fantastic couch. I love it when a knowledgeable couch leads the talking and leaves the runner to focus on gameplay. Leads to a better overall experience
The Nintendo 64 had a few turds. When I worked at funcoland. Superman 64 was the funniest game to recommend. We all knew it was trash but watching people play it was entertaining af!😂😂😂😂
...Oh, I see what's going on with the compass. It's pointing relative to *it's* position, not Superman's. So like, it would work perfectly fine if it were in the middle of the screen.
i was here live for this, and i rewatched it, and it's still SO GOOD. the couch and runner are all fantastic, it's a hilarious run, it's just... so good
36:37 - Y'know, if this was a better game I'd probably give the devs credit for trying to handwave technical limitations as being part of the game's plot and lore like that, but alas, here we are... :P
This is the first time I've ever watched Superman 64 played through in its entirety from start to finish (albeit on Easy mode), and this is the best possible way I could have seen it. Great run from Headstrong, hilarious couch, and awesome crowd! Even the donations were amazing. (also, 37:07 is one of the funniest things I've ever seen at AGDQ, that was brilliant).
40:30 Can we get a round of applause for the sub-heroes who keep things like those shards of glass from ruining people below? What do you mean "there aren't any?" Then who does it?! ...Oh. Whoops.
great playing, and respect for figuring out all the clips and shortcuts and glitches. the flying parts has a certain old school end of middle school nostalgia with the blocky 3D polygons
The compass was on point. It pointed directly at the Superman logo. It isn't pointing relative to your characters location on the screen, it's pointing relative to its own location on the screen. If the compass points at the logo than it is in that direction relative to the position of the compass.
i was kind of annoyed with the commentary at first but i think thats because its so different from the usual banter, i ended up cry laughing through a lot of it as it went on, great work by everyone on this one, you made me enjoy superman64!
im at 35:30 which is about 29 more minutes than i ever put into this game. props headstrong! how does someone even decide they wanna be really really good at this piece of shit game???
The real achievement is not just the speed, but the fact, that someone actually finished this game. I was honestly surprised that they even cared to implement more than two levels …
Good quality entertainment, hard glitchy af game, and a solid run! Yet, all some judgemental people can concentrate on is the runner. Bet she would kick your ass at many games! Well done Headstrong!!!
Xane Myers well the reason was because it was a hidden easy mode to this game, which was kept hidden till a LPer decided to give this information about this mode out to the public, during one of his episodes of superman 64.
Can you play the Game on 100% game display ?? how much will the lag be LUL Also, i need a "Superman 64 Run with the doubled drunk winning camera any% " in 2019 Jebaited
I can't believe someone actually took the time to master this game. I played it back in the day, I handled it for like 15 minutes and returned it to Blockbuster immediately (thankfully I didn't buy it!) and swore to never play it again.
I'm am simultaneously a little disappointed but also relieved that it is a ringless run. Even though everything is shit in this game, the rings are part of what makes it legendarily bad. However, the ring stages are so repetitive and boring they are akin to a form of light mental torture, so I can understand why they didn't include it in a marathon.

That is the best case scenario for any speedrun
How is it there are not one but four experts on this bad game??
John Ktejik 5 counting ProtonJon
Because misery loves company.
It's a pretty famous bad game, to be fair.
This game sucked so hard that it's achieved longevity. Pretty impressive when you think about it

@@ElMarcoHoJ such bullshit though.. ET was great
No. Just makes you think why do people still not have a legendary Superman Video game.
People love Superman 64
I seriously thought Superman 64 was just flying through rings.
Nice
Same here😂
Honestly, I don't blame you.
😢 me too it was worse than that!😊
I thought so. I saw AVGN play “Superman 64” in both 2008 and 2019. Hopefully, this would make him revisit the game one more time.
"THIS IS THE HARDEST PART OF THE RUN, SHE HAS TO PICK UP THIS CAR"

"AYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY"
Grab RNG!
That is the hypest hype couch imaginable for the single worst game ever.
...Oh, I see what's going on with the compass. It's pointing relative to *it's* position, not Superman's. So like, it would work perfectly fine if it were in the middle of the screen.
