Runner	Game Name	Run Description	Category 1	Category 2	Category 3	Category 4	Game Console	Status Comment
ZeroAlucard27	Mystic Defender	Traditional speed run of Mystic Defender.	Status: Pending any% 00:20:00				Sega Genesis
roncli	Sublevel Zero	Sublevel Zero is a 6 Degree of Freedom, First Person Shooter, Hardcore Roguelike by indie developer Sigtrap Games. This game requires a high level of piloting skill to be able to go fast, and features dangerous enemies and environments, and challenging reactor fights.	Status: Pending Any% 00:55:00				PC
Bematt	Hard Reset	Hard Reset is a fast-paced arcade style shooter. Runs contain a considerable amount of sequence breaking involving abusing the jump mechanics to reach out of bounds areas and abusing weapon mechanics to clear areas quickly. It should be part of the marathon because Hard Reset is full of entertaining tricks and gameplay. The game is only 7 levels long and the runs are very fast-paced. To my knowledge, it has never been done at an event before, and it would be a good addition to the schedule.	Status: Pending any% 00:45:00				PC
ColonelFatso	Mega Man X2	Another fast-paced action platformer with a lot of impressive-looking technique. Of key interest are the Strike Chain and Speed Burner, as well as certain boss strategies (infinite on Centipede etc.) I would be delighted to race anyone else submitting this game.	Status: Pending any% 00:38:00				SNES
nospimi99	Super Mario Sunshine	There are tons of cool glitches that are known in games but don't have any place in speedruns. Bingos not only get to showcase these glitches, but also demonstrate a runners knowledge of a game down to the tiniest details. In a bingo, 25 random objectives are laid out on a board and it's a race to complete majority of the goals before the other racer. Lockout Bingo is when one player checks off a box, the other can no longer check it. in 1v1 Lockout, first to 13 wins. Race with Sniperking19	Status: Pending Lockout Bingo 01:40:00				Wii
Gc4ever4001	Luigi's Mansion	Luigi's Mansion Any% No OoB is a straightforward category of the game where you get 40 boos and beat the final boss. The category is characterized by movement optimization, text skips, and on the spot RNG management. This game is not only a popular run on Twitch, but has been run and well received at GDQ's before. Any% No OoB is the only major category of LM that has yet to have been showcased at a GDQ. The run is also relatively marathon safe, as there's no money requirements unlike 100%.	Status: Pending Any% No OoB 01:05:00				JP Wii
Meridianprime	Tetrisphere	This run is done a couple of times at charity marathons before and with great success. The puzzle mode offers a unique way to look at tetris blocks as you try to clear them by dragging them all over the field. However this is now done solely on sound queues as the runner (me) will be blindfolded. Trying to raise awareness of blind people that still perform regardless of their disability to see the world. Donation incentive will be to clear as many levels without sound queues as well.	Status: Pending any% puzzle blindfolded 00:40:00				N64
Gedrith	Mega Man ZX Advent	Mega Man ZX Advent is similar to Mega Man ZX except for the fact that you use Model A based off of Axel from the X series. As you go through the game and beat the bosses you gain the ability to not just use their powers but turn into them. This aspect makes the run a lot different and entertaining.	Status: Pending any% (Beginner, Ashe) 01:07:00				Nintendo DS
MunchaKoopas	Runbow	Runbow is an indie platformer based around precise jumps and a unique color change mechanic. The background will have a set of rotating colors which will make anything in the foreground of that color disappear. This affects everything aside from player characters. Donation incentives include character choice and a best of 5 in the multiplayer race mode.	Status: Pending Bowhemoth 00:23:00				Wii U
Meridianprime	Bubble Bobble	Currently under de-rusting, but the dragons will blow off the dust with bubbles! Done this at ESA and NLG marathons. Completing the any% in a stunning 100 levels full of the best sound track NES had to offer. A good childhood memory willing to rejoice the retro gamers out there. Progress is made by the day.	Status: Pending any% 00:55:00				NES
JTB	Resident Evil 4	The Steam version of RE4 can be played in both 30 and 60 fps, but the run differs more than just framerate. 60 FPS features a more tense run due to more aggressive enemies, erratic AI patterns, and certain OoB not working. The tradeoff is a quicker run due to faster menus and load times, new strats that only work in 60 fps, and a newly discovered OoB that skips an entire auto-scroller section. This is a much different run than the one I did at SGDQ ’15 but guaranteed to be just as exciting!	Status: Pending New Game, Professional Mode (60 FPS) 1:45:00				PC
Svenne	Super Mario Bros. 2	Hello, it's me! I invented most of the current strats for this category. Such as the wrong warping and the mauserskip! Last time I performed this at a live event I got a 25:04 but I was bad back then! Cak got a 24:2X at SGDQ! :)	Status: Email All Levels 00:25:00				Nintendo Entertainment System	Please check your email.
Slurpeeninja	Mega Man 9	This category hasn't been seen since Duckfist ran it in 2012, and some new strats and improvements have been made. Potential for a bid war or donation incentive to choose first 8 robot master order as with buster only any one can be chosen.	Status: Email any% Buster Only 00:45:00				Nintendo Wii	Please check your email.
peaches_	Typing of the Dead	House of the Dead 2 repurposed as a typing game -- instead of shooting a gun, you type words quickly to destroy zombies. I can hit strides of 150wpm pretty easily so it translates well to speedrunning this game. Lots of silly phrases come up, especially in boss phases, so chat should love it.	Status: Pending Any% 00:35:00				PC
peaches_	Kid Chameleon	Notoriously tough Genesis platformer with sprawling level design that allows clever use of powerups to sequence break levels. This category uses a special in-game warp that skips half the game and is intended as a reward for speedrunning the first several levels without taking damage. This run has only been shown off in a bonus stream where I had half an hour to kill while my shuttle to the airport was on its way. It'd be nice to show it off without rush or rust.	Status: Pending 100k Trip 00:22:00				Genesis (Virtual Console)
peaches_	Catechumen	Spiritual first person shooter that plays absurdly fast relative to the power of the computer running it. Several triggers break due to the speed so the run requires rapidly changing video settings and staring at glistening angels to generate enough lag to avoid softlocking. Any% defeats satan on fledgling. Impossible difficulty run results in the Hall of Fame reward post-credits, which has a lot of entertaining mini-levels to exhibit.	Status: Pending Impossible+Hall of Fame 00:50:00	Status: Pending Any% (Fledgling) 00:40:00			PC
peaches_	Armored Core: Project Phantasma	Third person mech shooter by FROM SOFTWARE. The game has a huge glitch that allows you to fall through any floor, heavily sequence breaking several missions. I forgot to highlight my WR vod which had commentary and was about 2 minutes faster so I'll replace this video asap.	Status: Pending Any% 00:40:00				PS1 (ps2 w/ fds)
xKenneth	KZ-Climb	KZ-Climb, also known as KreedZ Climb, is a speedrunning game mod for Counter-Strike titles. It has a long history of over 10 years and we believe that many viewers of Games Done Quick will recognize and appreciate the run. The submitted category is PRO Run on kz_exps_cursedjourney. PRO run is a run done without the use of any checkpoints, and CursedJourney is one of the most difficult maps in the scene. Only 6 people has EVER PRO ran the map. This run will be extremely entertaining to watch!	Status: Pending PRO Run on kz_exps_cursedjourney 01:00:00				PC
xKenneth	KZ-Climb	KZ-Climb, also known as KreedZ Climb, is a speedrunning game mod for Counter-Strike titles. Many of the top players in the KZ scene has expressed interest in a LAN KZ race on CursedJourney. A TP run is low-risk, but having the pressure of racing against other top contenders will make this category super fun to watch. This will make for a great donation incentive. The race should be displayed with one streamed PC, and a knowledgeable caster controlling the camera.	Status: Pending Multi-race TP Run on kz_exps_cursedjourney 00:40:00				PC
doubletaco	Pause Ahead	Pause Ahead is a short, but very neat flash game by Asciisoft that encapsulates a great entry-level speedrun game. It's short, has a great hook, and has no RNG. A fantastic game for those looking to start speedrunning to hop into. Both Any% and All Secrets combined could fit into a 10 minute block.	Status: Pending All Secrets 0:05:00	Status: Pending Any% 00:05:00			Flash
Pessimism	Resident Evil 0 HD Remaster	Remaster of the GameCube game. We will be using Weskers dash as well as his eye attack. Alternate and tank controls will be used for precise movement. I hold the world record for the category.	Status: Pending Wesker Mode 1:15:30				PC
Madtaz64	Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts	Using custom premade vehicles to beat missions lets creativity shine and sets the run apart from most others. Trolley hovers (1:04:51) and laser fence grabs (21:35) allow for better parts early on for faster vehicles, and other tricks like spring bounce (1:43:40) break the game by exploiting the game’s physics. With and without intros are separate due to the 9 minute unskippable cutscene; can skip if wanted but my traditional smash 64 run during the intro is both a funny and impressive watch.	Status: Pending Any% (Without Intro) 02:10:00	Status: Pending Any% (With Intro) 2:20:00			Xbox 360
Bbforky	Whirl Tour	Sports game comparative to the Tony Hawk series. Showcases 8 different levels while defeating bosses, getting high scores, and destroying transmitters. Race levels show off speed boosts by manualing a down slope that gives insane momentum. Also scooters are pretty cool.	Status: Pending Any% 00:28:00				Gamecube
Twinge	Putt-Putt Saves the Zoo	A point-and-click adventure many remember fondly from their childhood, animation skips lets it be completed lightning fast. For a more entertaining run, I pair it with a rapid-fire explanation of the speedrun tricks used. Incentives include car color and a Zoo Song sing-a-long (+2min -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MCdaTK1BaU).	Status: Pending any% + Speedrun Explanation of the Speedrun 00:05:00				PC
Oblivion	Crypt of the NecroDancer	NecroDancer was ran at the last ADGQ and appealed greatly to the crowd. This year the community is hoping to showcase a race, and if not, still showcase the variety of play this game offers. Either of these will hopefully be a race with Mudjoe or Spootybiscuit. The other times NecroDancer has been run it was unseeded. This time it is being submitted as seeded to make sure racing is more fair, prevents blowouts, and that a death doesn't compromise time severely.	Status: Pending Cadence All Zones (seeded) 00:20:00	Status: Pending CoNDOR Triathlon 0:40:00			PC
Bbforky	Kirby Air Ride	Neat Kirby-themed racing game. This category focuses on a top down racing mode where several different objectives are completed throughout the run. 100/120 checkboxes are obtained to activate credits (essentially any%). 4 controllers are used for this run and many are swapped around at points in the run.	Status: Pending Top Ride 100 Checkboxes 00:35:00				Gamecube
Madtaz64	Super Smash Bros. 64	Mainly submitting to run during Nuts and Bolts intro. I usually run it during the game’s 9 minute unskippable intro during my attempts of N&B any%; the fast-paced action and quick adaption to random enemy patterns makes this a great watch. Beating it while running another game only increases the entertainment. Would be fine if another SSB runner takes spot as long as category is >9 minutes. Also a note about the video, Smash is only during the 1st 9 minutes, the rest being Nuts and Bolts.	Status: Pending Kirby 3-Stock Normal 00:09:00				Nintendo 64
iongravirei	Splinter Cell: Blacklist	sneaky co-op with Studio	Status: Pending any% co-op 0:50:00				PC
Dragondarch	Legend of Grimrock	Legend of Grimrock is a modern take on a dungeon crawler in the same vein as the Dungeon Master games from the 80s and 90s. 100% requires finding all the games secrets, treasure, Toorum's notes, and unlocking all Iron Doors. This run has very little downtime, and utilizes a party that is capable of dealing out good damage while being able to survive at lower levels than normal. While RNG is a factor, almost all bad luck can be overcome with proper backup strats.	Status: Pending 100% 1:45:00				PC
Pessimism	Resident Evil HD Remaster	Remaster of the GameCube remake. This game was ran at AGDQ, but I would love to show off my skills for the viewers. Alternate and tank controls will be used. I hold the world records for the categories submitted.	Status: Pending Jill Real Survival 100% 1:27:00	Status: Pending Jill 100% 1:26:00	Status: Pending Jill Any% 1:20:00	Status: Pending Chris Real Survival 100% 1:32:00	PC
360Chrism	Super Mario 64	Super Mario 64 Triple Bingo consists of a bingo board of multiple goals to complete within the game. The objective is to get 3 bingos on a board and defeat the final bowser. The board is displayed through a website called http://Bingosync.com . It is displayed beautifully for viewers to see and follow along with. Routing is on the fly. It's interesting to see the different routing of each competitor and exciting to see how close each bingo card comes down to! Race with Bird650.	Status: Pending Triple Bingo Race 1:00:00				Nintendo Wii VC
GravelCrusher	Kirby & the Amazing Mirror	Amazing Mirror is a very unique kirby game as it adopts a metriodvania concept as its playstyle. Any% goes straight to the bosses while selectively opening up shortcuts, while 100%, sometimes described as Super Star's "Great Cave Offensive on steroids," completes the map efficiently using a wide variety of abilities, especially Smash, Kirby's Melee move set. I am submitting to do single or co-op with swordsmankirby in either 100% or any%.	Status: Pending any% 0:36:00	Status: Pending any% co-op 0:36:00	Status: Pending 100% 1:45:00	Status: Pending 100% co-op 1:45:00	Gamecube Gameboy Player
MunchaKoopas	Shovel Knight	The indie hit is back. I am offering Shovel vs. Plague Any% as a bid war. Plague 100% collects all items and completes lots of areas not seen at GDQs. Custom Knight is a fast and fun new mode made possible by the Amiibo. It's a hybrid of Plague Knight movement and overpowered Dagger items. Custom Knight is played on Wii U. A few donation incentive options are available for each run.	Status: Pending Shovel Any% 00:55:00	Status: Pending Plague Any% 00:55:00	Status: Pending Custom Knight Any% 00:45:00	Status: Pending Plague 100% 01:28:00	PC, Wii U
Striker	Super Star Wars: The Trilogy	Just as the title says, this is all 3 Super Star Wars games done back to back to back. I have run all 3 games in previous GDQ's with solid times. The SSW games are known for their difficulty, and I feel that this is the marathon to finally have the 3 of them showcased together.	Status: Pending any% (easy) 01:45:00				SNES
Bird650	Super Mario 64	Super Mario 64 Triple Bingo consists of a bingo board of multiple goals to complete within the game. The objective is to get 3 bingos on a board and defeat the final bowser. The board is displayed through a website called http://Bingosync.com . It is displayed beautifully for viewers to see and follow along with. Routing is on the fly. It's interesting to see the different routing of each competitor and exciting to see how close each bingo card comes down to!	Status: Pending Triple Bingo Race 01:00:00				Nintendo 64
M_tt	Tony Hawk's Project 8	One of the later generations of Tony Hawk games, this game plays similar to it's predecessor American Wasteland, in that there's really no downtime and most of the run is through fluid motions. Estimate is a bit high, but with good gameplay, this will easily be under a hour.	Status: Pending Any% 01:30:00				Xbox 360
M_tt	Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5	This is the most recent (and as of this moment, last) Tony Hawk game made. It's everything you've heard and more. The physics (or lack thereof) of the game help to make huge combos, which makes this a relatively fast speedrun with a little bit of downtime. Submitting for Awful Games because honestly, look at it.	Status: Pending Unlock Mountain 01:10:00				Xbox One
GameJ06	Super Mario Land 1	You can't go wrong with the original Mario platformer for the Game Boy... Great Stereo Sound, The Can Can, great platforming and a short fast paced game. At just 12 total stages is a great watch with that nostalgic field. Submitting this as a race	Status: Pending Any % Race 00:17:00				GB
ed58	Metal Arms: Glitch in the System	Metal Arms is a 3rd person shooter and a level based game with a total of 42 levels. The majority of the levels are very short and under 1 or 2 minutes. This game is also marathon friendly because checkpoints are received automatically throughout the game. This game also has a ton of OoB sequence breaks for almost every level. One final mention is the PS2 version saves 30 minutes over other versions because of cut scene skips. (Not sure why the devs' did this)	Status: Pending any% 2:25:00				Playstation 2
GameJ06	Mega Man II	The ear-piercing goodness that is this game. This great game from the handheld series with its oversized sprites, immersion of MM 1 and 2 console bosses combined with the debut of Rush "Broken" Jet and screenwarps makes it a great watch for the Mega Man Lovers - Submitting as a potential for a race with any other MMII Submissions	Status: Pending Any % 00:25:00				GB
Domalix	Mega Man X 100%	Mega Man X is a great racing game no matter what category. 100% has a great exhibition of tricks and any% has an edge of your seat type experience throughout the entire run. 100% even has some tech that has never been shown off at a GDQ that I'm sure people would cause a lot of excitement if it happened.	Status: Pending 100% 00:40:00	Status: Pending any% 00:37:00			Super Nintendo
NME	Ducktales 2	This sequel to the classic NES title was featured at AGDQ 2015 and feels due to a comeback, this time with both the any% and good ending categories on offer. There have been significant improvements to the game in the past year and a half, including death warps and boss kill optimization that have really refined how this game is played. Perfect for the Disney block.	Status: Pending any% - Difficult 00:12:00	Status: Pending Good Ending - Difficult 00:17:00			NES/Famicom
Domalix	Mega Man X 2	This run has a lot of interesting movement tech utilizing the various weapons that isn't really apparent when playing casually. It is very fast paced and due to the nature of mistakes that can happen late game makes for an interesting and exciting race. Generally speaking racers would be close in time but there are many things late game that can cause lead changes.	Status: Pending any% 00:37:00				Super Nintendo
NME	Where's Waldo?	A ridiculous game that is a real crowd pleaser in my experience. The game is almost entirely RNG, but is so short that all the bad luck stacked up barely makes a dent. Can fit darn near anywhere in a marathon and can be played co-op with several different submitters to give more folks an opportunity for a game that has seen a pretty nice emergence on the leaderboards over the past couple of months.	Status: Pending any% - Easy 00:03:30				NES
stump	Pokémon Yellow: Special Pikachu Edition	We saw this game done glitchless at AGDQ; this time we do the game faster with glitches, with several used to set up for the Yellow-exclusive glitch that caps off the run. Features a Gengar jumping directly to level 100, a strange assortment of wandering sprites just before final wrong-warp setup, and blurred distinctions between Pokémon and items. The Gengar-fight-related RNG has a backup. Character and Pokémon names can be donation incentives. I intend to have others do most of the commentary.	Status: Pending Any% No Save Corruption 00:40:00				Game Boy Player on GameCube
SpootyBiscuit	Crypt of the NecroDancer	What better way for NecroDancer to return than an intense race between the best of the best? CoNDOR Triathlon shows off the three characters most commonly used in the Crypt of the NecroDancer Online Racing (CoNDOR) League's tournaments - Cadence, Melody, and Bard. Highly recommend only accepting this category as a race vs. Oblivion. Story Mode is recommended if a race is unwanted. Cadence All Zones works as a shorter alternative, and can be raced with any other submitter or run solo.	Status: Pending Cadence All Zones (Seeded) 00:20:00	Status: Pending Story Mode 00:40:00	Status: Pending CoNDOR Triathlon 00:40:00		PC
Madtaz64	Banjo-Tooie	What's skipped in Low% for the sake of minimalism adds difficulty and makes it stand out. Great workarounds include using Beak Bomb to kill flies instead of Egg Aim (11:50) and clockwork clipping through a door to set up the DCW (46:16) All Puzzles is a “middle” category that shows off a distinct route and unique tricks; setting it apart from its sister category No DCW. Highlights include DCWing to the room after Tower of Tragedy (45:26) and clockwork warping into TDL before opening it (1:04:40	Status: Pending Low% 01:05:00	Status: Pending All Puzzles 03:05:00			Nintendo 64
iam3dhomer	Spider-Man	Spider-Man for the SNES is a game I've been running for over a year. It's based on the 90s Spider-Man cartoon and has a lot of Spider-Man enemies from that show. Most people's experience with this game I think was with renting it as a kid and getting stuck pretty early on. This is basically just a routing run, no glitches or exploits are used. There is almost no RNG to deal with. The time estimate is very conservative. I own the record on this game which is 16:52.	Status: Pending any% 00:20:00				Super Nintendo
kottpower	Super Metroid	Any% race.	Status: Pending any% 00:48:00				Super Nintendo
IAmButPixels	Mario Golf	Mario golf offers the unique challenge of never being able to do the same thing twice. Because multiple RNG factors are included on each and every shot, this run requires the runner to be at the top of their game. Included is a video detailing every nuance of the game explained as if in a marathon setting. Category is 100% marathon safe and is purely skill based. Possible race. Incentive for character choice.	Status: Pending Any 1:00:00				Nintendo 64
Spoovid	Unravel	Unravel is a drop dead gorgeous game that takes a lovable character made of yarn through a tense journey. This event would be an awesome addition to SGDQ 2016 is because of the beauty that this game is built upon and gameplay are entertaining. Also the routes of the run are very creative and innovative as we watch Yarny travel through life threatening situations and solve puzzles as he is on his mission. The game also switches from slow to fast pace very quickly.	Status: Pending any% 01:34:00				Xbox One
KillerApp23	NES Open Tournament Golf	This run consists of completing all 3 golf courses in the game as fast as possible. Time starts after the button is pressed to start the first hole after the hole sign shows. when the putt is made on the last hole to finish a course, the game is reset and the next course in the run is chosen. Time ends when the ball enters the last hole and the sound is made of it going in. Run is quite RNG heavy and large time can be made and lost on every hole.	Status: Pending Any% All Courses 00:31:00				Nintendo Entertainment System
IAmButPixels	Mario Golf	All courses is a category that provides viewers the ability to see all six courses in the game played as optimally as possible with the best, and most difficult character to use in the game, Metal Mario. Every hole is uniquely designed and each offers varying degrees of difficulty, capping off with the special Mario Star course which is insane.	Status: Pending All Courses 1:10:00				Nintendo 64
The Blaze Jp	Trials Fusion	The PC Trials Community has taken feedback received from the last two trials runs at GDQ. This time round we are submitting an expedition of Custom Track Speedruns inspired by Popular past GDQ Games and Retro Gaming Classics. Speedruns of User created Content in the Trials Editor and Challenges from the career mode in Trials. This is a showcase that will be a blast for those who don't know Trials. The difficulty will ramp up as always with themed Ninja Tracks. Trials was Last at GDQ at AGDQ 2015	Status: Pending GDQ and Retro Games Theme Trials Expedition 01:30:00				PC
jkoper	The Legend of Zelda Randomizer	Recently highlighted by Kotaku, Zelda Randomizer has had 1000+ SRL races with 100+ unique racers. We propose a 2- or 3-way race between JamEvil, jkoper & myself. We put up consistent times, & the specific rom we use will be vetted for consistency & customized to reference GDQ memes. Donation incentives include file names, hero sprite, etc. Skilled commentary provided, & a visual tracker can be added for viewer engagement. Let's recapture the excitement of blind discovery shown by Mario Maker.	Status: Pending Randomizer Race 01:25:00				NES
Kungfufruitcup	Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards	Kirby 64 is a great N64 game that has the unique ability to combine powers! Using elements of fire, among others, Kirby eats the cutest enemies and gets deprived of picnics to go fast! Including fridge% as a fun and challenging run, as you have to complete each level without losing the power or else you have to go back and retrieve it before doing a level again. And if you need a great and enthusiastic runner and commentator, I'm definitely your girl :D	Status: Pending any% 01:05:00	Status: Pending fridge% 01:30:00			Wii: Virtual Console
Kungfufruitcup	Splatoon	Splatoon is the latest great multiplayer out for the Wii U at the moment, though not a lot of people know that it makes a great speedrun as well! Using your ink gun and sub weapons, you ink up walls, inflate sponges and destroy octo-baddies in your path! The run is very smooth and quick, and includes a giant area skip. This was ran at this past AGDQ, but it could make a great race or be shown again for more exposure as a speedgame! Plus a number of new strats have been found lately :D	Status: Pending any% 01:00:00				Wii U
jkoper	The Legend of Zelda	I once did not think that swordless 2nd quest was marathon safe, but as I was working on improving my record, I noticed that it was a lot safer than I thought, and there are easy backup strats if the route fails. Also makes good use of the book! I would rather do the randomizer race, but if not, revenge on Ganon would be nice.	Status: Pending Swordless 2nd Quest 00:57:00				NES
KevinDDR	White Water	White Water is a pinball machine released by Williams in 1993 during the beginning of the dot matrix display era of pinball. It has a great deep rule set with some extremely difficult tasks to accomplish for even the best pinball player. In this run, I'll be scoring a Vacation Jackpot, arguably the hardest feat in the game, as fast as possible. This task requires strategic controlled multi-ball and single ball play yet allows a lot of flexibility for a players' personal play style.	Status: Pending Vacation Jackpot 00:20:00				Pinball
Casusby	Kirby and the Rainbow Curse	Kirby and the Rainbow Curse is the spiritual successor to Canvas Curse, controlling mainly through the touch pad on the Wii U gamepad. This run doesn't abuse the level skip the game gives you after 4 deaths, playing all the stages to completion. There are some optimizations that come from using Amiibos and a 2P controller, showing off some lesser seen techniques (like buying amiibos).	Status: Pending Any% No Death Abuse 2:00:00				Wii U
Casusby	Kirby's Dream Land 3	Last featured at SGDQ 2012, KDL3 has improved immensely since that performance and it would great to show off those improvements. True Ending for this game means solving the mission on every stage to unlock the true final boss. I'm submitting this as a co-op run with swordsmankirby. Co-op allows the use of additional tricks, by-passing parts of levels, second chances at mini-games and more entertainment during slower sections.	Status: Pending True Ending (97%) 1:45:00	Status: Pending True Ending (97%) Co-op 1:40:00			Wii VC
NachoYacopu	Youkai Buster! Ruka no Daibouken	Cute SNES platformer where you control a teenage demon girl and the severed head of her demon boss in a quest to retrieve his body. This game has interesting mechanics thanks to your demon head funcioning as a vacuum, to suck up and spit out enemies and obstacles, and stick to surfaces in order to quickly navigate through stages. Good candidate for a WTFJapan block.	Status: Pending any% 00:30:00				Super Nintendo
Vulajin	Ori and the Blind Forest Definitive Edition	Moon released this expansion to Ori on Xbox One recently, rekindling the community's excitement for this fantastic platformer. Ori was already an amazing speedrun, but this version provides a new Dash skill that lets you zip around rapidly, making an already fast game look faster. While parts of this run are very similar to vanilla Ori, the addition of a new area, a new movement technique, and fast travel between save points results in some pretty noticeable differences in the run.	Status: Pending all skills no OOB 00:50:00				Xbox One
Gyre	Dragon Quest Heroes	This Dragon Quest spinoff is an RPG with a heavy dose of action and real-time team tactics. Using the Warriors series formula, you fight through hordes of monsters in the beautiful DQ art style to save the world. The run uses NG+ to show off the whole story without having to grind levels or equipment. Features loads of customization options, bonus boss battles, and character selections for bid wars.	Status: Pending any% NG+ 3:40:00				PS4
Gyre	Star Fox	The debut game in the Star Fox series was a technical masterpiece for the Super Nintendo and remains a classic in the 3D rail shooter genre. As a long time runner of the series I wanted to throw my hat into the ring if there’s interest in a race.	Status: Pending Level 1 Warpless 0:25:00				SNES
Bbforky	Tetris Attack	English counterpart of Panel De Pon that was the first in the Puzzle League series. Hasn't appeared at a GDQ since SGDQ 2011. Other series games of PPC ran at SGDQ 2014, and PPL at SGDQ 2015. Very less RNG dependent run compared to those two runs due to more exploitable AI and less survivability. A race between myself, CardsOfTheHeart, FFRPro21, and other candidates make an easy to follow along and entertaining run.	Status: Pending Very Hard 00:15:00				Super Nintendo

NachoYacopu	Final Fantasy III	One of the underdogs from this very well known franchise, this game can be broken in many amusing ways. No Credits Warp is a very interesting category because it shows off many glitches based around Glitched Jobs while still beating the game relatively fast for an RPG.

