0:02 Run Starts. 1:13 Toad finds a hat. 1:57 Clips into the ground invalidating this Rock Man 2 Warpless Run. 3:26 Coolkid admits he hates Doki Doki Literature Club. 4:29 Promised new speedruns. 7:11 He IS the HL guy. 8:02 Accidently picks Mario, but makes the best of it.. 10:26 Foreshadowing 11:01 Promises to dye his his hair "Garfield Orange" 12:06 Already Thanking People for the new "WR run" during the run? Pre-Recorded video???? 13:26 Toad becomes a monkey. 13:58 Foreshadowing 2 15:28 Realization sets in. 17:55 Close Triclyde fight. 18:58 Realization sets in 2. 20:08 Eat your veggies Wart. 20:39 End. Coolkid is satisfied. Out of my 4 some years of watching Coolkid this is probably the happiest / most emotion I even seen from him completing a run. All of his hard work and practice paid off and you can see it reflected in this run and his reaction. CONGRAGULATIONS COOLKID. You deserve this.
But on March 14th, 2021... COOLKID got on a run... and then... he made history. (cue We're Finally Landing) ...And that's where the record stands today. After this incredible feat, COOLKID announced he would be retiring from doing "all levels" runs. But it begs the question: What about his current record of 8:15 flat? Will he go for one more record, and if so, is an 8:10 possible? We will have to wait and see what COOLKID does next for SMB2... Thanks for watching.
I was there, realizing this would be the last time I see him play this category in real time. Was what I imagine watching your kid leave for college feels like. You're proud, but you're gonna miss 'em.
Whoa. Did you just knock 7 seconds off? Take a break for a while if you want to, my guy. You've shared with us a valuable demonstration of the power of training and repetition with persevering optimism. The other day, you set WR in a run with obvious flaws even we gawking noobs recognized. You stayed steady. And sharp. And then this run. Wow. CK, it's a lot like watching an elite hitter trust himself through a batting slump. You're the Tony Gwynn of speed running. Well done, sir. We admire you.
Even with the slight falter in 3-3, you had BEAUTIFUL eggsecution throughout. From 6-1 and on, your heartrate must've been going brrrrrrrrrrrrr, straight JACKED. You're an artist, the goddamn Iron Chef! 20:36, THERE IT IS!!!! Congrats my friend 👏👏👏
8:00 - The video is on SpeedDemosArchive, not GDQ's channel. But you're right, it does have more views than any video on GDQ's channel, by a margin of almost a million.
