This was definitely one of my favorite runs of AGDQ. Stinger was really ill that morning/during this run and still powered through the run. He ended up having a ridiculously strong performance, and they PB'd! Stinger is the MVP of the marathon for me.
I love the music in this game. Specifically the boss battle music. It sort of gives a tone to the emotion you're probably feeling while fighting the boss... but I guess that sort of goes for every other song in the game too. It really is a great game. I think I'll play it again over spring break.
I remember when I was a kid I would get so scared when fighting Spiky the tiger for the first time and how awesome it was to finally fell him! Bow best weapon IMO.
Man, I must've spent twice the game's price renting this game when I was a kid. Somehow, I don't regret it. Compared to DLC-BS these days, the extra cash was worth every penny. The gameplay, the story, the characters, the writing and the music are one synchronous gesamtkunstwerk.
This game was actually one of those games that made me learn to speak English (along with all the other Snes Rpg's). Come to think of it, the translating trend in games now to native languages dumbs down kids these days :) It's originally a German word, but it's somewhat known in English as well.
I think MechaRichter needs more love for all the hard work he puts into those perlers. They're gorgeous, and he does so many of them I can't imagine the time it must take.
whaha.. yeah.. im not sure how long it took me the "first" time to play this game.. but i maxed out every spell/weapon before moving forward. Those good old times.
Thanks for uploading a marathon run of this game. My late grandma got that for my birthday, and it was one of my favorite games until it got destroyed by my dog. So when it became available on the Wii VC, I didn't hesitate to get it, and I still have it downloaded to this day.
Indeed!! I'm not much into RPG anymore, but this game is my best game ever. Everything is awesome : gameplay, story, combat / magic, music, etc. And if you have some one to play with, it doubles the fun! ^^
Yea, I still own this game. I was 8 years old when this game was released. I use to play this game with my father and my brother who was 7 years old at the time. Enjoyed it! Multiplayer Rpg's were so rare at that time!
OMG Elinee's early castle against Spikey the tiger... I remember when I was a tame innocent 7 yr old boy. Something happened while playing that I've never done before in gaming -- I threw a profanity at my TV screen. I've never been the same since. What were the DAMN developers thinking!? You put one of the hardest bosses as only the 3rd boss in the game!? My Squaresoft strategy guide was useless, because listed in the boss's weakness was "none." Meanwhile, I'm looking at all the other bosses in the guide and they ALL have weaknesses! WTF!? It's also not fair you only get two characters to fight him with as opposed to all the other bosses you have three. And keep in mind this was before the Internet. With nowhere to turn to, I cried a lot. For the longest time, I quit playing because he was too hard. Eventually I came back to it a year later with a clearer mind, a few more deaths later, and I eventually beat him. I remember laughing at how pathetically easy the rest of the game was, in comparison. To this day, I would still put Spikey the tiger as one of the top 10 toughest bosses in video gaming.
I'm french guys and, happy we share such love for this great game... among the best games ever for me, as good as the first seiken (i prefer the 1 btw). PS: nice name mv ;).
This is still an amazing run, many years later. I see the boss damage glitches and I think of one punch man. The dialogue before the fight then suddenly one hit later, he's exploding.
As I suspected, there are some *minor* glitches possible with money, items, and weapons, but the game itself is pretty air-tight. It still takes nearly three hours to beat, and there aren't any major sequence breaks. A well-made game!
damn!! That money glitch at 20:45! Well thats answered my question of how you're gonna get through the game without dying! THat much money makes it easy to get the best weapons and armour. Im am glad i didnt know about this glitch cause it would have seriously rined the enjoyment of this great game. I am completely happy to see it in a speedrun though thats no problem! but for a casual playthrough its not a good idea.
Was about to write up how I thought I knew everything about the game, and then the money glitch happens... Then I saw your comment :-D I'll need to give it a shot myself; completed the game a few times so no risk of ruining the game for myself.
Ghost81 nah, actually I remember a good strategy to keep them from multiplying is to have 2 other monsters on screen with them, thus they can't multiply.
Im with you brother, these jack asses think glitching your way through a game equals beating it which is objectively a lie. If this is beating the game then using game genie to skip to the credit counts too.
F Cole yes, youre right but that would be another categorie like cheating% ^^ However, cheating implying that you write down a cheatcode or use something like gamegenie. ofc this isnt easy to understand..^^
+Heilige Wurst i feel the same, but if you play the game as much as they do... you get bored of it... it takes a lot of time for them to find those glitches, it gives you an idea of the amount of time they spent on the game.
textera147 sure thing its a time eating process, but once someone found it, everybody else just copys it and from there on, its only a lil bit of practice... either way, its IMHO cheating ;) but i would be more impressed, if they just rushed through and optimizes they pathways etc (and of cource kill the endbosses with low-level or without damage spells (maybe supportive can be done!)
i think there are Cheat / glitched Speed run and then Legit speed run also in mario games there is tiny mario / no star speed run so in this game is in the glitched speed run
"For those who stumble across these videos, a speed run is a video of a person or persons, completing a game as fast as possible using any means possible. This can include *glitches*, *abusing in-game mechanics* and *skipping items* or even *playing events out of sequence*." In the Description of this video.
ShinyMisty eh, sounds like bullshit to me. you can get the ending to link to the past in less then 10 minutes using a glitch, does that count as beating the game? NO How bout i just give you a beat the game button. Or what if i provide some save states so you can just turn the game on, hit f4, and go strait to the credits. Woooo, just beat SoM in 2 seconds, you guys are slow as fuck.
I know that Yagamoth thinks he was talking too much, but I liked the commentary. This was a very entertaining speedrun.
This was definitely one of my favorite runs of AGDQ. Stinger was really ill that morning/during this run and still powered through the run. He ended up having a ridiculously strong performance, and they PB'd! Stinger is the MVP of the marathon for me.
He doesn't have enough followers on twitch bro, for real, his Secret Of Mana vids are class.
The best Game on SNES 😍
Yagamoth was absolutely incredible! Fantastic commentary, fantastic run :)
I love the music in this game. Specifically the boss battle music. It sort of gives a tone to the emotion you're probably feeling while fighting the boss... but I guess that sort of goes for every other song in the game too. It really is a great game. I think I'll play it again over spring break.
I remember when I was a kid I would get so scared when fighting Spiky the tiger for the first time and how awesome it was to finally fell him! Bow best weapon IMO.
I feel you on that!
Run starts at 7:12
Kyle Thanks

