I come watch this run at least twice a year because it's my favorite SNES platformer and my favorite gdq run ever. Technical, fun to watch and great couch that's knowledgeable and entertaining. A+
I want a remastered version of Aladdin on DVD and Blu-ray with this couch doing the voices, "wow" included. By the way: Good couch, good run, good audience, good event... You cant' ask for anythin better than this.
This is probably my favorite agdq run of all time. Personally this game is one of the most nostalgic of my SNES days. Super good run (minus the 1 death) and of course the excellent commentary. EXEMPLARY!
That was pretty entertaining! Also, apparently I could've been speed running this game as a kid. I enjoyed this game so much, that I would routinely play it and finish around 25 minutes or so. Of course, I didn't know speed running was a thing back then.
I actually beat this game as a child. Every saturday I played this, til I actually git gud....and man, when I tried it again as an adult, it's murdering me.
This was the first game I ever played and that lava auto scroller fucked me up so much. I could never beat it...forget about the genie level. Also my uncle used to beat it so easily I was like wuh how?!
I remembered taking forever to beat that level too. I had all the passwords written down for this game. But the most frustrating/rage-inducing levels for me were the genie ones, mostly because of how happy everything was in contrast. The difficulty felt like the game was trolling me. I also only made it to the first boss a couple of years after I got the game.
i so hope they return next year, don´t care if they play Aladdin again. This is simply a couch having a time of their life!. Funniest and best guys ever at AGDQ!. xD "Wow, does that feel good?" xD
+ValensBellator I never can tell if people are saying that seriously. I didn't play the genesis version until way after the SNES version, but when I did I thought it was pretty bad in contrast. Not at all fluid controls, the graphics were rougher and the colors a bit gross, the music didn't sound right, and the levels were a bit of a mess. But, it had more complex animations.
Shawn Wesley We certainly are serious! :p While most people tend to favor the version they played first, enough of us who played both favor the Genesis that it's usually on the short list of games where the Genesis has the superior version. Overall, the music is superior (one of the rare times I prefer Genesis music), the animation was done by actual Disney animators which is why it has that Disney look as opposed to the different style on the SNES, and the inclusion of things like the increased Apple count and sword make it (for many) a more enjoyable game. The voters of Kotaku seem to agree, with 58% of about 20,500 voters choosing the Genesis compared to 38.5% for the SNES version (a few choose the "other version" option). Factor in that the designer of Capcom's SNES version Shinji Shikami (of resident evil fame) prefers the Genesis version and that the SNES port was primarily a Capcom copy of the original Genesis version (as it came first), and it certainly doesn't seem unreasonable to feel that, in this case, Sega offered the better option. kotaku.com/5922549/lets-settle-this-once-and-for-all-genesis-aladdin-or-super-nes-aladdin
I appreciate that sometimes I'm in the minority. I really just can't concede this point, however. And the opinion of Kotaku readers is irrelevant (don't tell them that, though). But it is what it is.
I played the Genesis version growing up, and even I can say the SNES version is overall better. The Genesis version's platforming was wonky and led to deaths that shouldn't happen. Also, people continually point to the sword on Genesis as a plus, while also trying to say Genesis is better bc it "follows the movie more". Uh...hello, Aladdin had no sword in the movie. He was a homeless dude. Also the sword, like the platforming, is wonky and has a tendency not to work right.
I remember playin a fuckin alladdin game for 2 minutes the enemies in that game did a "come hither" gesture with their fingers like their about to show you a discount on their sales and if u got close to them they would immediately surprise you and try to cut off your toes with their sword the fuck?

This couch and the runner, man I love them so much
I come watch this run at least twice a year because it's my favorite SNES platformer and my favorite gdq run ever. Technical, fun to watch and great couch that's knowledgeable and entertaining. A+
This run has it all I'd say, great runner.
Commentary, couch. Damn this is... SSS Rank
I want a remastered version of Aladdin on DVD and Blu-ray with this couch doing the voices, "wow" included. By the way: Good couch, good run, good audience, good event... You cant' ask for anythin better than this.
Amazing run, you have to bring these guys back for sgdq!
This is probably my favorite agdq run of all time. Personally this game is one of the most nostalgic of my SNES days. Super good run (minus the 1 death) and of course the excellent commentary. EXEMPLARY!
the ending voice overs had me in tears XD
That reading at the end...
Oh man, this was just great. I don't care if it's not a perfect run, they just have too much damn fun.
Dat Keanu Reeves voice for Aladdin at the end.

