I feel like every time Arcus beats a game from my childhood, he's slaying a dragon for all the kids that sacrificed hours, days, or weeks to impossibly difficult titles. Keep doing the Lord's work amigo!
I wish I had been in the passenger seat of that car just so I could give the finger to each and every mile of that track. I don't think I've ever made it off the first stage much less the whole game. Congratulations man.
Hey there I hope you see this, I think I know of an old secret that can save you some time. Back in like 91 there was a nintendo power fest in oakland ca. The second portion of the comp was to finish a lap of rr as quick as possible. Well I had gotten past the first wave of the comp and was waiting in line to get on stage for the semi finals. I think they were killing some time so the MC, was the guy from that old nintendo game show, announced he had a new trick from the devs know one knew about and if we did it right it could save us something like 5 seconds which was huge. I believe this trick is probably doable on every map but not sure. Anyways, I was thinking no way I'm trying it but when I got up on stage and that moment came I zoned out and somehow hit it just perfect and did the trick. The MC went nuts, crowd went wild it was pretty cool for me as a kid. Anyway to the trick, I don't know if this is known or not but from the way we found out about it I thought maybe it's still unknown. What you have to do is simply wreck into a light pole. I believe it has to be the second to last one of the level right before you hit the finish line. If the second doesn't work it could only be off by one either way. What this does is cause you to wipe out across the finish line. Then something in the coding would cause the level to end sooner than normal. It seems like for speed running this game that might be able to net you a pretty decent time decrease. Anyway love what you do keep up the great work.
Wow, my first favorite racing game. This definitely put me in a state of nostalgia. I always use to love driving the 428 Turbo than the F1 Racer. It seemed to make me feel more cooler, Lol.
Chose the best song. I knew Arc was gonna sing along to it too lol. Also, it’s infuriating that even in a speedrun, it seem you can’t get past traffic seamlessly.
Well done! I can’t remember if I played this one or not. the one I remember you drove a comfortable and a blonde sat next to you but I can’t remember the name of the game.
My cartridge was really dirty when I got it. And when I put it in the NES and powered it on, for some odd reason it put me at the end screen. I was very confused and still don't know why it occurred. After cleaning my cartridge it worked fine. Did I accidentally do this without realizing it???? hm.
@@vertise that is weird. The Rad Racer cheat is done during the games demo. While the car is racing, press B repeatedly, making the temp bar cycle through 60 times, after that press up and left at the same time, A and start, and the game is beaten.
@@chriswilson2436 Still seems like it should be a lot slower in relation to the WR, considering all the times he went off road and got decelerated by bumping into the back of other cars.

I didn't even know this game could end
U beat me to it lol i was going to say i owned this game never knew u could beat it lol
I too thought it went on forever. Especially since I could only ever beat the first stage before launching a controller across the room.
I never got past the canyon level lol
I dont think I ever got past the third level
I made it past Grand Canyon, only to have the first checkpoint of Athens kick my ass every time...
The music was written by Nobuo Uematsu of Final Fantasy fame!
Squaresoft made the game, so yea.
Does anybody remember the trick that when you crash you just keep hitting select and the time gets saved
Member in The Wizard when the power glove actually worked for this game? Lol that was a good one
California!!!
The biggest lie Hollywood ever told!!!
Time to challenge Lucas from 'The Wizard' with his Power Glove. "It's so bad..."
wiley schmitt Fucking “A” Baby.
Remember those days.
The fact that the PG worked was the best joke of the whole movie
I still hear that kid saying California lol
When your car is 8-bit and maxes out at 255 km/hr 😆
Great video! I spent hours and hours on this game. Coasted through the finish line many times to progress to the next level..
Time expired before every checkpoint in Stage 5 and crashed twice, but still made it....... Loving these speed run videos !
Best and my personal favorite runner on RUclips..u should have and will have Alot more subscribers in the future.
Nice! This was my stepbrother's game when we were kids. I liked Zelda, and he played Rad Racer and Road Rash lol
Man, this game is so unforgiving. Fantastic job.
Always awesome watching you play. Very impressive play bro!
I have never been able to get anywhere in this game . Super impressive run
🤠 aaannnd clunk!
Ok...that was satisfying. Never saw the levels past ruins of Athens. 😂

When you grow up and realize 255 km/h is “only” 150 mph.
Or you thought it was 255 mph like me lol
I didn’t know anything could get his heart to race!