You're not alone. Rented the hell out of it, bought it later. It was so fun.
i got this game when i was 7, didn't get shit, because it is in english, fuck me right? . _.
Im just wondering if gesamtkunstwerk is an actual english word
Also im just to lazy to google

SoulSc0rcher yeah games "force me" to learn english
I think MechaRichter needs more love for all the hard work he puts into those perlers. They're gorgeous, and he does so many of them I can't imagine the time it must take.
Thanks! It does take some time, but it's worth it for an awesome cause!
mecharichter I spy a Shyna! Ahoy fellow Silhouette Mirage fan! :D
Two and a half hours? I've spent that in the rabbit area at the start of the game alone trying to grind so the bosses would be easy for awhile.
whaha.. yeah.. im not sure how long it took me the "first" time to play this game.. but i maxed out every spell/weapon before moving forward. Those good old times.
Good commentary.
I tought i was fast when clearing the game in 12hours
Oh, yes! I've been waiting for a speed run of this.
Oh sweet, my donation got read @ 1:22:55

If you haven't played this game and you're into retro RPGs,please play this game the story and the gameplay are amazing,loads of replayvalue as well.
Indeed!! I'm not much into RPG anymore, but this game is my best game ever. Everything is awesome : gameplay, story, combat / magic, music, etc. And if you have some one to play with, it doubles the fun! ^^
Cool I didn't know co-op RPGs were around in '93
Yea, I still own this game. I was 8 years old when this game was released. I use to play this game with my father and my brother who was 7 years old at the time. Enjoyed it!
Multiplayer Rpg's were so rare at that time!
You mean there are co-op RPG's today? Where have I been?
You could even walk diagonally, it took pokemon 20 years to figure that one out.
God, I love this game.
Miketopus wow true love

PS: nice name mv ;).
Fuckign awesome speedrun for this legendary game - You guys are game scientists!
I wanna see some anime Tiddies
Square, what a great studio!
Congratulations guys. We beat Evil Santa and saved Christmas.
I can only smile at the people in the comments watching a speedrun and then bitching about it because they have no clue what a speedrun actually is.
Last time I beat it with a friend in a single run I was 13yrs old and took us an entre night!
This is still an amazing run, many years later. I see the boss damage glitches and I think of one punch man. The dialogue before the fight then suddenly one hit later, he's exploding.
As I suspected, there are some *minor* glitches possible with money, items, and weapons, but the game itself is pretty air-tight. It still takes nearly three hours to beat, and there aren't any major sequence breaks. A well-made game!
Man, I'm so glad it wasn't possible to beat this in 18 minutes or so! ;-)
the greatest game of all time *.*
This was my favorite game as a kid. My friends and I played it to death. Seeing it be broken apart like this was very satisfying and entertaining
Somebody get this man some captions
Gettin' moneys, savin' honeys, Blat Blat, yo.
2:25:09 "What on earth are you doing, you idiot?"
It's like the game _knows_ what you are doing...
There should be an easter egg in video games for speedrunners and......oh, well, what am I kidding.
(It's like G+ connects people more than Nokia.)
Nokia these days can be best described as "used to connect people". :>
DaVince21
I have Lumia.
It's slower than TAS runs.
damn!! That money glitch at 20:45! Well thats answered my question of how you're gonna get through the game without dying! THat much money makes it easy to get the best weapons and armour.