Comment
The arrow does indeed point in the right direction (from it's perspective)
ooo that makes a lot of sense
Big brian
...but I came here for an hour of rings
I'm confused how she skipped them
@@brianshaw3903 she played on easy, and there are no rings on easy
i was here live for this, and i rewatched it, and it's still SO GOOD. the couch and runner are all fantastic, it's a hilarious run, it's just... so good
Progress:
Super Mario 64: 1996
Ocarina of Time: 1998
Superman 64: 1999
Myrmidon If you want a better N64 game released in 1999: Smash Bros.
@@KareemHillJr better than what? 20 years have gone by and no company has even came close to besting Superman..
When was the Megaman 64 port of MMLegends released? Legends ps1 NA was 98 iirc so...
There’s a lot of hilarious moments from this run but the pure, venomous salt from authorblues at 45:45 always makes me cackle with laughter.
OMG someone actually went through the hell of running SuperMan64
Even worse, someone went as far as to LEARN everything in this game, then replay it multiple times to optimise the run. True AGDQ MVP here
This the "the room" of video games. So damned bad it achieved its own legend.
about 99 ninjas that is so accurate
Oh...hi Mark
"Then there's NO TIME TO WASTE!" - Superman
Chad Serrant Even Superman wants this garbage game over.
Walls in this game just seem to be more of a suggestion than something that you actually have to abide by
This is nothing. There exist games where walls are more than just suggestions - they're elevators.
*cough* Metroid *cough*
Pretty much how walls would be for the actual Superman so at least they got that right.
52:13 that kid's a future speedrunner, trust me
Headstrong is heckin cool and wouldnt hurt a fly. I loved this run from the crowd point of view
I'm watching this in 1080p and I really don't know why.
Because you’re not watching it in 720p.
36:37 - Y'know, if this was a better game I'd probably give the devs credit for trying to handwave technical limitations as being part of the game's plot and lore like that, but alas, here we are... :P

I can't even
In the immortal words of the dark shadows: "AWK!"
Wow I bow at this greatness. I only managed 5 min before I had enough.
The one thing every terrible game has in common is that you can never have too many rings.
This game is a meme in itself! So glad it's being run!
40:30 Can we get a round of applause for the sub-heroes who keep things like those shards of glass from ruining people below? What do you mean "there aren't any?" Then who does it?!
...Oh. Whoops.
great playing, and respect for figuring out all the clips and shortcuts and glitches. the flying parts has a certain old school end of middle school nostalgia with the blocky 3D polygons
Great run, great couch. Thank you!
This is the kind of quality I've come to expect from GDQ. I love it!
In this video we can truly appreciate how stupidly unplayable is this garbage game
Awesome run! I've heard the horror stories but this really was a crazy game, as for the runner she did great!
Yes she did. Such a horrifying game.
The compass was on point. It pointed directly at the Superman logo. It isn't pointing relative to your characters location on the screen, it's pointing relative to its own location on the screen. If the compass points at the logo than it is in that direction relative to the position of the compass.
This run was awesome!! Great couch too.
Roobitz I
The runner is so charming and the couch was great all the way through
i was kind of annoyed with the commentary at first but i think thats because its so different from the usual banter, i ended up cry laughing through a lot of it as it went on, great work by everyone on this one, you made me enjoy superman64!
Zap Actionsdower
Wish I could agree with you; it grated on me increasingly as the video went on.
37:04 gets me every single time. Lmao
im at 35:30 which is about 29 more minutes than i ever put into this game. props headstrong! how does someone even decide they wanna be really really good at this piece of shit game???
Difficulty modes with rings really add an hour to a speedrun of this? That's impressive. I wonder if there's any skips for them.
There is, first you choose Easy difficulty on the main menu and then you play the game. Tadah you skipped them!
Y'know, this is something I will never get: Superman never got a decent game aside from the Lego games and the Injustice games.
I remembering hearing 3-4 years ago that a montreal studio was working on one a lot like the arkham series but...never a peep since.
This game it's so bad that it's legendary, and it's so legendary that it ends up being a terribly good game. Somehow i love this game
The real achievement is not just the speed, but the fact, that someone actually finished this game. I was honestly surprised that they even cared to implement more than two levels …
32:59 Superdab
One of the few games where you actually have to speedrun to beat it.
this and sonic 06 come to mind
quality run! good to see s64 finally make it to agdq. enjoyed the little jab at protonjon not finishing his playthrough series XD ouch
37:28 Remember while you watch this, this is the speedrun. This is OPTIMAL play for this game.
