Frost Fatales 2025

Starts on 3/9/2025

A very hard, very flashy, and very progressive hack made by the fantastic Margot. This game features 6 levels total, but they are brutally difficult and incredibly beautiful.

A very fast paced and fun hack. This was made by RandomType192 and is very fun to play and to watch as it is so fast paced. Very quick run but still worth a watch!

Moira McKinnon is running away from home to visit her uncle Hamish. She travels through the Scottish highlands, witnessing nature in all its glory and a little bit of magic. She might just have a bit of magic in her, too.

Stardew Valley is a delightful farming simulator which continues to capture the hearts and souls of the indie gaming sphere. With the recent 1.6 patch, enthusiasm for the game is at an all time high. The game is a low-floor, high ceiling skill expression game that makes it a super fun speedgame.

The 4th (or 5th, depending how you count) game in Frictional's 'Amnesia' series, arguably the scariest horror game franchise of all time, is broken and busted as heck. Trapped in a bunker in the first World War, you must figure out how to escape the Bunker, while avoiding a horrifying monster who is stalking you.

Cryostasis is the coldest game here. I promise. The whole idea of the game is to not freeze to death, so if accepted, it would be the coldest game at Frost Fatales... Anyways, Cryostasis is a First Person Horror game by a Ukrainian Dev Team about a Nuclear Icebreaker Ship that was found in the Arctic by you, the player, who is exploring the ship. You find that you are not only one aboard however, as some of the crew are still around, as frozen zombies. But you also have a unique power, the power to go back into the past of people's lives and fix the mistake they made that led to their death.

What if Resident Evil, but Isometric and made in the art-style of Fisher Price Kids Toys? That's what Heaven Dust is bold enough to ask. This is a classic style Survival Horror game that is easy on the eyes and very approachable. It's also deceivingly difficult, but nevertheless very fun to play.

Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion is the 3rd game in the once popular FPS Franchise 'Turok,' though it is also one of the lesser known ones. Indigenous Main Characters, Dinosaurs, Dinosaur Mutants with Guns, Extraterrestrials, Extraterrestrials that turn Cars into Hungry Cars. I mean, come on. That's what good videogames are made of right there.

GRIS is an indie puzzle-platformer developed by Nomada Studios. It's a gorgeous and unique experience that also has a lot of neat micro-optimizations that make it an interesting but also consistent and accessible speedrun. I also learned it because it was FF Game of the Month!

A spiritual successor to the infamous Zelda CDi games...but this time actually a good game! Arzette features a very similar hand drawn art style with...eccentric cutscenes, but it is also a tight 2D platformer dripping with charm and wearing its influences proudly on its sleeve.

A charming low-poly survival horror game set in an abandoned theme park! The hero, Mara, will have to solve numerous puzzles and avoid mutated enemies as she searches for answers, while utilizing a limited amount of resources to survive the night. While the game has some obvious dark subject matter, it also features numerous moments of humorous levity.

Kraino is a cool skeleton with a cool hat and he's on an adventure to defeat the nefarious Dr. Batcula! Kraino: Origins is a fast and frenetic 2D platformer that takes a lot from games like Castlevania and Shovel Knight. Featuring gorgeous pixel art aesthetics and a thumping soundtrack, Kraino: Origins is a fun romp dripping with personality and classic Halloween aesthetics.

Archipelago is a piece of software that allows for completely different games to be randomized together, spreading items from a shared item pool across the games and using a back end server to determine what items are being sent. Synchronous means we are playing all at the same time, with the goal being that all four games are completed. Behind the scenes, hints are being sent to the runners indicating where key items can be found, forcing the runners to make on the fly routing decisions with the common goal of helping everyone finish as fast as possible.

This is the first Assassin's Creed game to be set in the 1700s and is the final game of the Desmond saga for the classic Assassin's Creed series. This run showcases the first 3 sequences of the game where we play as Haytham Kenway before transitioning to Connor who is the real main protagonist of the game. This is being played on the Remastered version of the game which came out in 2019 after the original came out in 2012 and is the only Assassin's Creed remaster that actually improves gameplay mechanics of the game and makes it play and run better.

This is the poker roguelite deckbuilder indie game that won many hearts during the year of 2024. The basic premise is to use poker hands to score points needed to pass a blind, of which there are three to a singular ante and no more than 8 to a singular game. A very RNG heavy game, players are required to think on their toes to get through the varying conditions they'll get thrown into.

A tie-in for the movie of the same name, we follow Mike and Sulley as they train to become scarers at the titular Monsters, Inc. facility at Scare Island. Much like they were facing entry level scaring, runners here have entry level speedrun tech to understand the core aspects of this hobby - from Primordial Ooze pathing, to fast movement tech with Mike, to places where Sulley can clip through the geometry, to damage abuse, to places where a second double jump could get abused, and so on.

The follow-up to the original Super Mario Land and the debut game for Wario, this game is an open-ended platformer where levels can be done in whatever order possible - as long as all boss coins are maintained for Mario to reclaim his castle back during endgame. But we're not doing any of that - instead, I made a bingo board, and it's based on level completion, item collection, secret discovery, and LAYING THE SMACKDOWN ON AS MANY CREATURES AS POSSIBLE.

Based on the movie of the same name, you play as Buzz in 10 open levels, collecting Pizza Planet tokens on the way to saving Woody from a greedy toy collector. Despite the subgenre chosen, it's actually one of the better licenced titles from this console generation. That also comes with its own set of sequence breaks, which I will be glad to showcase what I have learned from my endeavours in speedrun bingo.

Banjo Kazooie is about the bear and bird duo, Banjo and Kazooie. Their sister Tooti got stolen because Gruntilda wants to be the prettiest lady in the world. It is up to Banjo and Kazooie to save Tooti along with stopping Grunty's terror.

Let's explore Barbie's dreams as she falls asleep in this NES platform game from 1991. With the help of her various friends (a dolphin, a cat and... a hamburger???), she'll do everything to defeat her anxieties and be ready for her date with Ken.

