PS1 disk played on a PS2 using Fast Disk Speed
Timing starts when I first control Gex and timing ends when the "Congratulations!" screen appears after the blackout of the final boss. Final time is around 2:13:50.76. RTA timing is around 2:13:58.52.
What a run! :D End goal was sub 2:15. Smashed it with sub 2:14. I am extremely happy with this time. The journey is finally over with this category after years and years of playing this on and off. I may return in the future if something major happens or if someone beats this time. But for now, I would like to focus on other categories.
Overall, this run is something to be proud of considering how inconsistent and punishing this category is. Gameplay wise, I played better then usual throughout the whole run but I wasted a bunch of time on TV cancels in Mythology Network and FairyTales TV. It's a shame that I wasted nearly 30 seconds on the 2nd TV cancel in FairyTales TV on this run, otherwise I would have been really satisfied with this run. I could probably get a 2:12 if I really grind this category out but TV cancels is what makes this category really brutal and not fun once you have to rely on them to PB again. For that reason, Holy Moses is a horrible level due to how inconsistent the camel can be and the frame perfect TV cancel at the end that is 40 minutes into a run.

I have a history of 40 total PBs in this category throughout the years so I made this pastebin list just for fun. Started from November 25th, 2011 to February 1st, 2018.

I have created a guide for this category. It doesn’t include everything and is outdated but it does include things that you should know. It consists of 11 videos playing through all the main levels and a final video. New runners would be awesome. A great goal to have when first starting out is sub 3 hours.

This was fun to watch. I love the precision and timing. Its so cool how you know exactly what to do and when.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the comment. It took a lot of nerves and practice to perfect this run.
One of my favourite old games. Love it. Congrats for the time!
Thanks :)
Slappy Valley was my favorite Hub World in this game. it was so beautifully designed and just the setting was so great

Dude holy shit i had no idea there was more than one Gex game!
Wow! Amazing time. Congrats
Thanks a lot! :D
The Tut TV strats caught me off guard, simply because I did not expect you to use the camel to cancel the TV twice, and therefore finish the level in a single pass, which is something that cannot be done normally in Gex 2 and 3 (with one...well, three exceptions in Gex 2).
Hey ho Reece! I hope we will hear in the future more about your Speedruns :) i like them and i hope you keep up this amazing work! greatings :)
Greetings and thanks for this nice comment. I plan to do more speedruns in the future :D
The mythology level is such an evil piece of shit, and to this day when I play it I always have a fit at least once no matter how hard I try to stay calm.
Hey it's the music on the gex ps1 disc
2:15:51 Is me after seeing the picture at 2:15:45.
Another awesome work, congrats Reece! Any sub's 2:10 planned? :P
Thanks! :) I'm not planning to sub the 2:10 since it requires a nearly perfect run with more routing, lol.
Such a good game, the reviews were overly harsh when it came out
Why didn't you collect any of the Gex's lost tapes? Are they necessary to 100%?
They are not required for 100%. For Gex 2 100% that has a built-in percent counter, you can get 100% without collecting them, so same applies for this game.
You missed the gold coin on the bonus stage in The Pole. if you're suppose to collect all the collectables than you missed one
I believe what you are talking about is a clock collectable. The clock collectables in these stages don’t count towards the percent value since they only add more time to the timer in Bonus Stages.
@@Reece65536 you right. my bad, haven't played this game in forever
@james Someone Only took him 8 months to find out xD
1:14:17 why did you do that?
I did that to collect the first remote of that level without exiting the level. It is a kind of TV cancelling called "Slide TV Cancel". It got found pretty recently.