Breakdown	Ghostbusters	Who you gonna call? With the new movie right around the corner and the death of Harold Ramis not that far in the past, I think now would be a good time to have a Ghostbusters game hit the GDQ stage. And what's more, it's a run of a game that was actually well received and would prominently feature Egon (he's the character of choice here). All the conditions are right for this game to make a successful appearance, and the graphics style and enemy design should be a hit with the audience.

CartoonBuffoon	Super Mario 74 Extreme Edition	This is a difficult Rom-hack of Super Mario 64. The 10 star category is the "any%" of sm74ee and requires the use of multiple precise glitches in order to sequence break and beat the game early. 50 star, is a category which abuses sequence breaks to finish the game early, while still showing more gameplay and content than 10 star. This game has been ran and optimized for over a year now and is getting some really good times so the tricks in it are getting really hard, fast, and cool to see/do.

And just as he mentioned in his Submission Description, the race last AGDQ was fascinating but unfortunately, both runners missed one of the biggest tricks that was discovered last year.

In the All Story Missions category, we have to complete all of the missions that are required to finish the story line.

Overall a very enjoyable speed run to watch.	Status: Pending All Story Missions % 1:50:00				PC
tininsteelian	The Adventures of Mr. Bobley	This is probably the glitchiest game I've ever played. It's truly a spectacle of programming incompetence. Bobley can roll, but the developer forgot to disable rolling when the game is paused, allowing him to jump infinitely high. If you do this while under a roof, he gets launched at ridiculous speeds up in the sky, often directly to the loading zone of the next level. Bobley can also roll up walls, drive a car from the rear bumper, jump across a soccer field, and make an entire maze disappear.	Status: Pending Any% 00:22:00				PC
Jdog653	Pac-Man World 2	Pac-Man World 2 any % is a fun category with many exploits to take advantage of.

Since the SGDQ2012 run, the route has completely changed, resulting in quicker boss fights and movement, in part due to a large skip in one of the levels. I'm offering this as a potential co-op/multiplayer with Casusby--2P allows for some "warps," second chances at annoying minigames, and a joint final boss fight.

I am the current world record holder and have directly lead to all but one person on the leaderboard learning to run this game.

Grimelios	Guacamelee: Gold Edition	Guacamelee is a 2D Metroidvania with a colorful, humorous, Luchador-themed world. I think the Any% category is a great fit because of its length and consistency. There are a fair number of cool glitches and some very precise platforming and combat. I think the run is very watchable even for viewers unfamiliar with the game. Of particular note is that the final boss fight can be performed blindfolded. I think that would make a fantastic donation incentive and a great end to an exciting run.

The run will use two different primary Pokemon and finish about the same time, Blastoise (Blue) and Nidoking (Red) involving modified routes from the typical single game.

Prop-flying helps us to climb walls and clip through the map, load-warping lets us teleport between saves, vendor glitching buys us anything we could ask for and cover-sliding allows us to fly miles across the wasteland in the blink of an eye.

The tracks wind through dark, atmospheric cities, but because all of the buildings are solid, the tracks can be ignored in many cases in favour of driving along walls and rooftops in order to reach the goal faster. Jumping, rolling, flying, and nail-biting landings all contribute to an exhilarating run. Possible donation incentive for a community-made level showcase.	Status: Pending Adventure Mode 0:28:00				PC

The run has several differences from Joe's AGDQ run, which include bopping idiots with apples more than a few times to completely reroute some stages.

This category was created following a series of major glitches found for the Any% route, with the idea that All Skills, No OOB would be a safer, more stable route. The Ori community has more than doubled since AGDQ, and we're expecting it to grow again with the recent release of the Definitive Edition. The run is consistent and very beautiful.

No resets are allowed after getting super boost on first track. Fan Glitch is Banned.	Status: Pending All Tracks High Score 01:15:00				Nintendo Gamecube
daddypnot3d	Fester's Quest	This is a game I have played all my life but it never seems to be on SGDQ!! The run is fairly simple. I abuse a glitch within the game to instakill the bosses. Would do a race if anyone else wants to run. There is a chance of softlock on the end boss, but it is literally 1 second from the end so times will not be affected either way.

Countdown42	Disney's Aladdin	Aladdin is a deceptively precise platformer which mainly utilizes the pumping of Aladdin's sheet, which pushes you forward two pixels per use and increases your general speed by 10-15%. The run has several differences from Joe's AGDQ run, which include bopping idiots with apples more than a few times to completely reroute some stages. A race with Ribbed "Vet Trin" Killa, Patrick444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444, and Joseph Da Millio would surely be a hit with the fans.

I beat the first four worlds using only the required stages (plus one) and stop after the world 4 final boss. My submission is 2:21:10.64. It is faster than Any% because I don't have to go through every single stage. It is just a fun game that I do quick. I might have submitted this twice, so OOPS if I did.

It showcases step manipulation, Relm's sketch glitch, (which is both used to amass a bunch of powerful items and equipment), as well as wrong warp into the World of Ruin. Another side effect of this glitch occurs when attacking with our newly equipped Goggles relic, to instantly vanquish foes in Kefka's Tower. Kefka dies in one swift party wipe, which ends the run with a bang. Possible race with LCC and bichphuongballz.	Status: Pending any% Sketch 4:00:00				SNES

The game features the player as Aya, a journalist, dodging projectiles, and using her camera to absorb projectiles and take photos of the boss.

FlipSide208	Super Metroid Project Base	A romhack of Super Metroid that introduces a new colour palette new mechanics and as a consequence new sequence breaks and tricks.

Among these glitches are: save teleports, cutscene skips, abuses of the level-up system, and menu exploits.

5exual_Tyrannosaurus_	The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim	Using an infinite sprint glitch we are able to coast through most of the main quest rather quickly. This run also features clipping and flying with buckets to skip almost half of the games quests and a pretty length final dungeon. And by abusing the games poorly designed menu system we are able to duplicate one of a kind weapons to beat the final boss at level 1. Pretty recently we added marriage to the speedrun to speed up an unskippable cutscene. So should be an entertaining watch.	Status: Pending Any% 00:48:00				PC
RaindropDry	La-Mulana (Remake)	La-Mulana is a famously difficult metroidvania game where you, as an archeologist, have to explore the ruins, solve riddles, puzzles, and finally, save mankind.

FlipSide208	Metroid II: Return of Samus	Samus Aran's adventures have been showcased in many past GDQs but never her first trip to SR388. In Metroid 2 you are ridding the galaxy of the Metroid threat. Several, now common items made their first appearance in Metroid 2. There are several techniques that are used that are unique to Metroid 2 that make the run an entertaining and sometimes tense run, While never in a GDQ prior it has been in numerous community marathons to a great success and it would fit wonderfully with a Gameboy block	Status: Pending 100% 01:05:00				Gameboy Player

New Game Minus, a glitched version of new game plus, let's us use some of these new found glitches to shave nearly 10 minutes off of the regular any% route (in addition to time saved by not running Catwoman DLC). Breaking out of cutscenes and animations, out of bounds, zips across the map and more are found all through this run, making it a great watch. Also, who doesn't love Batman?

ArcanicEight	Boson X	Boson X is a charming and simple game where you essentially run inside of a large hadron collider in order to gain energy to discover new particles. Movement is reminiscent of Frequency and Amplitude, early Harmonix games. It can be a trippy game to watch. This can fit most anywhere in the schedule, especially if it's an Any% run. If allowed, I could even sneak Any% into my Dead Rising 3 run for a nice Speedrun turducken, or something to that effect. SCIENCE!

Totalled	Tom and Jerry (Gameboy Color)	This game is a really bad platformer with difficult to handle controls. The routing is very precise, however, it allows room for error. Due to the Bonus Screen and card game, there are times for donation comments to be read. All Levels is the main category, requiring all levels of the game to be completed, allowing the audience to see a complete view of every single aspect. The run shows off many glitches and tricks, and if time allows, I would show off an incredibly difficult 1 frame trick.	Status: Pending All Levels 00:17:30				Gameboy Player

SUPERHOT features AI that sometimes works, hitreg that sometimes doesn't, and a heap of badass moments. Any% features the entire story of SUPERHOT, from start to finish. Katana% features most of the levels from the story with no cutscenes, and the only weapon you have is a katana.

This is intended to be a race with other Tetris the Grand Master players from the TGM Crew.	Status: Pending TGM1 Race 00:13:00				Arcade
feasel	BlackThorne	Prince Of Persia with a shotgun. I'd recommend this game to anybody; it's fantastic. A throwback to the days when Blizzard had to make a variety of good games in order to stay in business. I plan to have someone join me for commentary because there are so many glitches and skips that I can't possibly explain it all while staying focused. This is the hardest run that i'm submitting -- the movement mechanics are extremely complicated if you're trying to do all the rooms optimally, which i plan to.	Status: Pending Any% 00:57:00				SNES
feasel	Cool World	Ocean software made a lot of laughably terrible movie-based games. This one is a total gem that clearly shows why Ocean has the reputation it does. The levels have a fair amount of variety, the music is catchy, and Brad Pitt has never looked so corpulent. It's not a very difficult speedrun, so there's pretty much 0 chance anything major will go wrong. Just sit back and watch colorful scenery and creepy enemies while I play this delightful and cozy game for you in the middle of the night.	Status: Pending Any% 00:25:00				NES
ScreamingPIZZA	Fast Racing Neo	A nauseatingly fast and brutal futuristic racing game in the style of F-Zero. Hero Mode 100% is an intense category thanks to harsh AI, altered gameplay mechanics, and strict winning conditions. Run ends when all 16 tracks are completed.

I can make it safe by grabbing extra health, which isn't really out of the way. It's a notoriously difficult game because the controls are awful and it's hard to find all the hidden zones.

The whole run is marathon friendly due to 1 ups that can be collected along the way.	Status: Pending Any% 00:14:00				NES
LackAttack24	Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars	The game has been revitalized thanks to a new route by Claude that utilizes the ability swap glitch and introduces a much stronger Peach character and even a pink Geno to the route as we say goodbye to Mallow after about 45 minutes.

Sam can move quickly, but the higher difficulties require fast reaction and solid gimmicks to keep him alive. The non-lethal route keeps the game from turning into a run 'n' gun that is minimally faster, but significantly less interesting. Coop is a different story and is much goofier, with a lot of the fun in the dumb mini-games as well as how chaotic the game gets with two players.

All Castles is a very technical category that features several tricks not seen in any other run. Tricks such as duplicating Yoshi wings and cape abuse combined with its shorter length mean this category is a very fast-paced and fun watch. No Starworld is the warpless category of this game, with a route that goes through the game as quick as possible without any shortcuts. Submitting as a potential race.

The battles are similar to Mystic Quest in that they show on the map, but all the battles are scripted. Very little RNG is involved in the run. The game has good music, as well as very comical enemies. Both the developers, as well as Tycho from Penny Arcade have agreed to do commentary on the run. An incentive for All Characters can also be added, which would add about twenty minutes to the run.	Status: Pending Any% 01:30:30				PC

Poochy.EXE	Tetris the Grandmaster 3: Terror Instinct	Sakura Mode is perhaps the most unique mode in the TGM series. It's a puzzle mode which gives the player a preset sequence of pieces to clear preset layouts in each level, so the whole mode can be routed since there is no RNG whatsoever.

It's a very entertaining run to watch; you can super jump, go OoB, skip large portions of most levels, and exploit many of the game's mechanics (such as the bullet-time's janky slowdown effect). Fast loading screens ensure constant game play and little downtime. Average run time is consistent due to the ability to quick save. "Dead on Arrival" is the hardest difficulty.

This run has high octane thrills and chills, as we spend most of the run at very low hp, hitting for tons of damage (oh and we skip some bosses/levels with OoB tricks). Uses the sorcery route and nukes stuff from a distance (with some use of melee). Spooky areas will give viewers goose pimples. The run is marathon safe with the use of item duping.

saintmillion	Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace	The Phantom Menace is an awful game and movie. HOWEVER, the game happens to be completely busted in a good way for speedrunning. If you’re sick at jumping into walls, then this is the run for you, as we’re able to clip through many walls/floors/ceilings in this game. Bottom tier voice acting is bottom tier. There’s also an Infinite Saber Glitch making tough enemies die comically fast. (Sorry for muted VOD, blame George Lucas)	Status: Pending any% 1:10:00				Playstation
saintmillion	Hitman: Blood Money	The best Hitman game in the series. Missions have a lot of variety in terms of location and there are many different ways to complete your objectives. Optimal strategies rely on some RNG, but this game allows for a lot of other funny/entertaining/consistent ways of hitting targets. The run is played on the hardest (Professional) difficulty and gets Silent Assassin ranking on every mission (hence, PRO/SA).	Status: Pending PRO/SA 00:40:47				PC

Knuckles is the most broken character, having skips for 4 out of the 13 levels in the game. His gliding, climbing, and punching abilities make him stand out from the other characters. The estimate is very conservative, because Knuckles's biggest skip, while very impressive, is also very risky and dangerous.	Status: Pending Knuckles 0:23:00				Gameboy Advance

Gymfreak739	Mega Man ZX Advent	ZX Advent is one of my favorite games to speedrun due to its fast pace. In this game, instead of copying an ability of the bosses you face, you can turn into the boss itself! This creates for great routing of what forms to use for each part of the game. Because of this game's extremely low amount of RNG, this game makes for a very good race.

The environments themselves are varied with a few having noticeably different physics.

As Stepmania was such a success last year I believe Guitar Hero would be a great addition!

Dragondarch	Legacy of the Wizard	Legacy of the Wizard has seen some major route changes since the race at SGDQ12. RNG manipulation allows us to guarantee scroll drops, making the run much faster than before (max scroll speed is 6 pixels per frame), though the manipulation is very precise. More manipulation is possible, but needs careful research. I've also implemented a couple safeties to reduce the chance of late game deaths.	Status: Pending Any% 0:35:00				NES

Unfortunately there's no avoiding a few of the grinds, but none are over-the-top long, in addition to there being very little downtime in this game. The route itself is also quite safe, having only one point where a death would cost any noticeable time.	Status: Pending Any% No Wild Warp 1:15:00				NES

In Minigame Island Any%, your goal is to win the final Toad race, completing all minigames along the way except for World 5 which can be skipped. There are lots of neat optimizations as well as some RNG which should make the race interesting amongst runners. Submitting with P4ntz, 360chrism, and Kaahlan.

Luke994	Klax	Klax is a computer puzzle game with an objective to line up coloured blocks into rows of similar colours to make them disappear. The game isn't very well known in the speed-running community, but as it involves high speed thinking and sorting (similar to Tetris) which causes very intense situations, it would be a great game to showcase. SWFCjoel and I (Luke994) would like the opportunity to race Klax at the games this summer! We have the top two times in the Klax community.	Status: Pending any % 2 player Race 00:45:00				Sega Mega Drive
Studio	Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD	More of a backup to Coel625's run, the any% route is very different from the previous all bounties run, and both the XBox and PC version are incredibly broken.	Status: Pending any% 01:00:00				PC
Nerd_Squared	Outlast	Outlast has appeared at 2 previous GDQs with a good reception,and I think this would be a good run to bring back Outlast for another marathon. While this run skips less of the game than the All Chapters category done before at GDQs, there are still a plentiful amount of glitches and skips along with a lot of small movement optimizations throughout. As of this marathon I will have speedran this game for 2 years,so I think this run will be a good showcase of my skills at this game.	Status: Pending No Out of Bounds 00:55:00				PC
bichphuongballz	Final Fantasy VI	Final Fantasy VI is, and always will be, a strong and popular FF. While the game has gotten exposure over the years, one category that has not been seen at a GDQ yet is the sketch category. The run does share similarities with other categories, but once we get Relm, the game changes dramatically. The use of the sketch glitch is a fun visual watch, and allows for unique ways to get through end game content that folks may not have seen before. VOD was unfortunately split into 2 by twitch.	Status: Pending any% sketch glitch 04:05:00				SNES
Studio	Bad Mojo	So, this is Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis meets ‘90s FMV video game meets weird adventure exploration and what a ride it is. This is a cutscene run that shows off enough of the game to be interesting, but still finishes the puzzles quickly. Possible donation incentives for the ending, though the Gilligan’s Island finish is by far the best.	Status: Pending Cutscene% 00:50:00				PC
Diamond	Sonic Colors DS	The third game in the Sonic Rush series. Rush series runs are generally pure speed, and this game is no exception. The addition of air boost makes even more cool skips possible. Certainly a good watch.	Status: Pending any% 0:35:00				Nintendo DS
HerculesBenchpress	Castlevania: Dracula X	Drag X is a relatively short game. However, it has really interesting movements and copious amounts of backflipping. The game gives very few invincibility frames making movement a major focus as well as health management. While my run is less than 20 minutes, there are some stages that can go wrong and cause some time loss along with boss RNG.	Status: Pending Any% catacombs shortcut 00:30:00				Super Nintendo Entertainment System
true faith	Goldeneye 007	I am currently the world champion of Goldeneye 007 and I would love to do a 00 Agent race alongside 1 or 2 other Goldeneye runners the likes of which have never been seen in a GDQ before. The run would use many "yolo" strats and would be more of a show of skill and disaster management than in past runs at a GDQ. Dont fear the lookdown, this will be a race worth watching!	Status: Pending 00 Agent 00:45:00				nintendo 64
Thursday	Twilight Princess HD	recently TP has gotten a nice graphical overhaul and looks incredible. The game has been in the marathon before but never like this, and TPHD is a recently launched game so it is sure to generate viewers and donations.

Guffmagruff	Psychonauts	Feast your eyes on this handsome 18 year old manchild as he attempts physics-bending, death-defying feats of rhythmic button pressing. Over the course of the session, you can expect varying speediness of gameplay and copious amounts of holding the joystick up. The run will also showcase impressive abuses of the game's mechanics such as bunny-hopping, animation-based movement, and rolling.	Status: Pending any% 1:10:07				PC
Tomtron	Bomberman 64	Bomberman 64 uses lots of bombs jumps to get to places in much quicker ways than usual. Any% takes advantage of this to complete levels in less than half the target time for the levels. Hard mode changes the physics as well as enemy and boss movement speed. 100% shows off lots of ways to collect items much quicker than intended as well as the secret level and good ending. Full Power gives you full radius remote bombs from the beginning of the level. Any% categories race or solo, 100% solo run	Status: Pending 100% 01:59:59	Status: Pending Any% 00:30:00	Status: Pending Any% Hard Mode 00:30:00	Status: Pending Any% Full Power 00:28:00	Nintendo 64
Fitaurus	Battletoads in Battlemaniacs	This run is a straight-forward Solo Any%, with no glitches and minimal skips, that focuses on clean play and thorough knowledge of the game levels. Battlemaniacs should be in the marathon because it is a game that isn't often represented / run in marathons. Having minimal skips, the entire game is showcased, so it is an entertaining way to see the game from start to finish for viewers, whether they are familiar with the game, or seeing it for the first time.	Status: Pending Solo Any% 00:22:30				Super Nintendo
Yoshipro101	Glover	Last seen at AGDQ14, All Main Levels means I don't clip into any bosses early, and 100% requires collecting all the "garibs" (cards) in every stage. The main method of movement allows me to gain ridiculous speeds and make crazy bounces that would otherwise be impossible. A flying chicken, a dinosaur with a jetpack, and Frankenstein's monster all make cameos also. Which makes this a great run for the whole family!	Status: Pending 100% 01:30:00	Status: Pending All Main Levels 00:33:00			Nintendo 64
Aquas	Surprise Attack	Surprise Attack is a side-scrolling Arcade game from Konami, 1990. It is a hybrid of Rolling Thunder and Shinobi games set in space, with an emphasis on clearing stages fast. When you beat a stage quickly the game displays the message: "HI_SPEED DUDE". I intend to play this through MAME (arcade emulator) with an arcade stick, as it runs perfectly on it. It has no console port and I can't afford a Supergun and Arcade board.	Status: Pending any% 00:15:00				PC
Shaddex	Two Worlds	Two Worlds is a ridiculously hilarious and broken speedrun. In Any% we go to the first village and attack the final boss. We manipulate him into attacking a villager, then sit back watch him die, triggering the final cutscene. In AMQ we use a variety of techniques to quickly skip through the main quest such as horse teleporting, AI manipulation, sneaking, jumping/falling over gates, and clipping. Both categories have had an overwhelmingly positive response at past marathons.	Status: Pending All Main Quests 01:10:00	Status: Pending Any% 00:03:00			PC
Cubeface	System Shock 2	System Shock 2 hasn't been done since SGDQ 2014, and there's been some routing changes over the years. It's an incredibly broken speedrun of a usually quite long fps rpg, and would go along well after FearfulFerret runs the first System Shock. The No OoB category is only slightly less broken, but does show off some more of the game.	Status: Pending Any% 00:18:00	Status: Pending Any% No OoB 00:25:00			PC
Crak Atak	Mega Man X7	Yes, this game is regarded as the worst mmx game. Yes, there are those of us stupid enough to run it. Silly/awful game submissions. The NG+ category of this game allows all 3 characters to be equipped off the start with upgrades such as hyper dash or increased damage. I recently got the record for this category playing on the PC version so I can play either version no problem. Would be willing to race Infinitemystery and/or PeterAfro. Can also do as a solo run.

Plasmid Jeff	Call of Duty: Black Ops II	This submission is for Wheelio's and Plasmid Jeff's Origins Easter Egg speed run. This is a fairly short run of the Zombies mode in CoD. We will showcase the fastest time for a 2 player category, and how zombies can be considered different from the rest of CoD. A speed run like this is worth trying in a marathon because I think CoD should have one chance in the spotlight, and Zombie speed runs has to be the way to go.	Status: Pending Zombies: Origins 2 Player Easter Egg 00:55:00				Xbox 360
Wheelio	Call of Duty: Black Ops II	COD is seen as a speedrunning game that is not suited for a GDQ. Well from a previous GDQ runner myself, I feel the category I am submitting makes it more than capable of being an amazing showcase and would be an excellent debut of Call of Duty at a GDQ. With COD zombies, it keeps constant action, slaying zombies and completing the Easter Egg. The video linked will hopefully aid in the judgement of accepting the run as we provided a good view of how the commentary would be.	Status: Pending Zombies: Origins 2 Player Easter Egg 00:55:00				Xbox 360
Miror A	Super Paper Mario	Super Paper Mario is terrible for speedrunning when using the optimal route. However, an outdated, 3 minute slower route, that doesn't require preforming a difficult glitch that almost always results in resetting 15 minutes after starting, makes this game enjoyable. Many boss fights are done quicker then one may expect via the use of items, and a several cutscenes are skipped because of a glitch known as Thudley Jumping.	Status: Pending Any% 4:45:00				Wii
SuccinctAndPunchy	Freedom Planet	This game was well received last SGDQ and the route and quality of play has only gotten better with time, with flashier tricks, vastly tighter movement and more game-breaking skips with more entertainment value than ever before. It's fast-paced, it's flashy and would go over great at the marathon. Offering a race of this category with Fladervy.	Status: Pending Any% Lilac 00:50:00				PC
tapioca	Serious Sam: The First Encounter	Serious Sam is a respected series of FPS games about fighting tons of enemies in wide open spaces. TFE is the first game in that series. In the Tourist speedrun, we'll be using enemies and cannonballs to push us over walls, through doors, and out of bounds in many different ways.	Status: Pending any% Tourist 00:50:00				PC
BubblesDelFuego	Fallout 4	Fallout 4 is riddled with a plethora of glitches and sequence breaks that are both mind blowing and insane. Item climbing, load warping, power armor clipping, and flying across half the map in five seconds(just to name a few). I have ran the game since the week it was released, and the current route is a great collaborative effort of a very talented and dedicated handful of runners. All top players are guaranteed to drop their PB's by a few more minutes and bounce the WR around before the event.	Status: Pending Any% 01:10:00				PC
garbanzoguy	Bubsy 2	This is the second entry in the infamous series. This is probably the least cruel of the series, because you actually have a health bar. I believe that this game makes a good speedrun, because you can move quickly when you know the routes for each level. There are also lots of lives that you can obtain without losing too much time, to make the run marathon-safe.	Status: Pending any% 00:22:00				Sega Genesis
truman	Super Mario World	A GDQ staple, Super Mario World is a well-loved game that is relatable to all audiences. All Castles is a very technical category that features several tricks not seen in any other run. Tricks such as duplicating Yoshi wings and cape abuse combined with its shorter length mean this category is a very fast-paced and fun watch. No Starworld is the warpless category of this game, with a route that goes through the game as quick as possible without any shortcuts. Submitting as a potential race.	Status: Pending Any%, No Starworld 00:37:00	Status: Pending All Castles 00:40:00			Super Nintendo
authorblues	Journey to the West	Basically, since Dragonball is based on Journey to the West, and this game is too, this game is practically a Dragonball video game (that's pretty much science right there!). This game is a Chinese bootleg Famicom game that is actually fun to play and challenging to optimize. Play as 3 characters: monkey, pig, and lumberjack. Brossentia said this game was bad, but what does he know?	Status: Pending Beat the Game 00:12:00				NES

Linkus7	The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time	Ocarina of Time is a glitch heavy and popular speedrun. Any% No Wrong Warp is a great category because it really shows off the diffrent things we can obtain and do with reverse bottle adventure (RBA). To my knowledge Any% No WW has never been in a GDQ event before.	Status: Pending Any% No WW 01:00:00				Wii: Virtual Console
Puncayshun	Super Mario 64	Super Mario 64 is a fan favourite at GDQ events. This time we are fortunate to have a handful of top tier players attending the event. We wanted to capitalize on this by having a 9 person relay race. There will be 3 teams of 3. 1 person from each team will complete a 70 star run, a fast paced category showing off the quickest stars in the game. The other 2 will split a 120 star run, this category shows off the entire game using complex movement mechanics not seen in any other categories.	Status: Pending 70 & 120 Star relay race 2:50:00				Nintendo 64

SniperKing19	Super Mario Sunshine	Super Mario Sunshine Lockout Bingo is an unorthodox race category where you’re not running against the clock, you’re fighting against your opponent. It’s a chess match speedrun. 25 in game objectives are put on a 5x5 bingo board and it's a race to check off the majority of objectives by the time the whole board is cleared. Once one player claims an objective the other cannot, hence the term 'lockout.' The competition and intensity makes it a great marathon pick. My opponent would be Nospimi99.	Status: Pending Lockout Bingo 01:40:00				Nintendo Wii
Dracokon	Ivan "Ironman" Stewart's Super Off Road	Game has never been featured at a GDQ event before. SNES port of Arcade hit, SNES version is most faithful to the Arcade original. Lots of short, quick races. RNG-heavy game in regard to item drops & sometimes AI behavior. My best is about 19 mins, I'm formerly the WR holder in this game (now held by d0re). Run is mostly safe in the way of RNG, unlikely that the run will need to be killed due to bad RNG or user error.	Status: Pending All Upgrades + 99 Nitros 00:30:00				Super NES
TheLPGinger	Frogger 2: Swampy's Revenge	Frogger 2 finally reveals to us who keeps taking the baby frogs, and its the alligator Swampy. Frogger has to hop to it and rescue 75 baby frogs through 16 levels in less than 35 minutes! This run requires quick and precise inputs, memorization of cycles, and the new double jump feature! The double jump lets you jump farther, higher, to places you shouldn't jump, and even change direction in mid air! With plenty of backup strats & cycles in the back pocket, the run is sure to not croak!	Status: Pending Any% 00:35:00				PC
BubblesDelFuego	Mega Man Legends	Mega Man Legends is such a colorful, technical, and optimized speedrun that has been considered one of the top classic Playstation titles. A very difficult game, and watching a run of this is not only impressive, but also very nerve wracking and exciting. High risk gameplay combined with crazy damage always makes for an awesome watch, and I would love to represent this game as it makes its first appearance at a Games Done Quick event.	Status: Pending Any% (Normal) 01:07:00				Playstation(J)
Qlex	Tetris The Grandmaster 2 PLUS	The Absolute Death Mode is fast Tetris. The first half shows the player pushing the game so he can access the second half, where the game pushes the player for a full 3 minutes of endurance. Watch out for misdrops! Oh wait, they do happen anyway.	Status: Pending Death Mode 00:07:00				Arcade
zorlaxseven	The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX	It's been a while since LADX was last seen at a GDQ. LADX has always been very well received at these events, and since it's last appearance at SGDQ 2014, the game and routes have changed rather significantly due to the newly discovered Super Jump and Bomb Trigger glitches. The game features precise gameplay, high-level menuing, frame-perfect tricks, great music, and will have some great nostalgia for anyone who owned a gameboy color. These runs are a must-watch for any marathon.	Status: Pending Any% No S&Q, No Wrong Warp, No Out of Bounds 1:00:00	Status: Pending 100% 1:30:00			GameCube - Game Boy Player
Emily Brooks	Pikmin	Pikmin is a quirky real time strategy adventure game hybrid. You play as an astronaut whose ship has crash landed, and command tiny creatures called “Pikmin” to rebuild it. The “All Parts” category collects 30 ship parts and gets the best ending of the game. The Wii release of the game improved the throwing mechanic, changed how bombs work, and made the end of day cutscenes skippable. This allows for some faster routing over the gamecube version, and a more exciting final boss fight.	Status: Pending All Parts 01:30:00				Nintendo Wii
Emily Brooks	The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time	Something that I’ve noticed about Games Done Quick marathons over the years is that they haven’t shown off the community aspect of speedrunning, which is the most exciting part. Having a runner and a couple friends on the couch really doesn’t showcase the amazing community of people behind the scenes. What I’d like to propose is a four way “No Item Manipulation / Wrong Warp” team relay race in order to get as many people involved as I can. If needed I will happily volunteer to organize this.

nmarkro	Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 Portable	The 3rd major entry in one of the most popular JRPG series out there. P3P features a complex turn-based battle system, great characters, amazing music, and intense boss fights. The speedrun abuses the Skill Card system as well as the Arcade to create powerful Personas. Offering this is a bidding war with Ghoul02's Persona 4 Golden run. The Female Main Character uses a slightly different route but could be run as a donation incentive. (Estimate is 12:00:00 for both Male and Female)	Status: Pending Male, Normal, True End 10:59:59				Playstation TV
garbanzoguy	On the Ball	Also known as "Cameltry" in Japan, this is a puzzle game where you tilt the maze to get the marble to the goal, similar to Super Monkey Ball. The maze can be tilted really quickly, which makes for an interesting speedrun. The physics in this game really make this game good for speedrunning: the maze can be tilted quickly, and the marble can be sped up to quick speeds. The time limit is also generous, so there’s no worry of losing the run anywhere.	Status: Pending 4th plane 00:17:00				Super Nintendo

flaco_jones	P.T. - Silent Hills Playable Teaser	Maybe the most famous demo ever? P.T. is the playable teaser for the game that never was, Silent Hills. This would be an excellent addition to a Spooky Games block, because even though it doesn't contain skips or glitches, it can be run reliably in under 20 minutes and P.T. always generates a ton of interest when brought up in the gaming world thanks to the way it was unceremoniously dumped by Konami along with Kojima himself.