Based on the nostalgic movie of the same name, Barbie takes on the role of Princess Annika brandishing the Wand of Light to free the village people from stone and take down the evil warlock, Wenlock. Set in a winter themed setting, this game is a classic platformer developed by WayForward in which you travel from world to world and gain powerups to save the day. Powerups include a fire/melting ability, forest magic, and more! When someone asks what I think the best Barbie video game is, this game is always my answer. This game is the perfect cozy, nostalgic game, especially for those who grew up with Barbie in the early 2000s. The run may seem simple on the surface, but requires a lot of practice due to having to memorize the placement of each villager in every level, and has a precise glitch which, if executed perfectly, can save up to 5 minutes!

A new Princess Peach game in 2024?! I must be dreaming! We finally get another adventure starring Princess Peach as the protagonist. In Princess Peach: Showtime!, you follow along Peach and her new companion Stella to rescue the Theets and Sparkla from the evil Madame Grape, her Sour minions, and the various bosses found on each floor. Princess Peach will need to use the power of Sparkle in order to save the day. Peach also gets to try different roles in order to defeat bosses, such as a swordfighter, a thief, and more! The aesthetic of this game can be compared to Paper Mario. The game is set in a theater, so the enemies, backgrounds, and other characters are usually made of wood, cardboard, and/or held up by strings just as if they were props on a theater stage. That is one of my favorite part of this game since it really puts the player in the point of view of starring in a play.

Do you miss early 2000s technology, slang, and aesthetics? Do you like awfully silly games? Then this is the game for you! Based on the movie The Barbie Diaries, we join Barbie trying to get a spot as the school's top TV anchor. She needs a hot new story to impress her teacher to give her a chance. By a chance of fate, the school's auction items have disappeared and appear to be stolen. Barbie jumps on the case to solve who stole the missing auction items. Since the items are hidden around the school, we must use clues given to us by our "secret admirer" to find their locations. Barbie will need to complete quick time events, solve puzzles, and gather evidence to find the auction items, solve the case, and get the anchor position she's always wanted!

Beastieball answers an important question: what if a monster collecting game was a volleyball anime? With hilarious and moving character writing? And beautiful, low-poly environments to traverse? And intriguing worldbuilding which you discover throughout the story? And animations breathing tons of life into every character and creature? And a fantastic, innovative soundtrack which WILL get stuck in your head? And your very own team of Beasties with relationships which form and shift as you travel around playing freaking SPORTSBALL? Every battle is a volleyball match played to one, two, or three points. With no damage RNG, each point is a delicate dance of volleys, positioning, supportive and defensive moves, and creative attacks. Your team members will hone their body, mind, and spirit as you coach them on the way to the Crown Series, and find the answer to the second question: why are those Beasties ballin’, anyway?

Chicory is a top-down adventure game turned coloring book.

Charming characters, beautiful environments, a lovely soundtrack, and unique gameplay featuring precise painting and movement to follow it.

BioShock Infinite is the most recent game in the BioShock franchise, released in 2013. While retaining the idiosyncratically story-rich, multifaceted gameplay of BioShock 1, Infinite pushes the boundaries by being a more fast-paced and energized shooter to great effect. Tasked with nothing more than a simple line, "bring us the girl and wipe away the debt," Booker DeWitt finds himself in the radiant sky city of Columbia, but soon finds that behind the façade is a network of lies and atrocities.

Cassette Beasts is a monster collecting RPG mixed with 3D platformer where players use cassette tapes to transform into the monsters you fight as. This game also has a large handful of different types of bosses and quests that the player can take on with seemingly no shortage in ways the player can enjoy the game.

Sonic Mania is a classic style Sonic the Hedgehog game that acted as a celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Sonic series! The game consists of 13 different zones, each one being split into 2 acts, and includes reimagined versions of zones from Sonic 1, 2, 3 & Knuckles, and CD, as well as a few original zones of it's own!

Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania is one of the most recent titles in the Super Monkey Ball series! Returning to it's original stage feel, SMB: Banana Mania brings back all the stages from Super Monkey Ball 1, 2, and Deluxe. Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania also introduces a new mechanic known as the manual camera, giving players full control over the camera's position and opening up quite a few brand new strats!

Released in 2018 from Maddy Makes Games, Celeste is a high-paced 2D platformer, and of course, a fatales-favorite across the years. The player controls Madeline as she climbs towards the peak of Mount Celeste, and speedrunners strive to do this at faster-than-breakneck speeds.

vivid/stasis is a vertical scroll 4-key rhythm game by Hajimeli, featuring everything from well-known tracks from the likes of LeaF and Camellia, to lesser-known artists exclusive to this game. The game uses "bumper notes", left/right notes that cross 2 lanes, to create interesting and unique rhythm challenges. With difficulties from Opening to Encore and a vivid soundtrack fit for a rhythm game, vivid/stasis is a great game to have as a marathon showcase.

Celeste is a precision platformer about how trans women can dash in 8 directions. Okay, but seriously, Celeste is a momentum based platformer with 3 actions: jumping, dashing, and grabbing walls. Despite the simple controls, Celeste has an impressively high skill ceiling. It is also home to a single major glitch which disables certain collision. While this glitch is normally TAS-only, it's possible to use unassisted by waiting for 5 days. In the interest of having the speedrun be shorter than the event, I'll be using mods to simulate this.

Celeste (2018) is a platformer developed by Maddy Makes Games where Madeline has one goal in mind: to reach the summit of Celeste mountain. During her journey, she meets several challenges, including a depiction of herself showing distrust, interrupting her journey. Utilizing gameplay mechanics of jumping, climbing, and dashing through chapters, will she be able to achieve her goal of reaching the summit?

Celeste Bingo is a unique take on Celeste speedruns, challenging players not only in raw execution, but also in strategy. Using custom progression systems and collectible trackers developed by members of the Celeste Bingo community, a variety of strategic routing decisions, mindgames, and execution races really shows off the best of what Celeste has to offer!

