50:26 I just absolutely love how Andy asks "Oh my goodness, are there spikes?" and just a few a second later you just hear someone from the crows yell "How did you know?". Absolutely amazing run, commentators and crowd, even after a year.
Best crowd callouts 10:16 " *NICE* " 21:55 " *SHOOT THE YOSHI* " " *MAKE HIM PAY HIS TAXES* " 31:35 " *I LIVE HERE* " 48:55 " *OH MY GOD* " 50:25 " *HOW DID YOU KNOW* "
@@DJToneRI It's a big event with a bunch of people who show up in person, and this run was in January 2020. Pretty easy to figure out COVID basically killed it, at least for a couple years
@@ShinyMajor You got it, though. I mean, what I've been finding interesting in revisiting these runs from/before 2020 is that, especially once the pandemic set in, rom hacks like these become just so much more popular so much more quickly. I do think that was inevitable, just because all of the old, most beloved, "vanilla" awesome games started to get so optimized that they started to feel really samey to a borderline stupid degree. But that development really seemed to pick up after this 🤷♂️
Yes i think that is the hardest part of all the run, even gettin there is almost impossible, i think most people when triyin this get stuck in that part, i would do it for example
I only managed to do this recently for the first time on my New 3DS, by reloading a Save State I made in front of the boss door. If I had to use the in-game save stations only, I would have broken my console lol.
I've actually taken off all abilities except Morph Ball, Bombs, Charge Beam and Reserve Tanks, but he was still easy to beat only because I shot him the 100 times in the beginning
@@christianherrera1386 Yeah, whenever I play this game it's like a 50/50 chance I'll kill him if I don't go back through Brinstar and get some energy tanks and shit after Draygon
I think all those retries on Ridley gave me a good appreciation on why this rom is called IMPOSSIBLE and how oats was able to complete it under estimate was even more amazing.
As I sit here watching this again to kill time and finish out my shift... You should've seen him grinding his first deathless run. Following him through the entirety of that process really gives you an appreciation for the skill involved here.
2:01:52 Grand PooBear was correct about how many spikes were added to the room, he guessed 12 and in the original game there are 3, the team all counted 15 spikes. Good guess dude!
I just realized that if you watch the bottom of the screen after Crocomire drops into the acid and disappears, you see bubbles moving across the bottom, indicating that he is moving to the left. I've NEVER noticed that before. You can see it starting at 22:26
Rewatching this again after seeing 2022's Kaizo run, have to say having Poo on the couch gives such an extra vibe to the run. He has a way of pumping up the runner, couch and crowd. Oats is the Goat and it's insane what you pull off my friend.
Bro, this run has everything to be an amazing one, a great runner like Oats, great crowd, great buddies in the couch, a great comentarist, and a really hard version of one of the great games every, everything in place to be one of the most epic runs i've ever seen in GDQ history... Simply georgous!
As my childhood favorite game I'd watch my grandfather play ever summer when I went to visit and be amazed at his memory of finding every missile and bomb... Watching oats absolutely destroy this hellish version was such an amazing nostalgic experience I doubt I'll ever forget lol
Oats is such a tactful gentleman, and quite a talented actor! Secretly letting Ridley win a few times JUST to give Poo an excuse to donate!! But seriously, what a great end to this event and thanks for all the hard work you put in! Thanks for bringing it, man, you did amazing! A pleasure to watch!
This run was amazing. You're such a warrior for going through all of that in a live show and still beating the game under the estimate time (also great in-game time). Congrats.
3:37 "Moonfall" needs to be a new power-up for Samus's Power Suit in Metroid Prime 4. Maybe you could use the built-up momentum from falling speed to destroy certain surfaces.
D4Real thatd be an awesome way to do it in the next 2D Metroid. Or they can two part it kind of like space jump/screw attack. And if you do it while holding full charge it the same properties as a spin with charge.
I borrowed Metroid prime from a friend but haven't brought myself to play it, I've watched it a bit, and it just doesn't feel the same, maybe this weekend, we'll see
35:32 was my favorite part of this years AGDQ. Like, the whole week was amazing from start to finish. But the chain leading to Aneternalenigma showing off the jacket made me laugh hard enough to piss off every neighbor in my building.
the finale runs are always my favorite. the donation counter is counting up seemingly uncontrollably, racking up that last push to get over the 3 million mark, even surpassing last year to reach a new record amount, while the save/kill numbers continue to battle for victory, all while a superhuman runner plays a once-though impossible-to-beat game, couched by some of the most awesome people at the event, for a massive crowd, all of this to just have a good time and donate to charity to benefit the human race. i love this community.
My favorite parts? 4:09 *"OOOOOOORB"* 31:15 *"ooooooorb"* 1:12:11 (samus just goes nyoom through the broken crystal tube) 1:13:01 (same thing but the other direction) 1:21:15 (it happens again but like the first time)
This may be the best run in AGDQ history. The most engaging, the most tense, the craziest, and the most fun. Who knew it would be the last in person GDQ for a while. Such a moment in time.
I still remember the first time I watched a SMI speed run done by NintendoCapriSun. It feels like it was a decade ago. The thing I remember the most was when he did so badly in one of the hell runs; he just sped the footage up and added some awesome audio over it. Good times!
@@matthewkelly718 Donations are a tax write off. 10% of the donations an organization gets has to go to the cause. The rest can be used for fundraising and operations costs.

