Anytime there is Kingdom hearts in a Marathon it is the most entertaining thing. Hobz and Spike coming up with the balloon idea just makes it that much better.
I love this environment. Runners always do their best, but no one takes the runs seriously. "Balloons in my face all run? Sounds like good fun for charity to me!" I feel like gdq would have shut this down for not being serious enough. But speedruns aren't just about the fastest time. They're about fun runs and the people running it. That's why the most popular speed runners aren't always the WR holders. And this is so much more true for events. No one running at an event should care about a record. They should care about having a good time, making jokes, and raising money for a cause. This is what a charity event should be. Fun people, good runs, and a happy time.
@@fruitlion8 No, but I actually recommend using mostly mega flare outside of boss battles. It works a little quicker and easier in my opinion. Baloonra is better for targeting 1 or 2 enemies at most usually.
Every single time I look up on the top left, I just keep seeing Spike, Hobs and Adam slowly getting consumed by balloons and disappearing. Great run and very entertaining :D
Tbh wish I knew that before I beat the game using almost nothing but the basic attack and flowmotion... Though I probably would have had an easier time if I knew how to Spirit.
@@willsword8100 cure, aero, and gravity in kh1 are all great spells. things like fire, blizzard, thunder (until you get thundaga which is like postgame) all kind of suck, 2 of those spells are defensive and the third doesnt work on bosses at all kh2 has some strong ass magic too but it's at least in combination with melee attacks, fast melee attacks is what makes reflect especially broken while in the handheld games lots of magic tends to just be a kill button and melee attacks only do 1 pixel of damage
@@willsword8100 Not at all. 2 has Reflect, sure, but magic in both that game and 3 isn’t anywhere near as dominant as it is in the command deck games. 1 as well. In all of the numbered titles, magic is good, but dooesn’t hold a candle to how easily you can break the game with it in the handheld games.
This event is great. Laura was adorable. Nice to have a really family friendly gamer event to watch. A lot of the world is about edge now days, but sometimes you just wanna see people be nice and chill with each other.
I don't know what's better, the massive balloon monster swallowing the runner, or the little "guest star" just being himself! Maybe one day I'll be able to attend one of these!
KH has a way of bringing people together, from kids to adults just to enjoy these games. It’s nice, and good run. May try making my casual run a bit faster.
ive been playing the series for the first time in the lead up to KH3 and when i got to DDD i fell in love with the flowmotion movement. its so smooth and fun, i wanted to see what a speedrunner did with it
Wow this run compared to the previous. Couldn’t finish watching ToS run the couch was so terrible. They were basically fighting at one point. This run was so much nicer, great couch, great runner, great run. Loved the balloons.

I didn’t understand what he did at the start around 2:05:00 , how come he had a lot of dream eaters ? He didn’t create them 🥺is that what he bought? can someone explain please
I despise DDD but this run is so much fun to watch, the commentary is top tier and the couch is so entertaining to watch esp after they have balloons lmao
yeah dude this event thats almost entirely run by gdq staff and volunteers has completly different rules and tottally gdq bans people for having fun yep GDQ has never had a run called titanic where the runners modded frankerZ on naked ladies or Blue screens of death into cutscenes. then reinvited those runners to do it again but yeah bring random charity event hate into a youtube comment
@@Apclear oh cry about it, he got them in trouble with an airline for spamming their twitter, and he was allowed back the event right after. learn to let go
The only time dropping is a pain is if you wander into a boss fight with a low gauge and don't finish in time, so it helps if you know when the boss fights are. I generally drop twice per world, like I try to do most of my exploring/chest grabbing as Sora, then drop right before his boss fight and do the same with Riku. Then boss time and onto the next world! :) I'd take dropping any day over having three separate saves in BBS. At least Sora and Riku share Dream Eaters and commands...
The Drop gauge was slowed down drastically in the HD version, and a single Drop-Me-Not grants another 30 minutes without dropping. The Spirit system isn't forced upon the player; it's possible to go through the entire game without touching that system once after the tutorial.
You get used to the "pokemon shit" after a while You also dont have to do the more gimicky shit like petting them and stuff Just spam the water barrel mini game, get a fuck ton of link points and you can level your dream eater's abilities in less than 10 mins
Lol thought my first comment didn't come through so did it again oops And wouldn't say it's really 'bad' design It stems from a story element where wherever one character is, the other is asleep It's intended to keep their stories going in unison It's just not a good mechanic imo and could have been implemented better From experience though, the game is really fun, extremely exploitable, but fun

Does anyone know when the next one is coming?
@@Wulfi4 Just search RPG Limit Break date on google. But its in May. They do it in May because May is mental health month.
the mental image of spike and hobz going into a store and saying "GIVE US SEVEN HUNDRED BALLOONS" fills me with glee

Which is funny because gdq has been a joke for a long time with how their game choices and runners choice has been
I didn't know Balloon% was a category in this game. KH runs are always so much fun to watch
Balloon %, plus they keep making more balloons as the run goes on, extremely entertaining.
Makes me wonder, is there a category where the Balloon spells are disabled?
Sadly no
the spell is just too good
@@fruitlion8 No, but I actually recommend using mostly mega flare outside of boss battles. It works a little quicker and easier in my opinion. Baloonra is better for targeting 1 or 2 enemies at most usually.
One of the highlights of the marathon. The KH bois never disappoint.
I think if someone cosplaying as Balloon luigi walked in, it would have been super awkward and funny. Hahaha
Every single time I look up on the top left, I just keep seeing Spike, Hobs and Adam slowly getting consumed by balloons and disappearing. Great run and very entertaining :D
I love how magic in the handheld games like DDD and BBS is always suuuuper overpowered and normal physical attacks are pretty much never used ever
That's kinda bad tho.
Tbh wish I knew that before I beat the game using almost nothing but the basic attack and flowmotion... Though I probably would have had an easier time if I knew how to Spirit.
It's like that in KH 2 and 3 from what I've seen. Don't know about KH1 but I dare to guess magic is just really powerful.

