It’s time to feeeeesh! Get out your worms and your rods, because Pr1nc3ssShortcake and I will be working together to complete the Fish Tank room in the community center as fast as we possibly can! Will the Travelling Cart merchant be on our side and sell us any fish we need?

Disney Infinity: Inside Out is one of the story mode play sets inside of Disney Infinity 3.0. The game is a level based linear 3D Platformer, with similar vibes and camera to Mario 3D World, or Super Lucky's Tale.

We play and switch between the different emotions to utilize each of their unique powers. We also have a number of glitches and exploits to take advantage of. Such as, Dashing off of Springs to go flying through the air, Switching characters to get an extra set of jumps, Flying through the air with sadness, and breaking out of the 2nd dimension to gain 3D movement in 2D levels.

Hey, did you know there are over 200,000 flash games available that you can still play now thanks to Flashpoint? Did you know that if you put a lot of work into the setup you can do a wheel of them for a charity stream where people donate to make the wheel go spinny and change the game on you? Hit folks in the nostalgia button and get them to donate to CARE at the same time!

The estimate and showcase in general is adjustable to production needs - I've put in 45 minutes because an hour can feel long if people *don't* donate, but we can go down to 30 minutes or go up to an hour, we can even change the estimate day of to work with what the schedule needs. I will vet a certain amount of games based off the estimate given to give a wide variety - some games I've lined up previously for this include Bloons 2, Electricman 2, GROW RPG, Nanaca Crash, Papa's Pastaria, Super Smash Flash, This Is The Only Level, Wake Up the Box. However, I can adjust the selection of games to match a specific theme (ex. food, animals, flash games based off other video game properties such as Super Mario 63, Katamari Damacy 2, or the minigames on the official Cooking Mama site), and be as meme-tastic or as serious recommendations as desired.

The biggest tech burden is mostly on me as the player making sure all these different games are captured onto the stream, and having to manually spin the wheel when a donation comes in.

I don't have a video example of this unfortunately, the one time I did it for an event (Ramp Rascals), it was not archived; so instead I'm linking a prior example of me on Lady Arcaders as a performer, doing a showcase of a different game!

The glitteriest, the girliest, and by god the pinkest Y2K shooter on the market, Don't Stop, Girlypop is a fast paced movement shooter for the the girlies! We play as Imber and tear our way through the Tigris Nyx corporation enemies who have come to exploit our home planet. (also you can put a shark on your gun and its awesome)

This is a roguelite DLC of splatoon 3 and we try to deal with randomness to get to the 30th floor of the spire of order. We have a choice of 3 levels in each floor and we try to get the best chips to help us throughout the speedrun.

I run the No Hacks category which is basically to not get any bonuses from Marina at the beginning of the run.

Slime Rancher is a cute and colorful indie exploration adventure game all about gathering resources and collecting different types of slimes throughout the many areas of a mysterious planet. In All Gordos, we must pop every single Gordo (giant boss-like slimes) before triggering the final credits. This shows off much more of the game than Any%, including areas only accessible via special teleporters that must be uncovered. All Gordos features tight routing, abuses multiplayer sleeping to farm resources and grow crops at astronomical speeds, uses the jetpack and large slimes to get on top of the world/out of bounds, plus all the skips and tricks that make Any% interesting! This run uses a community accepted mod to make the game multiplayer.

Claire a la Mode is a game by indie developer Colorgrave that continues the story of the Colorgrave cinematic universe. Centering around Claire, a baker in the game's universe, the game expands to feature a ton of different playable characters in a fast paced arcade style 2D platformer.

We play through Story Mode as Vivian, the fastest horizontal moving character in the game. She pinballs through levels at lightning speed. We run through all the levels of Story Mode, each ending in a boss fight.

Sonic Robo Blast 2 is a sonic fangame made in the Doom Legacy engine, that aims to make a game similar in style to the classic sonic games. This has an extensive modding community and a long history, having been in development since 1998. For this run, I'll be playing as our favorite trans Shadow Siren Vivian! Her movement is a lot of fun, with being able to chain veiljumps to gain a whole lot of speed, and you move even faster when veiling into downward slopes, or you can jump high by veiljumping out of upward slopes.

