How Speedrunners Solved Billy Hatcher's Impossible Skip

Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg's speedrun is no stranger to difficult skips. Many parts of the run will end a speedrun however one skip in particular stands out amongst the rest due to it's sheer difficulty. This strategy was once thought to be impossible and the level that it took place in was deemed as the hardest level in the game. This is the history of that trick and the impact it had on an entire community.

sick music. Sick video game !!!! thanks for all the work you put into this

[@diskoBonez]

I love in-depth explanations and learning about the development of speedrunning tricks. Really great video!!

[@austinmarks4088]

Can I just stop and say how much I love the music selections for these videos. I also especially appreciate using a track from MapleStory. That series and it's music needs more recognition.

[@Voliharmin]

Just leaving a comment for algorithm, absolutely top quality content.

[@poopsmithjones1]

so well done, should have way more views

[@idontwantahandlethough]

LOL I used to play this game with my little bro when he was just a little baby because it would make him laugh _uncontrollably_ for some reason (it *is* a silly premise for a game, I suppose?) It was really cute.
Anyway, great video man. It makes me happy to know people are still playing this game, and not only that, they're speedrunning it 🤗
(you made the tricks understandable to someone who hasn't played the game in almost two decades; I think that's pretty impressive of you!)

[@PkKirby]

Crazy to see such quality from a small creator like yourself, great work.

[@Kyrrone]

Thank you so much 😀

[@sirwangtime4024]

do I know a thing about speed running? No. Do I know anything about Billy Hatcher? Also, no. Did I watch this whole thing? Yes.

[@osukarui]

Really good video! Really like the detailed breakdown and the pacing felt great. Only a matter of time before your channel blows up.

[@Kyrrone]

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it

[@Dvard]