Startup Contest 2021 is a mod made up of 24 beginner difficulty maps and a lobby. Each map is made by a different mapper, except for the final map, The Startside, which was a collaborative effort combining each individual map into one. There is a wide variety in level types, both casually and in the speedrun.

Chrono Cross (whos had its 25th anniversary wheee) is the sequel to the hit classic RPG Chrono Trigger. Chrono Trigger is praised for its story and battle system - but the sequel (how sequel it is depends on how you interpret it) utilizes an even more unique battle system that is incredibly complex and is fully utilized to its advantage in the speedrun! Also, the soundtrack is A++ yeehaw smiley face.

Octopath Traveler is a 2D-HD RPG that set up a nice storm of future 2D-HD rpg goodness. We start with one of eight characters. However, it's also a very open world speedrun, with a very large variety of categories for different levels of times! This is a turn-based RPG where the menuing is extremely smooth, and many bosses in the speedrun have fun elements to work around with, with a nice sprinkle of pay-to-win!

Capcom's first stab at the infamous Clock Tower stalker-style game, well before they made Haunting Ground. Absolutely wild time of a game, from magical school girls to taking down serial killers. The game was even directed by the same man who directed Battle Royale, and all the cutscenes are acted by over-acting theatre actors. Spooky mansions, Britain during the Blitz, the standard horror sewer level, and massive haunted castles are just some of the locales in this riot of a game. As a speedrun, it's very technical; there's panic management (and not just the runner's!), health management in cutscenes, technical arrow usage in boss fights, and striking stalkers with holy water through walls to evade damage. Clock Tower 3 is a great horror game and an even better speedgame, especially because unlike other stalker horror games, Alyssa does not care if she's being chased when it comes to doing puzzles. So, naturally, expect to be chased nearly the entire game.

The lesser known precursor to the Shadow Hearts franchise, Koudelka is part of the tiny-but-mighty group of games known as Horror JRPGs. It sits alongside the Shadow Heart games, as well as Parasite Eve, with that title. Everything from drops to weapon types to weapon attributes is randomized. Every non-key item can be renamed. Want to make all the potions in the game show up as hamburgers? You can do that. Koudelka requires a lot of thinking on the fly to deal with the RNG the game throws at you, but it's all worth it for a game with stellar music, visuals, and awesome horror.

What do you get when you combine JRPG and Resident Evil? Why, Parasite Eve of course! This is the sequel to the infamous Parasite Eve, and though it steers more towards the Resident Evil side of the formula, PE2 is still a riot of a Speedrun. From enemy dodging to blowing up the final boss with a massive canon, the run is full of great moments.

Revelations before Revelations and Dead Aim before Dead Aim. Gaiden is the first Resident Evil game that takes place on a cruise ship (isn't it weird there's three of them?) and the first with good ol' sandwich man Barry Burton as a playable character! Glitches abound, from bugging out bosses to turn them into regular enemies, to sprite bugs, to infinite ammo grenades that explode specifically while running away! It's a riot of a time, and could absolutely be played with a very special controller... *Chainsaw sounds*

Crypt of the NecroDancer is a rhythm-based roguelike, where every action occurs in sync with the beat of the music, and the player is expected to make inputs in beat as well. Otherwise, the game is a fairly typical roguelike: there are 5 zones that each consist of 3 levels and a boss. To get through a level, you have to find the exit and kill the miniboss. The game is also notable for having an enormous amount of music-based puns (deep blues, coral riff, death metal, king conga, and fortissimole are the 5 normal bosses for example), and having an absolute banger of a soundtrack.

An evil alien named Nitros Oxide is threatening to take over the Earth. The only way to stop him is to beat him in a race. Which one of Crash Bandicoot's friends (or foes) will defeat him? (Just kidding, we know it'll be Tiny Tiger!)

Dark Souls[ is a dark fantasy action role-playing game series developed by FromSoftware. It has received critical acclaim, with its high level of difficulty being among its most discussed aspects.

A fairly quick paced hack and slash game from the early PS2 era. The speedrun is dictated by high level and efficient play to chew through bosses and move through zones in a speedy manner.

The game itself has gorgeous graphics and an amazing story with amazingly fun turn-based battle mechanics and effects.

Known for its quirky elements and cult following, the game features a Dressphere job system for tactical battles and "Episode Completes" for unlocking more story and quests. It also includes a Creature Creator feature, allowing players to capture and train monsters for use in battles, adding an extra layer of customization and strategy to the gameplay experience. The battle system uses ATB instead of fully turn based which means quicker decisions need to be made in real time.

DuckTales! Woo hoo! This 2013 remake of the 1989 NES game based on the 1987 TV show stays true to its origins and delivers beautiful 2D animation and features most of the original cast of the cartoon.

Set roughly 500 years after the events of the first Fable, Lionhead Studios's Fable II is a game about a young street urchin growing up with their faithful canine companion at their side to locate and team up with the Heroes of Strength, Will, and Skill to thwart the world-ending plans of the corrupt former Bowerstone Mayor, Lucien Fairfax, all with the guidance of the half a century old sister of the first game's protagonist! The game also faithfully built upon the foundation its predecessor had laid by maintaining the same core gameplay formula and completely revamping it to fit its narrative 1700s-esque era.

Spotlight scary. A failed seance leads to 2 separate stories as the 2 main characters solve puzzles and work through their personal mental blocks.

Final Fantasy Type-0 is a game that combines Final Fantasy lore, ARPG mechanics, and enough RNG to keep you on your toes the whole run. Follow along as we use the powerhouses of Shiva and (Samurai) Jack and inadvertently reroute on the fly when the game just says, "um, actually, no." Fast movement, quick boss strats, and me lamenting over the general RNG chaos make this an enjoyably wild ride.

Actual main theme lyrics: "Close your fist, take my hand - don't forget your underpants!" This is a game about a cute kitty that becomes a bodybuilder with the head of a cute kitty when wearing mythical underpants. It has the backdash movement tech SotN WISHES it had. You fly using a pink unicorn that shoots laser farts at enemies. There's DDR, litter boxes, shmups, fangirls, and surprisingly tight cycle-based platforming. No one is prepared for what they're about to witness.