This is a randomizer of Mario Kart Double Dash!! that forces us to unlock cups, CCs, characters, and progressive upgrades such as speed and starting position. We start off the randomizer with only 2 characters, 1 kart, 1 cup and only 50cc. Characters are also restricted on which items they can use, and we can also unlock upgrades for certain karts!

In order for us to unlock items to progress through the game, we need to finish races, win races, win races with certain characters in certain karts and/or courses, find special item blocks, and so much more!

The goal of this randomizer is to gain 12 gold trophies, in order for us to gain them we need to win a cup in a certain CC. (Ex: Mushroom Cup in 50cc, Flower Cup in 150cc, Special Cup in Mirror cc.)

Max% is the true completionist category for Luigi’s Mansion, which requires obtaining every collectible in the game, even those that can easily disappear forever. Thousands of coins, bills, gold bars, and gems, all painstakingly collected on a single file through copious use of backup & safety saves to ward against bad RNG and sabotaging enemies. A nail-biting experience from start to finish.

Four experienced yappers showcase three of the games in the Jackbox Games franchise! One game about art, one game about speech and improv, and one game about typing silly quips-- this showcase has it all. Buckle up and join us as we do a comedy (or several!) and see what makes Jackbox Games so much fun to play with friends!

Dishonored, but if it was Vampires, and also Detective Noir. Awesome, right? That's what you get in this game, and I will do it very fast by flying through Seattle, dropkicking down the streets

Based on the 2007 Disney Animated film of the same name, Meet The Robinsons is an action adventure game where you play as Wilbur Robinson, traveling in his time machine, and trying to clean up the messes that he keeps making.

In the run we can overlap aiming our gadgets with various other actions to perform a variety of glitches. Clipping through walls, Air Walking, a Fast Walking Glitch, redirecting dragable objects. Theirs also a glitch that allows us to attach to moveable objects to Wilbur, using them to clip past walls.

DuckTales! Woo-hoo! In this sequel to the hit 1989 NES game, Scrooge McDuck and his family are on another quest for treasure. Search across 5 new locales with Scrooge to uncover lost treasure, and a hidden treasure map with its pieces scattered across the world.

Duck side of the moon is a short and sweet game about a space-faring duck named Doug who's trying to get home after crashing his spaceship, but manages to find home along the way instead. This speedrun features tight routing of resources and money all while helping out the cute rock people that inhabit the planet. It features many little snippets of different genres as Doug has to wear many hats (figuratively and literally) in order to fix his spaceship to fly home.

The best way I can describe Psilosybil is "what if Crash Bandicoot hated you the player." Specifically, it is a 3D platformer inspired by the mascot platformers of the late 90s, but with the difficulty turned up to 11. The category I will be running is a custom category I call Tower%, where I play every level up until the final platformer level of the base game, The Tower. This run is heavily focused around cycles, making sure that I hit the correct cycle to get through the levels as quickly as possible.

This is a speedrun to get the Ham-Ham's all back to the clubhouse for Boss to show off the new surprise he has in store for everyone! You will have to agree to do things and NOT do them, make silly jokes at other animals, and even help your friends at small tasks they need help with! It's a fun time and super cute.

Join Snoopy and the rest of the Peanuts gang in their newest adventure as they form the Great Mystery Club, the greatest mystery solvers anyone has ever seen. Led by Detective Snoopy, together the kids use their best exploration and puzzle solving skills to crack this dastardly case of the Phantom of the Concert Hall.

The rarest US horror game and the best FromSoftware game (objectively, I promise), Kuon is part Fatal Frame, part Demon's Souls, part Resident Evil. Complete with paper doggos and silkworm shenanigans. And ridiculous I-frames.

If you like crows and survival horror games you just might be a walking talking stereotype like me, but also you might like Crow Country! The theme park we're racing through as Mara Forest to look for Mr Crow where we'll do exciting things like boat rides, turning cranks, and firing just so many adorable caw'ing crow head grenades. Yay!

