Loco Roco speedrun: World 1 - Level 1 in a minute

Unless you're a completist who just needs to find all of the berries, Pickories, house parts, and Mui Muis, LocoRoco isn't all that hard to finish. All you've got to do is breeze through the levels (sometimes literally ride the winds). If you're up for a challenge though - and aren't too patient to be a completist - you can opt for speedruns. That's when you try to finish a level or the entire game as fast you can. Remember the recent Twilight Princess speedrun? Jiano finished the game in under 6 hours.

Now, speedruns aren't altogether new. I remember trying to do a number on Super Metroid a few years back - which failed miserably, mind you. So, via PSPimages, we fished out a YouTube video of kingreuben14 doing a Wally West through World 1 - Level 1 of LocoRoco. He finished it in 59 seconds (0:59:77, to be specific). Lookie, lookie:

So, you up for the challenge? Think you can beat this guy's record? We're betting our very own Mabie A. is up to the challenge.

Hooray! My video got onto the front page of PSP Updates!:)

To check out my other videos, go to http://youtube.com/profile_videos?user=kingreuben14

I already have World 1-2 up, and will continue to make tham for all to enjoy.

# Challenge! =D — Guest 2007-06-10 12:52

I'm up for the challenge, just gimme a couple of days or so

# whatever — Guest 2007-06-10 12:56

thats easy. he skipped all the flowers. a real challenge would be collecting all 20 and see who's the fastest

# who cares — Guest 2007-06-10 13:25

do a difficult level fast. ive done that level in 57 second. (i didnt bother to reattach my loco roco. so it saved some time.)

# heh — Guest 2007-06-10 13:43

like GW2 said, why bother reattaching if your only objective is speed.

usually in speed runs u gotta do some tricky stuff that you otherwise normally wouldn't do... in this video, none of that, it's just knowing when to hit R and when to jump

then again, it's not like this level leaves much room for creativity

# diss — Guest 2007-06-10 14:06

game is hella wack beezies

# 56.42 secs — Guest 2007-06-10 14:56

56.42 seconds lol beat that!!!!

(only 2 loco remaind though, lol)

# ... — Guest 2007-06-10 16:44

that music pisses me off sooooo much

# ehh... — Guest 2007-06-10 18:42

Why is this on the frontpage?

Not to be rude or anything, but thats just playing lvl 1 and skipping all the items....

Not impressed

# huw? — Guest 2007-06-10 21:42

how did he record that??

screencap plugin doesnt support dound

# well... — Guest 2007-06-10 22:44

i think he must have that psp2tv adaptor.

to those who say they have beat his score - prove it. my best was 1.05, i dont need to prove that because i suck at it but saying haha beat that when you provide no proof is like saying ive walked on water but i cant show ya.

# call that a speed run? — Guest 2007-06-10 23:14

as others have said, a true speed run would be collecting all the follows, NOT just running to the end like a numpty.

QJ looks like they will post anything on the front-page now... jeese standards are slipping.

# I would prefer — Guest 2007-06-11 02:58

I would prefer it if the video would have showed someone making a run picking up ALL items (including hidden) and doing that quickly.

On most levels, completing the level fast isn't hard, but finding all items can be tricky.

# ... — Guest 2007-06-11 03:36

i think it is funny that people care about this.

king reuben, lol

# and... — Guest 2007-06-11 12:36

what ARE the standards again?

# i was just about to ask that. — Guest 2007-06-11 12:38

And anger, i agree with you 100%
