfish gets an ultra phat fugu right up here and crunchy is just like swinging through like a madman finishing off the boss and taking that lead I've always thought crunchy was one of the strongest fugu fighters like out of those the band's name fugu fighters out of our community really really consistent cuz there's a lot to that more so than just hitting in the back there's very specific positioning you got to do right there we kind of thought afterwards I'll be interested to go back and look at the full thing kind of see what happened to you thank you just nothing like about you just you just don't let bad and what's happening right there where he's bouncing around if he goes ultra fat it's a problem yeah it's already over but crunch we used to have I'll record on the Wii U version right yeah did something kind of special in that I'll record didn't you yeah I think I came up I had the first 37 on fugu by going around him for the vi hit and like knocking him back into place which is like the main place where you know special I was asking about it I'm just talking about the cut you watch oh yeah world record and I so if you get a a world record or like any time in an individual level time if you watch the cutscene first then you have to like everybody who watches your time after that has to watch the entire cutscene - they can't skip it they have to watch as much of the cutscene as you watch so for all of our research to learn what you did we had to go through an extra 40 seconds every time to analyze each movement bring that back to the switch because this game actually does have in-game IO leaderboards and now one place yeah one of the strongest I think I've ever seen among all games like it's a really useful tool like I don't know goldfish what would you say there's someone to like get into speedrunning this game oh you just do the time attacks 100% yeah you up the game like beat the level it unlocks the time attack and then just do it try to get the shiny gold to try to get the time attack records roll them and see the leaderboards and copy all the good people yeah time attack stalling games yeah yeah it's it's super it's a super fun game by the way it's like so absolutely learn it and you can learn it in small chunks with the aisles but except don't beat me into one that'll be mad alright let's get into another social media question this one from at jeg l VAR can you ask the runners who's their favorite Kong so let's go down the line cruncher we'll start with you I'm gonna give a shout out to ghoul and say Dixie and yeah cranky and funky obviously both very popular first as far as speed goes and unfortunately Dixie gets kind of obsoleted by funky Kong in this but yeah donkey found country - is definitely one of my favorite game still and yeah good choice well personally Dixie is definitely top two and it feels like cheating if I say funky but I personally think swanky calling is underrated and deserves to make some swanky Kong what what game is swanky gamma-d KC's here okay yeah he does the bonuses and he asked like little question hey blame him all right I don't know why but just three four three dude is like my boy chunky Kong he can pick up boulders with relative ease by my spirit Kong really all right so to ask another question about the race because we do have another clip prepared we're gonna roll into this next one this is actually six five it kind of ties in to another social media question so we'll like bring that up in a moment but basically this is six-five you can see the boosts here and specifically in the top right you're seeing goldfish nail the snow Sedo which is the kind of biggest boost is it the biggest boost in this level I think yes that is right what how much practice just goes into this level in these three boosts in particular and kind of how difficult are they a whole bunch a whole bunch and a lot it's pretty much just grinding the time attack over and over and over and over and you're just dying like maybe hundreds of times before you can really get it consistently cuz like I was able to pull off the whole big first section that's in the clip here but that took so much practice like hours and hours and hours like it can't really be understated probably as much as the hardest trick that was in the at the wii u version that does he do with the tornadoes right and crunch I remember you hovering into the barrel at the end of the level so how many times did you watch my il time for that list for 65 to get that strapped down you know I didn't watch the cutscene at the beginning I'm sorry like what happened so the I believe it was your first boost went fine uh-huh and your snowsuit Oh went a little wonky yeah back it up so what it went a bit awry I got a better I got really good speed actually better speed than I expected to and that caused me to actually overshoot one of the snowflakes and yeah I ended up having to like grab the vine because I panicked and I turned back and yeah and went slow alright nice miracle and I did want to ask real quick I'm just gonna throw this one just to spike our last social media question at amaryllis Misaki which is what's the hardest skip to pull off in this game and I'm curious if it's six five or if it's something else for first you spike I I think you definitely got to go with six five it's the crown jewel it's the toughest part of the run technically there is a completely optimal route you can go for where the dosey doe we talked about in world 3 where you use the tornadoes pulling around you can save time about like five seconds if you do all of that perfectly so maybe that would be something as well which boost in in 65 which one in 65 I just started learning that second boost from dks world record holder of this game a couple weeks ago but I think all three of them are like equally difficult you're gonna think like I said so many more hours into that level than any other one so III genuinely would say like it's a tie between all three of them alright well thanks for hanging out with us guys and thanks for having me on the couch to commentate yeah thank you thank you guys congratulations once again stir again to crunchy crunchy goldfish and a spike and I will all say thank you for watching and throw it over to the Rickster who's gonna be running jak3 [Music] [Applause] that is correct we got jak3 coming up by the Rickster coming up all right we are ready to go so here is the Rickster
