      The next game you speedrun should be the spongebob squarepants movie game or battle for bikini bottom.

      Hello fresh isn’t that great. Some of the portion sizes are small and you still need to go to the shops for milk and other food items for breakfast and lunch. I don’t rate it at all.

      Best speedrun is about a bald fat man driving his car also who wants Donuts at the quick e Mart. Homer: "we have to drive why must everything be so hard!" 😂

      Pfft have you seen the crap they actually ship? Wilted soft half-dead vegetables that look like they fell off the truck at some point, and the meat is always reformed processed paste.

    I cannot emphasize how well this game makes repeat zones feel so aesthetically different. Not alot of current games even come close.

    • @SamUHells
      @SamUHells 2 года назад +86

      That’s so true, it always felt a little different when we switched back to homer or Bart. More areas unlocked as you returned to those characters which kept the game very fresh as a kid.

      It's amazing what alternate lighting and slightly moving assets around can do for a level. Homer 1, Marge 1, and Homer 2 all feel so distinct imo

    I've caught a couple of Liquid's streams. Love how technical and broken this run can get.

    BRUH
    The unfinished highway shortcut explains everything.
    When I played as a kid I couldn't complete the timed DMV mission, because I never used the unfinished parts of the road, I had to download the trainer to freeze the time.

  • @Laggu

  • @grgfrg7

    I must've run thorugh this game at least 50 times as a kid and had purely by accident figured out a lot of these strats already. What a nosalgia trip

  • @michaelboyle7281
    @michaelboyle7281 9 месяцев назад +3

    42:35 I remember years and years ago watching a 100% run where you had to grind those coins for like 30 minutes straight to get money for the rest of the run. It was the only speedrun I could find on youtube too, crazy to see how many runs there are now, even the 100% category which is hours faster than the one I saw years ago. I can also confirm that at 73rd place, you still have the fastest "69 fps run" lol

    If you want to see how the game could look remastered. There's a creator called reubs on RUclips who has been remaking it, sadly for copyright reasons he can't release it. But it looks insane

    @MrFusion Год назад +2

    Did my first run yesterday and got a 1:54:35. I've played for years and finally decided to see if I could get a good time. Didn't practice any of the strats and choked most of them, but I'm content with having a sub 2 hour run. I'll probably give it another crack, but I don't know how runners can play the same segments over and over, requires a lot of dedication.

    I picked up this game for my GameCube. Kinda collecting old games from my childhood and I gotta say. Even collecting everything for the first stage of the game alone took forever. I could not imagine attempting to speed run that. Props 👏

  • @Waffles_Syrup
    @Waffles_Syrup 2 года назад +5

    7:57 you don't actually get more coins from your car blowing up, you actually lose your coins like sonic and have to pick them back up. I know because I tried farming for way too long as a kid before I noticed. (unless you are talking about something else?)

    I wonder if the unknown substance bit in the cola kind of reminds me of the opening story of the Sarah Jane Adventures pilot story where aliens have taken on human form and slipped some alien stuff into the energy drink (while trying to bypass EU approval)? If so, where's the story part where the Buzz Cola factory is infiltrated and a certain person (who is really a disguised alien) pays off the FDA, thus setting up the tainted Buzz Cola part of the storyline.
    PS. I would have added a disguised alien princess, posing as a friend of the Simpsons, one of the survivors of a colony that has been destroyed by the Rigelians. To get revenge, she blends in as an older human girl, about 12-13, a bestie of the Simpsons kids and family. She is secretly revealed to witness the corruption of the Buzz Cola and takes a can or two for analysis. She somehow escapes, but she now has to blend to escape the Rigelians that destroyed her home colony, now posing as a best friend of Lisa and Bart Simpson...