There's some actual good games which are mostly forgotten now but this game is so shitty it will be remembered forever.
37:10 Isn't this supposed to be a *speed* run? Ah, there we go.
woo WR
Good quality entertainment, hard glitchy af game, and a solid run! Yet, all some judgemental people can concentrate on is the runner. Bet she would kick your ass at many games!
Well done Headstrong!!!
Was this really world record?! if thats the case then NICE
The more awful and broken the game is the less speedrunners want to try that and this one is................Calling it broken is a compliment.
Thanks Punchi for recommending this gem lmao
I was waiting for you Superman
her smile is so cute!!!!! this was such a fun run to watch too
Headstrong looked timid during this run, it was hella cute! She did a wonderful job!
That glitch at 35:07 though. It just looks brilliant.
That game is so amazingly badly put together. Very hilarious! :D
loved this so much, and the couches commentary is fantastic
i like how this game is a joke even in the speed run community lol
What a god tier game, why aren't more superman 64s out there
Glad someone ran this beautiful game
Awww no rings
I'm glad to see the infamous rings can be skipped! Any video I watched of this game years ago implied you had to go through them.
Xane Myers well the reason was because it was a hidden easy mode to this game, which was kept hidden till a LPer decided to give this information about this mode out to the public, during one of his episodes of superman 64.
Fantastic.
Spikes commentary is funny as hell.
Isn't Darkseid pronounced "Dark Side" and not "Dark Seed"? Or do I have a misconception?
Yeah, it's supposed to be pronounced like "dark side", unless the last 30 years worth of DC animation have all said it wrong.
Hard to believe this was an actual game that you could go to the store and buy full price. Unbelievable!
Can you play the Game on 100% game display ?? how much will the lag be LUL
Also, i need a "Superman 64 Run with the doubled drunk winning camera any% " in 2019 Jebaited
FWOOOSHHHH!
Fuck, I really want that **BHWAK!** sound effect as a notification lol!
37:07 I wasn't expecting that! 🤣
was disappointed when they said there were no ring segments, but still good run nonetheless.
Me too that is a big part of the game.
There was 1 Ring segment, involving exactly 1 Ring.
I just wanted Protonjon memes from the comment sections
It's Anhem's predecessor
I can't believe someone actually took the time to master this game. I played it back in the day, I handled it for like 15 minutes and returned it to Blockbuster immediately (thankfully I didn't buy it!) and swore to never play it again.
Now they need a super drunk run of this game
I am extremely disappointed that we didn't get any rings.
This run was very funny. 😍
Superman! Faster than a speeding... camera?
It's shocking to me that people have beaten this twice in a row to discover the camera glitch...
Basically mmorpg quality missions
This game is honestly fascinating in how bad it is.
headstrong is great, i love her!
51:45 "Super" laggy.
This is now my favorite run.
Awful Games Done Quick 2018
34:38 Godlike.
45:49 - XDDDDDDDDDDDD THAT LAGGED DEATH
Where are all the rings?
you go through rings & pick up Cars!
Head strong already has the record of 26:53 idk how this is a world record ;-;
Brava! Excellent run! I could not even bear to PLAY this game for 36 minutes, let alone FINISH it. Amazing to see the rings in the end.
i wanted to see rings...
I'm am simultaneously a little disappointed but also relieved that it is a ringless run. Even though everything is shit in this game, the rings are part of what makes it legendarily bad. However, the ring stages are so repetitive and boring they are akin to a form of light mental torture, so I can understand why they didn't include it in a marathon.
I cant get over 40:28 XD
"Awesome" games done quick?, yeah right
wilson mardones awful games done quick
Yeah this was part of the awful games block.
this was in the Awful Games Done Quick segment, where they intentionally play terrible games.
Oh come on, you can't argue that this game, as well as the other games from the Awful Block, aren't fun to watch, now can't you :P ?
MrJechgo I never said they weren't fun I quite enjoy this segment of agdq
Where are the infamous rings?
How much to you have to hate yourself to learn to speed run this game?? 😆
JC Holmanation Idk I think it's the mentality of eating something that taste terrible but u keep trying to take another bite
"You wedge him in a spot where the game thinks" "HELP!"
"Awww he got stuck... Fine." I literally died
Then there's no time to waste.
I mean, I actually enjoyed the lead-up to the run... but I’m biased...