MattyIce3131	Magrunner: Dark Pulse	Magrunner is a puzzle platformer based on magnetism as the main mechanic. Major speed tech in this game includes momentum boosting and several vertical zips. Several levels are essentially skipped completely with long distance jumps. The final level is also trivialized in an interesting manner though exploiting a design flaw in the "boss" encounter. There are also several short breaks throughout the run which can be used to plug donations or other marathon information.	Status: Pending Any% 01:00:00				PC

Casusby	SkyGunner	SkyGunner is an aerial combat game that is filled with explosive action. Those unfamiliar with the game will see that it's similar to Star Fox except it's not on rails, allowing for full movement in any direction.

A good donation incentive could be to make the run to 100%. I would be up to racing anyone else that submits this game! The final one is Any%.

We wanted to capitalize on this by having a 9 person relay race. There will be 3 teams of 3. 1 person from each team will complete a 70 star run, a fast paced category showing off the quickest stars in the game. The other 2 will split a 120 star run, this category shows off the entire game using complex movement mechanics not seen in any other categories.

Smaugy	Shovel Knight	The music sheets in the Shovel Knight is scattered throughout the world, which enables us to enter alot more rooms in all stages (and even a couple of new boss encounters we haven't seen before on previous GDQ's!). This category is basically Any% but with alot more interesting strats like "The Crusher Skip" at 42m 15s mark in video. I'm submitting this category because I know it will be interesting to watch new strats for all the new zones and encounters which people haven't seen before.

GFC_	Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories	A fan favorite Yu-Gi-Oh! game. This game is extremely popular and easy to understand. Because it was created before TCG, it follows a very simplified rule-set. Very easy game to explain. All three categories are marathon safe. The NG+ categories use a premade deck with the best of the best. The normal world tournament category uses a randomly generated deck, which will show off on-the-fly decision making and knowledge. For World Tournament NG+, possible full game NG+ donation incentive.

Amyrlinn	Borderlands 2	This would be done with Shockwve. This run is done on an earlier patch of the game, before a lot of things were patched, so this run involves things like super speed, infinite ammo shotguns, out of bounds, and is not as RNG dependent as single player, since two players can somewhat make up for bad shotgun luck.	Status: Pending 2 Player Co-Op 2:30:00				PC
Amyrlinn	SSX (2012)	This run involves a team of snowboarders clearing the nine "Deadly Descents" of the world; essentially the biggest-name mountains.

garbanzoguy	The Addams Family	This is an adventure-style platformer, where you have to explore the house to save your family members. I'll be skipping saving the family members through a zip, though, which can be used to wrong-warp to the last part of the game. This is a fast-paced and tense speedrun, because Gomez moves very quickly when you collect 2 speedshoes, and getting hit causes you to lose both of them. There are many collectable lives, though, which makes this a safe run. can sing theme song as a donation incentive	Status: Pending any% 00:12:00				Super Nintendo
CakeSauc3	I Wanna Find My Destiny	I Wanna Find My Destiny is an I Wanna Be the Guy fangame, similar to Boshy. The game is a precision platformer with diverse platforming and boss fights. The speedrun includes difficult jumps to skip portions of screens, the use of tiny glitches, and incredibly tight boss quick kills to save time. Unlike many IWBTG fangames, Find My Destiny has polished environments and familiar boss design that will create a welcoming experience for a new crowd all while showing off its intense difficulty.

romscout	Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow	DoS Soma has not been run since AGDQ 2013 when the routes for the game were very different and less interesting. There is a tiny bit of soul farming in the new runs (on average, 2 minutes worth), but a big variety of tricks/tech comparable to SotN are shown. A backup save can be made in case farming lasts too long. Any% is incredibly risky, so I would prefer Low% exclusively if it is not used as an incentive for the run. Both runs usually have tremendous reception from fans of the game.	Status: Pending Low% Souls 00:40:00	Status: Pending Any% (No Memory Corruption) 00:35:00			Nintendo DS
romscout	Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin	PoR Richter has not been run since Aftermath's amazing webcam blur-o-vision speedrun during SGDQ 2011. The run's movement is incredibly fast and fun to watch, to the point where people watching my stream have bought the game because of seeing this run. There is also flashy battle tech with a glitch that humorously stacks damage values in a giant tower above bosses, and new AI manipulation to make the Dracula fight more impressive. This is arguably my most entertaining speedrun gameplay wise.	Status: Pending Richter any% 00:40:00				Nintendo DS
ZaeloRae	Ganbare! Daiku no Gen-San	The sequel to Daiku no Gen-San for the Super FamiCom. Once again, you take on an evil, yet quirky, Yakuza organization.

X2 brings all the things people love about the original snes X games, but brings it up a notch with the addition of wire and burner movement modifiers. The Counter Hunters which are basically the sigma fortress of X2, are a tense and execution heavy section of the game. Afterwards runners will gain SRK to get through the boss rush as quickly as possible. Finally at the end Hugh Jackman shows up as sigma to end the game.	Status: Pending any% 00:38:00				Snes

Our exhibition will demonstrate the best the series has to offer.	Status: Pending Exhibition (modes flexible) 1:15:00				Arcade
TonesBalones	FAST Racing NEO	FAST Racing NEO is a futuristic racing simulator that rivals the speed of F-Zero. Every course is broken by the faulty lap checkpoints, which leads to creative strategies to complete laps as quickly as possible. This includes Reverse Lap Glitch, Strafe Boosting, and occasionally crashing on purpose for spawn abuse. Championship completes all 4 cups, and is the most classic run. Time Attack is a faster and more "marathon safe" category due to having no CPU that interfere, and boost is doubled.

As before, we will create 8+ custom levels for the event, raced by 2 teams of 4. This time, teams will start each level together, and the first to finish will win that map -- the team w/ the most levels finished wins the race. This will keep the race neck and neck for each level.

Yoshipro101	Serious Sam Double D	Neat spin-off Serious Sam game where it's a 2d platformer instead of a fps. Main form of movement is momentum preservation due to a somewhat broken ability acquired early on.

Nightshade places a huge focus on aerial based combat and movement with new movement options, but also has the same platforming people loved or hate from Shinobi. A big difference is that Nightshade has a boundary glitch that allows us to clip past barriers avoiding mob fights and proxy triggers to avoid mobs from spawning and a final boss that doesn't make you hate your life.

However, risk vs. reward plays a huge role in getting good times, and this is best shown in a race.	Status: Pending any% glitchless 2:10:00				GameCube (with Game Boy Player)
Akitaka1	Mark of the Ninja	Mark of the Ninja has not been run in a GDQ since AGDQ 2014, and the game has evolved significantly. Seals and Scrolls is a highly technical run that showcases everything that Mark of the Ninja has to offer, including clipping out of bounds, AI manipulation and stealth movement. S&S is a category in which you collect all 3 scrolls in each level and complete all of the seal challenges, making it the closest thing to a 100% run that MotN has. The end of the game can be made into a bidding war.	Status: Pending NG Seals and Scrolls 01:05:00				PC

Driver SF is no exception with crisp visuals and bright characters. This run features a physics defying glitch enabling cars to go way faster than normal and a blatant disregard for what path the game wants you to follow.

It's a game that came out on the lesser know Sega Saturn and I think it's a really cool and traditional RPG. The game itself takes pretty long though as there really is no major exploit in this game, and some grinding must be done. Bosses are some of the hardest enemies I have ever faced in any RPG and will be a treat to see. Can be done in 8hrs, RNG can make it get to 9 hours.

The game has gliding, a grapple, and telekinesis mechanics and is broken to an extent because of some of these mechanics.

Nightbarrel	Jet Moto	This is a challenging racing game that take precise positioning and control to navigate around the courses effectively. The physics also adds onto the difficulty, requiring to make the right moves at the right time to not crash. The suicide courses also add to the excitement, where there is a constant danger in running into the other racers. We worked hard to make the best times, and while it is difficult to not crash once in full season, this video is the culmination of what can be achieved.

These categories include taking Cadence and Melody through all four zones as fast as possible. Both these categories could be a potential race, with someone like SpootyBiscuit or Oblivion111. Unlike previous submissions, this is seeded (as opposed to unseeded). This is to minimize run time in the case of a premature death, and to make races much more fair.

swordsmankirby	Kirby's Dream Land 2	A classic Game Boy game that introduces animal friends to the powerup mechanic. Unlike the SGDQ15 run, Best Ending collects the seven Rainbow Drops, which requires cycling through all the powerups and friends, rather than just flying over most stages. 100%, the main category, adds a few bonus challenges and an item drop, and could form a donation incentive with Best Ending.

The codes happen every 5 seconds and last 30 seconds.

Skavenger216	Ironsword: Wizards & Warriors 2	Ironsword is the follow up to the somewhat popular Wizard and Warriors for NES. This run is rather difficult, and has some RNG elements, but can be made marathon safe just by grabbing a couple of extra lives along the way. Would like to run this as a race if there are any other interested parties.	Status: Pending any% 00:11:00				NES
Skavenger216	Blaster Master	The Blaster Master Any% race at AGDQ 2016 was incredibly close and entertaining, with all of the racers finishing within a minute of each other. No Warps would make for an even more entertaining and fun race for SGDQ due to much less rng throughout the run, and also will show off more of this amazing NES classic. Unlike Any%, No Warps requires the player to complete each area in the game.	Status: Pending No Warps 00:39:00				Nintendo Entertainment System
error72	Claymates	Claymates is a somewhat unknown SNES platformer published by Interplay. You control 5 different animal forms with unique attributes to complete 18 stages.

zzzICEBERGzzz	No Time to Explain Remastered	This 2D quasi-platformer, created by the GDQ sponsor tinyBuild, makes a fast-paced and entertaining speedrun. There are various types of movement featured in the game, while changes in mechanics, level optimizations, and an entertaining storyline all make for a great addition to a GDQ. The game is marathon-friendly, as each mistake only costs a few seconds. I am uploading a run of 30:13 rather than my 29:25 WR due to better gameplay and commentary, but with fewer, larger mistakes and bad RNG.	Status: Pending Any% 00:36:00				PC
error72	Zelda II: The Adventure of Link	100% All Keys is a more combat and exploration heavy category that bans all major glitches and requires runners to collect all permanent upgrades and collect all the keys.

Pearstrike	Kirby Air Ride	Kirby Air Ride is a unique racer with a lot of precise tech and tricks that have not yet been showcased at a GDQ. One trick in particular is a momentum glitch that allows me to spin and boost down a wall at the same time. Along with other fast movement techniques (that are explained in the video), I will be trying to beat the 9 tracks of Air Ride mode as fast as possible. A donation incentive could be a bid war between the 8 different Kirby colors that I can play as.	Status: Pending Air Ride All Tracks 0:24:00				Nintendo Wii
error72	Ghosts 'N Goblins	An extremely difficult NES platformer that must be beaten twice to see the true ending.

Ghostly	Pikmin 2	Pikmin 2 (a real time strategy game) is considered my favorite game of all time. Anyway, it seems that most Pikmin speedrunners don't look at this game at GDQ for some reason. But, I believe I would be the one who can speedrun Pikmin 2 at SGDQ. Anyway, the goal for Pay Off Debt is to collect 10000 pokos as fast as possible. To me, it is considered much easier than All Treasures. Note that I will not do Early Blues (a harder trick in Pikmin 2) and some part of Napsack glitch for Pay Off Debt.

michael_goldfish	Yoshi's Story	Yoshi's Story any% is strikingly fast paced for being so cute, with constant movement and many small tricks and exploits to both avoid enemies and eat fruit more quickly. Levels complete upon eating 30 fruit of any kind, thus the route is optimized to eat the most fruit in the shortest distance possible. This condensed route leads to extremely rapid and precise gameplay. This run is sure to impress in a very short time.	Status: Pending any% 00:14:30				Nintendo 64
WallpeSH	Crash Bandicoot: The Huge Adventure	Crash Bandicoot: The Huge Adventure was the first Crash game released for the GBA. It is a side scroller adventure that contains few skips/glitches. It is a gem for hardcore Crash fans as it contains themes from past Crash games. This game has nostalgia attached to it for me and more than likely for others too. If other Crash games are submitted I would love to see this alongside the main games.	Status: Pending any% 00:50:00				GBA/Gamecube
SavageDreamLord	Amnesia: The Dark Descent	This is a run of a very scary game where interesting and daring strategies are used to get past the monsters and through the puzzles as quickly as possible. It's not too long, easy to understand, extremely consistent, very well known, fun to watch, and I don't think this category has been shown before. It's low risk and I think people would enjoy watching it.	Status: Pending any% glitchless 01:00:00				PC
DarkTerrex	Rockman 6: RE	Also nicknamed Spacefish for reasons seen late in the run, this romhack of Mega Man 6 provides new levels, boss weaknesses, and weapon variances.

Gocnak	Half-Life 2	With Save Deletion being adopted into the ruleset for the Any% category, the route changes made over the past few years has seen a lot of time save. The attached video, albeit 7 months old, shows some of the newer routes taken. But even newer glitches, such as voidclipping, have been found, and other route optimizations have further brought the time down, with the world record getting closer to 1:20:00. If this run was to be accepted, I would try to showcase all of the newer routes.	Status: Pending Any% 1:45:00				PC
TheMageling	Metroid II: Return of Samus	Metroid II 100% sees Samus collecting suit upgrades, all missile expansions and energy tanks, and killing all Metroids living on planet SR388. Movement in the game has several quirks, which makes for an interesting run with little downtime. Minimizing backtracking requires lots of damage boosting to get to otherwise unreachable areas and even a trip through a lava pool that drains the majority of Samus' health.

Watch as the ghost sacrifices everything to bring its one true love, the bubble, through every trap, trick, and torture of the evil mansion to freedom in the sky! The ghost will push the bubble past spikes, fans, tight gaps, electric beams, and more on the path to salvation. Perfect to cap off Silly Games block or lighten the mood after a heavy-hitting title! Say yes to love. Say yes to Bubble Ghost.	Status: Pending any% 00:09:00				Gameboy (SGB2)
Nocturne_	Donkey Kong Country 3	This game is often considered to be the least technical of the SNES DKC games, but the recent surge in popularity for it has made the standard for a quality run far greater than it used to be and there are numerous candidates for a major showing because of that; no level is left that hasn't had significant work by multiple people put towards optimizing it. It is also a very consistent run, making it extremely marathon safe and (should it be relevant) very likely to have a competitive race.	Status: Pending any% 00:55:00				Super Nintendo
Nocturne_	Super Mario Galaxy 2	Since Yoshifan's showing at AGDQ 2014, a vast amount of movement and technical optimizations have been implemented, making an already entertaining run even better. Almost all levels have something of note within them, yet there is also a solid amount of time between stars for donation comments. Regardless of whether it would be me or somebody else running it, I feel this game could greatly use another showing to display how far it's come over the years.	Status: Pending any% 3:20:00				Nintendo Wii
LeonPowPow	The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX	Link's Awakening (DX) is a fantastic entry in the Zelda series and has a very accessible and entertaining speedrun supporting it. I performed a run of this at SGDQ 2014 which was well received and fun, and the game (which hasn't been seen in that time at *GDQ since) has seen a lot of changes in tech and to the route that I'm still adapting to, and so will be dedicating myself to improving my time in the coming months. At little over an hour, it's a fantastic addition to any marathon schedule.	Status: Pending Any% No WW/OoB 1:05:00				Gameboy Colour
360Chrism	Super Mario Galaxy 2	The run consists of making your way through the 6 worlds while collecting the fastest stars for a total of 70 stars to unlock the final bowser level. With the addition of Yoshi, and the infamous infinite Yoshi flutter, Super Mario Galaxy 2 is sure to blow minds! Overall the game feels faster paced than SMG1 which was shown at AGDQ2016. I think it would be an awesome follow up to the AGDQ run and show some love to the game. SMG2 was last shown at AGDQ2014.	Status: Pending Any% 3:25:00				Nintendo Wii

tapioca	Serious Sam Advance	A first person shooter on the Gameboy Advance. This game works even worse than you might expect. The main speedtech is to never look at where you're running to move faster, and abuse lag to kill enemies with fewer bullets. The appeal of this game is that it's so disgustingly ugly that it's hard to imagine ever wanting to play it. It gets progressively less functional over the course of the game and does not overstay its welcome.	Status: Pending any% 00:40:00				GBA
ChurchnSarge	The Grinch	The Grinch is a 3D Action Platformer. The game follows the antics of the Grinch as he plays pranks on the Whos as he tries to recover his missing blueprints, allowing him to ruin Christmas once and for all. The game has a good amount of skips, good music, awful camera angles, and controlls, as well as some pretty bad dialogue. This run could also have an incentives for cutscenes, which are all pretty funny, but skippable.	Status: Pending any% 00:55:00				Playstation
tapioca	Panic Restaurant	This game was in a GDQ recently, so you know what to expect. It's a quick 2D platformer for the NES with a bizarre food theme. If selected, I would be playing the Japanese version, which features slightly different graphics and item placement from what was shown in the American version at the last GDQ run.	Status: Pending any% 00:20:00				NES

Trifang	Sonic Riders	Riders is a Sonic spin-off focusing on balancing air usage and speed boosts to clear racetracks. The game was a success on the Sonic Speed Marathon, with the category bid war (also possible at SGDQ!) raising a huge portion of the donations. I had some Problems with downloading the game on PC so I only have my GCN run. So I will be able to fix it before SGDQ! Potential race with Celestics.

Rotorstorm331	Final Fight 2	I had a chance to run this game at the Scrubathon IV marathon last December, which was also my first time running in a marathon. Most of the problems running this game, aside from human error, are passive AI, frame storage, and hitstops; which can make doing some of the strats and tricks a bit harder and require to react to the situation. I think it would be a good chance to help create interest in running this game.	Status: Pending Haggar Easy Any% 00:35:00				Wii U VC (SNES)
Adefgames	Mega Man 1	This game is easily one of the flashiest NES speedruns, with a myriad of glitches that range from crazy-fast zips to vertical screen wraps.

It has interesting tricks and mechanics thanks to all of the different forms you can transform into, as well as an amazing soundtrack and now it features a relatively newly discovered zip in World 3.

Co-op is significantly faster because it allows us to kill enemies quicker, abuse the checkpoint system, and do different sections of some levels at the same time.

This category, being the most popular, brings the main character, Isaac, to the final floor of the game in under 25 minutes. This type of gameplay and run takes a wide amount of knowledge of every element of the game, and the Afterbirth DLC will bring a fresh and exciting feel for a GDQ. Possible race against any other willing participant.	Status: Pending Beat the Chest 00:25:00				PC
Fearful Ferret	System Shock	System Shock is an old-school FPS, and one of the first to have such modern luxuries as sloped surfaces and dynamic lighting. A recently discovered glitch allows you to bypass any locked door in the game, which has cut the WR from half an hour to just over 12 minutes. This run is fast-paced and requires good movement and health management. Safety saves are fast to make and use, making this route marathon-safe. Enhanced Edition differs from Classic Edition only by the addition of mouse freelook.	Status: Pending Enhanced Edition any% 00:20:00				PC

Among the Arkham games, Batman: Arkham City is the highest rated and most popular for not only the general audience, but for speedrunning as well. This category, playing on Hard difficulty without Catwoman, is very optimized and exciting for all aspects of speedrunning. The recent Batman games are a staple of GDQ's, and this broken masterpiece would make a perfect fit for the marathon.	Status: Pending Any% (Hard, No Catwoman) 01:32:00				PC

To progress past each zone, you must kill or brand most or all the warchiefs in that zone, each of which has a random location, traits, and mission objective. This requires on-the-fly routing as you go through the main missions, giving the run a great deal of depth without sacrificing marathon safety.	Status: Pending any% 02:10:00				PC

I pioneered the 100% category shortly after the game's release. For marathon purposes, I am submitting 99.8%, which skips one puzzle that would normally take 52 minutes of idling to complete.

This run aims to enter the Omote loop and 2-ALL the game with a high score. To qualify for the Omote loop, players have to accumulate six or less deaths/bombs total during the first loop. The time estimate is the runtime of the game on an Omote loop clear.	Status: Pending scorerun 00:46:00				Arcade
Troggbomb	Ben and Ed	This is a run of Ben and Ed, a run and jump indie platform made by Sluggerfly Productions, the game includes a linear but interesting storyline of a boy and his "friend" Ed, an undead. This game should be included because it is quite unique game with interesting mechanics(as seen in the video), and many, many game breaking bugs that make for some intriguing routing decisions. I believe this game will contribute a fun, exciting, and a new interest to the style this game provides.	Status: Pending any% 00:40:00				PC
JamEvil	The Karate Kid	Loosely based on the event on the movie, The Karate Kid for NES should be in the marathon to highlight the precision input and execution required to complete a run. The Karate Kid as been deemed one of the more difficult (and awful) games on NES due to it's relentless onslaught of enemies and pitfalls. This run will highlight the use of kicks and the very occasional punch in order to quickly and consistently beat the game.	Status: Pending Any% 00:06:00				Nintendo Entertainment System
JamEvil	Jaws	This game is short and sweet and has some seriously fun nuances in its difficulty level. The longer the game goes on the harder it becomes, but we will not see the hard part at all. This run will highlight the delicate balance between killing enemies quickly and collecting items and power-ups required for defeating Jaws. The killer shark will be defeated while using the miniature submarine shortly after the third enemy encounter.	Status: Pending Any% 00:06:00				Nintendo Entertainment System
Katgarr	Penumbra: Necrologue	Penumbra: Necrologue is a full conversion mod of Amnesia: The Dark Descent. It's a spooky game where you immediately jump through the roof and skip all the plot and importance of the characters.

Lombax999	Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time	ACIT presents an engaging speedrun that is very unique amongst R&C games, and luckily, as mentioned by Peanut, the run manages to include plenty of flashy tricks while skipping the entirety of the slow, boring stuff. While any% is a slightly longer category, it includes several pretty cool and difficult tricks that are absent from the ng+ run. Ultimately either category would make for a great contribution to the marathon.	Status: Pending any% 2:10:00				PS3
Protomagicalgirl	Super Mario Land	Super Mario Land, the launch title for the Gameboy, kicked off a series of adaptations and variations of NES games on the portable console of the day.

This new any% route features more game breaking glitches, more characters to name, more challenging boss fights, and... less time. We can take the time to name seven characters, and can even take some time and rename them later for intense donation battles. Every marathon needs an RPG, and you're looking at it.

Celestics	Defunct	Defunct is a 3D Platformer revolving around abusing gravity on slopes and minimizing contact with the ground to maintain speed. Any% is a beeline to the end, and All Collectibles adds on a 40-collectible requirement, changing the whole route. Exploiting the respawn/double jump/boost mechanics make for an extremely fast run, and the several sequence breaks will definitely surprise viewers. If accepted, developer commentary is possible!

altabiscuit	New Super Mario Bros	New Super Mario Bros may not be “New” anymore with its 10th anniversary around the corner but it is still the blueprint to modern 2D Mario games as we know them. Any% uses the blue shell powerup for the first half for faster swim speed and the World 1 warp, whereas the second half ditches the shell in favor of good old fashioned running and jumping through fiery dangers. There can be a possible bidwar between playing as Mario or Luigi as there is no gameplay differences between them.	Status: Pending Any% 0:35:00				Wii U Virtual Console
Seak1ng	Typing of the Dead: Overkill	It's a game about typing as quickly as you can. The first game in the series was in a GDQ before, and it showed split paths and whatnot as speed tech. This game is linear through to the end. All about typing fast. There is a ridiculous amount of profanity in the dialogue however. Otherwise it's a pretty interesting run if the runner can type pretty quickly.	Status: Pending Any% Easy (called bitch mode in game) 1:55:00				PC
MopeyJoe	Mega Man X4	MMX4 is a unique X game in the fact that you are locked into either X or Zero from the start of your run, which creates two very different and interesting runs. Plenty of people have wanted to see an X vs Zero race and now's the chance with two top-level X4 runners. While Zero is slightly faster due to less item collection needed, Sneaks will be watching the Iris cutscene to even the times.	Status: Pending X 100% vs Zero 100% race 00:50:00				PlayStation 2
GNU Order	Roundabout	Roundabout is a perfect blend of unique movement mechanics and precise timing, as you spin your way through an incredibly tight yet visually hypnotizing run. Studio ran cutscene% last year, which clocked in at about an hour, but eSports Speedrun mode strips the game of cutscenes and all the bells and whistles, allowing for nonstop carspinning. I've held and improved the WR for over a year, and am confident in my ability to provide fun and professional commentary.	Status: Pending eSports Speedrun Mode (any%) 00:15:00				PC
Mofat	The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD	The new HD release of Tloz:TP, it has some new tricks(Aqua slide,input buffering) but has a lot of familiar elements from SD too, it's a mix of all dungeons and Any% right now and we don't foresee a lot changing in the next couple of months. It shows a lot more of the game than TP SD and as such it's a little more fun to watch. I also believe a lot of people will want to see what the run is like.

Cubeface	Hexen	Hexen is an old FPS on the Doom engine released in 1995. It's only a bit more broken than Doom, and shares the tradition of playing on a hard difficulty which makes the run interesting. The game has high potential for a donation incentive as it features 3 different classes (Fighter, Mage, and Cleric) which have different weapons and are unique enough to warrant separate categories. The Fighter is the easiest run, and Mage is the hardest which is why there's a time difference between them.

