as someone who's never had a chance to play DK64, you explained its mechanics beautifully and i think this is one of your most accessible videos yet, fantastic job!
"Votava, he beat your record by one minute.. *sips coffee* "Hm, not bad. Tell him congrats on the run." "..and 4 hours." *spits out coffee very intensely and profusely* AND WHAT?
"When speedrunners today look back at that 30 hour estimate, we laugh." because speedrunners spend 30,000 hours playing this game to optimize their run.
imagine you’re just chilling one day after making a world record a couple days ago, you look at the chart to see if anyone is catching up and someone beat your record by 3 hours
There's a cut you can do at the start to skip the intro sequence so you can save ~36 seconds. Combined with clicking off the video while the Patreons pop up on the screen, you can save ~1:18.
Casual gamers: I just clipped through a wall, I hope this doesn't happen to anyone else Speedrunners: I just clipped through a wall, I hope this happens to EVERYONE
That's insane. Absolutely no progress on the game for three years, then, within a five-day period, the game gets turned on its head. Thank you for sharing this in such an enjoyable form.
Just want to take this chance to say that you're skills as a documentarian are something special. Creating an emotional, engrossing narrative out of factual information is something many pros never nail down. Keep doing what you're doing, you've got something special going here
I just don't get it. I'm not a big fan of speedruns (except for wacky TASes like Megaman X+X2 single controller) even though I know all the games, but I'm binging through your vids for the whole day. You're... Phenomenally good at what you're doing and I have zero idea why. It's just so appealing to watch. And your music choices are extremely great, thanks for compiling music lists for each episode. Subbed!
ThyVile it’s explained in such a way that even if someone has never played the game.. they are able to get into what happens next. His documentary style is quite universal
Yeah, I don't do speedruns either, but I find these videos fascinating. I think it is a subliminal interest in watching childhood nostalgia. These speed run videos are like 20 minute redux of my favorite games plus reading a cheat-code magazines. I loved reading those cheat-code books as a kid lol
Dandylionheartedness it’s more to do with this guys talent of knowing the right way to make a documentary. His voice is great for narrating and he shows the progression in a simple and slow pace
Just became a patron and probably a bit overdue. Your WR progression vids bring me so much joy- even when I have no connection with the game. They are so well done, so well researched and I can't wait to see what's next. I can tell this video took a long time to make, not to mention the research that goes into it. Seriously, keep it up. You have a gift and you're so good at this. Don't be fooled by off label 'WR Progression' vids- SummoningSalt is the master of the WR Progression vids.
hey summoningsalt is pretty good but I've watched some pretty damn good "offbrands" before. just take the super mario sunshine wr progression by averagetrey for example.
Well, that's because half the time glitches are found to lower times or more official calculations (such as Zelda with drop tables). Also, the rest of the time is them thinking their run is the best possible. It's called ego, ignorance, and lack of foresight. Welcome to the human race. ;)
"he thought twitch would save his footage, but was taken down" and this is why I use the highlight system to basically make a copy of my orignal footage by slightly trimming the beginning and ending while renaming it. That way it isn't tied to the 30-day limit the regular footage is normally deleted afterwards
These videos are so fucking good. I know these comments are broken records, but the effort and execution are beautiful. Your voice and the way you explain the game and the runs are both just perfect.
I know how complicated the history of this game is and seeing it explained so well was awesome to watch. So many names I haven't seen in years lol. Awesome job!
For anyone curious, it stands as 24m30s today! It's been 7 months since that record has been set, and over a year ago a 24m50s run was done. The record showed in the video is in 3rd place so far.
God damn I love this channel My first run of DK64 took me 7 years to beat, pretty sure that's world record Not sure what it's a world record for but it's a record for something
I literally subscribed to notifications for this channel last night because i was thinking, “Hmm, it’s been a while since summoning salt uploaded a video”
My favorite little thing in your videos is when you say they "got to the final boss at world record pace" and then show the last bit of the run. Always gets me in the mindset of someone watching not knowing what's going to happen.
I find it amazing when small groups of people gather together. Humans have done this for millennia. You can tackle a challenge that is generally assumed to be worthless if you can gather together a few people. If you have a group of people genuinely encouraging each other there’s not much that can’t be done!
