Can we all agree that DK64 is better than Tooie

dk64 is good as gently caress, on a game level and a speedrun level, so yes

here come the planes
i'd take tooie over dk64 but that almost definitely is because the former was the first rare 3d platformer I played and the latter was the last

Tooie is emptier than DK64, but you also don't have to go over each area five times or do repetitive minigames before you can get your collectables, so it's a better game. And also Tooie didn't stonewall me with an arcade game as a kid for eight months before I could fight the final boss. <:mad:>

DK64 is a better speedrun, though.

it has a lot of collectibles but there's nothing requiring that someone has to collect 100% of it

Dk64 is fun until youve been grinding for hours and then realize you're only like 15% of the way through the game

Banjo 1 you can 100% in like 7 hours going slow. Much more manageable

Tooie is better because it is the point where Rare said "gently caress it!" and created a fully labeled warp menu after iterating on BK's awful matching color pots and DK64's still not great matching number pads.

DK64 is probably the best speedgame because the glitching bullshit is incredible. Using grenades to cause slowdown but move faster since the game compensates :allears:

I remember getting Banjo Tooie and being disgusted by the fact that the honeycombs in your healthbar were arranged in a straight line instead of the zig-zag from the original game, it was such a turn-off that I refused to play the game.

Bottles got super murdered, and then his bootcamp brother taught you all your new skills, and sometimes when he was done teaching you he would dive back into his hole but the cover would close so he'd bonk his head on the lid instead of gracefully diving straight back down.

Banjo-Tooie lined up the health bar, made you turn in hollow honeycombs to an NPC before they did anything, and Banjo doesn't even dance when he gets a Jiggy. Is there no end to this game's sins?!

...And other things that bothered about the game as a kid. Unless they were catering to speedrunners, which I doubt, there was no reason to cut out the dance. :(

i actually find it super boring if an any% speedrun is only like 5 minutes because someone can clip right into the final boss fight immediately, but your mileage may vary on that

I think a run like that may be only be good viewing once for the "woah drat" factor and not much else after that.

And that's fine, not every run has to be super rewatchable.

Super fast speedruns like this are what got me into watching speedruns in the first place. I don't have time to watch a 3+ hour video but I am super interested in spending hours reading the technicalities behind a 5 minute TAS.