Sound Shapes is a unique and gorgeous rhythm platformer from 2012. Jump, slide, and bounce over traps while you collect all the notes and create the level's music as you progress. A visual delight by itself, the platforming and note-collecting is extremely tight, stressful and challenging, and rewarding.

Have you ever wanted to be a zookeeper in charge of feeding cool animals, nursing sick animals back to health, and facing the horrors of mutated creatures while trying to survive the creepy zoo owner and a monstrosity he calls Mother? Zoochosis is the game for you! This speedrun starts off with a huge RNG hurdle of which enclosures you get access to in that run...and THEN the routing begins. Each enclosure throws even more RNG at you with the items available and which animals to target, and the item management is so razor-thin I need to make every shot count. Small optimizations, understanding how the AI behaves, and choosing an optimal enclosure route makes this blazing fast speedrun both surprisingly tricky and fun.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is part 2 of the project to remake Final Fantasy VII. It's an Action RPG with an intricate real time combat system that allows you to pause at any time and select attacks from a menu.

Final Fantasy X is the tenth iteration of the most famous RPG series probably ever. It's got lots of interesting elements to play with in a speedrun and with CSR the game has gone from 10 hours down to 3!

J-Pop Charlie's Angels. The objectively best game in the entire Final Fantasy franchise. Dress up in cute outfits and kill god.

KickBot is a fast paced "platformer" where the only movement mechanic is wall jumping. It has an upbeat energy, beautiful artwork, and a lot of clever level design tricks. This is a speedrun of the game's demo, which I may or may not be submitting as a ploy to goad the developers into finishing the full release.

I bet you and most of your viewers didn't even know it was possible to speedrun RollerCoaster Tycoon. Well, using the OpenRCT2 fan mod, you can zoom through scenarios using optimized ride designs, clever manipulation of the marketing campaign mechanic, and good ol' fashioned APMs. I more or less invented RCT speedrunning so perhaps it would be cool to have a legend showcasing their craft in yr marathon, idk

Fuun Bakumatsuden (風雲幕末伝) is an action game released by Genki on January 20, 2005 for the PlayStation 2. It is set at the period of “bakumatsu”, or “The end of the Shogunate”, the second half of the 19th century, an important turning point in Japan's history. The basic strategy is to pick up the shortest missions to fulfill the required number of missions without wasting time on longer missions. And you know what is the best weapon for Samurai. Katana? Spear? --No, a pistol! In this game, the "gunshot", one of "Battou-jutsu (sword-drawing) " techniques is overpowered. Therefore it is important to accumulate proficiency in Battoujutsu to learn the "Gunshot" as quickly as possible. Once you learn it, you can beat the boss very fast with the pistol, without letting them fight back. There are two storylines in "Fuun Bakumatsuden," pro-shogunate and anti-shogunate. The basic tactics of both remain the same, only the storyline differs.

The game is based on the GameCenter CX (Retro Game Master) TV show and includes a number of retro-style games in various genres, incorporating ideas from the show's star, Shinya Arino. (The genre is officially called “game-in-game.”) In this run, I will play "Flame Fighting Salaryman Yattaro", a game newly included in the remastered edition.

Geometry Dash is a rhythm-based 2D platformer that quickly became one of the most popular mobile games of the early-mid 2010s before also coming to Steam. The main gameplay loop consists of the player dodging autoscrolling hazards in sync with the level's music track. It was originally known as a rage game, but nowadays it has an incredibly dedicated community of hardcore players and custom level creators, which is still active and thriving to this day. The in-game level editor in particular is one of the most in-depth editors I've ever seen, to the point that entire games have been made within it.

Geometry Dash is an action-packed, rhythm-based platformer game with a great EDM soundtrack. In this classic game, we jump, dash, and fly our way through 22 levels full of spikes, saws, and other dangerous obstacles. No checkpoints, all skill. One hit, and it's back to the start of the level.

Ghostland Yard is a very cute and yet very nervous platformer where you play a ghost and are on an adventure to rescue your kidnapped ghostfriends! When I stream it, people already mntion "Super Meat Boy", "Celeste" and "The en is Nigh", so you get the difficulty idea.

Super Mario Kart is the racing game that changed the genre forever. Gotta go fast, use advanced boosting strat (who said snacking was invented for Double Dash?), mushrooms and feathers to execute spectacular shortcuts, and hopefully give you will to join the community. No lapskips and no Lakitu assist, we basically use the same rules as we do during the world championships.

Very cool Diablo-style Action RPG in very unique "eastpunk" setting, based on south-eastern asian folklore. Game features multi-class system, allowing to mix and match various archetypes.

PC remake of one of the earliest Action-RPGs ever, originally made in the 80s and featuring signature bumb combat.

Golden Egg is a free-on-Steam 3D platformer with built-in speedrun timers for each level that has gotten ironically little attention from the speedrunning community. A mix of optimization and simple ways to exploit programming and terrain makes it play like a primer to speedrunning. With a low skill floor when it comes to executing tech, it's a great game for people who are hesitant about getting into speedrunning or even just want to get a better understanding of what it is.

Recording artist / pop culture icon / property of Crypton Future Media, Inc. Hatsune Miku is universally beloved, which is good because she and her friends went on vacation to space! But their ship hit a wishing star and crash-landed in a town of friendly animal people who need their help! We play minigames to deliver mail, be a role model, and build a fort for a koala to hide from work. It's fastest to do a bad job at everything, but nobody notices because it's Miku! Yay! - Submitted with a category upgrade incentive to play the game (mostly) with my feet. Minigames are timestamped in both videos, narration is best in the meme one.

