Strange how GDQ doesn't mention that this is the No-OOB (inbounds only) category anywhere in the title or decription. It immediately explains why this run is quite a bit slower than the non-restricted ones. This catergory is quite cool and rare to see good runs in, as the famed overall WR uses OOB obviously. I mean If I were to search for a "NO OOB Metroid Prime Speedrun", this is a video I'd like to pop up.
Edzan failing to one-cycle the OP is sad, yes. But I think the outcome was decided the moment Edzan got trolled by a flying pirate in Phendrana's Edge. Oof. Amazing race regardless! Felt right at home watching it!
GDQ staff probably did that because this is GC NTSC 0-00 version played on the Wii (and yes, the platform this version came out on *initially* should've been listed instead, IMO). It's not mentioned in this particular run, but runners do that to avoid two specific crashes that *can* happen when you play any version that isn't GC PAL or GC NTSC 0-02 on the GameCube.
Awesome Games Done Quick 2025 is live right now! www.twitch.tv/gamesdonequick/
So glad another Prime run made its way to GDQ! Maybe in 2026 we'll see Prime 4 being ran!
Yep will be there right alongside Silksong
You do know that prime 4 is coming out this year right? It even has a gameplay trailer.@@Dr.SamCarterPhD
@@Dr.SamCarterPhDPrime 4 was actually announced for 2025 lol
My heart hurt when Edzan didn’t get the OP one cycle. It would’ve been phenomenal to see them neck and neck til the very end. Great race though!

I’m always up for more Metroid Prime!
starting off 2025 with a metroid prime run is such a prime way to start off the year…. my fault won’t happen again
Amazing, great job both players

My favorite game console that was out in 2002 is the wii

I notice the system listed is Wii, but this is the gamecube version because it doesn’t have the pointer controls. Whoops.

I assume it's the GameCube disk on the Wii hardware.