This time, teams will start each level together, and the first to finish will win that map -- the team w/ the most levels finished wins the race. This will keep the race neck and neck for each level.

Since AGDQ 2014, there has been a surprising amount of new tech for this game and is probably an entire minute faster. This game is a brutal speedrun with a ton of tough tricks and is visually appealing to the MMX demographic. I really hope this can get in!	Status: Pending 100% 00:50:00				SNES
Iceless	Mega Man X4	SGDQ 2015 featured an X 100% run by MopeyJoe that was really good. Since the last Zero% run that was featured at AGDQ, there has been a ton of cool stuff that has been found for Zero. This has a lot of RNG and things that can make the run go a bit sour, but more importantly, has the most cringeworthy cutscene known; the Iris Cutscene for a donation incentive!

Fighters make funny faces when they get punched and defy physics as they glide to the canvas. But underneath the hilarious 80s facade, there lies a notoriously difficult, frame precision demanding, monster of a game with unbounded technical depth.

JamEvil	Ironsword: Wizards and Warriors II	I learned this game from feasel by watching him teach Skavenger216 in the practice room at AGDQ 2016. It only seems fitting that the pupils take on the teacher in this 2- or 3-way race. Ironsword highlights precision platforming and a slew of minor glitches/techniques used to complete a run. There are 4 main bosses and a challenging final battle where you must battle the four elements. All of our PB's are within 30 seconds of one another which will make for an exciting race.

It seems amazing how I just breeze through the game now. Clock Ending shows more story of the game, with less action.

MarioMan847	Super Mario 3D World	SlowkingsPants did a run of Super Mario 3D World at SGDQ 2014 and he did a good job of showcasing why it's such a solid speedgame. Since then, many optimizations have been discovered with the map glitch that occurs at the beginning of World Bowser being the most prominent one. 3D World making a second appearance at a GDQ would be exciting for many people, including myself.

MarioMan847	Super Mario Galaxy 2	Super Mario Galaxy 2 was featured at AGDQ 2014 and Yoshifan did a good job with his run. Since then, many strats and time saves have been discovered and the game has been growing in popularity as of late. Even though my current time is 17 minutes behind the record, I plan to improve a lot more by the time SGDQ comes around. This run being accepted would give me the motivation that I need to improve at the game so if you gave me a chance, I would be overjoyed.	Status: Pending Any% 3:25:00				Wii U (Virtual Console)
Prince_Leaf	Princess Tomato in the Salad Kingdom	Eh, why not. I had the pleasure of playing this game for Best of NES last year. It's a menu based adventure with the theme of everything being a fruit or vegetable. There are no tricks really used during the run, it's all about memorization of about 40 minutes of menus and maybe humor thrown in. This would be a great game to fill up the nighttime hours of the marathon. This run will always finish. I'd completely understand rejecting the run, but I would be happy to play it if accepted.	Status: Pending Any% 00:48:00				NES
Iceplug	Final Fantasy VIII	The Steam version of FF8 comes with an option to make the game run up to 500% faster than normal. As such, I will press F1 and complete Final Fantasy 8 in just under 3 and a half hours. The other boosters that are included with the Steam version give your players an unprecedented assistance in battle and make the speed watch dull, imo. With only F1, the core gameplay is preserved, but just sped up because "Gotta Go Fast".	Status: Pending F1 + Beat The Game 03:30:00				PC
Iceplug	Alias	Alias is a video game for the PC and the PS2 based on the television series of the same name. I will play the role of Sydney Bristow as she foils plans to destroy the world, navigates rooms filled with hostile targets that probably won't be killed since it takes a long time to kill them, and climbs stairs slowly. The PC version has faster loading/saving times and thus more consistent than the PS2 version.	Status: Pending Beat The Game 02:00:00				PC
Iceplug	Super Bomberman 2	Super Bomberman 2 is the second installment of the Bomberman series for the Super Nintendo. Watch me blow up enemies with bombs and collect so many speed powerups that I can barely control myself as I speed through the 35 levels in this game. There is a fair amount of randomness in the game based on where powerups drop that will affect how quickly the game can be completed.	Status: Pending Beat The Game 00:35:00				Super Nintendo
Prince_Leaf	Mario Golf: Advance Tour	The fast paced golf game series turned into an RPG. In this game, I try to finish every hole as fast as I can while trying to keep strokes to a minimum. Level management is used during the run to ensure the most smooth rounds to be played. There are five courses, all uniquely different from one another. Can be very marathon safe because of the save and quit feature. Could be an donation incentive to use Neil or Ella.	Status: Pending Singles Story 1:05:00				GBA (Gameboy Player)
Darkwing Duck	Kid Icarus	This game had a major skip discovered after I ran this for SGDQ last year. Makes one of the most random sections of the game disappear. Looks cool, too. Most individuals I've heard or read discuss how hard this game is, especially the early sections of it. The game has become quite easy for me, even more so after running it at SGDQ last year. Run has a LOT of commentary that goes with it and can be discussed for days.	Status: Pending any% 00:25:00				NES
Darkwing Duck	The Goonies II	Action-platformer based on a Hollywood movie. Metroid style with lots of precision jumping with fast menu point and click elements as well. Despite some of the pixel perfect jumps, the run is very marathon safe and should end near record time. 100% adds a few minutes with more platforming if that's what would be desired, though I have no current video of 100%.

Pandabear314	Super Mario World	A1 (101) Exits is a new category to Super Mario World. Its goal is to complete as many exits in Super Mario World as is humanly possible. This includes the original 96 exits with 5 unintended exits. This is an interesting run because it includes many glitches and game mechanics that are not normally showcased in SMW speedruns. Note: This run does exclude one exit because it takes an hour on its own to do and is not interesting to watch as it involves going through a pipe over 250 times.

Boohead86	Mario Superstar Baseball	A run in which we use the most powerful hitters, the best pitchers, and a great group of fielders that work well together. In this run I go and beat each team captain once before squaring off against Bowser, in which we try to beat him by 10 runs or more in order to end the game quickly. Possible donation incentive could be to pick the captain we use besides Bowser due to him having an extra game.	Status: Pending Any% (Mushroom Cup) 00:38:00				Nintendo Gamecube

Much like a SM64 Speedrun, it is a very fast paced movement focused display of skill. With over hundreds of people contributing ideas/concepts to this run since mid 2012, it has truly become an incredible and impressive run to watch. I believe it'd make a great addition to SGDQ.

And the blind races at AGDQ looked like a ton of fun. I would really love to be a part of SGDQ Mario Maker's Block if there is one. The video I'm submitting is my first Super Expert Clear. Super Mario Maker is a great game because it brings the classics back with unlimited levels.	Status: Pending Blind Race 1:00:00				Wii U
Prince_Leaf	Home Improvement: Power Tool Pursuit!	Power Tool Pursuit is a game loosely based on the television series. Your objective is to go to four different studio sets and collect all the crates. That task is made difficult due to poor platforming and very stubborn enemies. The run includes damage boosting as much as possible and can be demanding at times. Expect a lot of clench moments in this speedrun thriller. My best is 52:27.

Enkaybee	Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze	Arguably the most well-received run on AGDQ 2015, we'd like to bring Tropical Freeze back as a relay race between two teams of 3. Attached is a race between Moomooakai, Kruncha, and myself that we did as a pitch for SGDQ 2015. I've chosen to use it as my submission video because it is an example of the commentary that this community can bring to the event. The video is a 3v3 solo race, but it is representative of the excellence that we bring to the show.	Status: Pending any% 3v3 relay race 1:40:23				Wii U
CovertMuffin	Star Wars: Jedi Knight - Jedi Academy	Hello! JKA features an active, supportive and fast growing speedrun community. The game persists of an adapted Quake 3 engine and also has an EPIC lightsaber system along with Force powers to immerse the runner and viewers into the star wars universe. The run is excitingly fast paced and includes a quicksave system to guarantee the showcasing of difficult tricks and completely mitigate RNG. Donation incentives could include Lightsaber color, Gender and save (lightside) or kill (darkside) Rosh.	Status: Pending Padawan Any% 00:42:00				PC
LackAttack24	Big Nose the Caveman	One caveman’s quest for a roast bird dinner. Make no bones about it, abuse of “zips” will end 6 levels immediately. Have you ever seen a caveman use spells? No need to reinvent the wheel on this one, as this is a fast-paced platformer with charming music. Could be considered for Awful Games block :(	Status: Pending any% 00:30:00				NES
GameOfTheWeek	Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers 2	CND2 as we call it is a less frequently run game mostly due to the RNG on boss fights. Also, why my PB is 18:39, I can pretty consistently get under 20 minutes but the multiple sources for RNG make it a little tough to estimate. User infinitemystery and I would like this to be a race so the RNG would be fairly equalizing. Boss cycles take 15-20 seconds each and 10 hits required so "blowouts" are rare. Fairly good good game for donation readings. Donation incentive Character choice: Chip vs. Dale	Status: Pending Any% One Controller 00:25:00				NES
spikevegeta	Speedrun Tutorial Series	The basic idea is to dispel the illusion that speedrunning is too hard by the general audience, and "Get Yourself Speedrunning" by pulling random audience members and teaching them with different hand-picked runners/teachers how to perform some the most visually appealing tricks in speedgaming. The video shows me teaching 16-star tutorial to anime fans, but this could span multiple games/tricks in one block, or spread out over the marathon. Estimate/logistics can adjust accordingly.

Adefgames	Rockman 3: Burst Chaser	Another romhack of the mega man series made by Tsukikuro, this game is mega man 3 but with incredibly fast movement and shot speed along with new level and enemy designs to go along with the heightened speed. This speedrun is crazy fast and super enjoyable to watch with some totally rad speedtech and platforming. It also has abundant use of the various robot master weapons, only spicing up the gameplay that much more!	Status: Pending any% 00:34:30				NES
Adefgames	Mickey's Dangerous Chase	With tight platforming and a killer soundtrack, this Mickey Mouse game is a hilarious run that is also fairly tricky with its fair share of difficult levels. Tough damage boosting is the key to traversing most of the more difficult levels, and throw in some fun commentary with an amusing couch crew to comment on how silly this game is, and you've got yourself a winner.	Status: Pending any% 00:16:30				Gameboy (gameboy player on GCN)
LoZCardsfan23	Castlevania	This is an any % run of Castlevania for DOS. This port of the NES classic was released in 1990. The game plays slower than it's NES counterpart, but I do think it's easier than the original NES version, mostly because of the ability to save and restore your game at any time. Very few people know about the computerized ports of Castlevania, which is why I am submitting this version for consideration. This would make for a great possible bonus incentive game for the Castlevania block.	Status: Pending Any % 00:20:00				PC (DOS)
Daniel Gulyas (Ghoul02)	Catherine	Catherine is a puzzle game developed by Atlus's Team Persona where the goal is to climb to the top of a tower of blocks, and Babel is the hardest mode, in which all block patterns are randomized. At the same time, both the fastest and most consistent mode is pairs, which I do by myself using a dualshock and an arcade stick. Despite the high difficulty, I'm incredibly consistent, completing over half of my recent runs without a death.	Status: Pending Babel 1 Player 2 Controllers 00:35:00				Playstation 3

Please check the video description for time stamps of some of these glitches. This game is hugely nostalgic and draws a large audience, and is an amazing run with great commentary.

Studio	LISA: THE PAINFUL RPG	LISA is a incredibly weird cult-classic RPG focused on surviving in a post-apocalytpic wasteland. There’s a lot of tension due to the constant threats, and the weird atmosphere makes for an interesting watch (encounters include mutants, Russian Roulette, a McDonald's knockoff,and multiple football teams). There are some quirky donation incentives (ex. Recruit a Fishman Lawyer from Fishtown) Note: Estimate is 8 min lower if intro is skipped (it's there for completion), 8 more with animations on.

Daniel Gulyas (Ghoul02)	Yo-kai Watch	Yo-kai Watch is a recent 3DS release by Level 5 that immediately took off upon release in Japan, where it became one of the top selling 3DS games of all time. The No QPS (QR, Password, SUCAH) restriction allows for the greatest demonstration of the game's combat, and the game's quirky atmosphere and great music make for a fun, charming run.

Daniel Gulyas (Ghoul02)	Persona 4 Golden	Persona 4 Golden is one of the most acclaimed RPGs of all time, and I'm offering this as a bidding war with NMarkro's Persona 3 Portable submission. It has an incredibly deep combat system, a great story and music, and some of the best boss battles of any RPG speedrun. The series is getting a sequel in the next year so interest will never be higher, and there are tons of potential donation incentives and bidding wars.

Ilseroth	Monster Hunter Portable 3rd	Pretty simple, starts at player control; ends on credits. The estimate is generous, but I wanted to make it open to other weapons as a bidding incentive. (Note: The run video uses speed up to go past mining/cutscenes but the in game time is accurate, tested on console, just didn't have recording equipment at the time.) I know this is a niche game, but been meaning to come back to GDQ since 2012 and this is the only run I know. thanks for your time.	Status: Pending any% 03:00:00				PSP
JStrudle	Star Fox: Assault	Star Fox Assault is a short speedrun that has quite a few tricks and skips in it, and I think that it's both a fun run to watch and to play. Plus it also has a little bit of nostalgia. (This run is being submitted by Jadon Warneke, or JStrudle who is underage.)	Status: Pending Bronze any% 01:05:00				Nintendo Gamecube
Paperario	Kirby's Epic Yarn	Kirby's Epic Yarn was a game released in 2010 for the Nintendo Wii and was featured at Summer Games Done Quick 2011. Between 2011-2016 the run has evolved into a completely new game, making it a very interesting watch. From 2011 the community has been able to add many new optimizations to the game, such as new strats, techniques to go faster, and most importantly the addition of two controllers, one player, allowing many parts of the game to be broken, saving roughly 15 minutes off the speedrun.

This means we do not use the oft used Story Mode Glitch, which allows a player to completely skip stages of the Story Mode. 10 Worlds, 10 Levels Each.

RogueLink	Gargoyle's Quest 2	Gargoyle's Quest 2 is a platformer and sequel to Gargoyle's Quest played at the last SGDQ. I don't think Gargoyle's Quest 2 has ever appeared in a GDQ marathon. GQ2 makes solid improvements from the original by removing the random encounters, having more challenging boss battles, and levels. GDQ has several techniques throughout the run, including damage boosts and death warps, that significantly reduce the total time of the run.	Status: Pending any% 00:33:00				Famicom
Andy	The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past	RBO was done at AGDQ16, but I feel like it's a better run done solo with a bigger emphasis on commentary. A glitch-heavy category that will drop jaws all around. Also submitting Low% OHKO race, a mod where any damage taken will insta-kill. Leads to some interesting strats, scary situations, and speed noises.	Status: Pending Low% One-hit KO 2:30:00	Status: Pending Reverse Boss Order 1:30:00			SNES
BluntBunny	The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past	No Major Glitches is still the most popular category in the game's community. It was last raced in AGDQ 2014, and since then has had quite a bit of minor optimizations. In this category you get to play the game in all its glory, as intended, without using game-breaking glitches. The run still has quite a bit of neat tech to show off given that major glitches are banned. I currently have a competitive time and would really like to race this with whoever decides to submit this category.

I am confident I can have a 49:xx by SGDQ if a race is accepted.	Status: Pending Any% 00:55:00				Super Nintendo

The game is short and fast, and is well suited for racing with dangerous platforming and frequent checkpoints. 16 Bags of Ca$h requires the player to collect optional goods for score, which are often risky and require challenging platforming techniques to obtain. Donation incentive for Story Mode, showing off this game's hilariously janky dialogue. This is a RACE with Tonic	Status: Pending 16 Bags of Ca$h 00:07:00				NES
V0oid	Donkey Kong Country 3	Since Supreme's run at SGDQ 2015, this game has gained a lot of popularity among our community. The record has been pushed down by almost 20 seconds, and new strats and optimizations are still being found regularly.

iongravirei	Mighty Switch Force! Hyper Drive Edition	MSF is a 2D platformer with minor puzzle elements. The action portions take higher priority, especially when using an exploit that enables you to jump long distances. Hyper levels are revised and more difficult than their original versions; the threat of death always lingers. This game has good tunes, by the way. I'd like to race with Tonyogbot	Status: Pending Hyper Levels race 0:35:00				PC / WiiU
boredeathly	Tails Adventure	This game is really broken because of a glitch that makes it super easy to go out of bounds. The run is abusing that glitch and the game's inner workings to collect all of the items. There's 4 different frame perfect tricks, 3 of which you do multiple times throughout the run. This run showcases every stage unlike the any% route, including one that's almost entirely in the dark. It's a glorious broken mess of a run and I'll explain it all as we go.

iongravirei	Ape Escape 2	Ape 2's movement allows for a lot of freedom. There's plenty of ways to clip through and fly over objects while keeping your speed the whole way. You need every bit you can get, honestly. The monkeys are very aggressive, and they will pull the wool over your eyes if you're not at the top of your game.

Crak Atak	Mega Man X3	Was last run at SGDQ 2015 as a bonus game. Since then I have further pushed down the time to even beat the any% saber route. In the Playstation version of this game there is a glitch to skip to the final stages after intro.

Crak Atak	Mega Man X6	Played on the X collection version. Xtreme difficulty adds more enemies, more damage taken/done, no random health drops and gives extra patterns to some bosses.

In SS All Levels, the goal is to completely clean each level without dying (SS). This notoriously includes Yotta Difficult, the final level. Yotta is known to stop runs from finishing, but I can consistently finish runs under my estimate time. Dustforce DX is sure to impress viewers with it's difficulty.	Status: Pending SS All Levels 1:15:00				PC
Crak Atak	Castlevania: Rondo of Blood	A castlevania category where you can play as Maria. Since this category is on a completed file, there are no required cutscenes to finish the game. Maria ends up being faster than Richter on NG+ due to slides and double jumps. Maria also gets knocked back from heavy damage and takes more damage in general. The biggest trick in the game is the guardian knuckle input (Up -> Down -> QCF + Attack). Would be willing to race Plum since we have close times in this game.	Status: Pending NG+ 00:18:00				Wii VC
Crak Atak	Where's Waldo	Silly/awful game submission. Short run where the goal is to find waldo quickly much like the where's waldo books. This was inspired by the 10+ people co-op runs of this game at sgdq practice room. Since then we have found a few spawn manipulations and tricks to judging where waldo might be found quickly. The number of runners has also quadrupled in a short time span. Would be willing to do co-op as well if couch members/runners would like to join in.	Status: Pending any% 00:04:00				NES

As before, we will create 8+ custom levels released at SGDQ, raced by 2 teams of 4. This time, teams will start each level together, and the first to finish each level will win that map -- the team w/ the most levels cleared wins the race.

What makes this run a good watch are the varying ways to win fights, technical movements around the overworld, and the little bits of menuing done in between that make the run look very busy, but still leaving good time for fun, commentary, and donations.

A hack and slash with an excellent soundtrack and boss fights to boot. This game has a mix of in bound and out of bound exploits. Non stop action with a strong moveset provides for great eye candy.

PJ	Brandish	Brandish is a very unique and fast-paced action RPG in which our main character is unable to turn, resorting to rotating the entire dungeon around himself instead. We must navigate over 40 floors of puzzles, mazes, and acrobatic enemy evasion to reach one of the most intense final fights on the SNES and escape the ruins. Death is around every corner, as we die in one hit for nearly the entire run, but a generous save system makes this is a very safe completion.	Status: Pending Any% 1:10:00				SNES
Bl00dyBizkitz	Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix	This was run as a donation incentive at AGDQ 2015 with some positive reviews, and the strats have only gotten crazier since. A relatively short category in the Kingdom Hearts series, LV1 Data Org RTA is simply a boss rush of 13 superbosses on the hardest difficulty. Each boss is insanely challenging and 1 mistake usually results in certain death. You'll be on the edge of your seat the whole 30 minutes.	Status: Pending LV1 Data Org RTA 00:35:00				PS2

CTConqueror	You Have to Win the Game	You Have to Win the Game is a free platformer that is available as a standalone or on Steam. The non-Steam version is faster, as it skips the end where the runner has to spell the 'Secret Word' to win. This run can be done on either. As there is no RNG in this game, the run is very optimized with two precise death warps. A possible donation incentive would be the 'Playable Cat DLC', which changes the character sprite to a cat for the run.	Status: Pending any% 00:08:00				PC
Mikan	Rabi-Ribi	Recently released Metroidvania style game. A bunny and fairy decide to beat people up with a hammer and 'convince' them to help her out. Includes adorable visuals, bullet-hell style boss battles, and increasingly faster movement tech as the run goes on. Route is chosen based on getting movement items as fast as possible and picking the quickest 10 bosses to unlock the finale.	Status: Pending Main Game any% Normal 1:30:00				PC
Kronicsauce	Super Mario Maker	The blind race from AGDQ was a huge success, bringing in a ton of audience participation and was named by many as the highlight of the event. As before, we will create 8+ custom levels for the event, raced by 2 teams of 4. This time, teams will start each level together, and the first to finish will win that map -- the team w/ the most levels finished wins the race. This will keep the race neck and neck for each level.

PJ	Mohawk & Headphone Hack	The headliner and closer for Disorienting Games Done Quick. Mohawk & Headphone Jack is the unholy combination of Sonic the Hedgehog and Super Mario Galaxy that we never knew we wanted. In this game, we navigate Mohawk along ceilings/walls/floors on his quest to recollect CDs from General Headslot and return to his planet to "resume [his] normal, funky way of life". Warps make the game significantly safer and skip nearly 20 minutes of gameplay, while showing the full depth of the level design.	Status: Pending Any% with warps 0:35:00				SNES
CTConqueror	Mickey Mousecapade	Mickey Mousecapade is an NES platformer that features a partner character (Minnie Mouse). She cannot be damaged by enemies but can still fire shots which results in many backup strats for bosses. If she falls down a pit, Mickey dies also, causing levels such as the Ocean and Woods to be a bit harder managing where she jumps. Many damage boosts and a death warp are included in the run which makes for a great race category.	Status: Pending Any% 00:12:00				NES
PJ	Bionic Commando	Bionic Commando is one of the most technical and fast-paced platformers on the NES. Lacking the ability to jump, Spencer relies entirely on his grappling hook to navigate the 12 unique areas and explod not-Hitler's 8-bit head. The 100% category plays every level in the game, collecting every item in the game (and one item that isn't actually in the game). 100% is significantly safer, has no truck RNG, and showcases some of the more creative and interesting levels in the game.	Status: Pending 100% 0:30:00				NES
CosmykTheDolfyn	Sonic All Star Racing Transformed	This is a great kart racing game speedrun, as the tracks are always changing and we switch between car, plane and boat. We go fast by linking drifts, drift boosts and fancy flips and rolls off almost every ramp. For a donation incentive, we can increase the AI difficulty I am racing against. There are no major skips, as this is the PC version and not XBox 360.	Status: Pending Forward Grand Prixs No Major Skips 1:25:00				PC
CosmykTheDolfyn	Shadow Dancer: The Secret Of Shinobi	This is an awesome genesis title where we must collect every hostage in a level to reach the exit, while everything kills us in one hit. This makes the routing dynamic and interesting. This is a game that I want to lower my time a bit in, have ran in multiple small marathons and can run non shuriken mode for a bonus incentive, which increases the difficulty without increasing the time.	Status: Pending Level 1 Non Shuriken Mode 0:17:00	Status: Pending Level 1 0:17:00			Sega Genesis
CosmykTheDolfyn	Barbie Game Girl	This is a goofy little Game Boy title that has some real speed strats and lag reduction techniques. I am submitting this as potential race with Johncarls. However, if the committee feels better as it as a solo run, John will be the runner and I could be backup runner.	Status: Pending any% 0:15:00				Super Game Boy 2
TheNannerpuss	Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep Final Mix HD	This run is done entirely at level 1 and on the hardest difficulty in the game, but is the fastest category. The key is equipping the ability "exp 0", which keeps us at level 1 as well as applies some buffs to the player, making our magic commands and our finishers do considerable damage. This let's us do a lot of damage to bosses making fights fast and exciting while still always having the risk of death present because of being at level 1.	Status: Pending Aqua's Story any% Critical Mode (lvl 1) 01:10:00				Playstation 3
CosmykTheDolfyn	Puyo Puyo Tsu Remix	This is a showcase of the highest level of Puyo Puyo Speedrunning. Rallye mode is the highest difficulty possible in a gen 2 Puyo Puyo game (generation 2 Puyo physics have never been seen at a GDQ). 33 levels that will be moving at mind boggling speeds and on the fly intuition and amazing skills. Potential race with Seckswrecks.	Status: Pending Rallye Mode 0:40:00				Super Famicon
CosmykTheDolfyn	The Next Penelope: Race To Oddysseus	This is an amazing Indie game that is totally unique in it's combo of high speed racing and flashy boss fights. Every shot I take damages myself, so health management is highly important and increases the tension at all times. Every single weapon in the game is abused in some way to go faster, and I have proven my commentary with this game in small marathons (such as Pre-ESA, where I got a 23:01 live).	Status: Pending Mines First 0:26:00				PC
eddaket	Pokémon Yellow	Pokémon Yellow, beaten as fast as possible without using save corruption. AGDQ saw Pokémon Yellow beaten as fast as possible without using glitches, but this run uses glitches a plenty! We run through the game with our trusty little Pikachu (and some help from Gengar) and beat the game in under an hour. Donation incentives can be made for for player and Pokémon names.	Status: Pending Any% No Save Corruption 00:45:00				Nintendo Gamecube
DarkLordDracula	Custom Robo Battle Revolution	This run starts at the selection of the "New Journey" game mode on a new file and ends on the final hit of the final boss. This game consists of mechs fighting other mechs in a virtual world. In order to run this game efficiently, a runner must maximize damage output while not taking damage because that causes longer hit animations. There are few runners for this game but it is a huge nostalgia trip for people that have played this game as a kid.	Status: Pending Any% New Journey 02:40:00				Nintendo Gamecube
gymnast86	The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D	Ocarina of Time 3D is a game that boasts numerous amounts of game-breaking glitches such as hookshot jumping, restricted items, and death hole wrong warping. People who have never seen this game in a speedrun setting before will definitely be amazed by all the crazy things that are possible to do. A 100% run is the paragon of Ocarina of Time 3D speedrunning and would be a great way for this game to make its debut into a GDQ.	Status: Pending 100% 5:10:00				Nintendo 3DS
sweetnumb	Super Metroid	I'm submitting as a backup for the any% race in case some of the European runners are unable to make it. My current best is a 43:20 but I'll definitely improve that time if running in this event. Submitting map completion since it's such a cool category and I can't just NOT submit it.

Sonicshadowsilver2	Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep Final Mix HD	We showcased Aqua (Critical) last year in SGDQ 2015, so now it's time to showcase Ventus (Critical). Like with Aqua (Critical), the entire run is done on Level 1 which means while you're able to die very easily, you're able to destroy some bosses due to the effects of EXP Zero like a glass cannon.	Status: Pending Any% (Critical Level 1) 1:20:00				Playstation 3
edzan	Metroid Prime	Metroid Prime is a high action speedrun, there are interesting tricks happening throughout and still plenty of time for Donations to be read. There have been little to no changes in the route and completion time since it's last appearance at AGDQ 2016 however things are always being discovered and new things might emerge before the event.	Status: Pending any% 1:25:00				Nintendo Wii
Raikaru	Ratchet & Clank	NG+ offers a wide variety of interesting tricks and skips, while more volatile, is a run packed with wow-factor. New tech and skips have been discovered recently making my current time slower. Willing to learn new tech if chosen over Any%. Any%, While a bit slower than NG+, is interesting in its minimalist nature. Completing the game with the least possible gear and bolts (currency).

Bounceyboy	Super Mario Sunshine	Super Mario Sunshine any% is one of the most popular and active speedgames currently, and as a result there are constantly new strats and movement. The game has not had a solo any% run since Toufool's run in 2013 and since then, pretty much every level has new strats and optimizations. I recently got the first sub 1:17, which is over 14 minutes faster than the WR at the time of Toufool's run. Submitting with a video of my 1:17:11 PB because it has better gameplay, just worse RNG than my 1:16.