The cutest indie cooking game ever, Creature Kitchen has you cooking meals and snacks for the best furry friends! Including a raccoon, a dog, rats, and more! And yes, you can pet that dog. In Any% No Major skips, you'll be cooking food as fast as possible while experiencing time management, as you juggle meal prep, unlocking new areas, and keeping those rats and raccoon away from your meals!

Barbie Ocean Discovery is a mini game filled game. There is a lot of RNG in this so a run could be under ten minuets, it could go as a long as 14. What's so fun about it is that you get to enjoy 9 different mini-games. The point is to complete each one to unlock the next area until you finally finish.

WitchWay is a short and sweet indie puzzle platformer where you play as a witch who has fallen down a very large well, and need to solve puzzles, use magic, push blocks, and more to help her escape. In Any%, the player just needs to escape the well as fast as possible, as the various collectables aren't required for beating the game.

The PC runners for TSPUD have thoroughly broken level traversal in the past couple of months, and since I run on console, I have no access to any of that. Who even cares! I don't. Help me help Stanley escape his office, via weird hallways and memory zones and endless deserts. The run includes bits where you get to see my PS5 home screen, because part of the run means I have to close and open the game repeatedly. And there's a sequel inside of the game! Wow! And an epilogue? Weird. Anyway.

INCENTIVE (got an error message while trying to submit bonus):
~18m into the run, I go to the Sequel Content area. In the any% run, I leave without picking up the The Stanley Parable Reassurance Bucket :tm:. If the incentive is met, I'll take ~4m to grab the bucket before leaving.

Donkey Kong 64 is a collectathon style game from Rareware released in 1999. The goal for Any% is to defeat King K. Rool at the end of the game as fast as possible. I will only have 3 kongs, DK, Tiny, and Chunky since this is the fastest marathon safe route for Any%. We have to gain every move as fast as possible and get Key 3 and 8 to unlock the final boss and we do many sequence breaks to achieve this.

It's a really unique bullet hell, and the kind that we do not see often in marathons. The premise is basic but there's mechanics and secrets that keeps on giving when learning to score making it really interesting to showcase, especially when complementing with colorful and satisfying patterns to just admire. The hardest stuff on the game has yet to be beaten which is another incentive for players to get interested in the game!

Alien: Isolation is a horror game released in 2014 using first-person view. We follow Amanda Ripley, searching for informations about her mother Ellen Ripley. She has been missing after losing contact with her ship, as the game takes place just after the first movie. We'll try to retrieve the black box of the Nostromo, which seems to be in the spatial station called Sevastopol.

In this run, we'll follow Amanda during the first 4 chapters of the game and then... we'll play the last 2 chapters thanks to the Crouch Clip! We only go get the shotgun for the end but we completely ignore all the other items we should have to complete the game.

Muramasa Rebirth is the PSVita remake of the Wii game Oboro Muramasa, developed by Vanillaware. The game is a mix of tight 2D platforming and high-octane beat'em all action, where your character (among 6) sees their story unfold. Your goal is to see the story in question to completion using your fighting skills to wade through Edo-era Japan. I'll play as Okoi-Miike, a calico cat that took on the appearence and moniker of their now-deceased master for a small bout of revenge! I'll be focusing on travelling between the lands of Miikawa and Musashi to stop Wakamiya's dastardly plan.

Dark Messiah of Might and Magic is an ImmSim (First Person RPG) by Arkane Studios. In this game, besides the main overall plot of trying to decide the fate of the world in whether it falls to the Necromancers, the Demons, or the cult of the Seventh Dragon, there is a Love Triangle between the Priestess of the Seventh Dragon, Leanna, or the Succubus, Xana. Obviously, Xana is better. And if you choose her, you'll have to kill Leanna... Well, we can one-up the game and do that TWICE! That's what this speedrun is all about!

Professor Farton is back! Emma and Jill will be racing to stop The Scissorman once again! We had previously raced the Helen 100% category, this time we are back at it with the Jennifer 100% category!

Clock Tower features fun point and click mechanics and a chase and scare system. We are following a small cast of characters trying to stop the Scissorman from striking again! This is a direct sequel to the SNES Clock Tower game, but is confusingly named "Clock Tower" in the west, since the SNES game did not release there.

