My friends, what's been the craziest day in your gaming adventures? In this video, we learn of perhaps the most emotional roller-coaster day in all of speedrunning, when a Diddy Kong Racing gamer was attempting to break a world record that had stood in that game for nearly ten years. Enjoy as we explore speedrunning history, examine the gaming analysis going on in this story, and enjoy a nostalgic look back at a great Nintendo video game from the 1990's, Diddy Kong Racing.