Picture Monkey Island gameplay with an aesthetic between Hylics & LSD Dream Emulator. The CGA-inspired, surreal visuals of this point & click adventure immediately draw attention. Melon Head's absurd puzzles make relative sense casually; in a speedrun, however, we gleefully abandon all context with hilarious effect. Watch as we: Have a Vision in our Comfy Sack; Tamper with the Scene of an Illegal Pine Growing Operation; Cherry Bomb a Bowl of Goulash; Create a Disturbance with a Taxidermy Magpie; Mail Laxatives to a Giant; and last but not least, the proposed Bid War- Betray the Revolution or Assassinate the King with our Art Commission. How avant-garde! (Timestamps of several preposterous moments in the description!)

On the one hand, the all-women roster of SNK Heroines suffers from the male gaze seemingly as a plot point as well as a design choice. On the other, three of the fighters are *official genderswaps* of existing male characters, including flagship character Terry Bogard. And the most interesting costume choices in the game are clearly for (my main) MissX: Two of them feature identical, rather conservative outfits, instead switching between feminized and masculinized body types; the third puts them blushing and sweating in an outfit professing their love for their (also genderswapped) martial arts rival. This, too, is yuri.

Actual description from the game case: Penelope, the youngest Ham-Ham, is missing. She's lost in Boss's tunnels and Snoozer is asleep in front of the entrance! The Ham-Hams need your learning power to wake up Snoozer, find Penelope and save the day.

It's Hamtaro Time! Join the Ham-Hams for an Olympic style adventure through various minigames.

Sugar, Spice, and Everything Nice! Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup fly to finish a scavenger hunt and bring the villains of Townsville to justice. Each girl has unique attacks and movement to defeat enemies and traverse the game. This game features Out of Bounds glitches in Mojo Jojo's "OOBservatory" section, and boss quick kills throughout the run manipulating the game's magic system.

Here Comes Niko is a cute 3D Platformer where we become a professional friend!

Pokémon Black is my favourite Pokémon game and it has a pretty cool run.

Punch-Out!! is a boxing game where we fight boxers from across the world!

Horizon Forbidden West is the sequel to the critically acclaimed Horizon Zero Dawn. In this game, we continue Aloy's journey as she seeks to save her dying world by recovering an AI called GAIA. To do this, she must journey into the Forbidden West, where she encounters new societies and new conflicts that all stand in the way of her mission. Through this adventure, she reunites with old allies and makes new ones, eventually recovering GAIA and learning of a new danger the world will soon face.

A Houseflipper is a decorating game where you create renovated spaces in first person using a floating pair of arms that emulate a person.

Hylics is a recreation program with light RPG elements. The game uses claymation to create a wonderfully weird visual style, and the game features lots of weird and cryptic happenings. You play as Wayne on a mission to defeat the Moon Lord Gibby, gathering multiple party members and fighting multiple bosses along the way. The game is a short-but-sweet RPGMaker run that uses a lot of status effects and priority moves to get through a bunch of tough fights!

Birth by Sleep was originally released on the PSP in 2010 and re-released on console in 2014. It's known for its story being split up into three segments with three playable characters: Terra, Ventus, and Aqua. I'm open to a Bid War between the three characters.

When you first look at Landstalker, what is the first word that comes to mind? If you said "Zelda", then you wouldn't be the first person to tell me that. Landstalker is what I call an isometric Zelda-like experience that focuses heavily on tricky platforming and tough combat. The vibrate colors (mostly orange if you believe some people) and lively music play to the whimsical nature of the game's story and animation and while the game is frustrating to play (especially for beginners), the game is a rewarding experience to get through and a fun experience to watch.

The HD version of Langrisser 1 & 2 is a complete remake of the Genesis/Mega Drive games "Warsong" and "Langrisser II" (aka Der Langrisser for the Super Famicom). The Langrisser games are a series of tactical RPGs where the player controls a group of commanders, and each commander can control their own units in order to complete various objectives. There are multiple paths that the player can go based on the decisions they make in the game, which can result in different endings. The speedrun involves some unique strategies and choices in order to get to the fastest ending. The game is friendly and forgiving, as a game-over only results in starting the fight over yet allows you to keep all of the experience you earned in the fight.

Mario Superstar Baseball's endlessly replayable single player Challenge Mode lets you enjoy the fun of crushing the CPUs into the dirt with ten run leads, but believe it or not, it also has side quests. Each of the 32 characters in the game has optional Star Missions that they can achieve in baseball matches and minigames. If a character completes all of their Star Missions, they become a Superstar, and get a respectable boost to their stats! Star Mission progress can be carried over between playthroughs, so you can eventually make every character a Superstar. The tension between playing quickly while still accomplishing every mandatory objective makes for wild speedruns that are different every time.

In my opinion, Mega Man 7 is one of the most underrated Mega Man games. The stages, art, and robot masters are all phenomenal. It is the only classic Mega Man game developed for the Super Nintendo. It's also one of the more difficult games of the series, with one of, if not the most difficult Wily Capsule of the fights in the entire series. This game has so much charm, and I would love to show it off for those that may have overlooked it. If accepted, I will be encouraging chat to put "good boy!"s in chat every time Rush is on screen. And with this being 100%, that will be a lot.

Shocking secrets, tangled plots, and tough puzzles - All solved in the blink of an eye in this run of Nancy Drew: The Deadly Device! Based on the beloved mystery series, this point and click murder mystery takes Nancy Drew on a thrilling adventure to investigate a cold case.

Imagine: a pristine, natural landscape, overrun by a maniacal villain set on filling it with pollution, machines, and robot animals. Its only savior? A rail-grindin' animal with attitude who can jump and dash with incredible speed. That's right, it's SKATOR GATOR! Were... were you expecting someone else? Sorry hedgehogs, only a gator can save this swamp, with their death-defying jumps, dizzying shortcuts, and and pure skateboardin' radness.

released in 2005 for the ps2, neopets: The Darkest Faerie is a fantasy action adventure game that everyone should play! it's a very long game with 4 acts, but the speedrun route cuts the game length down to around 40-45 minutes.

The original Peggle you all know and love! Peggle’s precision gameplay combined with its rng makes for a speedy, skillful experience where no two runs are ever the same.

This run is guaranteed to STICK with viewers and BUILD interest in the marathon!