Mr_Weables	Harvest Moon 64	Donation incentives for naming the player, farm, dog, horse, 3 cows, 6 chickens, baby, and a bidding war over which of 5 girls to marry. Photos are basically achievements, meaning I show off most of the game while using several exploits to cut back on grindy bits. In the wake of Stardew Valley's popularity, this definitely has an audience. Performed well in Collectathon 2, despite being graveyard shift.	Status: Pending All Photos 10:00:00				N64
Mr_Weables	Momodora 3	Has a hilarious bug where you jump higher by pausing and unpausing quickly. I do this by holding the Enter key with my toe because you still need both hands on the controller while doing it. Features an item that gives 5x damage while at low hp, forcing a cool looking playstyle and lots of hp management.	Status: Pending any% 00:10:00				PC
Mr_Weables	Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight	The Dark Souls of 2nd indie platformers. Killing bosses without taking damage gives special items to speed up the run. The game out a week ago, so expect something cleaner in a few months. Features the most adorable cat sprite in all of video gaming. Race with Trogdor.	Status: Pending any% normal 00:35:00				PC
Mr_Weables	The Curse of Issyos	Issyos is the next game from Locomalito, the developer of Maldita Castilla. Released in late 2015, the game is an homage to CV1. The run is all about careful d-boosts, killing bosses quickly, and not getting murdered by carelessness. Race with Pcull44444 to slay Hades.	Status: Pending any% 00:15:00				PC
Mr_Weables	Maldita Castilla	SGDQ 2015 runback race with Pcull44444. Tight platforming with minimal RNG in an indie GnG look-a-like. We like keep the commentary light and fun. We also like to hang out with the dark lord, Will Ferrell.	Status: Pending 100% 00:30:00				PC
Shaddex	Wrack	Since its appearance this past AGDQ, one more OOB has been found which skips an entire level. Wrack is an extremely fast-paced shooter inspired by Doom. Straferunning is used in combination with quickly killing enemies in order to build up combos used to blast through enemies. Skips involve boosting on top of enemies to jump over walls, rocket jumps, clipping through walls, and going OOB. No OOB is more interesting because it shows off three levels that would normally be skipped entirely.	Status: Pending Any% (Casual) 00:20:00	Status: Pending Any% (Casual, No OOB) 00:25:00			PC
Celestics	Warframe	Warframe is an popular third-person shooter that can easily bring in thousands of viewers and showcase GDQ to the huge playerbase. The Mastery Rank 1-20 run consists of completing 20 exams as fast as possible, utilizing the complex parkour system and diversity of weapon and character modification. All character builds are made solely for speed, which makes for a risky and entertaining run. If accepted, developer commentary is possible! Donation incentive for choosing my character color scheme.	Status: Pending Mastery Ranks 1-20 00:32:00				PC
Shaddex	Spy Chameleon: RGB Agent	A silly indie game where you play as a chameleon and attempt to get through levels without being detected. You do this by avoiding enemies and changing your colour to blend in with the background. This run requires extremely precise movement and quick reactions in order to avoid detection and speed through levels.	Status: Pending All Levels 00:30:00				PC
Dr4gonBlitz	Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland	Fast passed Movement with metaknight is difficult to perform in this execution based run.

Shaddex	The Wheel of Time	Since its appearance at SGDQ 2015, nothing has changed, but it's still amazing.

Dr4gonBlitz	Castlevania: Symphony of the Night	Castlevania SotN is a fast passed 2D Metroidvania with lots of speed tech and sequence breaks as well as some of the most absurd glitches in video game history.

YellowKillerBee	Quackshot Starring Donald Duck	This year I want to bring something new to the Disney block with Quackshot, which I don't believe has ever been featured in a GDQ before. This game is colorful and fun, yet is metroid-like in it's mechanics, allowing free travel from world to world as you collect new weapons and items which unlock new areas. The main speedrun elements are skips and challenging movement. There are lots of fun optimized boss fights, classically great animation, upbeat music and plungers galore!	Status: Pending any% 00:30:00				Sega Genesis
MartinForSlund	Rayman 2: Revolution	The most broken and the shortest Rayman game out there. Uses lots of cool tricks such as PMS (Playable Menu State), wrong warping and diagonal movement (makes you go 1.4x speed in comparison to moving forward). There is a few things that can be screwed up at the end but other than that the game is pretty consistent.	Status: Pending any% 00:15:00				PlayStation 2 (played on PS3)
YellowKillerBee	Mickey Mania	I ran the US version of this game at SGDQ last year. I felt it was well received, so now I would like to submit the Japanese version. The JP version has a new glitch, discovered in the last year, a megaman-like zip which looks really impressive. The warps are still there, as well as a lot of technical movement. Mickey Mania is a bright fun game with great animations and excellent music, and would make a great addition to the Disney Block.	Status: Pending any% JP 00:25:00				Super Nintendo
ellisdeez	NES Open Tournament Golf	A uniquely fast-paced golf game for its time, NES open requires constant split-second decisions to adjust for ever-changing RNG. This game demands unyielding precise execution from its beginning to its end. In addition, the ever-growing community for NES Open has become quite competitive, with world records often changing hands between the top players.	Status: Pending All Courses 00:40:00				NES
Prince_Leaf	The Flintstones: The Surprise at Dinosaur Peak!	The Flintstones 2 is a fairly consistent and safe speedrun for a marathon. Included in the run are precise movement mechanics and quick boss kill strats. There are a few tricks to use but nothing that really skips over much of the game. Sadly, there are three auto-scroll sections which amounts to about two minutes of donation time. RNG isn't a run killer. Even with bad RNG, I can still finish the game in under 18 minutes. My best is 15:25 on cart.	Status: Pending Any% 00:20:00				NES
M_tt	Skate 3	Skate 3 is a very quick skateboarding game, where the main goal of the game is to self-fund your very own skateboarding franchise. With optimal movement, speed glitches, checkpoint abuse, good menuing & sick tricks, this speedrun is just under 1 and a half hours long.	Status: Pending Any% 01:25:00				Xbox 360
Radioactive_Rat	Battletoads in Battlemaniacs	The Dark Queen is at it again! This run is a solo any% run. Battlemaniacs is sorta like Battletoads for the NES, but its a lot less difficult and isn't as long. There is one little glitch I do in this run to end a level a little bit quicker. I feel that Battlemaniacs should be in this marathon for the fact of this game never made an appearance in any past GDQ's. To make this a little more fun, I'm willing to do co-op% with anyone who knows this game as well as I do.	Status: Pending Any% 00:22:00				Super Nintendo
Radioactive_Rat	Space Ace	Our mission is to save Earth, save our companion, Kimmy, to defeat Borf and to regain our manhood back! You play as a wimpy character named Dex. We travel through various levels and we'll also travel through a huge section called Space Maze. You can get easily lost in Space Maze for the fact of the game doesn't give you a map. Gameplay wise, the controls aren't that terrible, but its still pretty bad. Also I should mention everything one hit kills you. Perfect game for the awful games block.	Status: Pending Any% 00:30:00				Super Nintendo
oniryu123	Illbleed	Ever watch a bad movie? How would you like to play a Bad movie? This is what this game is, it's like several bad movies rolled into one game, and its on the greatest console ever made the Dreamcast. It's a bit of fun mixed in with a little of WTF Japan. Great for bad games done quick, or for the horror block.	Status: Pending Any % (bad ending) 2:00:00				Dreamcast
Vaati	Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath	Quicksaves make for swift recoveries and easily completed runs. The gameplay switches from first to third person, requiring both modes to complete different skips and tricks throughout. If you've played the game casually, you'll be astonished by how much of it is skipped, while still leaving content in the game that is fun to execute and appealing to watch. The HD remake was in sgdq 2013 (different, longer category), and we've since found many new tricks and skips.	Status: Pending any% 00:55:00				Xbox
Mecha Richter	DinoCity	DinoCity is a game based off of a not-so-great movie starring some "rad" dinosaurs and children that seem to trust them right off the bat. The run mainly involves damage boosting and managing health that does NOT refill in between any stage. Rex's main attack is a punch attack while Tops' main attack is an arrow projectile. Possible donation incentive for character choice.	Status: Pending Any% with Rex 00:25:00	Status: Pending Any% with Tops 00:25:00			Super NES
Antilles58	Donkey Kong Country 2	DKC2 102% was very well received at AGDQ and continues to be one of the most popular speed games out there. The highlight of the any% run is wrong warps, which allow large portions of several stages to be skipped entirely. 102% shows off every stage in the game and adds the Lost World stages, which are especially challenging and have some very cool speed tech. Even the bonus stages introduce a lot of interesting movement. Submitting because I would love to see a DKC Trilogy 306% block.

Talcerase	Jazzpunk	Jazzpunk is a comedy adventure set in an alternate reality Cold War World, plagued with corporate espionage, CyberCrime, and sentient martinis. Trust me, that's about as much sense as this game will make in terms of plot without having witnessed it first hand. Jazzpunk is chock-full of Easter eggs and references to gaming/technological history. Plus, who doesn't love some Virtual Boy Tennis?	Status: Pending Any% Current Patch 00:20:00				PC
warm_ham	Super Meat Boy	Super Meat Boy is a seminal 2D indie platformer known for its split-second platforming and tight controls. In dark ending speedruns, we aim to unlock and defeat Dark Dr. Fetus to witness the "true ending" of the game as quickly as possible. This category, a sort of any% on steroids, blasts through almost 200 levels with only the main character at our disposal, making for a fast-paced, visually engaging, and extra-challenging speedrun.	Status: Pending Dark Ending 00:41:00				PC
MrCab	Super Mario World	This submission is for a co-op race through all 96 exits of the classic Super Mario World with myself & Truman vs. Skybilz & Authorblues. Features the extra routing challenge of making Green Mario and Mario finish about the same number of levels. (PB Video single player because of long distances between race partners).	Status: Pending 96 Exits 2P 1:45:00				SNES
Saint Connor	Inspector Gadget	Inspector Gadget is sent on a mission from Chief to save his niece Penny from the clutches of Dr. Claw in this side scrolling action platformer. Uses sub-weapons and resource management similar to that of CV4. Precision jumps, along with utilizing damage boosts and the sub-weapon system that allows for quick climbing in vertical stages, flying through and over hazards, and ripping though bosses in a flash, makes for a fast and entertaining run.	Status: Pending Any% 00:25:00				SNES
Timzy88	Bram Stoker's Dracula	I stumbled upon this less-than-popular game during my Retro Conquest, which I have been pursing following my time competing in the 2015 Nintendo World Championships in L.A. I will admit this game can be comical due to it's strange boss fights and the fact that it does not follow the story line of Bram Stoker's Dracula. I currently am 6th in the world for this game on speedrun.com. The speedrun is brief, which makes it a perfect "appetizer" for viewers online at at SGDQ.	Status: Pending Any% Easy Mode 00:10:00				NES
CardsOfTheHeart	The Land Before Time	Have you seen a dinosaur double-jump? Have you seen an auto-scroller's auto-scrolling broken so badly that it carried over to other stages? Have you seen a death warp in a boss fight where YOU die and the BOSS is warped to a different location? You'll get all that and a bag of chips with this movie-series-based platformer. My 2014 record run of this game was recently published on SDA.	Status: Pending any% 00:15:00				Game Boy Advance
Blood_Thunder	BioShock	Since it's appearance at AGDQ '14, this run has found major skips to get past the remaining cutscenes in the game. We can hop past electrobolt and leave Andrew Ryan behind by saving+loading as well as abusing High FPS to get over walls. New deathwarps help to cut down on backtracking and keep things interesting.	Status: Pending Any% 0:50:00				PC
Celestics	Sonic Riders	Riders is a Sonic spin-off focusing on balancing air usage and speed boosts to clear racetracks. The game was a success on the Sonic Speed Marathon, with the category bid war (also possible at SGDQ!) raising a huge portion of the donations. Ring/drift optimization, pause buffering, gravity field exploits, and OoB respawn glitches make for a flashy run, and an intricate trick system invites Twitch chat participation! All Stories is possible (both back-to-back). Potential race with Trifang.	Status: Pending Heroes Story 00:18:00	Status: Pending Babylon Story 00:18:00			PC

theboyks	Pepsiman	Pepsiman is a very difficult "Temple Run" style of game where our hero has to save San Francisco from rioting due to a single empty soda machine, become Tony Hawk, quench the thirst of people stuck on top of a burning building, and more silliness. Speed tech involves avoiding slowdowns, running at optimal points to avoid eaten inputs, avoiding cans, & abusing glitches to squeeze by obstacles.

Blood_Thunder	White Day: A Labyrinth Named School	Only released in Korea, this 2001 Horror game takes us into the story of a young boy sneaking into school to deliver candy for his crush. This run contains high octane thrills and chills as we run through the school; fighting off spooky ghost, living trees, and murderous janitors is pretty easy when love is on your side. Donation Incentive for various custom character skins.	Status: Pending Any% 0:18:00				PC
Blood_Thunder	Wolfenstein: The New Order	Following Wolfenstein: The Old Blood's appearance at AGDQ '16, this game continues where we left off with our hero, B.J. Blazkowicz. This game features swimming oob, skipping death triggers, checkpoint warping, activating buttons through floors/walls, hit-box manipulation, and plenty of old fashioned Nazi killing fun. Nowhere is safe, we'll kill Nazi's on land, under the ocean and even on the moon in a quest to save the world and get the girl.	Status: Pending Any% 1:45:00				PC
Trogdor	Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight	Quite a bit longer than previous titles in the series, Momodora 4 has many items to collect and bosses to defeat. This run obtains the leaf upgrade to unlock the true final boss (and be able to watch the credits, otherwise bad things happen and it's not a good "ending"). I am submitting for a race with Mr_Weables.	Status: Pending any% Normal 00:40:00				PC
Trogdor	Mighty Gunvolt	Mighty Gunvolt is a triple crossover game combining elements and characters from Azure Striker Gunvolt, Mighty No. 9, and Gal*Gun. I would be playing Beck, who can charge a dash attack which does more damage than his normal shots. He can also dash/slide, which makes his movement a little more involved than the other 2 characters, Ekoro and Gunvolt. All Stages includes the 4 DLC levels, Factory, Bio Lab, Highway, and Gym.	Status: Pending All Stages (Beck) 00:20:00				PC
Trogdor	Mega Man X2	This category is pretty brutal, not gonna sugarcoat it. Since you're not able to get any upgrades, bosses and regular enemies' contact damage is very high, making it a totally different run than any%, where you get all the X upgrades and Shoryuken everything. Violen, Serges, the boss rush, and the final gauntlet of Zero, Neo Sigma, and Wireframe Virus are the highlights of this run for sure.	Status: Pending low% 00:50:00				SNES
MrZeratheMant	Doraemon: Nobita and the Fairy Country	Doraemon, the beloved blue robot cat from Japan. This is the first of 4 games for the Super Famicom. Pretty interesting platformer that looks like an RPG even though it isin't. This game was never released in North America or Europe. I thought of a marathon safe Any% route which isin't too much slower from the real Any% route. I would love to showcase this adorable blue robot cat this year.

The 100% category for this game collects all the items that are scattered around the game and plays the stage that is skipped in Any% (because there is very important stuff in the stage). I would love to have the chance to showcase this adorable blue robot cat.	Status: Pending 100% 01:08:00				Super Nintendo
MrZeratheMant	Doraemon 4: Nobita and the Moon Kingdom	This is the 4th Doraemon game for the Super Famicom. A rather interesting platformer with only 4 worlds and a few autoscrollers here and there. A pretty simple game, looks almost like Super Bonk. I can play with the severely broken English Patch for the lols.	Status: Pending Any% 00:55:00				Super Nintendo
MrZeratheMant	Donkey Kong Country	Donkey Kong Country 101% hasn't been in a GDQ since 2014, and sure enough, we have a brand new route that is 30 seconds faster than what was played at AGDQ 2014. This new route obtains 101% while skipping the boss of World 2. If the idea of a DKC 306% relay is a thing, I'd like to be the one to run DKC1, but if not, then that's ok, I'd love to showcase the new route!!	Status: Pending 101% 00:57:00				Super Nintendo
MrZeratheMant	Donkey Kong Country	Please be aware that this is the Japanese version of DKC and the timing method of the Japanese version is completely different from the US version!! This is the Any% of the Japanese version, and it is a little longer because the mapwarp glitch doesn't work on the J version. We do incorporate a wrong warp in the first level in place of the mapwarp, so that's exciting.	Status: Pending Any% New Summon-J 00:20:00				Super Nintendo
ChaosArtisan	Prompt	Hardcore platformer, many frame and pixel perfect tricks in it. The objective of this run is to collect all the keys in the game, which showcases all the most interesting parts of the game, and plays through all levels.	Status: Pending All Keys 00:15:00				PC
TheMotherBrain86	Demon Sword	This ninja can run fast. This ninja can jump over trees. This ninja will do battle with the devil, the pope, and George Washington. Oh, and there's also a sword that gets bigger and more gnarly looking as the run goes on. What else could you ask for in a ninja game? This video is from the BestOfNES marathon and it is a race, as so we would like to do at sgdq. Digshake will be providing the commentary.	Status: Pending any% 00:20:00				NES
Bingchang	Quest 64 (Eletale Monsters)	Quest hasn't been at a GDQ in a while, and recently (last may) there have been 2 interesting glitches found, OOB and Cloning. It makes the run more reliable as well as more interesting. For US Any% the cloning is more significant, as well as there are 2 more OOB, I believe the US Any% is the most interesting run with skipping 2 bosses as well as the US ability to clone more spirits overall. However the run is much more reliant on RNG. (I would have a memory card with necessary saves.)	Status: Pending JP All spirits 02:35:00	Status: Pending US Any% 2:20:00			Nintendo 64
Skybilz	Oregon Trail 1.2	It’s time for Skybilz and the Sky Brigade, SMW Crew, RGL Crew, and SGDQ Chat to go back on the Oregon Trail! The wagon crew will encounter the same hazards as last year plus dealing with spoiled food and wagon weight difficulties. This time, Skybilz will also have the added feature of being a Doctor who can save someone from near death. Will SGDQ chat finally die of dysentery?	Status: Pending any% Doctor 00:15:00				PC
Skybilz	Star Fox	This submission is desired to be a race between myself (Skybilz) and Lowkeee doing Level 1 any% Warpless. This run showcases the memorable stages of the original Starfox like Corneria and Space Armada while also showing off newly developed strategies to reduce lag and to optimize the routing in the stages including the bosses. Our estimate is 25 minutes and a donation incentive to kill or save the animals can be embedded by letting our teammates live or die.	Status: Pending Level 1 Warpless 00:25:00				Super Nintendo
Skybilz	Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels	The any% D-4 category shows all of the best features and stages of Lost Levels in a short time frame. Both “final levels” are shown as well as where the best warps are located in the game. Because this is the Super Famicom version, the player can immediately proceed to the letter levels after 8-4. Luigi is used because he has the better and more consistent route. In addition, the player is granted infinite lives and continues with little to no penalty for dying.	Status: Pending any% D-4 00:20:00				Super Nintendo
Skybilz	Smart Ball	Smart Ball is a platformer about a boy named Jerry who gets transformed into a blob. Jerry must save his girlfriend from an evil sorcerer who was hired by his best friend to steal Jerry’s girlfriend. Since Jerry is a blob, he is able to stick to ceilings and walls, which enables the player to perform some skips that would otherwise not be possible without these unique physics.	Status: Pending any% 00:25:00				Super Nintendo
mashystrr	Rocket: Robot on Wheels	This game is a platformer that uses a grapple mechanic coupled with surprisingly good physics for an N64 game to create an experience not to be forgotten. Rocket also uses a variety of vehicles from a hotdog car to a motorcycle with bat wings. His freeze ray is broken and does everything from skipping animations to clipping slightly into walls. Also, did I mention that all the world names are bad puns?	Status: Pending any% 1:10:00				N64
Astrious	Vexx	Vexx follows a similar formula to Super Mario 64, you collect Wraithhearts to power doors to access worlds. Vexx is notably more challenging than most platformers. The any% category requires 60 to reach the final boss. To cut down on time I utilise many tricks including double/triple jump glitches, heart duplication and AI manipulation. Dev commentary is available for the run. I am experienced in presenting speedrunning, having hosted three speed panels (2 in PAX Aus '15) with positive feedback.	Status: Pending any% 01:48:00				Nintendo Wii
MrCab	Super Mario Land	The launch title for the original Game Boy, Super Mario Land is a short but fast paced platformer with some tight jumps and almost-never-stop holding right action. This offer is for a race with ProtoMagicalGirl. Game would be run on Super Game Boy 2.	Status: Pending any% 00:17:00				Game Boy (Super GB 2)
Alex Anderson	Goldeneye 007	Goldeneye 007 is a well regarded FPS with a very large speed running community. It has been in many GDQs in various forms. This run is a run through 00 agent which cuts out the extra content of 100%. It's a total of 20 missions long. I have ran this game in previous GDQs and feel they have been pretty well received. My PB is 38:25 which is about 1 minute off of world record but 3rd place. Marathon strats for safety would average a time of 45:00. Eliters may be available to commentate/race	Status: Pending 00 agent (hard mode) 0:50:00				N64
MrCab	Super Adventure Island 2	Super Adventure Island 2 is an action platformer that feels like a spiritual sequel to Zelda 2, featuring fast, fluid movement, along with strategic damage boosts and deathwarps to skip stage segments. Underrated SNES game with great music and a damsel who cant decide what dress or wig she should be wearing. Submitting as potential race between myself, Ppotdot1, and Lackattack24	Status: Pending any% 1:00:00				SNES
MrCab	Uniracers	Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be an autonomous unicycle racing on a floating tube against other autonomous unicycles? WELL THEN UNIRACERS IS THE GAME FOR YOU! This game is stupid amounts of fun on the SNES. Proposing a race with Aweglib for either all the bronzes (EZ mode) or the 8 non-RNG filled golds (each circuit once). Incentive to see us suffer the RNG Hell of Hunter.	Status: Pending 6 Bronzes 00:40:00	Status: Pending 8 Circuits 1:00:00			SNES
LowKeeee	Star Fox	This run would be me showcasing a very exciting and interesting route, which contains plenty of new boss strategies and optimizations on the routing of every stage. The infamous Plasma Hydra makes its debut here, producing a great show for the audience. This would go hand in hand with the Level 1 race very well and a donation incentive of saving or killing your teammates (animals) would surely be a lot of fun! My estimate would be around 25 minutes.	Status: Pending Level 2 Any% Warpless 00:25:00				Super Nintendo
JintekiNisei	Hohokum	Hohokum, a psychedelic hide-n’-sneak snake simulation and popular PS+ spotlight, features gorgeous ever changing visuals, inviting and exciting music and fun family-friendly gameplay. Run features cutscene skips, during cutscene game manipulation, and a plenty of slick movement. The tricks are fun and save time, but accuracy and flexibility are key. You won’t see the same thing twice and each level is unique from moment to moment. It’s easy to start watching but hard to take your eyes off.	Status: Pending any% 00:42:00				Playstation 4
Barrowsmane	Fallout	I think that Fallout should be in the marathon because it is an easy game to get into, so it'll attract those looking to get into speedrunning but don't know where to start. It is also a classic game, and I know there are plenty of people, myself included, who love watching speedruns of classic games.	Status: Pending All Good Endings 00:17:00	Status: Pending Max Quest 01:10:00			PC
LowKeeee	Star Fox	This submission is desired to be a race between me and Skybilz. As a race, the strategies/routing will become very apparent to the viewers. This run showcases the memorable stages of the original Starfox like Corneria and Space Armada, while also showing off newly developed strategies to reduce lag and to optimize the routing in the stage including the boss. Our estimate is 25 minutes and a donation incentive to kill or save the animals can be embedded to letting our teammates live or die.	Status: Pending Level 1 Any% Warpless 00:25:00				Super Nintendo
_VB	The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures	Level based Zelda that's over 2 hours of non-stop action. Many different techniques are used to clip through walls and enemies, as well as various other techniques to skip over a ton of the game's 24 levels. Along with glitches, the movement and multitasking involved in this run are mind-boggling to watch. Possible incentive for co-op glitch showcase.	Status: Pending Any% 02:30:00				Wii
takaze	Child of Light	An RPG with just enough downtime between fights to communicate what to be expecting next. Fights that could be derailed due to bad RNG have greatly decreased the chance of bad RNG having a major effect. Very artistically and musically appealing.	Status: Pending NG Any% 1:35:00				PC
Zmaster91	The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures	Four Swords Adventures is a very unique run when it comes to Zelda speedruns. The game requires management of four different characters and adaptation at almost all times. In addition, the game's formation mechanics really break the levels wide open allowing pretty much all of the backtracking (and much more) to be skipped completely. Since its last showing, the run has changed quite a lot (>20 minutes of new findings) and even has a 1p2c section at the very end of the game.	Status: Pending any% 2:20:00				Wii/GC/GBA
progamingwithed	Fallout 3	Fallout 3 has been in the last two sgdqs and has been well received by viewers. New strats and set ups have brought the any% run down by five minutes since last year. All quests is the most popular category among fallout 3 fans because it has the same fast pace as any% while still covering most of the game and includes things like combat and talking to npcs. As a donation incentive for all quests I could also collect all of the bobbleheads which would add 10 minutes to the run.	Status: Pending any% 00:18:00	Status: Pending All Quests 01:50:00			PC
LivelyRaccoon	Bomberman 64: The Second Attack	A lesser known sequel to Bomberman 64. The game has seven bomb types used throughout the run that make it more varied and interesting. There's several small skips throughout, and a few big ones done by making bomb towers (http://bombch.us/1yZ). The run revolves around quick clearing of enemies to progress through rooms and good execution on bosses.	Status: Pending Good Ending 01:25:00				Nintendo 64
LivelyRaccoon	Hook	Platformer based on the movie of the same name. The run involves some cool tricks involving the game's flying mechanics as well as some that utilize enemies for damage boosting/clipping.	Status: Pending Any% 00:20:00				Super Nintendo
Drumboardist	The Chaos Engine/Soldiers of Fortune	Three-Quarters, Top-Down, Run-and-Gun game that was released for EVERYTHING. (However, I play the SNES version.) A Steampunk Victorian England turned into a nightmarish landscape due to the....Chaos Engine! (PAL-title.) Picking two Soldiers of Fortune (US-title), I carefully save my in-game pennies so I can grant myself invincibility and hug enemies to death. Hard game. Yet another "not seen at a GDQ" game. Stylized and pretty, for a SNES game.	Status: Pending Any% (single-segment RTA) 00:35:00				Super Nintendo
Drumboardist	Target Earth	War! Cybernator (one of my other submissions) is actually the sequel to this...uh...classic Genesis game? More robots flyin' around in space, blowin' stuff up. Notoriously hard to get past the first stage, let alone the rest of the game. Was recently re-released for the PS4 with fancy upgraded graphics and such, so...why not revisit the the original? (Also, the soundtrack is kickin'.) Never seen at a GDQ, I'm hopin' to end that streak!	Status: Pending Any% 00:35:00				Sega Genesis
Aquas	Assault	Assault is an arcade game by Namco, 1988. In which you drive a tank, controlling each tread with a joystick in each hand (in the case of emulating through MAME). The objective of each stage is to destroy the giant turrets within the time limit. In the 1 credit clear, time is an issue, when some stages force you to use the full time alotted (thus, using an extra life) to complete the stage. Assault is another case of 1 credit clear versus speed to portray it's intensity.	Status: Pending any% 00:40:00				PC or Playstation
Aquas	Dai Makaimura (Ghouls 'N Ghosts)	The genesis port of Ghouls 'N Ghosts is pretty true to the Arcade, but on a lesser scale with downgraded graphics and music. Most people know this port of the game, and it was requested of me to submit this port specifically by viewers of the SGDQ '15 GnG (PS2) run I did. The estimate is slightly higher due to longer loading times between stages and deaths.	Status: Pending any% 00:21:00				Genesis
Drumboardist	Cybernator	War! Cybernator is a aesthetically-pleasing (in other words "fly") SNES game that has yet to grace the screens of a GDQ. I am the current WR holder for the game, maximizing my ability to dash past enemies and hurl hot liquid fire at my enemies! Looks good visually, what with the big robots roasting people in space. No glitches that I know of for this run, so it's just heavily optimized flash-and-dash. (Timer started from the title menu, so add 30 seconds for a "Power On" estimate.)

