the drifting in this game is really generous

This is one of those runs that is fascinating to watch if you're into time trialling, but boring as gently caress if you're not. I like hearing about the mechanics and execution but watching a racing game without any actual racing is dull as gently caress.

it's getting to the point where all these mario runs have been played so often that they're just not interesting to watch, kinda tough to get rid of though given that the community is all about them

I propose every future racing game speedrun for GDQs be replaced with F Zero games

Ok I'm decided
I'm gonna start running crash 2 so I can do a good gdq run to redeem that game
I'm also gonna start running ctr so I can do a run of that at a gdq and show people a karting game infinitely better than Mario kart

Watching the runner miss almost all tricks is kind of exciting. It's also exciting that the game only lasts ~38 minutes.

My favorite runs are the ones that either have a good pile of commentary attached to them (last year's Resident Evil 4 run, for example, was fantastic, despite the length), are relatively short (20-30 minutes) and feature interesting tech, are completely and totally ruined by glitches, or are games that are just mind-boggling awful like pj's runthrough of Lagoon. The two New Super Mario games were just kinda "eh."

Given that this is for a charity, though, I'm fine if they keep these Mario runs if it helps to reel people in to donate. It does kinda make me a little miffed that otherwise fantastic commentators like CapnClever get shoved into poo poo-o'clock AM timeslots because their wheelhouse isn't Nintendo games or Squaresoft RPGs, but I understand why they do it.

Pretty sure it officially starts on Caveman's run of THE RAPID ANGEL, an anime themed game on the First Playstation.

Tony Hawk is a pretty good run tho, but not sure about 1080 or Neo Racing.

What was good about it? I just figured one RE4 run was the same as another.