You play as a Pokemon yourself after being transformed into one and now must save the world with your trusty partner, the run itself features going through these dungeons as fast as we can. It also showcases some interesting strategizing with managing your items and partner, as well as showing just how hard Skitty and Cyndaquil steamroll through this game.

A wild new adventure with Pokémon! YOU CAN BATTLE TO BE THE BEST! Une nouvelle aventure incroyable avec les Pokémon. VOUS POUVEZ VOUS EMPARER DU TITRE DE MAITRE! (The kinds and likelihood of Pokémon that appear, the people you will meet during your adventure, and other elements differ between Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield. Pokémon Sword can communicate, battle, and trade with other Pokémon Sword and Pokémon shield games.)

Read Corvimae's description for the funny hahas here's a real one lol: Released in 2019, Pokémon Sword/Shield began the 8th generation of Pokémon. The games are set in the Galar region, a region greatly inspired by the United Kingdom. The games feature new version-exclusive features never done before, such as version-exclusive Gyms and Gym Leaders! These games follow the more traditional Pokémon formula unlike some Nintendo Switch mainline games coming before and after it; this is the Pokémon you know and love. It does feature some new and unique changes to the formula though, such as being the first mainline Pokémon game to include an open-world section. Thanks to the Wild Area, this is probably the single most customizable mainline Pokémon speedgame out there, with over 75 different recorded ways to beat the main campaign (not even including the DLC)!

A fantastic comedy platformer, this game has a lot of silly movement, quotable dialogue and hilarious moments that are fun to watch and nostalgic for everyone.

A beautiful horror game about a girl processing her childhood trauma in an orphanage. The music is gorgeous and the setting is colorful and memorable. The actual gameplay is reminiscent of Silent Hill. This game is infamous but deserves more attention and recognition as an early horror game with a gay woman protagonist.

Sneaky raccoon flies through multiple countries, more at 11.

A smaller platformer out of Australia, this game has a ton of charm and comedy to it. The platforming also has some fantastic skips and it's in general just a really fun watch.

I will be playing the DLC Separate Ways in full cosplay on assisted difficulty using only a handgun. If you love horror, action, and a technical speed run, you'll love watching this glitchless run!

Samurai Maiden is a silly action-platformer centered on Tsumugi and her three partners Iyo, Hagane and Komimi, who attempt to stop Nobunaga's ambitious plan to become a Demon Lord and win the war. While we can control only Tsumugi, Iyo and the others' support is quintessential to going fast, and that's not all they do... (they kiss. a lot.)

Welcome to the laboratory of Dr. Jean Paul Gassé! Here we will be raising and caring for our very own Seaman! While we will not be experiencing his entire life story, we will at least get to a point where Seaman reciprocates the affection we show to him and he will be able to communicate that with us. Come and observe the circle of life. This run will showcase a strange little game released on the Sega Dreamcast that utilized its Microphone accessory! Let's head over to the tank!

It's THAT game! THE Sonic game! Sonic Adventure is a fan favorite where all of Sonic's buddies get to play as well! Originally released on the Dreamcast in 1999, a port/remaster (term debatable) was made for the Nintendo Gamecube and PC in 2003! Join Sonic and his friends on an adventure to collect the seven chaos emeralds and protect the world!

A silly indie puzzle game where you play as a horrible goose on the loose around an unsuspecting village! What antics will you get into and how much chaos can we cause to the inhabitants. Don't forget, we have a designated HONK button!

Signalis is a Sapphic dystopian tale about LSTR-512 and her quest to reunite with her girlfriend. Join us as we powerwalk through space and time on our quest to remember where she's taking her nap.

You play as a horse on a skate. That's it. That's the game. Controls are awful, platforms are bugged, level design is terrible, every button that is not jump makes Skate Horse™ neigh and despite everything, it's still fun.

Music is illegal and you're here to do crimes. UNBEATABLE [white label] is the demo/prequel of UNBEATABLE, a soon to release adventure rhythm game. You only need two buttons to play, all of the songs were composed especially for the game and all of the animations are hand made and heavily inspired by Studio Trigger (Kill La Kill, Little Witch Academia, etc). It's super queer, it's very flashy, it's obviously punk, it's one of my favorite album of all time, it's UNBEATABLE.

Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley is a cozy game, sort of - A world of beautiful, storybook-like art, wonderful music, and adorable characters. You spend the majority of the game running around and being an ungovernable scourge upon the police officers who are occupying your sacred moominvalley and turning it into a manufactured and dried-out nightmare. EXTREMELY satisfying to play and watch - and the memes will be fantastic!

Solar Ash was made by the creators of Hyper Light Drifter and follows in its footsteps by offering an open exploration game, but this time in 3D ! The game takes place inside a black hole, where the gravity is distorted, which makes for some unique movement in and of itself. The game is also foscused on speed with timed challenges on the "eyes" and the bosses required. During the speedrun, we use glitches, camera & gravity manipulations and precise inputs to get from required challenge to the next as fast as possible. Most of the challenges are actually pretty easy during a speedrun, what's difficult is skipping most of the intended path to go as fast as possible.

Sonic the Hedgehog (1) does not need much of an introduction. However, this romhack allows you to play through the game as Blaze the Cat, and the run will be slightly different due to her unique abilities!

Sonic X Shadow Generations (2024) is the newest 3D Sonic game in the series. This speedrun focuses on the Shadow Generations half of the game. Shadow gets new powers that give him projectiles, a surfboard, wings, and the ability to turn into a squid, which makes for very fast and fun movement. ALL HAIL SHADOW.

This game offers so much variety to pick and choose from to speedrun, from the Rise of the Empire campaign (ROTE) any% or all missions (basically with space missions or without), to galactic conquests, to the various categories of instant action. CTF is a personal favorite of mine for movement! We even have fun mod categories like Hero%, No AutoScrollers, even a randomizer! There's so much fun and hidden depth to the game, from having an understanding of ai patterns to movement tech that's been introduced into the run in the last year that blows the game wide open for cool schmoovement with heroes. We've got turret clips, out of bounds shenanigans, a lot a cool movement tech from the dark trooper and jedi/sith heroes, and more! Hope you all find it interesting and I hope to get to show it off!