The Purple-Hair Powerhouse vs the Academic Underdog. The fighting game showdown you've all been waiting for. In this showmatch, Burtch and Jaidlyn will take to the sticks in a game of chat's choosing to see who will be crowned the (un)official "Queen of the Arcade".

Harness the power of music with your acoustic and bass guitars as you try to be defeat the evil Rick Riffson and his collection of musical hybrid monsters! Fretless is a gorgeous indie RPG that combines turn-based combat with deckbuilder roguelike and rhythm game mechanics. Packed with limit breaks, a healthy dose of RNG, a cute dog (that you can pet!), stunning boss designs, marathon-friendly routing, and lots of on the fly mental math, Fretless is an experience that's easy-to-follow and enjoy for those that are new to this charming musical world.

sapphire_in_pink vs mechamomo in a first playthrough speedrun of BirdGut! Neither participant has seen or played the game but will have to navigate their way to the credits as fast as they can. BirdGut is a weird and wonderful puzzle platformer that starts out easy but ramps up the difficulty by the end. Who will be the first playthrough race champion?

Titanium Court is a 2D match-3 tower defense game for clowns and criminals, made by a solo dev who wrote songs about salmon and ballet to put in his game.

In this category we attempt to leave the titular court as fast as possible, by obtaining 4 keys and unlocking the gates at night. We get to show off the gameplay loop of wars and nighttime and share a bit about the game lore.

Who wouldn't want to be a faerie queen desperately trying to escape an endless war while learning about baseball and day trading?

A set of two games consisting of a "remake" of Yakuza 3 alongside a new gaiden game starring Yakuza 3's main antagonist Yoshitaka Mine, showing what happened a couple of years prior to the events of the main game.

The goal is to beat the game as fast as possible on beginner difficulty, with upgrades, points and other items carried over from a previous playthrough.

This is a short showcase of Clone Hero, which is fanmade Guitar Hero emulation. This showcase features a variety of songs from various video games! The showcase shows off all the key Guitar Hero mechanics and ramps up in difficulty as it goes.

Assassin's Creed Mirage is the second most recent game in the Assassin's Creed series and came out in 2023. It follows Basim, who was a character introduced in the previous game Assassin's Creed Valhalla, in a shorter more contained story with lessened and stripped down rpg mechanics compared to more recent games like Origins/Odyssey/Valhalla/Shadows.

Valley of Memory is a free dlc for Mirage that was released 2 years after the game first came out in 2025 and added a whole brand new story expansion and new area and brought back a lot of gameplay mechanics from the older games that have been missing from Assassin's Creed for years like manual jumps and free back and side ejects. I would be doing the 100% run of the dlc which I actually fully routed out myself and was the first thing I ever personally routed on my own.

SAROS is a third-person shooter with roguelike and bullet hell elements. It is very similar to Returnal, the previous game of Housemarque. We play Arjun, sent by mega-corporation Soltari on the planet Carcosa, that they want to colonize and exploit. His crew has get news of the previous ships sent here. But the planet was hostile and full of mysteries.

NG+ All Bosses (Modifiers) is a category in which we will go fight the 8 bosses of the game in their own biomes. As we have completed the skill tree, and have all the abilities to progress in the levels, we can go straight through them. Modifiers allow us to boost our character and make some nice skips possible on several fights.

The Pokemon franchise currently has a total of 1025 creatures for you to catch and battle with. Do you think you can name them all? How fast do you think you could name them? Well Sapphire and I consider ourselves pretty knowledgeable on this subject and can name every single Pokemon released since it's inception in under 45 minutes without the use of silhouettes.

Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo is a "yoyovania" launched in 2025. Huge tribute to the 2D Zelda with some metroidvania mechanics, the game is full of humor and fun ideas. We play as Pippit, a bat who claims to be the master of yoyo. After her aunt being attacked by rivals, he will need to recover her soul that has been split in 5 pieces.

In this category, the goal is to reach the end as fast as possible without any restriction, with a new game file. That means we can use all glitches and techs to do it : zipping, jump resets, ufo chaining, transition warps...

The first of the two Clock Tower (or CT-adjacent) games by Capcom after acquiring the license, Clock Tower 3 is what happens when you combine a horror game about family problems with Sailor Moon. I am not kidding. There is magical school girl transformation sequences in this game.

