Its that time of year again where Games Done Quick puts on a week-long 24/7 speed running event for charity. The January event supports the Prevent Cancer Foundation.

The stream should start about 1.5 hours after the posting of this thread, and runs all week, until the last speedrun (a Super Metroid 4 player race) has completed.

Some of the runs I am looking forward to:

 Sunday
Astro Bot Any%
Wind Waker Any% (PAUSA )

Monday
Breath of the Wild Any% (2 player 1 controller)
Super Meat Boy Any%

Tuesday
Super Sheffy World 2: The Quest for 5 Shells (Kaizo Mario runs rule)

(Will add more later)

I just lamented how short Astro Bot was, what a fun game. Won't take long to do that one at all!

Wind Waker Any% (PAUSA )

Wind Waker runs are always fun, so I'll definitely catch that one! Also fun seeing swedes representing.

Its time for that GDQ tradition:

TomatoAnus is on stream so they refer to him as TomatoAngus

This dude is playing New Super Mario Bros. Wii with his feet.

While playing piano with his hands.

This dude is about to beat a bunch of Elden Ring bosses with a saxophone for a controller.

Including Melania. Hitless.

 

[VashTheStampede]

He dooted them real good

Crazy Taxi with a live backing band now.

Fun fact, the singer is wearing a shirt of the band that permanently ruined my hearing

Hyyyyyyyyype!

Caught up with some runs, over the last couple of days, among others the piano one and the saxophone one! Alt. controller runs are damned fun and hella impressive! Also watched the SMB64 Drum% run from last year's AGDQ, so cool.

 

[VashTheStampede]

The finale this year with the Super Metroid race was probably the best Super Metroid run I've seen...which is saying something because it's one of (if not THE) the most run games in GDQ history

 

[Nae'blis]

Haven't watched it yet, but I'm looking forward to it!

But, yeah Super Metroid has to be one of the most run games.

I’m only watching games I’m familiar with. So far I’ve seen wind waker, dick Tracy (evil game), and mmx3. I’ll watch super Metroid soon