I always find DK 64 hilarious. I remember thinking how solid it felt as a kid and like the most out-there thing you could do was use Lanky to clip through Banana Signs. Oh, how I was wrong.
Just binged all of your videos, I absolutely love the dedication that is apparent in them. I can see you used to speedrun Tyson's Punch Out before stumbling on this niche and I'm curious, do you enjoy creating the videos as much as you do speedrunning? Surely it's more lucrative. Anyway, keep up the good work.
The name RingRush sounds familiar. It might be the same RingRush that's screwing around with Shadow the Hedgehog strats now. If it is him, I never knew he ran DK64 at one point. Shoutouts to RingRush for finding a bunch of No A Press stuff for Shadow the Hedgehog, and apparently running DK64 as well.
Fun. It's an oficial emulator though. Usually emulators are banned if they're not legitimate to the company. Anyways, its always the runner's decisions. SM64 has It Split, this doesnt
The community (Consisting of both VC & N64 runners) has decided several times to not split the leaderboards. Whilst no lag does give VC a severe advantage, and makes a meh VC time look better than a great N64 time, we still class it as the same game. There is also a filter function on SRC anyway which allows you to see the N64 leaderboard or the VC leaderboard for a certain category. Most N64 runners look at that for goals and where they are.
You're basically just restating the fact that they made the decision (which goes without saying), and then not elaborating. Personally, as someone not in that community, it seems like a dumb choice.
@@tails512 not sure what you mean by not elaborating. We have had several community votes and the result has always been the same. If you want the reason then you should ask the people who voted not to split.
You should do a Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door one. There have been several people vying for the record over the years and a ton of amazing tricks have been found that make the run really interesting to talk about.
The Luigineer I love that game so much. Never looked into speedrunning it, but I did a peril Mario build on my last run and it was incredible. Shadow Queen was over in the minimum turns thanks to multibounces hitting for 12 damage per jump. I love any game that has mechanics that can be relentlessly abused
@@PokeMario-pk4ot PM64 would be great too (although don't underestimate how crazy TTYD's glitch hunting has been), and besides, it seems like Malleo is getting around to the TTYD ones
11:33 - Infinite Anumission :D I love your videos Summoning Salt. I'm a software developer, and I actually re-play your entire library back to back almost every day during my work day. Really easy to listen to and well put together. Keep up the good work please!
I just wanted to comment and make it very clear how much I appreciate this series. It's so well done and edited and I'd hate for it to end simply because you might not get the recognition you deserve. Keep up the amazing work, man.
My favorite part of these videos is when someone becomes to the first to get the time down to a significant milestone, sub-30 in this case, only to have the record snatched away almost immediately. It's hilarious in a weird way.
alegro pirlo Sure, it does take time, and speedruns might be a bit more complicated to compile a comprehensive history of, but he should be able to release at a slightly faster rate. Think of it as making a speedrun of speedruns.
John Rogers He is a full time student and has a job, so making these videos are not his first priority in life. He will release them when he can, and the wait makes the eventual video release that much better. Just chill.
Put a beaver RIGHT between you and the hole, then bark at it and proceed to pray it clips through that god forsaken invisible wall. Seriously though, it actually looks like a glitch when you succeed.
Particularly with the drastic time optimization of DK64, speed runs are a like a life lesson in what rules are, and what seem to be limits: a microcosm of the modern world. Many people who no nothing of gaming could learn or be amused if they found these videos. Props to @SummoningSalt and collaborators for these very professional documentaries.
I'm going to tell my kids that when lenin said "There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen" he was talking about the great donkey kong revolution of june 2009
Damn, people are still trying even today :O That's a crazy time, not a lot of room for improvement! Unless they find some other game-breaking glitch lol
I never finished this game as a kid because I couldn't beat the arcade levels. I was so angry that they made them compulsory for the main story. Actually I'm not sure I'd fair too much better today.
Especially with the major skips discovered, especially the deku tree --> Ganon's tower bringing it down to the low 17s. Honestly I love world record progressions with heavy glitch techs, it's crazy seeing how people break the game and abuse the code (I.e. Super Mario World)
I had to mention that i've probably seen this specific video about 5 times at least (along with the rest of your vids) but i JUST NOW noticed that fucking sick remix of Going Down the Fast Way. Bonus points.

