A Video by Maximum - First released in June of 2010, Happy Wheels has gone on to become one of the most popular and influential flash games ever created. The game had speedrunning essentially built into its DNA, with its in-game replay and leaderboard system motivating countless players to play the same levels hundreds, if not thousands of times to try and squeeze out every last millisecond of improvement. However, over on the game's speedrun.com page, there is a multi-level category that has been optimized almost entirely by one speedrunner over the course of 8 years. After over 100,000 attempts and thousands of hours of playtime, Dray has produced a Happy Wheels speedrun that stands far above what anybody else has managed to accomplish in the game. This is the story of the greatest Happy Wheels speedrun that nobody knows about.

  • beautiful video! i really think theres only one thing i want to say about all of this there have been countless times where I questioned if it was worth continuing after full days of no progress the number one thing that made me keep going was knowing how good of a game this was, and knowing that if I never get THE run, there is a good chance no one else ever will All i wanted was to give the game the run it deserves and i finally made it happen no matter what goal you are tying to reach, keep going its worth it in the end :)

    • There is more insane shit in SMB1 Any% speedruns. One of the glitches requires pixel perfect and frame perfect jumps both at one. It’s a glitch wall jump and is really hard to do and luck to do while on a world record pace and if you fail, run is dead and having to do a lot of glitches before it that’s also perched button presses.

    • Repent and follow Jesus my friend! Repenting doesn't mean confessing your sins to others, but to stop doing them altogether. Belief in Messiah alone is not enough to get you into heaven - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Contemplate how the Roman empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years to accomplish the religion of the Israelites C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate though because you can start a relationship with God and have proof. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life. - Revelation 3:20 Revelation has been unfolding since Jesus died. The Popes have claimed to be equal to God and set themselves in Jesus' place (antichrist(s)). Vatican City (Which is its own nation BTW) have risen up to fulfill the role of the false prophet Regarding the man of lawlessness or antichrist, 2 Thessalonians 2:4 says “Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” The restrainer that the Apostle Paul was referring to in 2 Thessalonians was the Western Roman Emperor, who held back the Popes from taking power. Once the last Western Roman Emperor was removed from power in 476 AD, the Pope was given civil and ecclesiastic authority over Rome; healing the deadly head wound of the beast in Revelation 13, as they took the Emperors title of Pontifex Maximus, leader of the church and state. “We may according to the fullness of our power, dispose of the law and dispense above the law. Those whom the Pope of Rome doth separate, it is not a man that separates them but God. For the Pope holdeth place on earth, not simply of a man but of the true God.” (Source: “Decretals of Gregory IX,” Book 1, chapter 3.) Pope Pius V blasphemed, “The Pope and God are the same, so he has all power in Heaven and earth.” (Source: Pope Pius V, quoted in Barclay, Cities Petrus Bertanous Chapter XXVII: 218.) Pope Leo XIII declared, “We hold upon this earth the place of God Almighty.” (Source: Pope Leo XIII Encyclical Letter, June 20, 1894) The antichrist sea beast of Revelation points to the office of the papacy, the Popes of Rome, who controlled the Roman beast for 1,260 years, from 538-1798 AD. Daniel 7:25 says “And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.” The Popes of Rome spoke against Elohim and proclaimed to be God. They reigned for 1,260 years, from 538-1798 AD. during which they caused tens of millions of saints to be killed. The Pope’s title is Vicar of Christ, which in Latin is ‘Vicarius Filii Dei’, and equates numerically to the number 666

  • Honestly, I can't comprehend the determination of Dray, speedrunning a game this much even when you're beating yourself all alone. I understand the moral of the story, but even tho speedrunning is better as an accomplishment for yourself than for fame, personally, speedrunning a game, discovering strats, and beating my own time with no one to compete with feels depressing as heck. Maybe it's because he kept competing with other speedrunners in other categories, or maybe not I don't know, but as a speedrunner on a really small speedrun community, it almost feels impossible to think that someone speedrunned a category mostly by himself for literal years. It truly is a great achievement that Dray accomplished. Thank you a lot for relating it Max!

    • This world is rapidly passing away and I hope that you repent and take time to change before all out disaster occurs! Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36) if you believed in Messiah you would be following His commands as best as you could. If you are not a follower of Messiah I would highly recommend becoming one. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life - Revelation 3:20. Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13 over the course of 1260+ years. Revelation 17 confirms that the beast is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God. Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc. Have a blessed day!