Part Resident Evil, part Alien, all lesbian.

In the second chapter the mystery club gets into the meat and potatoes of mystery solving, the mystery of Shermy’s missing kites. In this chapter we unlock new areas on the map, collect all of Snoopy’s outfits allowing us explore the map to the fullest and showcase just how optimized it can be to find clues and possessions for the Peanuts gang.

Join Eggman, Shadow, and Rouge as they race against time to activate the ARK. We'll be skipping upgrades, clipping through walls, and quoting goofy one liners in the dastardly counterpart to Hero Story.

Lenna's Inception is an indie roguelike game with a big randomization factor. Almost everything in the game is shuffled up and spread across the island in random spots, and now Lenna must find all the tools she'll need to stop the "glitch" from consuming the entire island! In perfect ending, all the dungeons and side quests must be completed to acquire special items used to spare the bosses, allowing the player to reach the true final boss and stop the "glitch" once and for all!

Cassette Beasts is a monster collecting RPG mixed with 3D platformer where players use cassette tapes to transform into the monsters you fight as. Pier of the Unknown is the first major DLC to Cassette Beasts which adds the Brightside Pier location, complete with it's own major quest line that includes a lot of enjoyable platforming as well as 4 boss fights.

Small Saga is an indie rpg featuring a team of small rodents who, in typical RPG fashion, are on a mission to kill God. In this case though, god is an exterminator who threatens all of the rodent kingdoms. Verm, a mouse on a quest for revenge, is joined by Siobhan, a mole wizard with a lighter, Bruce, a squirrel bard, and Gwen, a pansexual disaster rat who also wields a medical scalpel. The speedrun itself features a lot of clever quick kill setups, taking advantage of some key pieces of equipment to kill bosses before they even get a chance to act.

Rock Band Blitz Ultimate is a fan-made mod for Rock Band Blitz that allows the game to be played in full without connecting to the now-defunct servers. Rock Band Blitz takes the songs from Rock Band and allows you to play them in an all new way, with just a standard controller.

What happens when your wife goes missing for 3 years...& she sends you a message to meet her in a middle-of-nowhere Louisiana house filled with mold & a psychotic family? We rescue her solo, of course! In this terrifying first person title, Resident Evil 7 showcases tons of neat sequence breaks, really cool boss fights & skillful quick menuing.

Resident Evil's Not a Hero DLC showcases the events following the main game with our favorite boulder-punching lad, Chris Redfield. The New Game Easy run is one of the more optimized categories, starting with a fresh game file and dashing through the salt mines as quickly as possible. Various time-saving techniques such as parrying, quick execution and impeccable timing make enemy encounters and boss fights a super exciting watch.

I do not like horror games.

However, I will do anything for the sake of charity.

HONK!!! Down-on-his-luck private investigator and duck Eugene McQuacken must solve crimes wherever he goes; rarely are those crimes what they appear to be at first! With Paper Mario-like visuals, influences from Return of the Obra Dinn and classic film noir detective stories, and plenty of silly puns, this game is sure to get a honk of approval from every viewer! And what's better than one mystery? TWO MYSTERIES! This category is one I created to showcase the full storyline of the series using the Any% routes of Secret Salami and The Ghost of Glamping. A double feature film noir detective story worth of being shown at any theatre (or speedrun marathon)!

Welcome to the Polycule Puzzle Platformer of your dreams! Join this Trouble Triad Travelling for Treasure as they uncover the mystery of the Sky Isles and save the world from an unknown threat, all with Smooching Action Fun!
Wendy, Izzy and Rosa will solve the mystery of the Sky Isles in record time! Nothing will stop the Gals from damage boosting, pizza munching and butt kicking their enemies to victory!

Star Collection is a focus-intensive, fast-paced speedrun challenging players to complete 59 Atari-inspired minigames styled after Atari's Yars Revenge (1982), and other Atari classics. The hacking minigames in this run primarily consist of major and minor upgrades unlocked through the story mode (and also Pong).

