This game is about as perfect as you can get imo. Great sound design, great level design, AMAZING soundtrack and challenging gameplay. Just a true and real game without dlc or add ons.
Eldritch ' wow! I really appreciate that! the 4 of us had pretty different styles that I think worked very well together. v0oid being an amazing player certainly helped ;)
I watch AGDQ runs compared to just regular speedrun videos primarily due to the couch crews. I love the stories they have to tell and the awesome and interesting facts they always share regarding the absolute nitty-gritty details of whatever game is being run. And I agree that this couch crew was a particularly good one. Tis why this is my third time watching this run in a matter of weeks, :3 I just really wish there was a DKC3 run with you guys too. Then we'd have the full trilogy, :D
ParadigmZwei There will be a DKC3 race at the coming SGDQ - v0oid will be one of the racers. Claude and I won't be there, but MrZeraTheMant (on the right) should be, and RaikouRider and Smartalec0624 will also provide great commentary! Thanks for the kind words!
1:00:47 "The next bonus coming up we call 27 or riot because i'ts kinda hard to do optimally and 27 is a really good time. Void here is the only one I've ever seen get 28. Void, if you can get a 28 I'm gonna give $50 to the charity." "I will as well" "I won't, I'm too poor" **gets 28** This run is too good
This was the game of my childhood. Played this so much. It's genius. It had all my favorite game biomes: Lava and Swamps, even a theme park and bee hives! Amazing.
Own all three Donkey Kong Country games on SNES. Donkey Kong Country 2 will always be my favorite. I just wish my SNES was still working, it lasted so many years.
One of the best games EVER. I gotta give it up to the group of guys commentating and the runner, they made their passion for this game very obvious ! Great job!
Some of the best play, commentary, and group dynamic/synergy. This is literally my favorite run of all time. These guys are incredible at what they and it's so fun to watch.
So glad I went back to look at this run I'd somehow missed for three years running... This commentary is amazing, engaging, and even when I'm not looking I know exactly what the speedtech is at that point, without having learned the DKC 102% speedruns. It's extremely enjoyable from an outside view.
I recently completed this great game after watching this speedrun; that Screech skip helped a lot, even for casual play (I damage-boosted to get the skip)!
This is one of my favorite runs from GDQ. V0oid is playing really well and landing hard tricks and he's got some opinions on stuff. The commentary is really well balanced. The middle guy is providing good overall context, both other couch guys give their own info and do it in different ways, and the two guys are just chillin on the sides with a DK tie lol.
Long before I ever heard about speedrunning communities I did casual 102% speedruns of DKC2 back in the day. My best was an ingame 1:52. V0oid, you are a true hero! It was such an entertaining run to watch, also thanks to the great commentary! Mad props for bringing back those childhood memories! Had to dry my eyes several times lol BTW: I could not unsee Derek Vinyard from American History X on the left...
V0oid gets crazy respect from me, every time someone put up a donation wager he earned that shit no problem, you could really tell he was trying. Well, almost. Flawless run is kinda hard to nab, especially under pressure.
Yea a tube TV is definitely the best way to enjoy it, but the input lag on most HD tv's shouldn't effect gameplay TOO much, as there aren't a ton of 1-frame trick in DKC2
I got to say that this GDQ playthrough, I watched soooo many times. Best commentators from both the player and couch and best game by far in my opinion to the other DKC games :D. But I guess they say the DKC 3 is objectively the best?
I love this one too and def think DKC2 is the best. I also love runs with KZ Frew doing vice city and Smoothoperative doing Tomb Raider 2. Check them if you havent.
My brother and I began building a Jujutsu Kaisen jigsaw puzzle when we started watching this video. We finished the puzzle like a minute after the run ended :) Great run of a great game for a great cause.
I remember I randomly found V0oid on twitch while browsing the “retro” section like a week before this GDQ practicing this run. I was so happy seeing him a few days later running this
I remember that DK coin in world 2 in that bonus. As a kid it was the hardest thing ever for me to find. You just never think of it being in a bonus. But getting 102 percent as a kid was the best feeling ever.
i'm loving how we can hear the echoing laugh of BlueGlass from another room going on there several times--proof of how loud and recognized his voice and laughter have become. :) this was fantastic to see so well done though. really loved this game growing up, so seeing it busted out so amazingly is just plain awesome. :)
"If dragon did it then you have to do it" I find that obnoxious him telling the speedrunner that since dragon did this the runner has to do it just speed run the way you feel best !!! XD
this want the first run i found of this game i looked it up and found a different one from another channel but it was so boring i was falling asleep then i come here and i'm wide awake now surprise surprise lol

Goog old times, miss the SNES...
Yea just lose for dk returns wii versiom and dk3 double trouble ^^ snes version
I agree. I also think this is the best of the 3 DKCs games.
Not to mention the gorgeous graphics!
Couldnt of said it better my friend. Mt favorite game still
The commentary in this speed run is top notch!
10/10 commentary from both runner and couch, really enjoyable watch.
+Squival138 thanks!!
+Squival138 Indeed. Probably my favorite run from AGDQ2016 mostly because of the commentary.

