Speedrun marathon brought in $1.5 million for charity
Awesome Games Done Quick ended this weekend, and what a show it was! The week-long live-streaming gaming marathon raised more than $1.5 million for the Prevent Cancer Foundation.
We covered several breakouts from the event, including: TASbot shenanigans, a wild Super Mario Bros. 3 glitch, I Wanna Be The Boshy, Kaizo Mario World, and some incredible Tetris skills.
I’m still catching up — there’s so much footage to comb through even if you’re only looking at recommended speedruns! — but my favorite so far is Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels.
What were your highlights? Take a look at the full list and let us know.
Some of you already shared runs in an earlier comments section because you’re rad.