A-to-Z is a full story run of Yars Rising, akin to Any%, with the caveat of also collecting and equipping nine of the 44 unlockable non-mandatory upgrades, to upgrade our primary weapon, Zorlon Shot, with either increased damage or projectile speed; this run also includes the major glitch FIfE, used to sequence break and also as a safety net for boss fights.

This is a ~two hour showcase of a Stardew Valley Community Center randomizer! It's the same Stardew we all know and love, except all the items are in the totally wrong place! Want that starter fishing rod? It might be on floor 20 of the mines. Cauliflower seeds? Yeah, Clint is selling those in his shop for some reason. I'll go on a scavenger hunt that is never the same twice in order to finish as many Community Center bundles as possible within my time limit. This is a great showcase of routing on the go. I typically don't finish the whole CC within this time limit, but I generally challenge myself to get as far as I can and donate an amount to charity for whatever I can't finish. Everyone wins!

I will make this "marathon-safe" by having a friend "vet" a few seeds in advance and choose one for me - they won't tell me where anything is but they will make sure an important item isn't stuck somewhere that will mean a lot of boring grinding!

I'd like to showcase how you can win all of the cups in mario 64 by actually intentionally letting the computers get ahead of you. I'll show how you can use the game's rubber-banding system to your advantage and how to abuse the item boxes to make any lead the computers have into nothing very quickly

NiGHTS into Dreams is a whimsical game that takes place in the world made of dreams called Nightopia, and you play as two children who help NiGHTS defeat the evil Wizeman, who is threatening to turn Nightopia into a place of nightmares. In the speedrun, I take advantage of NiGHTS' boost mechanic, and also use skips in certain levels to make them go faster.

All Levels has us completing both Elliot and Claris' levels, which altogether is six plus the final level, Twin Seeds, which you only need to complete with either child.

Sonic Generations is a love letter to Sonic's history, from the Genesis era to the Modern era. Modern Sonic teams up with Classic Sonic to defeat Eggman and...Classic Eggman(?). In this game, we play stages from past Sonic games (Green Hill, Chemical Plant, Sky Sanctuary, etc) and also fight past bosses (like Perfect Chaos)!

Blaze% is a category where, using a mod, I play as Blaze the Cat instead of Sonic. Unlike most model replacement mods, Blaze has a higher speed and higher jumps that can reach farther. I will only be playing Act 2 of each stage, as well as the Modern rivals/bosses.

Simba's Mighty Adventure is an action platformer where you play as Simba, who goes through his journey of becoming King, and also protecting his kingdom from getting taken over. There are nine stages in all, each going through the events of both The Lion King and The Lion King II: Simba's Pride. The speedrun of this game is real linear, with no real heavy speed tricks.

Any% is get through all nine levels as fast as possible and defeat Scar and Zira. You do not need to collect any items to complete the game (such as paw tokens, gourds, and the S I M B A letters).

$0 to $10K by busking at the gym??? Goal amount can be changed depending on the time needing to be filled

The second game in the Amnesia franchise, one of the pioneers of the 'walking sim' horror games, and also considered one of the most disturbing horror games of all time... but we'll be skipping nearly all of the content by just jumping out of bounds as soon as possible and heading to each end level trigger as fast as we can. It's deceivingly difficult, and one of the most demanding games I've ever run, even though it looks like a quick pop through the wall and run kind of game!

Carmen Sandiego (2025) is a menus game with mini-game challenges. The game features you as Carmen, thwarting the evil organization VILE's plans, travelling the globe to gather clues, tracking their operatives down, and outsmarting illusive criminals.

ACME Files is a category that takes you through 5 different missions, with each successive case becoming more challenging. The game mode is a nostalgic tribute to the original Carmen Sandiego games, with a retro, pixelated 2D art style, and a similar gameplay loop to all of the previous games in the series.

American Idol for the Game Boy Advance is a rhythm game of all time. There's a lot of audio packed into a single GBA cart, there is a password save system, and if you lose a single round in Competition mode you game over.

Low% is a category that Crime has created in which you have to try to score the lowest possible amount in each level, but still get a passing grade to make it to the end of the competition and become THE American Idol. Missing notes greatly warps and warbles the vocal track, making the singing sound just awful.