Caerulius	The Firemen	The term "it's lit" originated from this little known SNES title, starring two fiery young professionals in their mission to put out flames and look good doing it. The Firemen features some of the spiciest speed action of 2016: sizzling damage boosts, scorching boss battles, and more. Across 6 scalding stages, this speedrun is sure to leave the crowd burning with excitement. Willing to race this with other runners.	Status: Pending any% 00:30:00				SNES

Aquas	Ghouls 'N Ghosts	Ghouls 'N Ghosts is an arcade game built on a fresh experience on each play-through due to the amount of RNG involved as a whole. The tension of 1 credit clear married with speed is it's allure. Not much has changed with the any% route of Ghouls 'n Ghosts, so I am introducing a category I call: "Fire-water preferred". The idea is: get the Fire-water (aka torch) and keep it as best possible. This category encourages more improvisation, skill and is more interesting and fun.	Status: Pending Fire-water preferred 00:24:00	Status: Pending any% 00:20:00			PS2
Aquas	Gimmick!	The big change to Gimmick! is the inclusion of a 30 second time-saving glitch known as the "Hiyoko zip". The glitch involves an easy trick of throwing a bomb against the Stage 4 boss (Hiyoko) in a 20-frame window. This activates the glitch and allows us to clip through ceilings and walls going right-wards. We use it to skip the mine-cart section of stage 5 entirely. The altered ceiling property also changes how we play slightly, after it's activated.	Status: Pending Best Ending 00:14:00	Status: Pending any% 00:10:00			NES
Jovo	Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon	Blood Dragon is a parody of 80's action films, showcasing great one-liners and a killer soundtrack. The speedrun features fast and frantic gunplay, interesting and precise movement, and the best two minute long donation reading section in a game to date. I have featured the game at both Wolfpackathon 2015 and the Hayai Kawaii Marathon 2015, and would love to bring it to the big stage.	Status: Pending Any% 00:55:00				PC

NG+ is completely broken thanks to an item that lets you perform an infinite jump glitch that we use throughout the run. In the All Brushes category your goal is to collect all the missing techniques of the "Celestial Brush" and their upgrades. It also shows off the majority of the game that you don't get to see in Any%, along with new glitches and tricks found in just the last few months.	Status: Pending NG+ All Brushes 2:40:00				PS3

Quick man is the most used due to his high speed, but every robot gets his their chance to shine. With clever bosses, including the best final wily fight you'll ever see, this game answers the question of who has the greater arsenal, the robots from mm2, or the robots from mm3?

Lastly	TRI: Of Friendship and Madness	TRI is a puzzle platformer and is a pretty fantastic speedgame. The game is very demanding as it is constant execution the entire way through with only a few seconds between each level. The Bending Light Upgrade category completes two-thirds of the levels and is very optimized so getting a good time requires a lot of practice.

Since then, new routes and tech have been discovered that have pushed the WR time down by nearly a minute. This run relies on solid execution throughout rather than make-or-break tricks.

puwexil	Final Fantasy VI	One of the best known & loved JRPGs on the SNES. The Japanese version has an equipment glitch that allows equipping unintended items like Tools & Shurikens. Glitched equipment has a variety of effects on characters' stats and other abilities; and makes for a very different speedrun from any category of the English version. Glitchless (done on the English version) uses the Esper system, equipment/relics, and enemy AI manipulation in order to defeat bosses without use of insta-death glitches.

Omnigamer	Suikoden II	Suikoden II is among the most lauded RPGs in the PS1 library, or even of all time. The gameplay varies between 3 different battle types and showcases one of the most powerful stories of any RPG. The speedrun uses many creative strategies over the course of the game in addition to a number of glitches and mechanics abuses. The Suikoden Revival Movement should also serve as a good resource to drum up advertising and excitement for the run. Many donation incentives are also available.	Status: Pending any% 6:15:00				PSN
Omnigamer	Hagane	Hagane features a cyborg ninja taking on a rival clan to prevent a nuclear apocalypse. It is well-known for its difficulty, but is also very technical with a number of weapons and special attacks at your disposal.

A number of new tricks and optimizations have been found since it last appeared at SGDQ 2013.	Status: Pending any% 00:20:00				SNES

Any% entails the regular story mode of the game, including both platforming and simulation modes, while the Professional! mode is a more difficult version of game's platforming sections, requiring the runner to beat every act in the game with only a certain number of lives and most enemies have double the life and deal double the damage.

The gameplay is straightforward for viewers, but demands a great deal of adaptability from the runner to proceed quickly and safely.

I hold the world record in this game. There is risk of a permanent death happening, but as I have completed runs of this game many times, I can consistently complete a run. In addition, I have spoken with the developers, and they have said that they would travel to do couch commentary on the game.	Status: Pending Any% 1:00:00				PC

romscout	Castlevania: Symphony of the Night	SotN's been in every GDQ with a variety of categories, and risks becoming stale with standard speedruns. Blindfolded play would allow the game to earn more donations than ever before (assuming it's a bonus run with a high goal) and feature expert play that stands out to audiences far more than the tricks and movement already shown in previous runs. This route is extremely marathon safe but still requires incredible game knowledge and execution. This run would breathe new life into a GDQ classic!	Status: Pending Blindfolded 00:55:00				XBox 360
ButteryBeard	Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris	I don't know where to start with telling you guys why i want to submit this awesome game. It's a great run with alot of RNG influences that can really bump the run. I am the current WR holder (01:16:57) for New Game on this and i am very proud of that. This run is all about the right movement and timing, It looks so easy but it's actually a rough run and that's why it's so good! Everyday i find some shortcuts or little skips that makes this run perfect and improve my own record.	Status: Pending New Game Any% 1:30:00				PS4
sneaks	Mega Man X4	MopeyJoe and I are wanting to do a race between Zero and X in MMX4. This is the only X game that you could have race between the two characters. He and I have both had runs in GDQ's before. Although with Zero having a slight edge over X in time we have found a way to close the gap and make the race competitive by playing the Iris cut scene (a fan favorite) to even out the time differences. We could settle once and for all, with this race who is better X or Zero.	Status: Pending Zero 100% vs Mega Man X 100% Race 00:45:15				Playstation 2
breastickle	The Legend of Zelda	The Legend of Zelda low% is accomplished by skipping all heart containers (and sword upgrades), and only collecting the items necessary to progress through the dungeons and ultimately killing Gannon with the wood sword, silver arrows, and three total heart containers.	Status: Pending low% 01:30:00				Nintendo Entertainment System
Sefhighwind	McDonald's Treasure Land Adventure	McDonald's Treasure Land Adventure is one of the first games to be developed by Treasure Co. Ltd even though Gunstar Heroes would be their first title released. This run is to highlight the game as well as show concepts they would use in later titles. The game has not been featured in the event, and it would work well in a Treasure Block or an Obscure Game Block. My run features all four worlds without cut-scenes, and shows off how to skip a zip line puzzle in world four.	Status: Pending any % 00:30:00				Sega Genesis (US)
demoli	Psychonauts	3D platformer that involves jumping into peoples minds to save a psychic summer camp. This hasn't been run since SGDQ 2014, but is a much loved game due to its unique characters, art-style, and funny dialogue. The run visits and completes each mind, some only taking 2 minutes to finish. Runs are done on the PC version, which allows the runner to fly meaning many sections can be skipped. Recent crowdfunding for Psychonauts 2 raised 3.8 million dollars.	Status: Pending Any% 00:52:00				PC
Chelney	Mega Man 4	Mega Man 4 keeps the Slide from MM3 and adds the Charge Buster and balloon adapter for quick vertical movement. It has weapons that allow you to progress stages quickly (primarily flash stopper, pharaoh shot) As well as a couple damage boosts to manipulate zips.

CuteFluffyBunny	Fortified Zone	Vod is a marathon run with commentary that explains everything. #Fzone2016	Status: Pending any% all bosses 00:15:00				Game Boy
Cubeface	Unreal: Return to Na Pali	The expansion of Unreal. It's about half the time, has many of the same tricks and some new ones utilizing new weapons. A very similar run to the one I did in SGDQ 2015, but about 20 minutes shorter.	Status: Pending Any% Easy 0:25:00				PC
Cacheline	Jill of the Jungle: Jill Saves the Prince	An old DOS platformer made my Epic Megagames. It's the third game in a trillogy, where the first game was popular shareware game in the mid 90s. I've been working on this series off-and-on for close to 2 years now, and have done almost all of the routing myself. I think it's an interesting watch when coupled with knowledgeable commentary - the game can be pretty technical in places. (Note: the commentary was off the top of my head, and obviously needs some organization)	Status: Pending any% 00:19:00				PC + dosbox
Myriad Truths	Why Am I Dead At Sea	Why Am I Dead At Sea is a really obscure Steam game that almost no one seems to know about (which is why I started running it). It's a very interesting 'murder mystery' game with an art style that pays homage to Earthbound, which a lot of people find appealing. The run is pretty short and straightforward (very few RNG elements). This run is probably best suited for standby/backup status since it isn't a 'household name', but I feel the game really does deserve exposure to a wider audience.	Status: Pending any% 00:25:00				PC
Cynaschism	Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood	Ezio flies through the streets of Rome in the second game of the Ezio trilogy. Tricks include warping from changing outfits, blending beyond its bounds, and jumping in impossible spots like the Pantheon and the tombs underground. He can even build and train his brotherhood faster than ever. Vittoria agli Assassini.	Status: Pending Any% 3:40:00				PC
Shenanagans	Pokemon Yellow	With the 3DS VC releases Pokemon Yellow has never been more popular. The "NSC" category is a short category that gives a taste of several of the glitches that Pokemon has to offer. The last time this category was in a GDQ was at ADGQ 2011, Where SMK taught us all about the joys of a Pokemon Lets Play, but now that this category has been routed it's sure to be a great showing. This category would be great as a bonus incentive for the Pokemon block.	Status: Pending No Save Corruption 00:45:00				Gamecube (Gameboy Player)
Shenanagans	Pokemon Blue	RBA is an extremely fast paced and glitch intensive Pokemon run, that sets out to acquire all 8 badges in the opposite order as intended. This category would be a great addition to the Pokemon block as a bonus incentive.	Status: Pending Reverse Badge Acquisition 00:45:00				Gamecube (Gameboy Player)
Ahamplan	The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds	Since the last showing in sgdq 2014, the game has had some significant changes in the route and game alone. Some of which include new tricks such as desert skip, and skipping getting the triforce. which have some insane effects The game itself also has some crazy optimizations which are really cool to see and both audiences casual and speedrunners will enjoy, and is a great game overall!	Status: Pending any% 1:35:01				Nintendo 3ds
WMD_88	realMyst: Masterpiece Edition	A real-time 3D, modern (2014), fluidly-moving rendition of the classic puzzle/adventure game. Unlike Any%, which can be completed in less than two minutes, All Pages requires you to collect everything you would normally need to finish the game. The game has no RNG and few noteworthy glitches, so a good time is based on optimal movement and memorizing the puzzle solutions. I hold the best time (34:15) for this category in free-roam movement mode.	Status: Pending All Pages 00:40:00				PC
Chelney	Mega Man 3	Unlike previous MM3 runs at GDQ this run would be following a new route (Magnet First) Since this game is before the charge buster it is very mash intensive. It also introduced the slide mechanic making each screen very quick if movement is clean. I would be submitting this purely as a race (or as a relay) If solo run is preferred I will back out for Fastatcc.	Status: Pending any% 00:40:00				Nintendo Entertainment System
Buckeye729	Limbo	Limbo, at its core is a puzzle game. The challenge of running Limbo comes from optimizing these puzzles. The run itself has a few challenging skips, but none, that if failed, threaten to completely derail the run. The Hard Route is particularly entertaining as it is almost entirely blind for the runner. For the non hard-route portions, Limbo has an engaging and unique visual style. With Playdead's "Inside" being released later this year, this is a great time to visit the world of Limbo.	Status: Pending any% - Normal Route 00:45:00	Status: Pending any% - Hard Route 00:40:00			PS4 or PC
No_Worries	Shining Force: The Legacy of Great Intention	SF1 was the game that got me into speedrunning. It is turn-based RPG with fantastic music and a classic story-line. Full of time saves, tricks, and even some simple game bugs, the game strays from traditional RPGs as we always strive to go from A to B as quickly as possible, keeping in mind C as our final objective. A great game to race with Ty2358	Status: Pending any% 6:00:00				Sega Genesis
No_Worries	Shining Force II: The Ancient Seal	Right to the point: SF2 is accepted for RPGLB and being played as a coop between myself and Bowie the hero. Bringing this game to a GDQ has been a long ambition of ours, and the time has dropped by 12% since AGDQ and nearly 30% since last June. The game is a turn-based RPG similar to Fire Emblem with addicting music and gameplay, and a very enjoyable replay value even for speed runs. The route has eliminated many sources of RNG, and really speeds up from the halfway point.	Status: Pending any% 6:00:00				Sega Genesis
No_Worries	Shining Force: Resurrection of the Dark Dragon	SF for the GBA is a remastered version of the classic Gens game. It introduces better graphics and overall better gameplay, introducing 3 new characters, one of which completely breaks the game. It is a very fun and entertaining speed run, bordering on "platformer" despite being an RPG, due to the number of tricks that are performed throughout the run; not to mention the overall faster gameplay compared to the classic Gens version.	Status: Pending any% 4:45:00				Game Boy Advanced
TheAJJohnson	Alien Hominid	Alien Hominid Any% is a run dedicated to optimizing boss fights using advanced techniques and manipulating the characteristics of different power-ups. As the world record holder of this category I can provide detailed commentary and theory behind optimizing fight patterns. A great potential donation incentive is selecting a custom hat/costume for the main character to wear throughout the run.	Status: Pending Any% 01:15:00				Nintendo Gamecube
TheAJJohnson	The Hobbit	The Hobbit features multiple instances of visually impressive sequence breaks in order to progress through the route as quickly as possible. The Any% run pushes this game to its limits by demonstrating the majority of known glitches while showcasing optimal movement. Donation incentives can include debuting beta levels only seen by the developers and a few runners of the community.	Status: Pending Any% 00:50:00				Nintendo Gamecube
TheAJJohnson	SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom	Being a category with optimized routing and extremely visually impressive tricks, Battle for Bikini Bottom Any% is always an entertaining and fast pace run to watch. The game itself has not been featured in a Games Done Quick marathon in the past. I have commentated for the SGDQ 2015 run of Banjo-Tooie and will have equally prepared and professional commentary for this run with in depth explanation of all major tricks.	Status: Pending Any% 01:30:00				Xbox 360

Cantaloupeme	The Legend of Zelda	This game doesn't need much introduction. The staple of NES classics right here. Celebrating its 30th year this time.

Connor75	Donkey Kong 64	DK64 is known for its glitches, and 101% is the perfect category to display all of them while collecting everything in this massive game. 101% has never been at a GDQ, but has proven to be DK64’s most popular and entertaining category. Over the years, the category has been getting faster and faster due to many route changes and new glitches making it viable for a GDQ showing. This would be a co-op run with the other runners who submit.	Status: Pending 101% Co-op 6:05:00				Wii U VC
Cantaloupeme	Zelda 2 The Adventure of Link	Submitting the NES version as well for a race between top runners if interested. The Zelda 2 tourney was very well received a few months ago. So if others are interested a 2-4 player Race would go really well.	Status: Pending 100% All Keys 1:22:00				NES
Cantaloupeme	Zelda 2 The Adventure of Link FDS	The second Zelda game released on the NES, mixed RPG elements with side scrolling action. This run will Feature the Famicon Disc System Version of this game. It has different sprites, animations, music, sound effects. With a different Leveling system as the american version has. This version isn't as known as the NES version. Several bosses are changed, Dark Link can be tougher at times. Easier run at the start, but gets harder at end game. I currently hold the WR for 100% all keys category FDS.	Status: Pending 100% All Keys 1CC 1:23:00				NES/FDS
eddaket	Pokémon Blue	A category that is sure to baffle the viewers, Reverse Badge Acquisition has one, and only one, goal in mind: Achieve all 8 badges...backwards! Through the use of glitches, we travel through the game and defeat each gym leader in the opposite order in which they appear on the trainer card. A fun and relatively short run that shows off a good amount of glitches, this run is sure to wow the audience as just scratches the surface of how this classic game can be broken.	Status: Pending Reverse Badge Acquisition 00:40:00				Nintendo Gamecube
Klaige	Castlevania: Rondo of Blood	The prequel to SOTN plays like a classic CV with some very unique movement tools. The ability to moonwalk and backflip makes this run much more about evading enemies than constant damage boosts like many classic CVs. Any% uses only Richter which makes for a more challenging and entertaining dash to defeat Dracula. Donation incentive for file name is an option as well.	Status: Pending Any% 00:30:00				Wii Virtual Console
Klaige	Shatterhand	A late NES era platformer that boasts some really fun mechanics including fence climbs and the use of robot helpers. This game is fast paced with an excellent 8 bit look and soundtrack. The maximization of collecting enough money drops to use on powerups makes for an entertaining route as our hero Steve H. punches his way through bullets and enemies alike.	Status: Pending any% 00:30:00				NES
ProDread	BattleTanx: Global Assault	BattleTanx: Global Assault has been one of my favorite N64 games growing up. The game has a good variety of powerups to show off along with shortcuts and glitches. I believe it would a great game to show off due to its simplicity and it's very easy to pick up and start speedrunning.	Status: Pending Any% 00:35:00				Nintendo 64

Status: Pending 101% Co-op 6:05:00				Wii U VC
PixelKaye	Rygar	For both categories - Runner is willing to participate in a race. Rygar has been showcased at SGDQ in the past and was well received by the community as it is still considered obscure, but well known enough that people were excited to reminisce about it. Glitchless w/ Death Warps abuses taking quick deaths to get back to previous entrances to areas quickly as to move faster through to new areas, while avoiding glitches like boss warping to get to the endgame quickly.

2dos	Donkey Kong 64	Any% has not been at a GDQ since AGDQ 2014, and the run is completely different since it was last shown. The final level is now done first due to a relatively new warping glitch, and you can completely skip freeing kongs other than DK due to the main menu moves glitch. 101% has been getting faster and faster due to several route changes and new glitches, and is now fast enough where a GDQ showing could be viable. 101% would be a co-op run with the other runners who submit.

PixelKaye	Legend of Mana	For Dragon - VOD is out of date, as route has significantly changed in the past 6 months to reduce grind requirements, plus little to no boss stunlocking anymore. Artifact map placement is now more precise and new minion added to route. For Jumi/Faerie - Runs that have never seen marathons before, add significant amounts of value, bosses, and alternatives to showcase WHY we love running this game as much as the community does.

While I only have a video of my 01:12:22 time, I have achieved times of around 01:08:00 while streaming. I will be willing to record a video of me getting a time around that timeslot if you wish. What makes the run truly special is my age, as I am only a 16 year old gamer. I think showing a range of age could be interesting to watch. Do not worry, I am mature for my age.

Funkmastermp	Super Hexagon	With the astounding success of very fast high skill games such as Tetris and Stepmania, Super Hexagon keeps with the pace! Being a game that focuses on reaction based gameplay, Super Hexagon wows even the best of gamers. With the almost mesmerising gameplay and fast reaction requirement, Super Hexagon might just be able to keep this success going!	Status: Pending All Difficulties 00:25:00				PC
SonicScrewdrivr	KALIMBA	Kalimba is a fun and entertaining puzzle-platformer where you control two totems simultaneously to complete levels.

Oh, and there's also a sword that gets bigger and more gnarly looking as the run goes on. What else could you ask for in a ninja game? This video is from the BestOfNES marathon and it is a race, however I am providing most of the commentary.	Status: Pending any% 00:16:00				NES

johncarls	Barbie Game Girl	This is the Super Metroid of portable fashion platformers. Barbie has to get ready for her date with Ken, obvi, and we are here to help her! This belongs in Awful Games block. The game involves precise platforming and some new strats (such as using aerobic Barbie!) that improved the WR by 1:12. The game is random and fun, and I believe the GDQ crowd would enjoy it (be a mermaid! free crabs! fight a jukebox!). Could involve some fun bonus incentives. Willing to embarrass myself for charity.	Status: Pending any% 00:12:00				GameBoy
johncarls	Alien Syndrome	Alien Syndrome is an overhead run and gun arcade game that was ported to almost every system. The run involves constant RNG enemy action (no two runs are the same), insanely weird boss sprites, and interesting weapon strats to quickly kill bosses. Though the game is hectic, deaths are so minor (cost about 2 seconds) that the run is safe for a marathon. It is an NES game not many people have seen run (rare these days). Video is the WR. Bonus incentive for character selection: Mary or Ricky.	Status: Pending any% 00:15:00				NES
Heinki	Tomb Raider Anniversary	Most Tomb Raider games are incredibly interesting speedruns but TR: Anniversary definitely takes the cake in this case, being the pinnacle of the series in terms of just how broken it is, all thanks to a peculiar glitch called air walking which would truly make Amnesia runners proud as 80% of the run is spent OOB, allowing us to skip puzzles and otherwise annoying and slow event triggers. That coupled with the ability to cancel fall damage makes TR: Anniversary a fantastic watch in any marathon.	Status: Pending any% 01:00:00				PC
Heinki	Metal Gear Rising	Metal Gear Rising (NG+ Category) is a fast and action heavy hack'n'slash experience. Most arbitrary fights including bosses can be done in mere seconds, utilizing specific attack patterns, weapon combinations and AI manipulation while everything else is skipped and/or made ten times faster thanks to going OOB with pole arm jumps and precise maneuvering around battle triggers/avoiding enemy sight using a trusty cardboard box which already became a hallmark of the Metal Gear series.	Status: Pending any% NG+ 01:10:00				PC
Heinki	Deus ex Human Revolution	Just like it's predecessor Deus Ex: Human Revolution has come to be an extremely broken speedrun. Due to specific loopholes in the physics engine and broken collisions all the long and boring parts of the run are skipped either through wall clipping or mine boosting through most of the levels with a few new smaller glitches mixed in-between. Not to mention that since it's showcase during the last SGDQ the community has found better setups for the majority of tricks making it a safer run overall.	Status: Pending any% 01:00:00				PC
Heinki	Deus ex	A beloved and highly influential cyberpunk-themed RPG from the year 2000. Thanks to the imperfections of the original unreal engine Deus Ex speedrun is chuck full of all kinds of glitches and exploits starting from mine boosts and duping to complete sequence breaks, super jumps and dead man walking. With the run itself being roughly 40 minutes there is no downtime in this game as every second is full of action and precise tricks therefore providing a good entertainment for the audience.	Status: Pending any% 01:00:00				PC
Racingmonster	Modern Warfare 2	This is a Console World Record run for Call of Duty MW2. I am submitting this run for the event to bring call of duty into the mix of Games Done Quick. I have spend years on the game, learning as much as I can and in result I also have a couple of other world records on the Game.	Status: Pending Any% 2:00:00				PS3
SuperBlitzCraig	Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut	In this run there are a lot of tiny optimisations that have been refined over the past 2 years. The game rewards skilful players with a good time but hurts newcomers. Lots of neat tricks and movement help keep the time in this run as low as it is.	Status: Pending Sonic's Story 00:35:00				PC
ExtraTricky	Snakebird	An absolutely amazing puzzle game based around the concept of "snake with gravity" that makes for a short and sweet speedrun that is purely execution based. The game teaches the mechanics through its level design, so no prior knowledge of the game is needed to understand what is happening, and I can provide some of the finer details through commentary.	Status: Pending Any% 00:10:00				PC
ExtraTricky	Pokemon Red	The premier category for one of the original Pokemon games, and particularly relevant now with the games being released on Virtual Console.

TheMotherBrain86	The Transformers: Mystery of Convoy	This game is a very interesting Platformers with very very tiny hitboxes and very tiny bullets with 1 hit kills. The entertainment value could be high. The run itself contains 10 stages which go by really fast, there is a truck, there are 10 different bosses and a truck. To compare it with a game, a very poverty Mega Man.	Status: Pending nowarps% 00:20:00				Famicom
TheMotherBrain86	Codename Viper	This would be a race between me (TheMotherBrain86) and RetroClive (https://twitch.tv/retroclive), the reason I want this to be a race is because he picked up the game recently and broke my WR in about 4 days. We would like to share how awesome this game is, speaking of that, the game itself is a Rolling Thunder type like game, but with a lot of platforming and shooting action, there are 8 high action packed stages in total where there are certain elements of RNG which could change the race easy!	Status: Pending easy% 00:20:00				NES
boredeathly	Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney	Think of this as an RPG run without a variance in the run time. Cases 1 through 4 are the main story. This will be a very relaxed, laid-back run. I'm quite capable of providing a high level of commentary that will carry the run while explaining what's going on plotwise and how my actions progress the game. Let's show that any style of game can be speedrun and be entertaining at the same time. Potential donation incentives: show off funny conversations and/or give defendants post trial closure.	Status: Pending Cases 1 through 4 NG+ 03:00:00				DS
danray	Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg	The best 3d sonic game, and arguably the greatest breakfast themed 3d platformer of all time. I bounce off signs, trees, eggs, and whatever else works at ridiculous speeds and angles to skip many sections of the game. I also occasionally walk through walls. Some boss fights can be shortened by managing fruit and damage.	Status: Pending any% 01:20:00				wii
ArghMyToast	Pokemon Snap	Pokemon Snap is what you get when you mix Pokemon and photography. The run is about balancing speed with movement tricks and precise picture optimization, where we try to take as few pictures as possible while still maintaining a high enough point count to progress through the game and unlock a couple items early. This game has become very optimized within the last year, and would be a great game to include for the 20th anniversary of Pokemon for anyone who has never seen a run before!	Status: Pending Any% 0:25:00				Nintendo 64
danray	Klonoa: Empire of Dreams	GBA puzzle platformer with a cute protagonist who makes cute sounds. While the controls may seem simple there are actually a lot of options between the hover mechanic and the grab mechanic that make many unreachable ledges/cycles reachable. What i really like about this run is that it introduces new mechanics throughout that can be used to a runners advantage, keeping it fresh. This run has actually evolved considerably since i last submitted, with many easier strategies and backups.	Status: Pending any% 00:55:00				Gameboy Player (Gamecube)
Vulajin	Escape Goat 2	The best goat-based puzzle platformer of all time. This run is short, action-packed, and filled with precise movement techniques. I expect that there is a huge market of goat-based puzzle platformer speedrun fans out there who are not currently being served by any speedrun marathon - we can fill that hole and claim those viewers.	Status: Pending any% 00:20:00				PC
danray	The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures	Level based zelda game with a wide variety of glitches and tricks. We have 4 links at our disposal that we utilize to the fullest when fighting enemies and managing items. These 4 player mechanics also break the game considerably. They are used to clip through walls nearly everywhere (using many methods), skip puzzles, and cross impossible gaps. 2 hours of almost nonstop craziness and impressive movement.	Status: Pending any% 2:20:00				Wii
Vulajin	Ori and the Blind Forest	You've seen this game a couple times, but it'll be getting a popularity resurgence this March with the release of the Definitive Edition update. "All skills no OOB" has changed a bit since last SGDQ, and RedR3dRum is interested in racing it. "No cells/no abilities" is a category in which I complete the game with minimum health and energy and no abilities, producing a challenging run with strategies that aren't seen in other categories of Ori. Devs and runners will be available for commentary.	Status: Pending no cells, no abilities 00:50:00	Status: Pending all skills no OOB 00:42:00			PC
CardsOfTheHeart	Rhino Rumble	A talking purple high-jumping rhino eats too many hot peppers and embarks on a quest to platform to 18 different waterfalls to drink from in order to stop breathing fire. I wish I had that much creativity. The music is catchy. The amount of jump control you have is amazing, allowing for a lot of precision and variety in strats. Also features a ceiling clip and death abuse. I have the current record of 13:08 with room to improve.	Status: Pending any% 00:20:00				Game Boy Color
Studio	NOT A HERO	NOT A HERO is a 2d action game that focuses on accomplishing basic political tasks through violence, British accents, and explosions. It’s a very quick game that becomes visually impressive and constantly shows off high-danger situations - eventually enemies can instantly kill and the screen will constantly flood. My estimate is close to my PB because of recording issues with OBS - I lose time due to FPS drops. This isn’t an issue when not recording, and wouldn’t be an issue with PC Setup.	Status: Pending Any% 00:27:00				PC
danray	Yoshi's Universal Gravitation (Topsy-Turvy)	Once again offering to make a fool out of myself by tilting a gamecube for charity. In comparison to tilt n tumble from last year, this game requires much more coordination between my upper and lower body to go fast. The basic form of fast movement is to tilt the gamecube back and forth as i jump. Fake bowsers fields is more of a race category that shows off most of the games cool mechanics in half the time. It basically just runs through the first 4 worlds and first bowser stage.	Status: Pending Fake Bowser's Fields 00:25:00	Status: Pending any% 00:55:00			Gameboy Player (Gamecube)
Vulajin	Bastion	My favorite speedrun game. All categories are always good marathon watches. Any% categories use a major glitch to skip 2/3 of the game, while "all story levels" shows off more of the game's beautiful visuals and music. Unlike in other games, NG+ doesn't trivialize the game, but instead offers an alternative movement option in the "pike vault" technique, adding skill to the run. This game also doesn't have a lot of landmines that could ruin a potential race, so I'd be up for that if applicable.

AtomicOtaku	Super Monkey Ball 2	This category involves beating every level in the Story Mode of SMB2. This means we do not use the oft used Story Mode Glitch, which allows a player to completely skip stages of the Story Mode. 10 Worlds, 10 Levels Each. The run itself is very entertaining, containing fast paced movement and stunts that are interesting to watch for both runners and casual gamers alike. (There is a possibility that this could be a race between myself and SteveMassey if he submits as well.)	Status: Pending Story Mode All Levels 00:50:00				Gamecube
TheSludgyGamer	Super Mario Galaxy	Beat the game as fast as possible, collecting 60 stars then fighting Bowser. You have to use Mario (Luigi is not allowed). Super Mario Galaxy is interesting in the fact that it uses very few glitches, but instead has many small skips that eventually add up to a huge time difference compared to playing casually. This was run during AGDQ 2016, and AGDQ 2012 but has never been ran as Mario at a GDQ. The runner's online name is TheSludgyGamer.	Status: Pending any% Mario 02:46:00				Wii
AtomicOtaku	I Wanna Be The Guy	The original IWBTG spawned many popular 'fangames' such as I Wanna Be The Boshy which have seen a lot of attention over the last few years. The original game deserves to be given some recognition every now and again, as well. The Glitchless Any% run involves beating the game without wrong warps and major glitches. It showcases precise movement, tricks, and platforming, as well as fun and familiar bosses and areas based on classic video games such as Mario, Castlevania, and many more.	Status: Pending Glitchless Any% 00:50:00				PC
PerilousPeanut	Rayman Origins	130 Electoons/No Co-op is basically Any%, except not terrible. The fast-paced movement from Legends is here, along with the added challenge of precise Lum routing for every stage. All the unnecessary autoscroller levels are skipped, and you get to see a lot more of the game compared to Any%. This game hasn't seen a proper run since SGDQ 2013, which was outdated and slow. The new routes and strats really progressed the run quite a lot from it's last showing, and it deserves another shot.	Status: Pending 130 Electoons (Any% No Co-op) 02:20:00				PC
PerilousPeanut	Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time	ACiT is a really interesting and entertaining R&C run. NG+ has really quick combat thanks to the RYNO, all the boring Clank levels are skipped with menuing tricks, and almost every single planet has an impressive looking jump, big skip, OoB or clever exploit using the level scenery to save time. There is also some cutscene downtime perfect for donation readings as well. I can also run Any%, which is a bit longer and has a couple differences such as extra skips and weapon level manipulation.	Status: Pending NG+ 02:00:00				PlayStation 3
PerilousPeanut	Ed, Edd 'n Eddy: The Mis-Edventures	Potential for AwfulGDQ. Very fast movement, precise tricks, critical timing, memorization and a run that is more technical than you’d think. Switching Eds and activating their special abilities fast is key, and there are a lot of ridiculous tricks that save a ton of time, like skipping an entire 5 minute long stage. All Scams is a tiny bit longer but has more 2 more levels to showcase as well as cooler variations on a few skips. Overall, this is the perfect example of awful game = good run.

PerilousPeanut	Dadgame	Dadgame is some retarded Newgrounds flash game from the Stone Age (2009) where you control a normal dad/madman who rampages through the city with battleaxes, nunchucks, guitars and swords. The goal of the run is basically wrecking everyone’s shit as fast as possible. There are a lot of small strats to kill bosses quickly by manipulating AI and making good use of some OP weapons, and the run is really short and stupid to watch.	Status: Pending Any% 0:10:00				PC
PerilousPeanut	Ren & Stimpy: Stimpy's Invention	A game about Ren & Stimpy where you must use their tag-team co-op abilities to platform through ridiculous level. There are quite a lot of precise strats and finnicky movement, and the route is really fast and a bit safer now compared to this game's last showing at the SGDQ 2013 Awful block. Killer giraffes, homicidal firemen, flying logs, horses driving cars, BEAVER POWER™, fart-propelled platforming, butt-slamming wrestlers and Powdered Toast Man!!!

Rubberduckyassassin	Super Smash Bros. Brawl	This run consists of going through many levels that have a mixture between platforming and fighting sections. We use a variety of the characters Brawl has to offer and is a completely different speedrun from all the other smash series speedruns! I have been doing a lot of optimizing of this game recently and would love to showcase this nostalgic and fun speedrun with more people! Also this game is very marathon friendly due to it having so many possibilities for donation incentives!	Status: Pending Subspace Any% 2:35:00				Wii
Rubberduckyassassin	Pokemon Rumble	It's Pokemon's 20th anniversary so what better than to submit some pokemon!

nman36	Sonic Rush	The first Nintendo DS title for everyone's favorite blue hedgehog. Sonic Rush incorporates the "boost meter" mechanic, tasking the player to manage how much of the meter to use and where to apply their boosts, which can be exploited to create some neat shortcuts. This game would also serve as a great bid war opportunity to decide whether Sonic or Blaze should get the spotlight.	Status: Pending Blaze% 00:55:00	Status: Pending Sonic% 00:55:00			Nintendo DS
redballoonman	Rugrats in Paris	this game is pretty bad but has some decent tech to it with damage boosting and a few glitches that speed up the run. suprisingly this meme game has grown quite a community now with multiple runners. submitting for the aweful games block	Status: Pending Any% 00:27:00				Game Boy Color
xD00MIEx	Mario Party 5	The main aspect of this run is all RNG. Its a challenging run wther or not you can get good or bad RNG, I dont try to manipulate it as I can go hand in hand with it. There are many other players who run this currently i dont know who are active. The run will consist of Four shortened maps and then bowsers map, followed by a boss minigame with four phases, Koopa toys, rings of fire, and then bowser stomping platforms, then the real fight starts. five hits with balls of energy to finish.	Status: Pending Story Mode (easy) 1:15:00				Nintendo Gamecube/Nintendo Wii
AlphaDolphin	Sonic Adventure DX : Director's Cut	Tails Story is the side story of the game. But in my opinion, the most interesting one. In comparaison to Sonic, Tails has some abilities that are legitimately surpassing any characters when talking of speed. Flying, rolling and whipping the tail, on an amazingly fast pace 3D speedrun.	Status: Pending Tails Story 00:25:00				PC
HappyStick	osu!	Inspired by the success of the Stepmania Showcase at last years AGDQ, an osu! showcase would a great next step for the rhythm game community. With an 8 million player base, and a strong viewership on Twitch.tv, osu! contains an endless supply of community created ranked songs and modifications. The difficulty level completely depends on the player, and a run can be as long or short as you want it to be. A great donation incentive is allowing the viewers to select specific songs/beatmaps.	Status: Pending osu! Standard 00:20:00				PC
Zyan	Transistor	Basically a fast play through of Transistor, with a few small and major skips, as well as fast fights. Skips fights with well timed jaunts (the dash in the game), and has a few major out of bounds glitches which are cool to see. Game itself isn't too fast or too slow, and it's very hard to lose a lot of time, since safety saves can be taken before every skip. Feel like it's completely marathon safe.	Status: Pending any% 00:50:00				PC
jjplaysgames	Super Mario Sunshine	SMS is commonly ran at Sgdq and Agdq. I am 13 years old. This makes me one of the youngest "great" speed runners for Super Mario Sunshine. My PB is a 1:23:56 and Improving! My average is about a 1:26 and my sum of best is a 1:19. I have been speed running this game for 2 years and this would be my first convention ever! When this game was ran here, it was ran extremely well. I also think that the crowd would enjoy seeing a young kid fly through through this game at this marathon.	Status: Pending Any% 01:30:00				Wii
nman36	Animal Crossing: Wild World	This is a silly run using time travel and a cardboard box to become a rich human among a pack of animals. Donation incentives could include the naming of the town or player avatar.	Status: Pending All Debts 1:00:00				Nintendo DS
ThatsFairZack	Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals	The Ancient Cave is an exciting randomized RPG dungeon where the run is never the same twice giving it a unique experience at any marathon it is played at. It will also be featured at RPGLB this year for its first big presentation for a larger audience. It has been ran in many marathons and charities before and would work great as a follow up to the main game as it has in the past. The RNG while risky but manageable, proves to be the highlight of the fun each event and keeps viewers on the edge.	Status: Pending Ancient Cave Any% 02:00:00				Super Nintendo
FFR Pro 21	Animorphs	So, a secret 5th mission in this game was discovered shortly after AGDQ 2016, which can be accessed by entering in a specific password, thus the creation of 125%. A fun, Pokemon-like RPG game where we play through different missions and obtain different morphs of animals to morph into, hopefully on the way to defeating Visser 3. Lots of different strategies are available for the player to get through the game with minimal game overs.	Status: Pending Any% 00:40:00	Status: Pending 125% 00:55:00			GCN's Game Boy Player
FFR Pro 21	Tetris Attack	The original puzzle league game featuring characters from Yoshi's Island, is a very high-paced game that involves making combos and chains as quickly and efficiently as possible. VS Mode will be played on the highest difficulty, playing against 12 opponents of ever-increasing speed. Stage Clear involves clearing the stack of blocks below the white clear line as fast as possible. Would really prefer a race with anyone else that submits this game.

FFR Pro 21	Panel de Pon	Tetris Attack's Japanese counterpart featuring Pit and her fairy friends, is a very high-paced game that involves making combos and chains as quickly and efficiently as possible. AI is quite different in this game than in Tetris Attack. Tetris Attack AI is chains over combos, while Panel de Pon AI is combos over chains. VS Mode will be played on the highest difficulty, playing against 12 opponents of ever-increasing speed. Would really prefer a race with anyone else that submits this game.	Status: Pending VS Mode (Super Hard) 00:15:00				SNES
Ivan	Sparkster	Fast Rat. Extremely fast action platformer with good movement tech and a great soundtrack. Normal category has less enemies than Hard and upgraded health pick-ups which allows for slightly more reckless gameplay. Also, Rock'Em Sock'Em Robot space battle.

BenevolentLife	Just Cause 3	Just Cause 3 would be a great edition to SGDQ as it is the epitome of THE action game directed by Michael Bay and has seen a great deal of attention in my small stream peaking at 20-40 viewers where many of my viewers often request for me to speedrun the game when I am running another game, so it appears to be a crowd favorite. It is the perfect combination of being fast paced, tech that is fun to watch, slow at some parts for donation reading and has plenty of room for fun commentary. TY4YTime.

Funkmastermp	Diablo (1996)	Diablo(1996) is one of the foundations of the RPG’s we know today. Diablo carries heavy nostalgia, and will likely garner major interest at SGDQ as it did at AGDQ. Fastest of the series and well paced, Diablo has glitches both old and new that even veterans may not know. Diablo offers incentives such as customized character audio, and names! New Speed tech includes new level generation identification and set seed (if requested)	Status: Pending Any% Sorcerer 00:25:00				PC
Konasumi	TrackMania² Canyon	A game series with a reputation for fast cars, cool tracks, and a very strong competitive scene is now arriving at the starting line of AGDQ!

just_defend	Super Mario Bros. 2	This speedrun shows off all the levels in the game, making short work of a lot of Birdos and a few bosses that you don't get to see in the any% run. It features a variety of time saving tricks that include glitches, wrong warps, and simple character choices in certain stages to abuse their useful abilities. One difference you may see in my run is in World 1, where I will be attempting a wrong warp that bypasses the Mouser boss fight at the end of 1-3.	Status: Pending all stages 00:25:00				Nintendo
just_defend	Metroid	The 2 Boss category is a more traditional completion of the game, beating both Ridley and Kraid, then blasting through Planet Zebes with the abundant amount of missiles that their defeats grant me. Metroid is incredibly unforgiving, especially with drop luck. So I'm hoping to take a good portion of the luck out having the increased missile count and focus more on executing well in some very tough areas of the speedrun, like in Ridley's Lair.	Status: Pending 2 Boss 00:30:00				Nintendo
Behemoth87	Super Metroid	The run I'd like to submit would be an any% race between Kottpower, Twocat, myself and a 4th player if need be. This could be arranged in a way like: European players come over to race. So far we've had mostly (only?) very talented US players play the game at the marathons this way. From what I've been informed/notified of is that there is a large incentive this time to get the best EU players to come over to the US and race and it would be a great honor to do so.

Ukebae	WWE SmackDown! vs. RAW 2011	Who doesn't love those zesty wrestling memes? Everyone loves a laugh at John Cena's expense! The professional wrestling fanbase and the video game community have always been silently intertwined - look at the championships and the ring set-up at the popular fighting game tournament, EVO. This run features awkward acting, poor animation, and a stout ghost who won't stay down. The run is fun for wrestling fans and non-fans alike, and its inclusion could broaden horizons for future wrestling runs.

SuperBlitzCraig	Sonic Robo Blast 2	This fan-made Sonic game, made on the Doom Legacy engine, is a remarkably made fan-game. Lots of tiny optimisations are required in the run and the game punishes the player heavily for any mishap.	Status: Pending Sonic v2.1.x Any% 00:30:00				PC
Stupca	Kirby Super Star	Kirby Super Star uses different powers for maximum speed, mainly jet and plasma. Jet uses it's aerial movement to blitz through stages, and also allows for miniboss skips and quick kills. Plasma needs 16 inputs on the d-pad to charge it's most damaging attack, which is gained by mashing as fast as possible to kill bosses. Formerly appearing at SGDQ 2015, with new developments from then to now, I think Super Star would be a great game to add.	Status: Pending any% 00:40:00				SNES
redballoonman	Earthbound	Last year the glitched run was showed during sgdq. so this year i am submitting the more popular category of any% glitchless. This run uses a lot of tech not seen in the glitched run like using stutterstepping to avoid enemies. teleport dodging, and using skip sandwiches to avoid enemies by tiny amounts. Lots of donation intentives can be made for this category such as player name, watching the extra runaway 5 show, and character names.	Status: Pending any% glitchless 4:40:00				super nintendo
superskuj	The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past	Swordless is a new glitched run of ALttP which demonstrates unique glitches, and creative solving of problems which the sword would make trivial. Safety items are also necessary for some glitches, which conveniently makes the run very marathon safe. (I accidentally highlighted a short reset in this pb vid). NMG is the classic AlttP run. My PB isn't quite top level but I'm confident I can be competitive by the time of the event if it gets accepted as a race.

Status: Pending Any% 1:45:00				Playstation 3
Bonesaw577	Resistance 2	This is a game that I found a lot of neat optimizations for, where you take a certain weapon's secondary fire, shoot it into the ground, and the bullet carries you into the sky, allowing you to skip most of the game. There's also some neat out of bounds I found for further sequence breaking!	Status: Pending Any% 2:50:00				Playstation 3
Bonesaw577	Jak and Daxter	A game that hasn't been seen since (I believe) AGDQ 2014, the 100% category now has a bunch of cool new skips that are sure to make quite an impact. The game's fluidity and ability to chain many movement combos together to get to different (sometimes unintended) places faster makes for a pretty decent show.	Status: Pending 100% 2:15:00				Playstation 2
opus	Final Fantasy Adventure	A glitched run of a pretty ambitious Gameboy game. Showcases this action RPG with lower leveling and a few major skips that are easy to do. While each action is risky due to the low leveling, saving frequently before each major action makes it quite an easy run. This would be played on a Super Gameboy 2.	Status: Pending any% 00:42:00				Gameboy
ZOM	Just Cause 2	This long run is full of explosions and clever tricks to eek every drop of chaos out of Panau. I personally routed this run and currently hold the world record, so I can explain the ins and outs of the game while blowing everything up.	Status: Pending any% 02:45:00				PC

Of course the game has been optimized to where it was difficult to get under 8 hours in the game, but now has been able to see under 6 hours with so much better consistency as well as new strategies being seen very recently as the game is still being played pretty heavily today.

There are still new discoveries being found in the game that have made the game so much faster than the last time is was brought to GDQ.

Reminiscent of an old-school Sonic game, Speedy Gonzales partakes on a fast-paced 2D platformer that is filled with a ton of technical jumps and obstacles that make the game skillful and satisfying to watch. The later levels ramp up significantly in difficulty, and require little to no error to progress at full speed. There are also some cool clips, as seen at 1:05 and 19:14 of the submission video.

Since its appearance at AGDQ 2014, I've led the charge to update the strats in this game, including the use of a different character (Knuckles) on three of the five courses. This run showcases masterful controls of an otherwise notoriously hard to control game, with skillful drifting to gain top speeds, and polished routing of collecting sonic coins and chaos emeralds.

Millnium	Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars	In early April 2015, an overhauled route was released by Claude, bringing more consistency and being faster overall. This was the first real change of route in about 4 years. We now make use of an old but previously unused glitch, called ability swap. The previous record stood for almost a year, but has since been surpassed by four people. The swap glitch, alongside with the regular use of the super jump ability and isometric platforming are highlights of what to expect from this beloved game.

Run, jump, and throw apples to save the princess from the clutches of the evil snake-wizard-man all in an impressive 20 minutes or less or your money back guaranteed.

toucansham	Shantae: Risky's Revenge	Any% has changed dramatically since it was last run at a GDQ. Run time has been cut nearly in half. A new glitch called fireball double-jump, when used with a wrong warp, allows for most of the game to be skipped before the first dungeon has even been completed. Any% is based heavily around optimized movement and features minimal downtime. 100% is an exciting run that showcases nearly the entire game (only skipping an autoscroller), which includes a handful of frame-perfect boss quick kills.

There's only one thing to be done. It's time for the second annual Pcull vs Weables Maldita Castilla 100% race! Witness the passion. Witness the excitement.

The fastest way to beat the game relies almost entirely on RNG drops, but the rout in my submission video is only a ~2 minutes slower and negates almost all RNG from the run.

Azaraki	DeadCore	DeadCore is a visually impressive and quick speed game. The Glitchless category doesn't allow for some of the biggest time-saving glitches in the game, including wallclipping or super/megajumping, which allows for the run to feature more of the game's mechanics rather than a series of 2-frame tricks. The NG+ category is more exciting for the whole duration of the run since the dash is unlocked from the start, but the NG Reset category features a few cool tricks and is slightly more consistent.

Cyclone	Monster World IV	Final game in the Wonder Boy series. It's a 2d platformer originally on the Mega Drive. Many of the mechanics involve the use of a pet you get, and there are some minor skips involving infinite jumping. Any% is a fairly straightforward category, whereas the Magic Merchant category makes use of an NPC hidden in the game who very early on gives you the best gear in the game, as well as the ability to set your pets 'level'.

In the speedrun, you must collect trineangles as you progress through each level to unlock later levels. Each character has different abilities and takes a different route through each level to collect all the trineangles, often meeting up to cooperate on puzzles and platforming. The game is run on three separate PCs. The other runners are Progamingwithed and Seak1ng.	Status: Pending classic co-op any% 1:10:00				PC
Seak1ng	Trine 3	Trine 3 is the successor to the previous Trine games, and it looks the part. The game itself is beautiful, it offers full 3D movement unlike the first two and it's just a fantastic game. We run it with three players on separate PC's each with a different character who has unique abilities to obtain collectibles to unlock the next stages, making it interesting to watch each runner's perspective of each level.

This game is first in it's series to allow free camera to players in coop, meaning that players can spread out to complete objectives more quickly. The category is classic mode, meaning that each player has control of only one character throughout the entire run which requires some impressive strats and glitches to complete all of the puzzles. The other runners are Seak1ng and Fearfulferret.	Status: Pending classic co-op any% 01:10:00				PC
Coel625	Tak 2: The Staff of Dreams	This game is a linear platformer with many difficult, button-mashing platforming tricks and clipping glitches that are used to skip large portions of several levels. This nostalgic game has never been at a gdq event before, and the Wii version is fastest because of load times that are slightly faster than the Gamecube version. Cool tricks like the one at 53:18 in the video make up for the unskippable cutscenes in this game.	Status: Pending any% 02:00:00				Wii
Timzy88	Donkey Kong Country Competition Pak	I started my world record pursuit with this game because I enjoy the DK Country games and found this to be a great challenge for me. This game was used in the Powerfest '94 Championship finals and in the Blockbuster World Video Game Championships II in '95 as a qualifier. To submit for this record I had the cartridge custom made, which will give audience a rare glimpse at this game and into high score achievement through speed and strategy. I use multiple speed run techniques in this run.	Status: Pending High Score 00:10:00				SNES
Coel625	SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom	This game is a 3D collectathon that creates an intense run with many glitches, damage boosts and speed techniques throughout its short run time. This nostalgic game has not been in any previous gdq events, but there are always a few runners of this game on twitch. The Xbox 360 version of this game saves several minutes over other versions due to its 2-3 second load times. I recommend looking at the dream level at 24:15 in the video to get an idea of the kinds of tricks in this run.	Status: Pending any% 01:15:00				Xbox 360
AzorokazuTV	Half-Life	Half-Life is an amazing FPS game from 1998 on PC. The run is filled with glitches we run the game on hard for the reason of multiple tricks that can be only done with more damage taken. The last run that was seen at a GDQ event was in 2014. Ever since then, we have found multiple new strats that are faster. It is also very difficult to kill a run, so no major time loses will happened and the run will never die. The people watching will enjoy this with the major tricks that occur in the run.	Status: Pending any% 00:50:00				PC
LiamTriforce	Tak: The Great Juju Challenge	The Tak series was cherished by many from 2003-2005. Since then, it has been forgotten. However, by running a Tak game I will be bringing back memories and evoking nostalgia for many viewers. This run in particular is a fast paced one, with many glitches such as walking/jumping through walls and pause buffering. Tak 3 was developed with the intention of players going fast. This, combined with my lively nature of commentary and decade old knowledge of Tak will result in an entertaining run.	Status: Pending Any% Single Player 01:55:00				Nintendo GameCube

Timzy88	NARC	After competing in the 2015 Nintendo World Championships, I began talking with TMR (The Mexican Runner) and Sinister1 about starting my own Twitch Stream. Shortly after, I began pursuing world records and speedruns. I discovered NARC through my "Retro Conquest" and discovered that there is no speedrun on record for this game. The challenge that comes with speedrunning this game lies in the RNG. It is unpredictable, and that is what makes it unique and entertaining for the audience members.

Shortly after, I began pursuing world records and speedruns in some of my favorite NES and SNES games. Chip 'N Dale Rescue Rangers is a popular game among retro gamers and is in my top 10 favorite games. In my speedrun of this game, I have combined some of my own strategies with EndySWE's strategies to create a unique run of my own.	Status: Pending Any% 00:15:00				NES
psychoripper	MDK	Fast running, explosions everywhere, and on a good day only 2.5 million people will die. MDK is one of the first third person shooters, and utilizes Out of bounds, float glitches, and other tricks like skipping a huge portion of the final boss. On top of that the game is absolutely ridiculous looking, and has an ending thats completely off the wall. Its a fun watch overall	Status: Pending Any% 00:47:00				PC
psychoripper	Star Wars: Dark Forces	This game is a very fast paced FPS game that utilizes highly optimized movement, explosive jumps, puzzle skips, and other cool exploits to make a relatively complicated game really short. Its one of the fastest in the Jedi Knight series and is primarily based on tight execution with minimal luck factors, as one of the only runners to get sub 21, I can easily do this without going over estimate	Status: Pending Any% 00:25:00				PC
tripl3ag3nt	Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)	Sonic '06, a game traditionally known for being a glitchy mess, has, in recent years, evolved into a robust speed game that features many unusual speed tricks that are unlike anything in any other sonic game. No MSG is a category that does not use the credits warp to skip 75% of the game and the two categories I am submitting have never before been shown at a GDQ.

My place on the leaderboard is nr2. Hasn't been shown in a GDQ yet. Three or fourway race could happen. Any% Warpless has been done a couple of times in the previous GDQ's and last time was at AGDQ 2015 by me. I have the nr1 spot on the leaderboard. Submitting this as a race vs Simpoldood.

Puri_Puri	OverBlood	V=[o]K Goofy PS1 Survival Horror game that’s a pretty good watch. Speed tech is mainly in manipulating enemy AI in combat, switching between characters to minimize extra movement, and Pipo. Will be played on the North American version for the incredible cutscenes, as there is no time difference between NA and JP.	Status: Pending Any% 01:25:00				PS2
Puri_Puri	Alundra	Alundra is an Action RPG Platformer, and generally considered one of the most difficult PS1 games. Most of the run is spent dashing through dungeons and using very precise movement to solve a lot of the game’s puzzles in unorthodox ways. The run would be on the Japanese version, as it is ~40 minutes faster than US/PAL and is MUCH more marathon safe. I’ll explain the story as it happens to keep viewers in the loop.	Status: Pending Any% 06:15:00				PS2
TonyOgbot	Chameleon Twist 2	Chameleon Twist 2 is the best N64 speedgame that nobody has heard about. Plentiful death abuse, sequence breaking and reduced boss durability (Thanks, Japan!) make this an interesting watch.	Status: Pending Any% 00:40:00				Nintendo 64
puwexil	Illusion of Gaia	Amazing SNES gem that blends Action RPG combat with 2D Zelda-style dungeon exploration. Cutscenes are short and every dungeon has unique speed tech & sequence breaks, making for a very fast-paced, technical, and entertaining speedrun. The 100% category (only ~10 minutes longer than Any%) collects all 50 Red Jewels to unlock an optional dungeon & boss near the end of the run, which make for a great donation incentive in marathon runs.

YaBoyBTrue	Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix HD	Back in SGDQ 2015 you saw a run of Aqua Crit. It was a very broken run because of EXP Zero, but all you did was spam Spellweaver. Ven Crit is an equally as broken run, but we use more D-Links and exploits of EXP Zero to create a much more interesting but equally amazing run. With the threat of dying at any given moment the run supplies a lot of on edge moments. Seeing boss health drop at such a fast rate on the hardest difficulty is an amazing sight to see.

row	Pokemon Stadium 2	Challenge Cup gives 6 random Pokemon to the trainer to fight 8 battles in a row. Trainers have predetermined types of Pokemon and strategies. Much more entertaining Blind (incentive). I am consistent with identifying Pokemon/attacks audibly, and attacking moves are typically predetermined/easy to find. Run is more likely to complete with Continues earned in early fights. Run estimate for Blind is to give time for resetting if needed (within 3-5 minutes each run start, max 20 min of resets).

Mr_Shasta	007 Agent Under Fire	Classic 007 game on the Gamecube and the 1st on the console too. The run is mostly dependent on good movement, aiming, and timing. It's jam-packed with many cutscene skips, sequence breaks, and small time savers, such as using explosive barrels to get on invisible walls and moving diagonally against walls for more speed. Operative is the easiest difficulty, but that doesn't mean this run is easy	Status: Pending Operative 0:50:00				Nintendo Wii
Mr_Shasta	Star Fox Assault	3rd Person Shooter that's heavily reliant on tight movement and good execution, through use of 3 different means: the Arwing Ship, Landmaster Tank, and control of Fox on foot. Bronze is the fastest category, giving less objectives to complete and having enemies deal less damage to you. Some levels have death warps in them, which increase the difficulty and require great health management throughout to complete.	Status: Pending Bronze Any% 0:50:00				Nintendo Wii
Mr_Shasta	Kirby Super Star Ultra	While not as glitchy as KSS, KSSU offers a wide variety of movement options, power variety, and fast paced execution throughout. There are also 4 new game modes. Of note Meta Knightmare Ultra lets you play as Meta Knight and is extremely execution based with very tight point routing. Revenge of the King is another mode that's similar to Dream Land Extra Mode with more enemies and unique powers. 100% beats all game modes, gets all powers in MWW, all chests in GCO, and hits 2 switches in DynaBlade	Status: Pending 100% 2:20:00				New Nintendo 3DS
Mr_Shasta	Super Mario 64 DS	"Reimagining" of Super Mario 64 where we can play as Yoshi, Luigi, and Wario in addition to Mario. Each character has their own unique skills that are used to acquire Stars very quickly, such as Luigi's backflip which breaks many Stars with its height and distance properties. The game isn't as broken as the original, but still has a high skill ceiling and is hard to control very well, something many players struggled with casually too. 80 Star is the equivalent of 70 Star in SM64.	Status: Pending 80 Star 1:30:00				New Nintendo 3DS
Mr_Shasta	Kirby Nightmare in Dream Land	Very execution heavy 2D platformer and also a remake of Kirby's Adventure. There's a lot of very precise movement and tricks throughout that are both clenching to the player and the viewer. There's lots of power variety in the run, including using Ball a lot, a power many casual players overlooked. Offering as a bid war between Any% and 100%. It can also be a race if Halodude862 submits, as our times are very close and we are both pretty consistent at the game.

Route involves optimized controls of the screen and keyboard commands as well as paths chosen to allow us to reach the center of the galaxy in under 1 hour. Estimate is to provide for worst case RNG (1-2 deaths in creature stage, dead ends in the space stage, a tribe is exterminated before socialization).

glasnonck	Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic	KotOR is a fondly remembered Bioware RPG set in the Star Wars universe. Several glitches are used to break the game in interesting ways throughout the run: cutscene skips, level up glitches, and a door clip are all used to bypass the developers' intent. This run has not been showcased at a GDQ event before, and the route has improved by almost 20 minutes since its showcase in RPGLB 2015.	Status: Pending Any% 1:40:00				PC
Cosmoing	Mario Party 2	Mini-Game Coaster (Normal) goes through the first 6 worlds of the Mini-Game Coaster in Mario Party 2 with the CPUs set to Normal difficulty.

Status: Pending Mini-Game Coaster (Normal) 00:36:00				Nintendo 64
yaranzo	Bad Rats: The Rats' Revenge	Bad Rats is pretty much what you could consider a "meme" nowadays, It is known for being exceptionnally bad. The run is easy% which is in my opinion the most interesting category because there is a limited amount of solutions and my route differs from the intended strats every now and then. The game is really interesting because there isn't two runs that are the same. The run consists of beating puzzles as fast as possible while fighting the game's RNG.	Status: Pending Easy% 1:33:07				PC
Aether	Super Mario 64 DS	Super Mario 64 DS is a remake of the beloved original on the Nintendo 64. This version features different strategies, tricks, and glitches than the original. 50 Star is the middle length category of this game, and it allows you to show off tricks and glitches while being able to show a lot of the game. 80 Star, on the other hand, is Intended Any%, and while it may not have glitches, it shows more of the unique things this version has to offer.

DeadRobots	Remember Me	The Remember Me speedrun would be a good run for time periods with downtime for lots of donation reading, as sadly it has a lot of unskippable cutscenes, it does make up for this however by it's large use of cool and interesting OOB skips that completely destroy some levels. Generally the run swaps between the beat em up style battle optimization and oob game breaking. It's a unique game with an amazing soundtrack and stunning art. If you could skip cutscenes it would be the best speedrun.	Status: Pending Any% NG+ 3:30:00				PC
DeadRobots	Silent Hill 3	The third in the survival horror series, this run relies mainly on movement optimization and boss fight optimization strategies, a cool run with little rng(although some) making it a very consistent game to run at the top level. Silent Hill and Silent Hill 2 both did very well and I think Silent Hill 3 would be recieved just as warmly on the GDQ stage.	Status: Pending Any% 00:55:00				PC
dannyb21892	The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time	I know people often see "glitchless" and stop there, but it shows off very clever tricks that go unseen in other OoT runs. It makes fresh this game that GDQ has seen so much of. From skips that require 20+ frame perfect inputs in a row, to bouncing across chasms midair on damage recoil, this run will make viewers appreciate what it means to speedrun OoT when traditional glitches aren't around to help out. I'm the record holder and I can show it off best! Thank you for truly considering this run!	Status: Pending Glitchless Any% 3:45:00				Wii Virtual Console
Rebecca136	Resident Evil 0 HD Remaster	Resident Evil 0 HD has a new special mode very good in speedruns. Wesker mode is really fun to watch with his OP skills of dash and death stare attack.

johncarls	Disney's The Little Mermaid	This is a classic Disney Capcom game and would fit well in a Disney block. This game has been run by so many people and is lots of fun with great music. The bosses provide a lot of RNG/variance but the game is still marathon safe. Bonus incentive could include my singing "Under the Sea" with guitar or other instrument accompaniment (anything to help charity haha). This game is so fun I played it as a little kid (even if I considered it my sisters "girl" game).	Status: Pending any% 00:09:00				NES

Status: Pending any% 00:30:00				PC
Svenne	The Simpsons: Bart vs. The World	This is a very challenging platformer that takes precise inputs and maneuvers to finish the levels asap. The physics in this game is wellknown for AVGN fans.

I got the wr but will be improving this during the spring!	Status: Pending Any% 00:18:00				Nintendo Entertainment System
Bluebomberimo	Super Bonk	Super Bonk is an old school platformer, the run itself is mostly reliant on the performance of the player with no hard to pull off glitches/RNG, there are a couple spots in the run that are tricky but does not end the run if they are not completed and have really simple back up strategies. I feel this game would be enjoyable for an audience because of it's general quirkiness and goofy visuals plus it's new runner friendly. There are also perfect moments for donations during crab warp sections.	Status: Pending Any% 00:30:00				Super Nintendo

AzorokazuTV	Portal	Portal uses the same engine as Half Life 2 and is a popular puzzle game from 2007 which uses portals to complete puzzles. It was run at SGDQ 2015 and it was a fan / viewer favorite. It is a very short run but has amazing glitches. The reason the category is called Inbounds is because we never go Out Of Bounds, we always stay inside of bounds. The main trick we use is Accelerate Back Hopping, which is we break speed limit by hopping backwards. It is also impossible for this run to get killed.	Status: Pending Inbounds 00:20:00				PC

In Master Quest the Hover Boots take too long to aquire, so we end up skipping them in this run, going as far as doing a captivating spirit hover without them.

The last GDQ run was in 2014 and there may be faster strats then the last time. There aren't any run killers in this but there is a little RNG at one part of the game, we can't lose much time on it so it shouldn't be a problem.

The any% route is a straight shot to the end which culminates in a large sequence break into the final boss, whereas the 100 egg route shows off more of the side areas and minigames in order to open the final boss door legitimately. Potential race with wedc517.	Status: Pending 100 Egg 1:05:00	Status: Pending Any% 00:35:00			Playstation 2
Rebecca136	Resident Evil 3	One of my favorites Resident Evil with a iconic enemy!. This run is any% using only a knife instead of grenade launcher or magnum to complete the game.

Rebecca136	Resident Evil 2	A childhood game of mine and one of the best Resident Evil, played by a Chilean Speedrunner. This is the shortest scenario and the fastest version with gameplay skills (glitchless). Category estimate is real time (my pb is 47:44 RT and 1:02:53 IGT).

PrismaticBlack	Mega Man Battle Network	Two years ago, this game crushed many souls with its unforgiving RNG. In 2016, the tables have turned. We now control 99% of the game’s random aspects by using specific movement and "save and reset". The story requires us to have 60 unique battle chips to finish the game, meaning a lot of fast and entertaining fights have been routed in along the way. Battle Network would bring a fresh look at the Mega Man franchise to GDQ. Incentives: Blindfolded scenarios. Fighting secret final boss, Bass	Status: Pending Any% 1:30:00				Game Boy Advance
Iceless	Mega Man X2	This category and game is such an entertaining run to watch with a ton of technical skill involved and RNG. The bosses work in very interesting ways so it would be fun to explain and commentate on how exactly the game works as a whole. If this can be a race, the salty runback from SGDQ, that would be awesome too!	Status: Pending any% 00:35:00				Super Nintendo

johncarls	Mega Man II/Rockman World II	Mega Man games are a staple of every GDQ, but the original GB games are not often represented. MM2 has some newly discovered game breaking glitches that I think the GDQ crowd would enjoy. The newly discovered glitches are similar to those in MM2 NES where you glitch out of bounds and the game believes you are on other screens. These visually appealing/fun glitches combined with classic MM action makes this a great fit for a Mega Man or GB block. No need for many marathon strats (safe game).	Status: Pending any% 00:25:00				GameBoy
johncarls	Felix the Cat	Felix the Cat is a quality Hudson Soft platformer that combines cute graphics, good music and varied environments. Felix utilizes a litany of vehicles in his journey to save his girlfriend Kitty, from tanks to dolphins to planes. The run includes tight risky jumps, precision upgrade routing and lag reduction. This would be a perfect fit for a GameBoy block as it is consistent, short (half the length of the NES version) and silly/fun. Who doesn't want to watch a magical cat ride a dolphin?!

Techiyo	Donkey Kong Country 3	DKC3 103% has never been shown in a GDQ event before, and it's time to include it, following the success of V0oid's 102% run. The run itself gets really hard towards the end of the game, where the most vicious levels and tricks appears. My PB is at 2:01:44. I'm also submitting 103% co-op with RaikouRider, as it would be a real treat for the audience to see a DKC game done with 2 players, plus the Kong usage in this game is split even, meaning that both players would have plenty of play time.

RbdJellyfish	LittleBigPlanet	Physics-based platformer with a mix between small movement tricks as well as large level skips.

KCMcG	Kirby's Dream Course	Watch Kirby be hit around a golf course as he absorbs abilities from the enemies he hits. Unlike other golf games, Kirby has some ability to adjust his trajectory mid-flight. Almost every shot in this game has a 1-3 frame window in order to play optimally. Lots of adjustment on the fly if the window is missed. Record has been improved by 1:30 in the last year. Could make incentive for "All Golds" run. Only adds a minute but might be more entertaining to hole-in-one most holes.	Status: Pending any% 00:40:00				SNES
iast	Buccaneers	Spanish pirate-themed take on the more well-regarded "Vigilante" arcade game. Features include using flip-jumps to manipulate enemy spawns, abusing your character's attack speed to lock down bosses, and low-budget production values. Possible awful/silly games block material.	Status: Pending any% 00:06:00				Arcade
Kirbymastah	Sonic Advance 2	One of the fastest 2d platformers with Sonic, focused on maintaining boost state by abusing Sonic's air dash. As a result, it's very execution-heavy. Bosses are slayed very quickly, in a game where bosses are notoriously difficult. Music is also awesome.	Status: Pending Sonic 0:30:00				Gameboy Advance
Kirbymastah	Wario Land: Shake It!	2D platformer with amazing music, swag boss strategies, and a few skips. Requires 501,000 coins to beat, so there's much to commentate about in terms of coin routing. The route has changed significantly since flip's run to do world 5 before 4. Many stages also have their own gimmicks (some motion controls) to add variety to the run and commentary. Donation incentive: Launchpad Labyrinth 100%, an intense tilt-control-based stage.

While any% is still a fantastic and engaging run, (especially as a race), the new 100% "All Items" category requires the player to get every health pickup, extra life, power-up, and more, thereby forcing players to visit areas never seen in any% and optimize grabbing multiple items in a very short time.

rezephos	Super Mario World	Low% is a very exciting category in SMW. The viewers get to see tricks that are not usually done anywhere else. This is largely due to the fact that every power up is banned. The runner must find unique solutions to complete many levels, such as shell or spring jumping. Since Dram's last GDQ low% run, many different strats have been found, further optimizing the category. I will certainly try my best to show these off! I am 3rd place on the leaderboards, 13 seconds off Dram55's world record.	Status: Pending Low% (Small Mario Only) 00:20:00				Snes

It comes packed with all the same amazing gameplay: Fast-paced platforming, crazy quick kills, AI manipulation, health and ninpo management, and more.

It is one hour of optimal movement and execution, with three RNG puzzles. I am the record holder for this version and I have fully optimized the route. I am very comfortable on the mic during the game so I will be able to explain almost everything. Also has a few less busy sections that are great for donation messages and talking with the couch.

Quite literally, every level has something in it that none of the other levels have in them. Like a level where the ground is in permanent free fall so all of your jumps are floaty. Or a level where your psychic aura can burn away platforms. You can steal your enemies' powers for a brief moment and can run and jump and stomp and all that fun stuff.

It has tight platforming, completely different levels in each category, and lots of tricks. One trick is called dash-flying, which lets you keep your P-speed momentum while fluttering in the air. This lets us do lots of neat tricks. There are lots of hard levels and clutch moments to be had. Possible race with Greenalink (if he submits), and Warpless could be an incentive.

It still has the glitch called "Tweaking" but there is also Cyndaquil, Raikou, and Trainer Red manipulation which will make the run very quick.

Similar to Pokemon Yellow, we use Nidoking to tear through the game with precision and quick decisions. The run features a more safe, consistent route than Pokemon Yellow.

Both players must put in the work to make the run faster as one mistake from either side could make a fight slower than it should be.

The run is a very optimized one as it is a popular game that has been speed ran for many years. The run requires very high execution when it comes to movement as it is a very short speed run ( 1 Hour Long) and the boss fights need to be perfect (no damage in all boss fights). Run is very interesting with proper commentating, I will be explaining every detail as I run.	Status: Pending Claire A Any% 1:05:00				Gamecube

A massive sequence break was recently discovered allowing the final world to be accessed early, bypassing the need to complete a number of other levels.

The B scenarios in Resident Evil 2 are jam packed with very hard and flashy dodges throughout the entire run and are also always an enormous hit when streamed on twitch. The Gamecube version allows you to skip all the cut-scenes in game, making it the fastest console and eliminating the huge 2-5 minute pauses during the speedrun.

eLmaGus	Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals	Classic JRPG with Zeldaesque elements. The start of the run is heavily RNG manipulated to guarantee a smooth runthrough, new developments make that even safer because you can now recover RNG manipulation even if you lose it at some point. Considering this is a JRPG, movement is pretty fast paced and since there are no random encounters you have to dodge enemies on the dungeon maps w/ some Tools you pickup throughout the run, making for an engaging watch.	Status: Pending any% Glitchless 4:00:00				SNES
eLmaGus	Final Fantasy Tactics	One of the most loved SRPGs out there. The Estimate accounts for some donation incentives that could add some amount of time to the run. The Any% has seen some minor optimizations, especially in Chapter 1, throughout the past 1-2 months, making it a little faster and better for marathon purposes. Drawback: in Any% you do use Calculator and Math Skill for half the run basically, making battle strategies a bit monotonous for the middle part of the run.

Coel625	SpongeBob's Truth or Square	This game is a linear platformer with several physics exploits and a major gamebreaking glitch halfway through the run.

LifeL1ke	Star Wars: The Force Unleashed	This game is an action-platformer with rpg elements, and has never been in a GDQ before. Tricks in the run mostly consist of abusing the game's mechanics to bypass puzzles and combat wherever possible. Running on console also allows me to use a momentum glitch that does not work on PC, which creates some large skips in the late game. There could possibly be a bid war for good or bad ending (video has bad ending, although the good ending would not change my estimate).	Status: Pending any% Console 01:36:00				Playstation 3

This nostalgic game has never been in a gdq event before, and the Xbox 360 version is fastest due to 5 second load times. I never recorded a run of the Xbox 360 version, but it would basically play the same as the given run with less time spent on loading screens. The run would also use quick autosaves to prevent a crashing bug that occurs otherwise.	Status: Pending any% 01:45:00				Xbox 360

RaikouRider	Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble	Similar to v0oid's DKC2 102% run at AGDQ 2016, DKC3 103% is more of the same thing - we play through all stages and collect all major pickups to obtain the True Ending. A zip has been recently implemented into the run, saving 15 seconds in an auto-scroller. All the hardest parts are at the end of the run, making for a race where no one is truly out of it. Techiyo and I could offer a race or co-op run (Adds 5 minutes), as the co-op mode has never been shown at a GDQ. Current PB is 2:04:09.	Status: Pending 103% 02:10:00				Wii VC
WolfBladeEJ89	Dragonball Z: for Kinect	I feel that this is would be an interesting speedrun, considering I have never seen anyone speedrun xbox kinect games besides myself. Dragonball z is very popular and this game is very challenging due to being poorly programmed. So speedruns of this game can be very interesting. I think this would be a fresh new way of speedrunning that people have never seen and would enjoy.	Status: Pending any% (power up card) 01:15:00				xbox 360
Dangerless	Psycho Waluigi	Psycho Waluigi is an amazing platformer fan game created by Thunder Dragon in 2011.

This game takes the old style of Beat-em up games and adds new RPG elements to it. This game has been ran at in previous GDQs, however I feel that my time is much more competitive than those attempts.

I am offering to organize the 120 people who will be participating. More experienced runners could handle tougher stars, while almost anyone could sign up (Toad stars, Princess Peach's slide, etc make this readily available for players of a variety of skill levels).

This is like a "Kaizo" version of SMRPG. Many things are different in this speedrun than normal SMRPG, yet it's similar enough to keep all the fans of the original interested with nostalgia.

Coel625	Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath	The HD version of this game has been at this event before, but it's recently been discovered that the Xbox version is actually faster due to certain tricks that can only be done in the original version. The run done at SGDQ 2013 was a longer category with less tricks involved, and this run does many new glitches and sequence breaks that significantly lower the run time. Some of the new tricks are a little tricky to get, but the quicksave function in this game makes for some very failproof runs.	Status: Pending any% 00:55:00				Xbox (Original)

The category is called "any%" in name only, as, like in Rayman 1, collecting all of the major items is required to beat the game. The run features using items to sequence break and not taking damage to avoid wasting time. The run has little down time, with the exception of a few auto-scrollers, which would be a great time for donation reading.	Status: Pending any% 1:15:00				Wii VC
Fivves	Tony Hawk's Underground	Tony Hawk's Underground is a speedrun filled with frame perfect tricks, precise input execution, and the worst antagonist the series has ever seen. THUG would be a great addition for GDQ since it has not been run at a GDQ prior, it's the most popular speedrun game/category in the Tony Hawk franchise on SRDC, and, in my opinion, it really shows off the pinnacle of the franchise. There could also be a donation incentive on pre made skaters, similarly to this years THUG2 run.	Status: Pending Any% Beginner 00:45:00				PC
ParallaxDG	Silent Hill 3	A highly acclaimed survival-horror game with a highly optimized speedrun.

This game features multiple large, abusable glitches/skips, and has a heavy emphasis on the routing to gain parts, ranking, and nightmare effects that allow you to gain new skills and complete stages faster. Unarmored X forces you to do many precise tricks and setups to get through areas the game really wants you to use either Zero or an armor for.

NG+ plays through the whole game using the unlockable character Maria who has access to a slide that greatly speeds up movement, as well as animal companions and secret attacks that obliterate bosses. These changes make the run very different from Richter, and NG+ also does not have downtime from unskippable cutscenes like any% does. Possible race with crakatak.	Status: Pending NG+ 00:18:00				Wii

The ability to chain mega ball jumps throw in some neat sequence breaks. Since its last showing in 2013 the game features a new boss route and numerous small optimizations through creative weapon usage. Up for some sort of race with plum/others if they want to.

The main mechanic in this run is your firefighting jet pack which allows you to traverse each of the four stages quickly with a high degree of finesse.

orsa	Mega Man X5	One of the more overlooked Mega Man X speedruns, X5 is unique among its contemporaries in that it focuses on tight routing, execution, and proper movement over zips and skips. Since its last showing in 2013, the game's undergone a major route change and numerous minor optimizations involving both movement and boss weapon usage. The game also had a positive reception at JRTA back in November. X5's come a long way since 2013 and has evolved into a fast-paced and engaging speedrun.

soothingplumtea	Mega Man 8	This game is very different from the more familiar NES styled Mega Man games. Movement in this game is extremely fluid thanks to special weapons that are actually useful in platforming. Mega Ball allows you to have an infinite jump, rush bike allows you to keep your speed in the air, and other weapons make a run of this game stand out from the rest.

The run uses Bull and Eagle Wario as often as possible for massive speed gains and movement. NOTE: This run would be forced to use an emulator. No modding hardware exists to buy and there is a very complex and expensive method to mod a Virtual Boy that is too risky to do and could damage the hardware. However, gray-scale does exist in the emulator options if necessary than using red/black.	Status: Pending Any% 00:25:00				Virtual Boy

Along with the Power Ranger Value, it also has pretty good mechanics along with having the female rangers turn into muscular man after morphing. However, a reason why this game would be a good fit is that it is a short game, has nostalgic value with the 90's crowd, most people have never heard of this game and it can be a fun game to watch.

This game hasn't been featured at a GDQ since AGDQ 2012 and the route has been changed considerably since then to the point where almost two minutes has been shaved off the WR. Despite the game having less than stellar camera work and a wonky targeting system the game does require fast reflexes, quick decision making, clean mo and the patience of a god to deal with the final boss.

Henneko_	Futurama	It's a game with terrible controls and a non-descript art style but behind the game's bad exterior, it has a soft nougaty center with cool skips and interesting movement. There's a lot of nuance to the game and it's pretty difficult to boot - the enemies are often able to one shot you which gives the run a sense of danger. The game follows Fry, Bender and Leela and the game has lots of level skips as well as a few OOB which are interesting I promise I won't mess up this time too... honest	Status: Pending Any% 01:20:00				Xbox 360
_VB	Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow	Unlike the Julius run seen last SGDQ, soma mode for Aria features many different zips and glitches. All Bosses has never been shown at a gdq and it is the best showing of soma mode, the black panther soul that lets you move super fast in combination with the ability to zip off of any wall leads to a fast route that has no slow moments. Possibility for a tiered incentive with Any% No 0HP Glitch and all bosses and incentive for glitch demo?

LP3Cinema	Deadpool	This is the best run visually I have submitted. It has glitches, skips and alot of interesting combat. The video I have linked is a Console run so i made the estimate tighter cuz I will be running it on PC. PC also allows a new glitch to be done that saves 15-20 seconds. This game coming off the great movie should be a shoe in in my opinion.	Status: Pending New Game Any% 01:35:00				PC
Kythol	Ty the Tasmanian Tiger	Ty the Tasmanian Tiger is one of the lesser known 3d collectathon platformers from the PS2 era. The run was accepted for SGDQ 2015, but was not performeddue to the runner at the time dropping from the marathon. This game has been accepted quite well the past two years at ESA, with any% in 2014 and 100% in 2015. There is also a possibility of having the developers (Krome Studios) helping commentate and explaining certain aspects of the game during the run if available at the time of the marathon.	Status: Pending Any% 01:05:00				Xbox 360
JRP2234	Metroid Fusion	Metroid Fusion 100% is a heavy execution category like any% or though you get all items this is a difficult category to master. The goal is collect all 100 item expansions as major items don't add up to your %. It features strats and cool tech not seen in any%. Last time this category was ran at gdq was 2013 and since then better optimization has happened and a whole new clean up route has been added dropping the time dramatically.	Status: Pending 100% 1:45:00				GBA (Gameboy Player)
eBloodyCandy	Kirby's Dream Land	OPEN TO RACES! Beat the Game category is everyone's favorite and most well known. With a few new strategies in the past year. We are pushing the game a bit more even with the RNG madness of Kracko. Extra Mode and All Items (100%) would be an amazing donation incentive especially for a race. Extra Mode now adds hard elements and more difficult bosses. All Items shows off the amazing level design and the ability to show off side rooms most people never see, even in casual play!

Dime	Final Doom: The Plutonia Experiment	An official release by ID software in 1996 that includes 2 megawad's (The Plutonia Experiment + TNT Evilution). Plutonia is the toughest iteration of the classic doom series. Scary high tier monsters come into play even in the 1st map of the game and try to block Doomguy's path at every turn. Luckily, we have some more tools to deal with the forces of hell including glides, arch-vile jumps and death exits to weave through hell........ yet again!	Status: Pending UV-Speed 00:40:00				PC
ROMaster2	Command & Conquer: Yuri's Revenge	C&C YR is a Real-Time Strategy for the PC. This is ran on Hard because of a 2:30 time save on Mission 6. While there's no glitches, the Allied campaign has quite a few entertaining exploits and strategies and is much better suited for a marathon than the Soviet campaign. The run wouldn't run over 65 minutes even with significant mistakes as save points can be made and loaded to prevent time loss. My best time can be improved some more, as I'm still working to get an optimal run.	Status: Pending Allied Campaign 01:05:00				PC
ROMaster2	Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2	C&C RA2 is a Real-Time Strategy for the PC. While there's no glitches, the Allied campaign has quite a few entertaining exploits and is much better suited for a marathon than the Soviet campaign. The run wouldn't run over 49 minutes even with significant mistakes as save points can be made and loaded to prevent time loss. My best time has the category optimized to where only 50 seconds can be saved, which is not much for the game.	Status: Pending Allied Campaign 00:49:00				PC
Chris	Axiom Verge	100% item collection for Axiom Verge. Game is similar in style to Super Metroid, but much simpler to run. Game was created over a period of 5 years by a single person, quite an ambitious feat. I enjoy the game very much, and was introduced to speed running through it. I would like to run both to show my skill, but also to show off the game and help support the developer. We have developed safety methods since AGDQ,it is unlikely so many deaths, if any will occur again.	Status: Pending 100% 1:30:00				PC
Dime	Ultimate Doom	An expansion pack to doom from 1995 containing a whole new episode "Thy Flesh Consumed. Doom is the classic speedrun containing non-stop action and also a few unique tricks such as the void glide. It is a unique run in terms of the FPS blocks as it relies on not only hitting the big tricks, but also dealing with an unstoppable horde of hellish opposition.	Status: Pending UV-Speed 00:30:00				PC
LylatRanbewb	Star Fox 64	Star Fox 64 Blue Line is a very exciting run with very impressive looking, yet marathon-safe tricks. The goal of the game is to go through all the "Blue Line", or easy stages. Classified as easy stages, they have some of the most difficult and visually impressive tricks. I routed a large portion of this category and I am a very consistent runner, having gotten a time just 3 seconds off my PB in a marathon today. There is very little RNG in this run, and have never gotten a time over estimate.	Status: Pending Blue Line 00:30:00				Nintendo 64

pok3monrocks	Neopets: The Darkest Faerie	One of the many underrated gems of the PS2 era. This game takes everything you love about a RPG and turns it on its side. Instead of becoming the fabled squire your character envisions, we take a slight detour through the game skipping around later chapters of the game at very early sections. I've spent over a year perfecting the route and tricks and would love to show them. Including the one where I must navigate out of bounds with the screen pitch black, twice.	Status: Pending Any% 1:35:00				Play Station 2
pok3monrocks	Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets	Second game in the PC Harry Potter series. In the past year we have taken the game from a mid 48:30 IGT(In game time) to near sub 47. Currently I hold a time at 47:54 IGT, but plan to chip away at my time before SGDQ. Each dungeon and area is filled with small time savers and tricks to quickly beat the game.	Status: Pending Any% 1:00:00				PC
Azurinel	Eternal Daughter	Eternal Daughter is an exhilarating game featuring constant speed tech, glitch abuse, and nail-biting difficulty. Of course, I make the game look easier than it is. I will make it clear why this game is one of the best speed games. It provides exactly what's needed to beat it quickly, such as the exact number of health upgrades to do difficult strats or perfectly placed OoB options to skip half the game. Donation incentives include music options, easter eggs, category, and input display.	Status: Pending Any% 00:30:00	Status: Pending 100% 00:45:00			PC

Many more battle scenes will soon be available!
