White Day: A Labyrinth Named School (2001)
|
A tale of romance, hauntings, and skips! White Day is a highly compact run, with a new skip or encounter occurring at least every minute in its ~12 minute runtime.
The So-Yeong path has some minor changes, but also adds the titular Labyrinth to the end of the run.

Viewfinder
|
This summer's indie darling; Viewfinder is a mind-bending puzzle platformer built around using polaroid pictures to influence & manipulate the world around you. The run moves at a brisk pace, rather paradoxically maintaining a "cozy" atmosphere while also being quite engaging. It features a healthy mix of OOB/glitches, clever puzzle solves, and mastery of game mechanics. There's also tons of opportunity for various incentives like showing off funny easter eggs or my favorite: pet the cat.

Whiplash
|
This is a 3D platformer by the same team that made the Gex games. We control a weasel chained to a rabbit, the latter of which is used as a helicopter hover and a whip to cause thousands of dollars in property damage. The speedrun makes use of a glitched triple/quadruple jump that lets us jump over most walls and skip huge portions of the game. Combine that with careful sprint management and the inherent comedy of the game's premise and you have a run that's guaranteed to entertain.

The viewfinder 100% run showcases all available levels, filters, and collectibles in the game and only takes 6 extra minutes over the any% route. These additional levels showcase the most complex and unique levels in the game and will be showcased by the former and current world record holders in the category (BobbyBurm runner).

Trepang2
|
Trepang2 is the spiritual successor to the F.E.A.R. franchise with a heavy injection of DOOM.
Jump kicks and kickboosting is the only main 'trick' in this run but it cracks this game wide open. Kickboost allow us to redirect any momentum into any direction we want, so we can build up a ton of horizontal speed and kick the ground sending us flying into the air.
Tons of crazy movement with a heavy dose of out of bound skips to boot. Also features an amazing OST that sets the mood perfectly

The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom
|
Tears of the Kingdom has had a ton of development despite being a new game. The any% run shows off a lot of out of bounds movement for some eye catching skips and some intense boss fights at the end. Pre current patch shows the fastest possible completion because it has access to all the fastest glitches.
Glitchless is really exciting because it requires a boss rush at the end that showcases a lot of combat that gets skipped by out of bounds clips in unrestricted runs.

Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS
|
A fresh look at Mario Maker featuring something missing from the console releases of the game - a fully fledged story mode designed by Nintendo themselves! Featuring a mix of classics and creativity over 18 worlds, it constantly keeps things fresh and interesting. Plus, rumor is there's a late-game Yoshi...it's possible the audience could help decide its fate...
A fan favorite in every event it's featured in to date :) Would love to show it off on the AGDQ stage!

Super Kiwi 64
|
Super Kiwi 64 is a short-but-sweet mini-collectathon inspired by the N64 era. Its main movement is simple and easy to grasp, but it has a few small speed techniques. One of the biggest ones, crouch-jumping, is actually so hidden a technique that even the developer didn't know was in the game! With the next Toree game releasing soon, this is a great way to celebrate acclaimed indie platformer dev SIACTRO!

Silent Hill 2
|
Silent Hill 2 is the greatest horror game ever and follows the classic Survival Horror speedrun style. The game has not been shown since AGDQ 2019 and has massively changed since its last GDQ appearance with the discovery of RNG Manipulation. We can now predict every single puzzle in the game by using a neat trick at the very start making this an incredibly safe run and a fun party trick where we can predict everything in advance. This game also hits a great time since the SH2 Remake is close.

Pseudoregalia
|
Pseudoregalia is an Indie 3D platformer/metroidvania that released earlier this summer and is soon to be seen at GDQx. With incredible movement tech such as ultra sidehops, kneeslides, platform slidecancels, and moonkicks, the game's platforming is incredibly satisfying to watch. Jaxler and Killingpepsi are also submitting and we think a race of either Any% or especially 100% would be great to watch

Pikmin 4

The long-awaited Pikmin 4 finally graced us with its presence a couple months ago now and with it brings another great speedrun from the franchise! With a structure closely resembling Pikmin 2, Rescue Olimar became the Pay Off Debt equivalent for this new game. This is the category that reaches the first of 2 sets of credits in the game and does a great job showcasing all of the new things that Pikmin 4 introduced such as our new dog Oatchi.

Help Crunchyroll-Hime protect New Crunchy City from Y2K, pet a cat, and SAVE ANIME! This is the hardware version of the game (aka a Game Boy Color game that came out in 2023...yes, you read that correctly) and is more challenging due to not having access to the glitches available in the ROM version. A Zelda-like dungeon crawler, this features terrifying boss strats, bomb jumps, and a dungeon skip to create a very tense, spicy speedrun. Did I mention we get to pet the cat?

Ghostwire: Tokyo
|
A first-person action-adventure/horror game by Tango Gameworks. Set in modern-day Tokyo, the majority of the population has vanished and turned into spirits, and as KK/Akito we have to harness our new spirit abilities to bring them back.
Intense gliding and optimized movement, a brand new air-dash mechanic (which we will be using a LOT) and general high-level FPS gameplay will let us get through Tokyo faster than you can say, "hey, that Hasshaku-sama looks kinda like Lady D!"
Oh, also dogs.

DKR is the perfect example to how a simple game can become insanely fast when speed strats are applied. Between glitches and many techniques, there is no shortage of speed and amazing tricks to showcase. Any% skips the majority of the game while randomizer allows us to showcase many tricks that would not be relevant or even possible in regular DKR speedrunning. Randomizer changes loading zones, balloons, vehicles, lap counts, random magic codes, etc

Deathsmiles

Deathsmiles is a Gothic Horror inspired CAVE shmup that mixes up the formula by being neither horizontal or vertical. Presenting the abililty to fire in all directions and spawning enemies all around the player mixes up the formula significantly. With a power up system that encourages no misses above all else, we will be playing the highest scoring difficulty which is level 3 for some classic danmaku action.
This will be primarily a showcase aiming to 1CC while highlighting scoring strategies.

Since this is all bosses category you have to kill all bosses, including those in post game area called "Nest of Evil" with a lot of dangerous enemies who can combo you to death in half a second.
