Super Metroid race, no safety saves. This guy dies and the rest of the "race" was just him sitting there looking like that while the other guy finished.

SGDQ is better than AGDQ because we don't have to hear everyone's sob story about how their cousin's great aunt recently died of prostate cancer.

Call me heartless, but a week of "my entire family died to cancer" set to upbeat Mario music gets kinda awkward.

Compared to a lot of old games Sunshine still looks pretty good though. It's very stylized.


Would probably look neat with some ~NEXT GEN~ shaders though.

Super Mario Sunshine is a mediocre Mario but its amazing for speedruns.

As a person who's unable to play the Galaxy games, I think Sunshine is of the best Mario games :smith:

I'm sure there are Trve Kvlt Speedrunners who disagree, but I'd much rather have a personally engaging runner who explains what's happening even while he makes a few mistakes than a robot who bangs out a slightly faster time.

Pretty sure everyone agrees since this is an entertainment event, but there probably aren't actually that many speedrunners who are also good at entertaining an audience (AND explaining while playing).

Speedrunning is kinda niche, and kinda nerdy.

looking at the schedule I guess we start off with a bunch of any% runs so I guess I got my wish kinda


still wish there was a way to search the VODs for any% runs because I'm sure there are some good ones I missed but I'll never find 'em.

I think I will try this out for most of the runs I'm around to watch. people always ask about which runs are worth watching so I'll post these as a reference while it's fresh in my mind. Maybe other people can do these so we have a reference for every run, for vod watchers after the event's over?

Super Mario Sunshine, any%

~6 minutes of cutscenes at the start you can skip on VOD without missing anything. Minimal downtime during run itself.
Cool new skips and glitches, some discovered as recently as a month and a half before the run!
Being a 3D mario game, lots of technical tricks and movement tech.
Good runner with strong commentating and chill couch. Couple of chokes on the runner's part, but it's never awkward and everyone takes it in stride.
Despite being any%, features each location at least once!

Run rating: 7.5/10
A very good run.

vv fair enough, I'm just a sucker for 3d mario. It gets points for being an hour long run, which is usually the sweet spot for these.

Great idea, but I'm too busy shitposting and watching speedruns to actually write stuff :(

I really want to like A Link Between Worlds but I really hate the item lending mechanic.

Finding the dungeon items (and finding out what they are since they vary from game to game) is the most fun part of a Zelda game, don't just put them all on a table at the beginning of the game :(

He didn't "veto" anything though, he politely requested that they don't. He's not the boss of *GDQ or anything :confused:
