I have to keep those zips in mind so that I can skip the worst level in the game next time I play Sonic 2.

This is even funnier because of Werster hating emulator runs for Pokemon iirc.

I'm gonna have to miss the next 2 days of runs(well, more like two 16 hours chunks of it), do you guys think there's gonna be anything really special in particular?

He hates them globally, I think he stopped going for S3K until he could do console runs again (being accused of cheating probably didn't help). I thought his S2 run was console though, but I guess I was mistaken.

Depends on what games you like obviously, but the Mega Man 5 race has the current world record holder from Japan (ohon) as a runner.

Yeah that was actually a really good run. Werster made it sound bad but 24:02 is a decent attempt at a very difficult speed run.

Super Monkey Ball Deluxe is also up after the Sonic games, and that's usually fun to watch in these marathons.

"That was a pretty good run. I mean, except for the incredibly bad Hilltop, and dying and..."

There's a lot of potentially cool stuff coming up. Kirby runs tend to be fun, there's the Megaman block, blind and non-blind Punch-Out...

I enjoyed that Sonic 2 run and I enjoyed the ribbing from Werster even though he's bad at making it sound playful. Obviously TimpZ was aware of it and fine with it since they were doing the same things during his practice runs in the practice room.

Sonic 3 music in general is god-tier. There's a pretty badass Smooth McGroove arrangement of this one too.

(*No worlds were harmed in the making of this title.)

Are they just playing game music between runs to fill the dead air now or is that just the audio from whatever game was last/is next?
Either way I'm glad they've addressed the deadness of the first day-ish.

Thanks for the recommendation.
Well I like everything, so it's mostly about runner personality, impressive displays, or series I like.
Unfortunately I only have 4 hours and then I'm missing the next 17 hour chunk. Aw man, there goes the whole Megaman block... Looks like it's VODs for me.

The former. For awhile it was random chiptunes but sometimes they're specifically aiming for music for games that are coming up.

Mostly the thing to watch Shovel Knight for is the fact that Shovel Knight is GOTY 2014.

Also the fact that Drake's record is under an hour which is absolutely disgusting.

e: I bet they hit $400,000 during S3&K. Awesome!

The reason this song was in the game as Ice Cap is because Brad Buxer, a musician who worked with Michael Jackson, was in the band, and Jackson then went on to compose much of the S3&K music with help from Buxer :eng101:

This is correct. Pop-Fiction goes into a lot of detail about this.

Tails can't get true ending(I think), and he's not grabbing any emeralds it looks like.

Would have donated for true ending.