Stardew Valley is a delightful farming simulator which continues to capture the hearts and souls of the indie gaming sphere. With the recent 1.6 patch, enthusiasm for the game is at an all time high. The game is a low-floor, high ceiling skill expression game that makes it a super fun speedgame.

An 80s-infused mixtape of four experimental horror/sci-fi adventures, about reading manuals and interacting with fiddly old technology. Each "episode" in the anthology starts out relatively mundane but gets stranger and stranger, and connections start to emerge between them as all is not as it seems... From the developers of Observation and Silent Hill: Townfall. A casual playthrough is around three hours long; the speedrun cuts that down to a bit more than 50 minutes.

It's Super Mario Bros. 3, but randomized! The game contains a randomized overworld, enemy sprites, boss hp, and stage swap. It is possible to see Boss Bass chase Mario in the Desert and the Angry Sun pursue Mario through the frozen wasteland.

Zelda 1 Randomizer has been around for a very long time, and is still going strong with a multitude of options for randomization. The settings being proposed is consternation - some of the most volatile out there that can create humorous results. The dungeon shapes are randomized, heart containers are in the item pool, dungeons can be on nearly any square of the map, and enemies are swapped between the overworld and labyrinths. Additionally, many sprites from the game can be the main character, and can be up for the incentive.

Nintendo's own take on their make-what-you-want Mario adventure, where the levels are designed both to be fun to play and to inspire the player in their own level-making endeavors. Featuring everything from classic throwbacks for nostalgia to an entire world dedicated to Koopa Clown Cars! Includes a mix of clean movement, skips & tricks, and RNG Bowser fights. Did very well when showcased at Flame Fatales, raising nearly 2K on just the save/kill Yoshi incentive on day 1. Video descriptions include highlight links. Hello and thank you :D <3

Super Mario Odyssey is a captivating 3D action-adventure platformer developed by Nintendo. In this groundbreaking installment, players control the iconic character Mario as he embarks on a globe-trotting journey to save Princess Peach from the clutches of the nefarious Bowser, who plans to marry her against her will. Mario is aided by a magical hat named Cappy, which grants him the unique ability to "capture" and control various objects and creatures in the game world.

Super Mario Party Jamboree, released on October 17, 2024, for the Nintendo Switch, is the latest installment in the Mario Party series. It features 22 playable characters and over 110 minigames—the most in any Mario Party game to date.

The game offers various modes, such as the 20-player online Koopathlon and the cooperative Bowser Kaboom Squad, providing a diverse and engaging party experience.

Releasing just a few months ago, Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble is widely considered the best Monkey Ball game in almost two decades, and arguably the best modern Monkey Ball speedrun. The excellent level design leads to consistently entertaining and impressive gameplay, and the brand new dash mechanic adds a fun spin onto the classic Monkey Ball formula while creating a very fast-paced run.

Archipelago is a connected multi-game randomizer system with many supported games, where items/unlocks from each game can be sent between each other. It also includes many features such as a hint system, and the ability to play at the same time (synchronous) or at separate times (asynchronous).

A 4 player Synchronized Archipelago randomizer done between 4 (or if I'm a part of the team 5) different games. Archipelago is a tool that randomizes items from games into different games, meaning that different players in different games need to work together in order to complete the randomizer. We coordinate our efforts in different ways in our game to help each other keep from getting stuck and to make progress as a team in order to all finish our games as quickly as possible. The randomizer isn't over until we all complete our games!

Archipelago is a multiworld randomizer that shuffles items across multiple different games, allowing you to play randomizers from very different games together in one connected seed. This also enables co-op seeds, where multiple players play simultaneously, collecting random items from across all games in the seed as they find a path to the end of each game.

TUNIC is a game about a tiny little fox in a big, mysterious, somewhat hostile world. This game is heavily focused on exploration, combat, and puzzles solving. Through adorable aesthetics, environmental story-telling, and clever deduction, the game reveals itself to be much deeper than it originally seems

Four player co-op Synchronous Archipelago Multiworld Randomizer with Threepup, Kriellya, and RadiantLumina. Asynchronous Archipelago games can go for weeks, where Synchronous ones normally go for 3-6 hours, but we are consistently under 2:30:00 for all four games complete. Archipelago is a piece of software that allows for completely different games to be randomized together, spreading items from a shared item pool across the games and using a back end server to determine what items are being sent. Synchronous means we are playing all at the same time, with the goal being that all four games are completed. Behind the scenes, hints are being sent to the runners indicating where key items can be found, forcing the runners to make on the fly routing decisions with the common goal of helping everyone finish as fast as possible.

Yoshi battles Bowser and a series of mind-controlled minions in a puzzle battle to save them all! This is a match-3 game where creating combos and chains leads to creating large piles of garbage to cover your opponent's battlefield and force them to top off.

Wario is back again in this randomizer to collect all of the treasure he can and rescue a world from an evil force! Collecting all 5 music boxes in this randomized metrovania style platformer will open the way to fight a final boss and save all of the people!

ScottishBrave, Laoria, Lanabean and myself are doing a multiworld of the game A Link to the Past. We have different settings. The settings are: Brave: all dungeon, inverted, crosskeys with boots and sword Laoria: Shop 'til you keydrop (standard, entrance shuffle, keysanity, universal small key, shopsanity, keydrop with boots and sword) Lanabean: all dungeon, enemizer crosskeys with boots and sword Pichu (me): all dungeon, swordless crosskeys, with boots and silver arrows

The settings are: Brave: all dungeons, inverted, crosskeys with boots and sword; Laoria (me): Shop 'til you keydrop (standard, entrance shuffle, keysanity, universal small key, shopsanity, keydrop with boots and sword); Lanabean: all dungeons, enemizer crosskeys with boots and sword; Pichu: all dungeons, swordless crosskeys, with boots and silver arrows. We are working on the preset to make the time shorter.