1:28:03 I never knew that the Crystal Flash was even a thing until a few years ago. I heard a song with the name Crystal Flash and it sounded beautiful. Why has Nintendo never brought this feature up in any of their sequels?
@@NoHandle44 same, its these type of things that got me interested in the metroid franchise, the amount of "techniques" the game offers you to play anyway you want/can is a really cool thing, the megaman x and zero series kind of do the same but in a different way
Hell yeah! This is the most entertaining speed run I’ve ever seen because the runner and the couch have such fantastic chemistry and personalities. Amazing run and I’m very impressed
A run so good I come back to watch it in 2021. The combination of an amazing couch, an enthusiastic crowd and a solid host, but I think most of all, Oats, just an absolute beast. This run is cemented in my brain as one of the coolest things in a GDQ to date.
@@BoyoBoy The version he's running is humanly possible; all in all, SM Impossible has hardly anything to offer, besides increasing enemies' HP and making blant edits with lots of spikes. Not saying that other hack is any prettier, but hey, it atleast edits more of the game environment in challenging ways, so there's that.
Otra crazy to watch these kids do what I did on my own as a teen when this game first came out. I had no idea sled runs where a thing. I just challenged myself to beat the game faster and faster cuz I loved it so much. Crazy to see this turned into a sport like this now. Teenage me would have killed to be a part of such thing.
I watched oatsngoats kaizo super Metroid run last night right before watching this run and I can’t lie.. although this run is amazing it felt underwhelming compared to his feat in Kaizo. The guy is amazing. I have died several times on a vanilla run of super Metroid. He makes it look so easy like I could do what he does until I try and get frustrated and rage quit.
Amazing run! Super Metroid has been one of my favorite games since release. Based on GDQ, I tried to learn RBO this past Summer. Gives a whole new appreciation of how hard a lot of those movements and tricks are. It's amazing that we're still playing SM 26 years later!
(These were my favorite moments, also never seen any metroid game really before in my entire life. This was phenominal.) 43:50 he's a dinosaur dude, what's he gonna write? 46:20 HONK 48:30 OH MY GOD 50:15 HOW DID YOU KNOW!? 51:00 it was the RNG manipulation save technique 1:07:40 oh yes the pi million 1:08:40 *"i don't get it"* 1:14:40 i wanna come for that overpopulated beach walk 1:16:30 mans was exposed 1:21:15 genericwhitemale 1:24:00 1,024. 1:25:10 honk orb hype kill hohk 1:27:40 eyecheck 1:33:37 after the previous part, this is the only time i was stressed watching this run. (also that solar flare joke was hilarious after) 1:37:00 NOOOOOO 1:38:30 he read that too seriously 1:45:00 love you oats 1:47:50 *THAT MAN YELLED I SHIP IT* 1:51:30 hmm 1:57:40 beats ridley 2:05:40 2:09:00 2:13:00 never seen mother brain in my life except for the very first part oh my god 2:20:00 WHAT EVEN 2:24:00 animals saved
SM Impossible is a great hardcore game. It's different from most of the HC games. It has huge amount of various precise movements. For example Mario and Super Meat Ball is all about jumping. Dark Souls is all about dodging. Quake and Half-Life is all about bunnyhops, but man SM is truly the mothergod of skillset because it has too many tactics. I believe this game was created for speedruns, I am sure about that after noticing that lower norfair stone cave doesn't have heat damage, which means that creators thought somebody will get there without suites
1:54:27 Death #6.... 😢😢😢😢 That must’ve been so discouraging, Oats, but we’re ALL SO PROUD OF YOU!! If I even got to Ridley in this game I’d be on death #8000 and would still be no closer to beating him!!!
I really liked the moderation in this run. I remember seeing previous AGDQ's where the moderation was just constantly cutting into the players explanations to get donations out, etc. This this it was super chill and a good atmosphere.