This is by far the most enjoyable run I've watched.
It's fascinating watching the fast movement required to quickly get to bonus barrels. It's even better in x2 speed.
This is in the top 5 GDQ runs of all time
Agreed.
Top 3 for me
Agree 100%
@@Jungbeck agree 102%
Couch crew was super fun and engaging, as was Void. Fantastic run!
1:00:47

"I will as well"
"I won't, I'm too poor"
**gets 28**
This run is too good
I counted it, he literally had 12 frames until it switched to 27 lol
Watching him delete the 102% save game at the end hurt so much more than it should have. I didnt see it coming.
This was the game of my childhood. Played this so much. It's genius. It had all my favorite game biomes: Lava and Swamps, even a theme park and bee hives! Amazing.
Ya like swamps? May I introduce you to EVERY FROMSOFT GAME RELEASED AFTER DARK SOULS?
One of the best AGDQ runs ever! Great job
Own all three Donkey Kong Country games on SNES. Donkey Kong Country 2 will always be my favorite. I just wish my SNES was still working, it lasted so many years.
I recently downloaded all 3 DKC games on my 3DS. Best alternative so you can play them on the go!
Can't get enough of this video and the dkc relay. Hoping for a 103% dkc3 next time. Keep up the fantastic work
glad you enjoyed :)
106%***
One of the best games EVER.

Lols, the legend of ZSNES and Klobber Karnage barrel. I love the shoutout for that one.
This game marked my childhood. Could watch this all day long. Thank you for this amazing feeling
"I'd swipe you right"
Best compliment

This is the standard to which all other AGDQs should emulate. Awesome runner, insightful commentary, great game. 10/10. Bravo gentlemen. Bravo.

It's supposed to be a comment. Not an essay.
Good job tho
Greatest speed run ever ....best couch favorite game...well played run an one with the crowd ...2021
shoutouts to shoutouts
if i didnt think i would die i would totally create a drinking game for the word shoutouts
AGDQ is fucking awesome,never spent money in a batter way.
I also like batter. It's fun to lick off the beaters.
Feldschlacht VI baaters* ;)
V0oid gets crazy respect from me, every time someone put up a donation wager he earned that shit no problem, you could really tell he was trying.
Well, almost. Flawless run is kinda hard to nab, especially under pressure.
He definitely had no idea I was going to challenge him to do that either.
Damn the music in this game is amazing. I really need to dig up my copy and play it again I guess that means digging up an older TV as well...
some amazing music sometimes I listen to it it's on youtube. Amazing game too with Super Mario World my two fav platformers.
Yea a tube TV is definitely the best way to enjoy it, but the input lag on most HD tv's shouldn't effect gameplay TOO much, as there aren't a ton of 1-frame trick in DKC2
Carl Bernroth That’s nonsense, you have a tv-out for the snes.
There are converters to HDMI so you don't need an older TV.

