I think sunshine is pretty fun to watch as a speed run because you can do a lot of cool tricks with fluud.

I wonder who also thought that some enemies needed to splatter into paste when killed. Super gross seeing these happy pants wearing things become unrecognizable graffiti on the wall.

Sunshine is gross in general now that I'm watching it again.

Not even close.

Now Galaxy, that's probably better than SM64.

This year's highlights have been the Lost Levels run through, the blindfolded SMW2 Yoshi's Island run and the Shovel Knight run with the devs on the phone was great. I couldn't stand the Batman Arkham City run; too many awkward jokes from the couch.

Ugh it's been too much. I've got an alarm on my phone waking me up for the Dark Souls 2 run tomorrow morning. Somehow I get super into this despite not giving a single drat about speed runs the rest of the year.

We have a whole day left. Maybe chill out a bit until the best games get run?

They brought back this Ricco Harbor secret level in Galaxy 2. I was so upset it didn't have the acapella music.

This speedrun has been really entertaining, there's a lot of nuts tricks.

Living up to the expectations of one of the best games ever made (SM64) is almost impossible.

Also imo the added gameplay mechanics are a bit gimmicky. It's a good game, don't get me wrong, but it's not a masterpiece like SM64 or Galaxy.

Pokemon by Werster was basically a huge, continuous info dump on breaking the game. Only 20 minutes, so it didn't overstay its welcome either.

Mario Sunshine would have been an amazing game if it hadn't been for the required levels thing. Seeing the 100% run shows off how many extra shines there were hanging out that you have no reason to even look for if you're just playing without going for 100% because the number of shines means nothing to actually beat the game.

in regular, intentional play you have to get 7/8 shines from every level to beat the game

Which was still required even if you collected all or none of the spare shines from the plaza, the bonus levels, and the blue coins. You still had to do 7/8 of the levels instead of being able to skip some of the crappier ones (I'm looking at you, required Yoshi levels)

There's normally a bit of a slowdown and then it gets crazy on the last day. Hell, I want to say the Save/Kill the animals managed to do 20k last year in the couple hours leading up to the run, if I remember right.

Edit: Maybe it was summer games? One of them had people going insane during the race.