The ending had me laughing! God i love gdq!
That was pretty entertaining!
Also, apparently I could've been speed running this game as a kid. I enjoyed this game so much, that I would routinely play it and finish around 25 minutes or so. Of course, I didn't know speed running was a thing back then.
The Magic Carpet Level took me about 100 tries as a kid...when I beat it I swear I jumped through the ceiling! This was the first game I ever beat.
lmao the neck of the snake .... love it when it twigs with the audience in the back
These guys were great!
I actually beat this game as a child. Every saturday I played this, til I actually git gud....and man, when I tried it again as an adult, it's murdering me.
these guys have some cool commentary and are pretty funny
This game feels so satisfying to play. Those bounces!
This run was hilarious!! 😂

Came for the Patty, wasn't disappointed.
This game is tough, but a great classic.
I beat this game on the snes as a kid, so much nostalgia!
I lose my shit everytime they go WHOA!
WHOA! nice run!!!
all i can think of when he's in the auto scroller, "all this for a loaf of bread?"

That end was just too funny omfg
If they ever reboot this film, I vote for Keanu Reeves to play Aladdin. WHOA
Well then x)
Lul
And Genie as Will Smith would be terrific!
The end was easily the best part :'D
I Love this game , Great speedrun!
Genie, Jafar, Aladdin, Abu. The password to my favorite level!
HAHAHA i cant stop staring at the neck of the snake either now
These guys were so funny
someone tell gavin and meg.
They'll love to see new strats.
I don't get speed runs in general, but this is exhilarating to watch. 😊👍
22:50 and Genie started to channel Djafar and turned into a psychopathic supermonster... the end!
Ah. The game I put at least 50 hours into as a kid but never actually beat because of the dang lava wave level.
This was the first game I ever played and that lava auto scroller fucked me up so much. I could never beat it...forget about the genie level. Also my uncle used to beat it so easily I was like wuh how?!
I remembered taking forever to beat that level too. I had all the passwords written down for this game. But the most frustrating/rage-inducing levels for me were the genie ones, mostly because of how happy everything was in contrast. The difficulty felt like the game was trolling me.
I also only made it to the first boss a couple of years after I got the game.
The three dudes are really fun.
The end had me stitches!
Does this combo of guys have any other runs??
have these dudes do another !
Definitely started to say "Sound like you smoked all your weed" @ 7:09 lol
2:44 Start
Imagen the "wow" of alladin replaced with the "wow" of keanu reeves in Matrix
Thx :) My name is spelled wrong btw (twitch name is right), it's 2 L's instead of 1.
+JoeDamillioSR Great run Joe. Did you enjoy the event? I hope to see you on Sgdq 2016!
+JoeDamillioSR How's your career in voice acting coming along? Someone MUST have scouted you.
WOAH.
We all want to know whether it feels good. The suspense is brutal!
I didn't know Keeanu Reeves voiced Aladdin in this game
This was fun!
these guys are freakin hilarious =)
GENIE JAFAR ALADDIN ABU
Ohhhhhhhh wow my childhood
LOL the ending was the best!
You make oyunger me jealous this took me forever to beat
I only beat this game as a child because I happen to enter the right password randomly for the final stage lol Screw that lava stage
I missed this live man, fucking hilarious
Ending was hilarious lololololol
That ending commentary had me WEAK!!! lol
*WOAH!*
i so hope they return next year, don´t care if they play Aladdin again. This is simply a couch having a time of their life!. Funniest and best guys ever at AGDQ!. xD "Wow, does that feel good?" xD
O love how most of the popular games in speed running have a broken mechanic :p
Nice SR!
Always thought the genesis version of this game was better.
+Guitarhero1000
That's because it was, speaking as someone who purchased both as an adult.
Lets see them do this on the PC Aladdin, if u get close to 40-45mins ,, thats quick
*Sees patty on the couch*
yep dis gon' be gud
This is one of the only games I preferred the Genesis version of. They actually look and play remarkably different.
+ValensBellator I never can tell if people are saying that seriously. I didn't play the genesis version until way after the SNES version, but when I did I thought it was pretty bad in contrast.

Genesis Aladdin, runners?

22:51
They really ended the game on a Paul Simon joke.