God's Child 84 *328
@@buckyjr710 Right, the 328. I get those numbers mixed up. Thanks for that.
Now it's time to do it with the Power Glove! We know you can do it!
Oh gosh, those cars are programmed to kill
Excellent playthrough i can't never get past the first checkpoint on the last board bcuz of all those curves you're a real expert
On a side note, level 3: "Twenty xdy x!"
Holy cow, I was WONDERING where I'd heard that song before. Thank you. lol
Ahahaha, one of my childhood faves!
How much for a moustache ride?
Without the crashes, this would have been like 30 seconds faster if not more. Well done!!!
The first NES Game with 3D-glasses. It didn't worked. ^^
For tomorrow: Spy Hunter NES speedrun in 13:00 by Arcus
Arcus, have you ever done Bayou Billy on this channel?
Press b 64 times on the menu then u complete it faster.
Great run King Nes 🤴 Respect
Got to love those backgrounds, but it's definitely not that flat around Athens
I use to stay on this game as a kid
I love the power glove. It's so bad...
Oh helllllllllllll yes dude
Joe Joseph speedrun in 26:53
Ride 'em cowboy . . .
Well done dude
Chose the best song. I knew Arc was gonna sing along to it too lol.

Ahhh... Square's very first game.
the graphics are really good
if only chase hq was of this high quality
Rad Racer 2 my nigga. It’s on.
Hi Arcus,i like your channel,i wanna see you play Big Nose or Astyanax.Good luck aaaaand clunk.
I see we have the same taste in music
The MASTER!!! 👒
this game's hard, I finished a couple of years ago for the first time, no doubt it was one of my greatest gaming achievements lol
Does anybody ever pick the other car?
It has horrible handling
No, I always like the Ferrari and like racing against the different cars.
Well done!
I can’t remember if I played this one or not. the one I remember you drove a comfortable and a blonde sat next to you but I can’t remember the name of the game.
Outrun
carlos garcia thx
“convertible”
I had no idea you could skip the map screen
arcusHUA
Rad Racer and Section Z were the hardest games of all time!
I've never beaten Section Z. It's one of the few NES titles I didn't beat
Love em both
have you tried nes' amagon?
I've never been able to beat the first stage
Did you play this with an old NES controller?
Epic game! GG
I think me and hubby found a glitch ... I have a lot more test to make sure
Ok so those horizontal glitches are normal...
Tip for real life driving: if you are having trouble getting around a turn, just sideswipe the car next to you. That should help. 😂
Wait, you can speedrun Rad Racer?
👍👍
Good job brother ....Shit!!!!!!
Gg
I've been trying to beat this game since I was 6. To hell with ya. Hahaha. JK. That was awesome 😎😎
You can actually speedrun Rad Racer?!
That game is hard
Ahhh... That one cheat where you can beat the game without even starting it.
My cartridge was really dirty when I got it. And when I put it in the NES and powered it on, for some odd reason it put me at the end screen. I was very confused and still don't know why it occurred. After cleaning my cartridge it worked fine. Did I accidentally do this without realizing it???? hm.

Signature words
Mash mash mash
Yikes 😅
I'm trying to beat you!
People still speedrun this??
First
Lol. He doesn't do speed runs. He is just playing games lol.
I don't understand this speedrun. He keeps doing things that slow him down, yet his time is only 48 seconds slower than the WR.
dreamlandnightmare it’s 1:48 below the WR, not 0:48.
@@chriswilson2436 Still seems like it should be a lot slower in relation to the WR, considering all the times he went off road and got decelerated by bumping into the back of other cars.
I love your videos but please stop whistling it comes through very loudly.
