Platinatic Hey everyone, since this thread didn't exist yet, i made it.

This thread is meant for things about speedrunning or TAS-speedrunning.
If you have any cool things you want to share, you can do it here.

I'm going to start of with one of my favourite "speedruns" (it is a TAS, so technically it counts)



Question to all: Do you speedrun? What games do you run?

Arctus 64 I've never really done a speedrun, since it seems like a lot of work, but what seems cool about it though, is that it is like trying to beat someone's high score in an arcade game, but with time instead.

yeah, i only speedrun short stuff like levels in mario 3d land (wich is pretty easy get close to the world record), Super Monkey Ball DS,
sometimes i "try" (i only finish one world) kirby: squeak squad.
I also try mario kart (sometimes, but i'm very bad at it).

It is alot of work, but it also depends on the lenght, complexity and the amount of runners that run the game.
(there are people who speedrun a game that is 7 hours, others run that only takes 5 minutes)
and if you run enough, it will just go automaticly.

The most fun part of speedrunning is preforming tricks that most players cannot pull off and improving your hard to beat personal bests.
I just keep like a hobby, something that i do when i'm bored.