@@BoyoBoy The version he's running is humanly possible; all in all, SM Impossible has hardly anything to offer, besides increasing enemies' HP and making blant edits with lots of spikes.
Not saying that other hack is any prettier, but hey, it atleast edits more of the game environment in challenging ways, so there's that.
@@ericcartman7420 Yes, of course people can make actually impossible hacks. This one is cruel but doable. The one you posted is just stupid.
Still one of my favorite speedruns to watch, even a year later
This guy is routinely and almost casually pulling moves I didn't know existed!
Otra crazy to watch these kids do what I did on my own as a teen when this game first came out. I had no idea sled runs where a thing. I just challenged myself to beat the game faster and faster cuz I loved it so much. Crazy to see this turned into a sport like this now. Teenage me would have killed to be a part of such thing.
20 minutes lost on Ridley, 6 deaths... 😢😢😢😢 Doesn’t matter, it could be 20 deaths and Oats would still be NUMBER ONE!!!
He still shaved off 7 min from his last run I heard...
I come back every year to see this one. Amazing stuff!
I watched oatsngoats kaizo super Metroid run last night right before watching this run and I can’t lie.. although this run is amazing it felt underwhelming compared to his feat in Kaizo. The guy is amazing. I have died several times on a vanilla run of super Metroid. He makes it look so easy like I could do what he does until I try and get frustrated and rage quit.
Every so often my autoplay brings this back. I've watched this probably seven or eight times already
Trying to focus on the run is hard when the legendary legs of Poo are so shiny and distracting!
He had them specially digitally created just for the event!
@@sbyamibakura I heard he has advanced hologram technology
Steven Hudson yeah it’s the same technology they used for the Tupac hologram at Coachella , poo got that mad stream moneyz
Amazing run! Super Metroid has been one of my favorite games since release. Based on GDQ, I tried to learn RBO this past Summer. Gives a whole new appreciation of how hard a lot of those movements and tricks are. It's amazing that we're still playing SM 26 years later!
This was an *extremely* cool run! Really hope this returns!
Well done everyone!
I love when the crowd started cheering for you at 1:50:00
(These were my favorite moments, also never seen any metroid game really before in my entire life. This was phenominal.)

1:33:37 after the previous part, this is the only time i was stressed watching this run. (also that solar flare joke was hilarious after)
1:37:00 NOOOOOO
1:38:30 he read that too seriously
1:45:00 love you oats
1:47:50 *THAT MAN YELLED I SHIP IT*

2:20:00 WHAT EVEN
2:24:00 animals saved
I recall spending ages in the Red Tower trying to do exactly what was done in the run my first time playing Super Metroid... I feel vindicated.
I still consider this one of the Best runs ever. And the Best couch ever.
literally can't stop rewatching this send help...all these good vibes and more I jus' can't get enough!
SM Impossible is a great hardcore game. It's different from most of the HC games. It has huge amount of various precise movements. For example Mario and Super Meat Ball is all about jumping. Dark Souls is all about dodging. Quake and Half-Life is all about bunnyhops, but man SM is truly the mothergod of skillset because it has too many tactics.
I believe this game was created for speedruns, I am sure about that after noticing that lower norfair stone cave doesn't have heat damage, which means that creators thought somebody will get there without suites
So entertaining! What a delight to watch you run. TY
I appreciate the fact that the Save/Kill was such a large gap most likely because Save made it much harder in this run for Oats compared to Kill.
Such a cool fight intro with samus in crystal flash while ridley phases in
Oats can beat this. While talking. While being watched by someone. 58:21: I felt that “oh nooo” in my pelvis.
I wonder what the creators of this game would think if they knew that 26 years later it's still so heavily viewed and loved by so many.
1:54:27 Death #6.... 😢😢😢😢 That must’ve been so discouraging, Oats, but we’re ALL SO PROUD OF YOU!! If I even got to Ridley in this game I’d be on death #8000 and would still be no closer to beating him!!!
Awesome in every single way. watched the full run, took me 2 days of free time in between work and after kids go to bed.
Well done, sir! Thank you for your contributions to this wonderful cause, excellent work!
When I was a kid, Phantoon was the one who told me that Santa wasn't real.
This was legendary, I can say this is the best speedrun I have ever seen, even with the deaths, I can surely say that your skill level is over 9000!
Congrats on this run Oats, definitely one of the best ever runs on GDQ
In case it hasn't been explained elsewhere, that strange donation message was a reference to the song "Mairzy Doats"
I really liked the moderation in this run.
I remember seeing previous AGDQ's where the moderation was just constantly cutting into the players explanations to get donations out, etc.
This this it was super chill and a good atmosphere.

@@MyHandleIsAplaceholder He has a lot. Especially in Ridley
the biggest challenge is here 13:04-13:23 do or instadie (and that was before the first save, so 10 minutes to the trashcan if missing)
@@maxiqums1549 Oh, you are right :P
@@spike333s3 5 on Ridley, 1 on Mother Brain. In a romhack that's supposed to be impossible for humans.