In this 3 game run we will play through, Toy Story 1 on the SNES, Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue on PC, and Toy Story 3: The Video Game on PC.

Toy Story 1 is a very challenging 1995 2D platformer. We have limited hit points and lives, and lots of enemies and obstacles to avoid. We also have a couple of fun level skips.

Toy Story 2 is a 1999 3D collectathon. We need to collect 40 out of the 50 Pizza Planet tokens by doing Races, Defeating Bosses, Collecting 5 collectables for a character, collecting 50 coins for hamm, and doing a general Puzzle or Platforming challenge. The game is heavily movement focuses, with lots of techniques to speed us through the 15 levels as fast as possible.

Toy Story 3 is a 2010 linear platformer with 8 very different levels covering the 3rd movie. Dashing through the levels will be our fastest form of movement and we can also infinitely wall jump by pausing, allowing for some giant skips.

The goal for this category is to beat the game as fast as possible on beginner difficulty, while completing all 13 substories available in the game. While most of these substories are fairly straight forward, one substory requires the completion of a minigame/area unique to Mine called Survival Hell. Unfortunately for us, we can't simply brute force the dungeons in said area and need to get at least some of the treasures present to continue on; the downside is that the contents of said treasures are randomized even on subsequent *entries* of these dungeons, so we're not guaranteed to get exactly what we're looking for. Likewise, anything obtained within a given dungeon is only kept if it's cleared or escaped from; dying while in any dungeon will result in any items and money obtained being lost. Or in short: our biggest hurdle in this run is how fast we can complete a roguelite set of dungeons :')

This is an Archipelago Randomizer of Pokemon Emerald that takes all of the items in Pokemon Emerald, puts them in a pool, and redistributes them across the world. We could find a gym badge in a berry tree, we could receive a bike from a gym leader, or we could even find a rare candy in the hot springs at Lavaridge!

With the randomized items, this forces me to think outside of the box and forces me to take directions the game does not intend for me to take.

On top of the randomized items, all Pokemon are also randomized including their move-sets and abilities, forcing me to get creative when it comes to battling.

The goal for completion is to collect all 8 gym badges by any means necessary, and defeat the Pokemon Champion Wallace.

Stardew Valley is a hit indie country life RPG where you play as a farmer returning to your grandpa's abandoned farm to start a new life. Featuring farming, foraging, mining, fishing, and more, there are so many things to explore and unique goals to pursue! Level up skills and relationships to progress and unlock new things.

UnderwearSoup% is cooking crimes to the max! Mayor Lewis lost his purple shorts and instead of returning them to him, we use them to bring chaos to the village during the major summer festival! Featuring a new route and strategies due to the 1.6 patch, this is a silly but short category that will certainly draw attention. (Estimate is for a seeded run; would need about 30:00 if running unseeded)

Primarily taking place three years after Yakuza 5, the game follows Kazuma Kiryu who is on a search to figure out what happened to his adopted daughter Haruka during the time he was away in prison alongside trying to find the other parent of Haruka's kid, Haruto.

The goal of this category is to beat the game on Legend difficulty with upgrades, items and minigame levels carried over from a previous save file. Unlike standard NG+, we'll need to incorporate some of the routing from Any% into the run to get through a number of the fights as quickly and efficiently as possible (namely with grabbing attack boosting drinks).

You know her, you love her. It's Saga Anderson, God's most favorite FBI agent!

This is the other half of Alan Wake 2's main campaign. Saga Anderson investigates a series of cult murders in the area and towns surrounding Cauldron Lake, Washington, and ends up dealing with some pretty weird shit.

There are no OOB tricks and very few teleport-y zip skips, so this is almost a glitchless run. However, I believe the audience would enjoy the run and our commentary. Potential jokes and comments include "if this is alan wake then where is alan wake" and "why is she blowing up that old woman".

INCENTIVE: add Lake House, the ~16m expansion that dives deep into what the Federal Bureau of Control have been doing at Cauldron Lake for the last 13 years... I suggest this because CONTROL Resonant releases September 24, and it'll be relevant!
INCENTIVE: Karaoke with Ahti! In Chapter 3, there's a spot Saga can go to listen to Ahti sing a wonderful song about darkness and identity and lakes and things like that. I will sing along!! In public!! Live on air!!