Link to the Past Randomizer multiworld with 4 friends, myself, Laoria, Pichu and Scottishbrave 44. All of us have differing settings, but as it is a multiworld all the items in all 4 games are divided among the 4, so we can find each other's items in games, then that item gets transferred to the appropriate player. Myself: Crosskeys, enemizer, all dungeons, sword/boots start. Pichu: Swordless, all dungeons, bow/silver arrows start. Laoria: Shop 'till you keydrop: Shopsanity, enemies which normally drop small keys are shuffled into the item pools. ScottishBrave: Inverted Crosskeys, all dungeons, boots/sword start. Commentary on the runs would be by plasmasnake & Amarith.

Released in 2017 as one of the best open-world games of all time, almost 8 years later Breath of the Wild speedrunning is as strong as ever, with a resurgence of intense competition all across the board. The open-ended freedom provided by the nature of the game world, physics engine, and the abilities given to protagonist Link, together make for a creative and fast-paced speedrun in any category. Clean movement, in-depth glitch knowledge, and combat prowess are all required skills to achieve a fast time in this game. The glitches and tricks are simple to understand, easy to learn, yet hard to master; making this game an exciting watch.

This is the first game in the series to feature Zelda as the protagonist, make copies of almost anything and use them to explore the land and solve puzzles.

Link's Awakening DX (Game Boy Color, 1998) is an updated port of the 1993 Game Boy classic Link's Awakening. This randomizer, by Daid, shuffles the contents of Koholint Island so that Link needs to find an alternate path in order to gather the eight Instruments of the Sirens, wake the Wind Fish, and find his way home.

Ocarina of Time is the first 3D Legend of Zelda game that was made. It is well known in speedrun circles for its seemingly endless glitches and sequence breaking possibilities.

Skyward Sword SD is a skill gauntlet to behold!* *with only occasional interruptions to behold the title screen. Link and his mandatory motion controls will demonstrate precision movement and comp sci competence. We can use one silly bug in how Skyward Sword handles death to turn the title into a method of visual coding that lets us wrong warp, open doors, open doors accidentally, open scary doors, and occasionally randomly change clothes during screen transitions. No comp-sci degree actually required.

Skyward Sword Randomizer is ready for it's GDQ debut! The Randomizer turns Skyward Sword into an open sky waiting to be explored with... whatever items we happen to stumble across this time as they've all been scattered randomly to the wind.

Titanfall 2 is a movement based first person shooter, set in a far future in a galaxy rife with conflict. Respawn Entertainment developed a movement based momentum system which we will utilize to glide through the levels of the game. We play as pilot-in-training Jack Cooper, along with a Militia strike group, on our way to a research outpost of the hypercapitalist IMC. Using several source engine quirks and sequence breaks we blaze through the planet Typhon to ensure the Frontier will be free from IMC rule.

Titanfall 2 is a movement-shooter/platformer based on a modified version of the source engine, where keeping momentum and quickly building speed are key. You play as Jack Cooper, and together with your best friend and giant robot mech, BT-7274, you need to save your home planet from being destroyed! (However we often leave BT behind, he's a little slow when we're on a time limit). The game also features cool tricks and glitches, as well as skips that are only accessible through high speeds. If you're a fan of movement in a speedrun, Titanfall 2 is a great game to watch!

TUNIC is a game about a tiny little fox known only as the Ruin Seeker. This game is heavily focused on exploration, combat, and puzzles solving. Through adorable aesthetics, environmental story-telling, and clever deduction, the game reveals itself to be much deeper than it originally seems.

This is the 1st game in the UFO 50 collection, one that is integral to the lore of the game and one which is both loved and reviled by players. The game is a paced, methodical journey through a deeply hostile environment, full of tricks and traps. The player character, known only for his Barbuta-style helmet must travel through the castle to collect money and items, all of which facilitate their climb to the top, where they must defeat the final boss (who is also unnamed).

UFO 50 is a lovely little 8-bit inspired indie set of indie games made by a collective of well known indie developers. It features 50 full games, many of which are the 8-bit era style of brutally difficult. What is not obviously apparent is that beyond the standard game lies a concealed meta story. This specific run is a very special category I've created to show off that underlying meta story and narrative.

Undertale Yellow is a fangame based on the critically acclaimed Undertale by Toby Fox. It's a project that was in development for 7 years and FINALLY got released in late 2023 AND GOSH IT IS SOOO GOOD ! This fangame so faithful to the original you could swear it was done by Toby himself. The story takes place before the events of Undertale, where we play as Clover, the 6th soul and 7th human who entered the underworld and is looking for a way to get back home.

Voidwrought is a new hand-drawn metroidvania title by indie devs Powersnake. We fight through numerous bosses and arenas as we explore various biomes, collecting movement abilities, additional powers via Souls and Relics, and interact with various NPCs. The game has a stellar soundtrack and is a fantastic game, both casually and as a speedrun, with excellent dev support for both!

Worldless is a gorgeous and stylised 2D metroidvania that explores what happened before the big bang. It is unique in that fights take place in turn based action battles and there is a heavy focus on precise timing both in movement and in fights. Upgrades are obtained by absorbing the souls of your opponents with the different polarities of dark and light representing different elements, each showcased by a different character with their own unique fighting style and movement techniques.

Yars Rising (2024) is a metroidvania love letter to the Atari 2600 game Yars Revenge (1982), as well as other classic Atari games. You play as Emi Kimura, a happy-go-lucky hacker, on a mission to infiltrate the offices of tech giant QoTech.

A colorful, adorable, silly little pinball-vania! Yoku, our adorable beetle friend, has arrived at Mokumana Island to deliver parcels, help out villagers, and awaken an elder god...in theory.

It's time to duel - but NOT the way you think! Throw away EVERYTHING you thought you knew about Yu-Gi-Oh! and get ready for Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories - an iconic and notoriously difficult game known for its interesting duel mechanics and extremely punishing RNG!