This has become one of my favorite runs ever, and ive only watched it this once. The commentary, the gameplay, THE BALLOONS! So glorious

43:10 NICE
Riku: NICE
"If you're getting noise in the microphone, I'm sorry, that's a balloon."
Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Balloonra
I think this may be one of my favorite runs ever...if only because of how much fun everyone seems to be having.
I loved skipping forward and seeing them literally engulfed in bloons

Spiked got swarmed my balloons

Man Balloon just destroys this game worse than Magnet and Thunder destroys Birth By Sleep.
4:28
these shenanigans were great
Kingdom hearts? Hobz and spike? Definitely watching it!!!!
Loved that you leaned into the balloon thing 😂
I thought the cool control mechanics of this game would have made a crazy speedrun with awesome combat techniques
None of that here

Thank you camera man for showing the mayhem at the ens there
baloon magic in kingdom hearts 3 if you choose easy mode could be awesome ahahah
Beginner Mode, for life!
It was so fun to watch ! Great job everyone ! ;)
Oh gosh I am SO into this!~
WTF? This is actually a really good run!
The little girl in pink? Probably the cutest thing ever.
"exclusive to this" and then kingdom hearts 3 came out in 2019

So basically, Liam Neeson...
The hardest kh game I ever seen
I wish GDQs were still as fun to watch as this run. I had a grin on my face the entire run.
I have no clue why half way through the run there burried in balloons but i like it
What a great run
I was today years old when i found out the game uses water balloons
Back before everyone sold their souls 😢
balloonra is so broken lmao
are there any speedruns of this game where the player doesnt carry over spirits from past playthroughs, starting a new game from scratch?
Look up NG speedruns as opposed to NG+. That'd be what you're looking for.
I didn’t understand what he did at the start around 2:05:00 , how come he had a lot of dream eaters ? He didn’t create them 🥺is that what he bought? can someone explain please
This run was on NG+, and there was a mention of dream eaters being carried over on NG+.
Runner sounds like Elmer Fudd
Mine seeker but fast and easily accessiblemight be the most absurd spell in KH which is saying something.
Why did that guy pick up and move the other guy at the start? lol
I wonder if there's a No Balloon category?
...Nah. :p
Anime is a sport
I hate that they waste Hunchback of Notre Dame on 3D instead of the full KH3
@DrTheKay Has this been confirmed? I'm going to need a source.
@@YoshiLupus Sounds, smells, and is bullshit. Don't believe him. No news announced of such a thing.

4 people dont like ballons...
Come GUARDIAN
Who knew Barry kripke was a speedrunner
I'm more ashamed that I got the reference than I am that I found it funny
Where did all those balloons come from?
Just another day
Why does atzero seem afraid of the little girl
he kinda sounds like the dude from Big bang theory llol
E Z M O D O?!
3:00 😂😂😂
The 3DS version of Julius is much harder to beat than the PS4 version
keycal I imagine the hardware does affect the difficulty, having a full controller is way better.
They should ban Balloons from KH3D speedruns
Does anyone think ShadowStar is a reference to warriors? Cause I do
So you just saved your dream eaters?!?! BULLSHIT
Imagine these guys getting banned for doing this at a GDQ
Also the girl would be couch banned for 'interrupting' the run. xP
yeah dude this event thats almost entirely run by gdq staff and volunteers has completly different rules and tottally gdq bans people for having fun yep GDQ has never had a run called titanic where the runners modded frankerZ on naked ladies or Blue screens of death into cutscenes. then reinvited those runners to do it again

1:15:10 loved the run but cringe lmao
Audience just spams balloonra the entire run. Joke of a run tbh.
Ah yes, the gayest of the Kingdom Hearts games. Great run!
The stimulating owner ecologically mourn because locket conventionally radiate following a waiting table. cuddly, second brazil
Ugh, I want to play this game but there are a lot of stuff that put me off, like the timers on Sora/Riku and the stupid forced pokemon shit.

That's still bad design if you have to do specific things to avoid them...
Lol thought my first comment didn't come through so did it again oops
And wouldn't say it's really 'bad' design
It stems from a story element where wherever one character is, the other is asleep
It's intended to keep their stories going in unison
It's just not a good mechanic imo and could have been implemented better
From experience though, the game is really fun, extremely exploitable, but fun
Not gonna lie, kinda annoyed me that one of the kids at the end was in front of the TV. Let the man balloon Julius girl
Fun run though
I really don't see the appeal of this one. Looks seriously tedious.
KH: DDD is better than KH3 smfh @ Tetsuya Nomura
You really believe that?
Nothing says high quality run like a really irritating speech impediment.
