Of course Exciting Mode™ goes exactly as planned, meaning nothing went as planned at all. Tragic loop 2 surprise weapon switch to scythe replacing tri-blade from a chest that normally has armor. Stage 5 boss destroying gold armor shield while it's still in it's death explosion, even after PJ activates the invincibility glitch for the rest of the stage. Imp in stage 3 getting so mad at plan bee it destroys the bronze armor, among several other things. Also forgot the stage 7 2nd boss suddenly having an instant damaging hitbox it never has.

Edit: If you've been too rapt watching romscout's spooktacular or otherwise missed it, today's installment of the Sunday Sequence Break stream covered a couple unreleased in America NES games: Bio-Force Ape with Garrison, and SRKFunkDoc covering Holy Diver (Or "*** Diver" as it's been referred to in stream thanks to the channel's custom censor that's too funny to change).

Apparently there's a Super Mario Sunshine "do these tasks" thing, kind of like the SM64 one just mentioned...but for TASing? Kirkq shared this excellent entry with me, and I needed to share it with you:

You do kill the King Dodongo boss by throwing bombs into his mouth, but you can kill the Baby Dondongos seen here with like one sword swipe. I don't think anybody would have thought to waste precious bombs on such minor enemies, especially since if I remember correctly the first time you encounter the Baby Dodongos you haven't gotten the bomb bag yet.

YAAAAAAAY!

According to the author's notes the optimal layout for item positioning is the very first one which is based on how many frames until the button is pressed on the title screen, so you can just hold the button when you turn the game on and get it every time.

I hope this shows up for AGDQ now.

Well, according to Cosmo from a video earlier

"He got banned from my chat and had a really bad week, so he did it. And he payed a website like 10$ a month to have it done automatically"

Or something like that.

I can't help but find it hilarious that somebody in the chat was arguing about health care and how not everybody deserves it and if you don't like America's health care system you should leave the country during a charity marathon that only exists because of America's health care system.

the next big speedrun game is Booty Hunt it's an indie platformer with a few pretty inventive glitches and gameplay elements. Current any% record is 2:36 done by the creator himself (Lil'Mini) but more and more people are picking it up and optimizing it. Look out for it in the future

Coming up next after Portal 2 is coolkid with Half-Life 1 SS no scripts Hard Mode, which he has the WR in. If you haven't seen him play it, get there, it's for sure my favorite run during this marathon.

edit: okay, they're switching F-Zero and Half-life because of HL issues, hopefully that gets sorted out.

Right now they're squeezing in Mario Tennis since Half-Life wouldn't stream properly. 0xwas is amazing at everything he touches so it should be a fun watch.

Also my Doom 64 blind race with iateyourpie ended in me getting a 5:47, and just 2 days later I just got a 1:22:16. Game's pretty fun, I might consider submitting a run after some more optimization!