My brother and I began building a Jujutsu Kaisen jigsaw puzzle when we started watching this video.
We finished the puzzle like a minute after the run ended :)
Great run of a great game for a great cause.
Almost 2 years later and I still watch this. Can't wait to see you run at AGDQ 2018 V0oid.
Amazing, all the bonuses, DK coins, lost world, too fast to believe, excellent video.
V0oid is an amazing speedrunner of this game. Also check out Antilles58 as well.
thanks, Miyu-chan! ;)
MiyuChan you mean the most elitest assholes
Most chill speedrun ever
Imo, the best AGDQ run ever.
One of the best runs ever
Wow,so much memories came over me :D Pretty good player, wish I had 50% of his skills but I still love the game. Nice vids,guys!!
5:05
You absolute legend
I remember I randomly found V0oid on twitch while browsing the “retro” section like a week before this GDQ practicing this run. I was so happy seeing him a few days later running this
1:35:30 That hysterical laughter is exactly how I felt seeing that glitch for the first time
still the best game from my childhood. Re Hot Ride was an obstacle I faced for a long time, it was that much out of the box for me back then.
It’s awesome how a group of people come to watch donkey Kong country haha
12:10 Shoutouts to John Petrucci
One of my all-time favorite games! Yes!
this game hits me in the feels, my childhood
What a great run. Gosh! This is my 2021 highlight.
I remember that DK coin in world 2 in that bonus. As a kid it was the hardest thing ever for me to find. You just never think of it being in a bonus. But getting 102 percent as a kid was the best feeling ever.
100% is the highest percent 102% doesn't work
Im done I'm not sure what you mean by this since 102% is the max you can achieve in DKC2?
1:27:13 “Does it remind you of your childhood?” That delivery could be used for any occasion 😂
23:33 LOL I discovered that trick as a kid
If only I knew speedrun was a thing back then
Yeah I used to do that too. I probably wasn't as confident though.
One of the all time GDQ great runs
Take a shot every time someone says "shout out..."
shout out to my destroyed liver!
rip
Let me get my gatling gun...
Wait, wrong type of shot. ;3
The way they handled the bramble level is crazy, always blows my mind 😮
i'm loving how we can hear the echoing laugh of BlueGlass from another room going on there several times--proof of how loud and recognized his voice and laughter have become. :)
this was fantastic to see so well done though. really loved this game growing up, so seeing it busted out so amazingly is just plain awesome. :)
That completion of bramble scramble was absolutely insane 😮😮😮
watching this through for the 6th time! I dont run but love these games! Would love to see more GDQ of this!
he saved a lot of time daring of his tricks..good one.
Wow this is the first time i watch a whole run. AMAZING
Fun run, fun game, and fun guys. "Wanna try the jump again?" Made me laugh.
After 24 years I have finally found out how to really play this game
Love this game, love this run! :D
Wow, what a great run and commentary.
I liked this game too much, even in February 2020
The simultaneous vine clip was one of the most epic things I have ever seen. Like they were perfectly in sync most of that level
Fuck off Verlis, don't you have drama to make?
Daaaamn even on this random video I see people cursing you out! And whatchu know bout DKC2, fooooo???
Im assuming you are okay with cheating?
Government is cheaing us all . Never escape
12:11 Man knows his music! Awesome run.
Very great stream. Loved the commentary.
Practicing this speedrun must be so relaxing with music like stickerbrush symphony, forest interlude, etc... XD
Tupac is always haunting diddy and Dixie kong, spittin dope lyrics behind them on the tracks. "Picture me rollin"
I love how 1-1 was done at 1:11 on the timer.
Their shoutouts are hilarious 😂😂
Glad to see 102% for once.
First two worlds being nothing but teleport barrel skips is zzzzzzzz.
Amazing run!
Gangplank galleon is my favorite song but this is my favorite soundtrack.
1:03:06 Holy god bless speed runs guys
Said favorite guitiarist is John Pertrucci. 10/10
Good run on a great game, gotta love the music
this soundtrack of this game is so fk insane i rly enjoeyd it as a kid
I WAS SWEATING really nice bro
I’m still waiting for a Tropical Freeze 100% run. That would be fun to watch.
There needs to be a 100% run of any DKC other than DKC2, seeing as DKC2 is the only one that has gotten a 100% run.
Well DKC3 finally got a 100% run, but that still leaves 3 other games.
fucking amazing run for 102
This is very fun to watch
i like how they said the WR "belongs" in North America, but they use the Japanese version to speed run lol
"If dragon did it then you have to do it" I find that obnoxious him telling the speedrunner that since dragon did this the runner has to do it just speed run the way you feel best !!! XD
It’s hilarious when void and that guy with the green shirt talk shit to each other subtly 😂
notice that Cranky has the head of Ri-CROC-do Milos.
Parrotchute Panic was SICK
Shoutouts to everyone!
sad this game isnt in SNES classic
It is now
this want the first run i found of this game i looked it up and found a different one from another channel but it was so boring i was falling asleep then i come here and i'm wide awake now surprise surprise lol
Amazing skills, really impressive. Just completed this game few hours ago, but I would never be able to memorize every single detail, like V0oid did.
And I only got 29 DK Coins in total and only 3 from 4 levels of Klubba, about 10-11 Kremcoins are missing. His control of the characters is crazy..
How would anyone ever think to jump into a random wall, while climbing up a rope? What were the producers even thinking? Lmao.. @1:22:35
Or @1:24:57, who would ever find this without the internet?
And the glitch with the barrel in the end, WTF??
Guy on couch: so what we're gonna do here...
Guy in crowd: huhuhuhuhuhuuh
This was my favorite game of all-time until a few years ago when I first played Metal Gear Solid 3. It's still a toss up between the two 🤷♂️
15:56
"Let's make 103% happen at the next GDQ."
If only man...if only......
Unfortunately people don't care about DKC3 enough for that to happen.
Well friend, I have some news for you...
I looked for that dk coin like forever in the first lost levels!!!!
this game absolutely destroyed me as a kid. so hard!!
Best game ever!
my DKC gamer fan 🤩 real gamer !
"I have $100 from ALiteralBaby" @ 1:45:20
lol. the best donation ever.
Zer(o) and Void both running DKC2 and playing Smash 4 professionally, huh? XD
I just noticed that the Bonus Barrel at 51:29 uses a plain Barrel Cannon sprite, much like the Warp Barrels.
This game is very good.
this is insane
