Not gonna lie, this was probably my first video game ever. I remember how difficult it was playing it as a child, pretty sure ZIC3 beat the entire game in the time it took me to beat a single enemy!
this game was good as hell actually. i had it on both playstation and PC. i actually could beat the whole thing in a single morning and did so frequently, i remember about halfway through my dad would always serve me pancakes to eat. what a cool game to see get a speed run at GDQ
OH YEAH I had this game for PlayStation in the 90s and I did try and 100% it back then. Pretty sure Atta Flight was the only level I couldn't do it on.
Oh man I have so many memories of playing this game with my mom when I was 4 years old. I think at some point I actually beat level 4, but got stuck on level 5. Then when I was 10 or 11 I came back to the game, and I definitely remember getting to level 8, but I don't know if I ever got further than that. I might have, but I also might not have.
Awesome run and funny commentary bro. I remember playing this as a kid and I got destroyed. Had no idea there was a speedrunning community for it, very cool. Thanks for bringing my childhood back
Think I've still got this game tucked away in a shoebox somewhere. I remember I eventually stopped playing it as a kid because I couldn't get past the city level and decided it wasn't worth wasting my time anymore.
flik jump is 22 mm jump+mushroom bounce is 42 mm (1 inch bounce from 2/3 inch tall mushroom) Flik is 19mm tall to top of head and bend in antenna is another 1/8 inch of antenna scape
I had the N64 version of this as a 12-year-old, and I played it a lot. Of course, back then we didn't actually own a Controller Pak so any time we wanted to play it we'd either have to leave the N64 on for a while or just start from scratch. It was pretty satisfying when I beat Hopper for the first time. I think my little brother eventually did a marathon 100% run in one sitting and it took him a while to do it. Great game and the soundtrack absolutely slaps!
As a kid, I actually made it to the Molt fight but couldn't beat him because they kept giving me useless berries and I didn't know what level I needed to take him out. This game is hard for no reason.
Dang so that's how you beat the last level. I remember 100%ing everything except the last level, which I couldn't even beat. I can't quite remember but I guess I was like your friend and just didn't realize I needed to keep hitting him.
Gods, I got this game for the N64 and had no save pack. So everytime I wanted to play, I had to start from the beginning. I mostly made it to the dandilion fly level and failed it, farthest I made was up to City Entrance
I know I played a ton of this game as a kid but I cannot remember how far I actually got. Back as a little kid I didnt really care or know for progression so I probably just played the first level or 2 over and over.
The only familiarity I have with this game is that it was one of the games you could play in the waiting room at my dentist's office as a kid. It's honestly a lot more ambitious seeming than I expected, huh. (OH YEAH)