I'll need to give it a shot myself; completed the game a few times so no risk of ruining the game for myself.
Great Run! i maked the last Level with all Bosses like 1000 Times great memories when you guys hit the shit outa the end bosses :)
What? The Translate button Isn't showing Up, Can Someone help translate What he Is Saying?
They should do a speed run, if possible, of Action 52.
Awesome speedrun!
Why is everyone so salty about glitches? If you're such a purist, put up your glitchless run!
+Gnomercy People bitch about anything and everything.
+0m3ga_R3dd The only truth next to people's stupidity being as endless as the universe.
GG , nice run .Best RPG ever .
This was a such a great game.
what kind of name is dyluck? Like a mixture of duck and luck with a y thrown in.
does the track during the second to last thanatos fight remind anyone esle of ministry?
its prob faster to get the girl right after you get captured by ogres. you have to avoid the cannon travel on way to water temple though
Is that... Rip Torn...?
awsome :D
rpg run! This should be interesting since there wont be a lot of levelling up..
damn i really didn't want to like this because I'm the 421'st like... But it had to be done.
I want a run with no spell stacking q_q
SHOW ME THAY TOOTSIE ROLL. THAT THAT THAT TOOTSIE ROLL
Indeed.
Oh so there can't be more than 3 enemies on screen at once, I never noticed. What about the multiplying slimes? Do they work differently?
Ghost81 "multiplicating"
8BitsGiven Oh shit. Multiplying* Fixed
Ghost81 nah, actually I remember a good strategy to keep them from multiplying is to have 2 other monsters on screen with them, thus they can't multiply.
ohgodmynutbladder Ha! Amazing. I remember those guys being a royal pain in the ass, especially the blue ones.
yeah they are a huge pain, the red ones too lol.
Oh man, Blueglass. dat laugh.
Awesome game, loved it to bits. Found this particular speedrun a tad boring though. Its not the type of game to speedrun.
this run made me realise that this game is very repetitive. I still love the game though!
Wonder why this one is only 360p?
UA-cam has to process the higher resolutions.It's a long video so it takes a while. 720 is up now if you reload the page.
Guess I was too fast then. Thanks for the heads up.
no flexing?
lol at all the people down below who thought they were cheating... Glitch-less runs exist for a reason. lmao
wooooot
What console mini or emulating or original
Secret Of Evermore! = Better
i see u didnt play the game u r talking about...
666 likes 👹
2nd lol
lol
... why not just use a game genie if you're going to cheese the game like this? What's the difference?
Way to remove all the fun from one of my favorite games.
Nice glitches bro. Should be called a cheat run not a speed run.
whats the point if they are cheating the whole way through
cheating isnt allowed. if you look closely on the sda logo here on yt says the same.
glitching is cheating imo
Xaeravoq thats just like, your opinion man
Im with you brother, these jack asses think glitching your way through a game equals beating it which is objectively a lie. If this is beating the game then using game genie to skip to the credit counts too.
F Cole yes, youre right but that would be another categorie like cheating% ^^
However, cheating implying that you write down a cheatcode or use something like gamegenie.
ofc this isnt easy to understand..^^
what a lame Speedrun ... always using glitches ist not worth calling speedrun in my opinion.
+Heilige Wurst i feel the same, but if you play the game as much as they do... you get bored of it... it takes a lot of time for them to find those glitches, it gives you an idea of the amount of time they spent on the game.
textera147
sure thing its a time eating process, but once someone found it, everybody else just copys it and from there on, its only a lil bit of practice...
either way, its IMHO cheating ;)
but i would be more impressed, if they just rushed through and optimizes they pathways etc (and of cource kill the endbosses with low-level or without damage spells (maybe supportive can be done!)
how doea this count? they cheated and used glitched the whole run.
i think there are Cheat / glitched Speed run and then Legit speed run
also in mario games there is tiny mario / no star speed run so in this game is in the glitched speed run

in Legend of zelda there are 100% speedrun with every item and there is Glitched speed run
F Cole
Yeah, I'm sure SDA and SRL have no clue what they're doing, good thing observant people like you are around to tell them how it's done.