Enjoy the weird and wonderful TTRPG heavily inspired by CONTROL and X FILES! The game itself has plenty of structure, but I've been given carte blanche by my friends the creators to do as much improv and rule twisting as I want. The showcase is meant to be an Earner, with incentives and polls and the like enticing folks to donate to change the game. As with the FF showcase, host will need to be heavily involved to understand when to cut in (built in host breaks). If accepted, showcase could be at the end of the day if a longer run is desired. If we need to go shorter we can. I just don't wanna go below 01:30:00.

One thing that has always drawn me into rhythm games is gimmick charts, charts that take the ordinarily very constrained and restricted march of notes down a lane and twists them a bit. Or a lot.
vivid/stasis is a rhythm game that it *loves* gimmick charts. From simple speed changes to charts with broken lanes and massive visual distortions that are barely playable, vivid/stasis has them all and it uses them gleefully, both to make some fiendishly difficult charts and to weave its style of rhythm gameplay into its adorable visual novel.
These are the charts that always grab my attention and make me want to play a rhythm game, and I would love to show them off to everyone

The estimate is very flexible if desired, down to ~30 minutes and up to about an hour

Lawnmower% is a category for the TUNIC randomizer mod, with the only objective being to cut down all the grass and bushes in TUNIC. All *6227* of them. It's a fascinating mix of on-the-fly randomizer routing to find all the items we need & a really intense speedrun to actually cut all the grass, requiring us to juggle remembering what items we still need, what grass is left, routing efficiently with our current tools, and making sure we don't leave a single piece behind in our quest to garden the realm.

Spin Rhythm XD is an EDM-based rhythm game with a unique core mechanic. Notes are played by spinning a wheel with coloured segments and matching colours on the wheel with the notes. There are 3 basic types of notes: match, tap, and spins; each has their own unique input method. XD Difficulty is the hardest standard difficulty in the game. It adds two new types of beats for a total of 7 types and commonly requires beats to be played at the same time as other inputs. Playlist length can be adjusted to take more or less time.

Max% is the true completionist category for Luigi’s Mansion, which requires obtaining every collectible in the game, even those that can easily disappear forever. Thousands of coins, bills, gold bars, and gems, all painstakingly collected on a single file through copious use of backup & safety saves, plus one more thing—I’ll be doing this entirely within the exceedingly difficult PAL Hidden Mansion. A nail-biting experience from start to finish.

A boss rush dexterity game where we play as two lesbian girlfriends who are hunting devils to pay the rent, each side of the controller corresponds to one character, we can attack and protect ourself with each one individually.

This showcase category is focused on gameplay exclusively, we fight all 16 bosses in a row without the story segments.

A story-driven boss rush dexterity game where we play as two lesbian girlfriends who are hunting devils to pay the rent, each side of the controller corresponds to one character, we can attack and protect ourself with each one individually.

This showcase category features both gameplay sequences and story segments, allowing to breathe a little between the intense boss fights and talk more about the (very cool) story.

Queen of treasure isle is a self described "simple" metroidvania from one of the great pixel artists online, Gobou. (Most people know them for their yume nikki pixel art animations, you can find them on youtube). Beneath the simple metroidvania it presents is a sprawlingly interesting game full of secrets, weird upgrades, amazing gags, and most importantly 15 queens who all have their own likes and dislikes you have to discover. If you figure all these things out (probably taking many, many runs; i have 50 hours in the game at this point!) you can play the game in very specific ways (never opening chests, refusing to harm certain enemies) and make the girls fall in love with you!

... Or, alternatively, you can do the exact opposite, and make all the girls HATE you by breaking their heart. Either way you get hilarious pixel art animations, awesome hype boss fights, and get to see all the depths of an incredible metroidvania. I'd be willing to show off either one of these.

The current speedrun (that i helped with) for the normal game is 2 hours 15 mins; this could easily be improved, but instead I'll be playing on ng+ where all items are found at the beginning of the run. This makes it way easier to get through the game, and could easily be accomplished in under 2 hours. It's a great run of a lesser known game that always has a few people going "wait, THAT gobou?" in response to it.