Znernicus is a legend. His portal speed runs are freakin insane.
I think I just beat the wr for the fastest time subscribing to your channel on an individual video!
Khed what was your time
Ryan Amburgy it was a solid 6.87 seconds
Khed it took me 5.42 pathetic
the song at 20:44 is listed as unknown in the music doc. It is actually Going Down the Fast Way from Rise of the Triad.
All of these videos are like the encyclopedia of the OG nintendo consoles.
Very interesting and appreciated!
amazing vid
but why were the images from 5:35-5:48 blurred
one of the other comments had a reply that said they believed it may have been copyright
Can you do "World Record Progression: Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask (N64)" soon or in the later future?
I know this is a late reply but it has really changed in the past 2 years.. mostly in the past few months.
@@jonahheisler Even more true for Ocarina. That record got halved in the course of a few months recently
@@soni-switch5207 Yeah ZFG has had a field day
Also, I wonder if summoningsalt will ever remake an updated oot video.
I never finished this game as a kid because I couldn't beat the arcade levels. I was so angry that they made them compulsory for the main story. Actually I'm not sure I'd fair too much better today.
I love the synthwave in the background but the Perfect Dark pieces every now and then are also a real treat :D
Thanks for helping me sleep, man. You have no idea how much I appreciate your videos. Please post more.
11:35
"anumition"
13:26 "pausening"
You stole my comment >:(
2027: beating the game without getting all the characters
2027: No items, Donkey Kong only, Final Destination.
2030 beat the game without turning it on.
2050: beat the game by playing a different game
2100: Beating The Game By Smacking Your Console With A Sledgehammer
20XX: beating the game without having it
For people wondering what remix of Going Down The Fast Way he used, it's by Henrik Johnson.
Respect to all the work you put into making these. Explaining the game before hand etc.
Love your videos bro. Very exciting from start to finish. Like the king of Kong doc. Great work!
Incredibly this record has only dropped to a 24:30 as of sept 29th, 2022 by sigmakong
"When you think of important events from 2009, what pops into your head?"

@@beesree39 homestuck, move along.

0:37 Wait, just hold on a minute. Did you just find an obscure midi song to play on your vid? Or have you ever prepared for descent???...
what song is that?
I don’t like speedrunning but I love your documentaries on speedrunning and I don’t know why. Thank you and keep them coming!
And this right here is why I love DK64 speedruns the most. A game where walls literally stopped existing.
Signakong brought it down 8 seconds on 9/11 of this year. Just thought y’all would want to know the record did indeed go a bit lower.
He really drove a plane into both of the previous world records.
OOOOOOOHHH BOY-
Update: Signakong has brought it down to 24:30. That run was done November 2020
Obama looked SOOOO young in 2009...
anosmianAcrimony That’s what 8 years as POTUS does to a person
It's mostly the grey hair

Obama is dk
Mr. Cub Fan 415 unless ur Trump
Is there a reason the pictures preceding the DK64 revolution are blurred now?
Also very curious y
This is crazy! I’ve been watching all these speed runs thinking “who figures out the glitches? Who has the time?” Liked and subscribed
dude so awesome i never played this game but love it because of your video. also the perfect dark music at 13:15 brought me back
OoT would actually be the spiciest one
pls deliver
Especially with the major skips discovered, especially the deku tree --> Ganon's tower bringing it down to the low 17s. Honestly I love world record progressions with heavy glitch techs, it's crazy seeing how people break the game and abuse the code (I.e. Super Mario World)
DON'T MAKE ME BEG FOR IT
I think he should do 2 episodes, like he did for sm64. 1 for any%, and 1 for 100% and all dungeons
Nickzurt agreed
Wake Dont forget the gender controversies, I can see the heated debates in the comment section already 🔥🔥🔥
Watching in 2022, did thid video get censored around 5:37 ? Or has it always been blurry like that?
That perfect dark music.... is perfect!
Summoning Salt has some of the best formatted video essay style videos on UA-cam
I had to mention that i've probably seen this specific video about 5 times at least (along with the rest of your vids) but i JUST NOW noticed that fucking sick remix of Going Down the Fast Way. Bonus points.
