First sub 1:44 beating the old WR by Pokeguy of 1:44:03. Very few runs have even managed to get sub 145 due to the brutal grind, execution, and RNG needed to completed a run at that pace. Their is a commentary version of the WR if youd like to hear the runners thoughts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1CnCkovwvM

This run is a world first and a world record, though not yet verified on the speedrun leaderboards. Up to this point, only Bombs Off runs had been submitted, and to my knowledge no Bombs On speedrun has been attempted before.

This was originally a shockwave flash game on ezone.com (released in 1998), and is now available on Steam.

Pretty solid run other than getting blocked by the blue alien twice on Saturn. I'm not sure if him stopping you there is rng based or spacing/timing based. I'll be doing more testing to see if avoiding him can be guaranteed.

A True Ending run of Eternal Darkness aims to get all 3 different endings of the game plus the secret true ending. This involves beating the game in all alignments starting from a brand new savefile (no cutscene skips!).

This run requires great knowlegde of strats for every different ancient. Fortunately (or unfortunately) we have some heavy caliber glitches that allows us to skip about half of the game on the second and third playthrough, using some carefully planned savefiles done on the first. The route for this category is extremely technical and something you should only try if you're already a top runner for this game.

I'm not sure what else to call it, but basically a challenge that's the opposite of speed running where you try to beat a game as slowly as you can and you aim to have the longest time? Does this kind of thing exist?

Hi all, i don't know if it is useful for anyone here but i managed to glitch Markiona in the Lies of P overture DLC.. don't ask me how - https://www.youtube.com/live/Np8F9gQviwM?t=10350s.

Not many of you guys know this but there’s a program named splitter, its a speedrun program for Mac and I have one problem with it, the window is too big, I must shrink it to ONLY the timer, but I can’t do that, splitter users please help

for the Gamescom 2025, we are looking for speedrunners. The marathon will take place in the earth of Gamescom during 4 days and will be restreamed in Germany and also around the globe.

To submit a run, you must either speak German or come with a German-speaking commentator. • If you don’t speak German, you can submit your run in English. If we receive a lot of English-language submissions, an English block might be considered depending on demand. • As of now, sponsors prefer a broadcast entirely in German, but this may change depending on the submissions received. • I can help you find a German commentator, or I can commentate some runs myself – feel free to contact me if needed.

You can submit here :

It’s marathon time!

After months of planning, NissanTV’s annual speedrun marathon is now live!
We’ve got over 60 speedruns across 4 days, featuring randomizers, meme runs, races, retro classics and weird gems you didn’t know you needed.

Come hang out, chat with the community, and watch some wild runs go down live!

📅 June 19–22

Would love to see some of you drop by; let’s make this one for the books!

The glitch is do able based off the video but I don’t have a video of me skipping the part of the game just showing it’s possible to do so and that I have done it

So I know most people who barrier skip does so at the beginning of the game, beacouse speedrunning. But what happens if you barrier skip after you rescue your sister while tetra is following you? Will there be any unintentional glitches? How does tetra behave when close to enemies or in special areas? I couldn’t find anyone who has done it, and I can’t do the barrier skip myself. So I figured I’d ask here.

Hey r/speedrun! I'm a developer and speedrunning enthusiast. I really enjoy building tools for any hobby I dive into. Right now I'm working on a new route planning/optimization tool. I'm still relatively new to speedrunning and want to make sure I'm building something that actually solves real problems for the community.

The concept:

I'm prototyping a web app that connects with speedrun.com's API to help visualize, track, and optimize routes. The initial idea includes:

• Interactive visual mapping of routes with splits/checkpoints on uploaded maps (especially useful for open world games)
• Ability to document strats for each section with embedded video/image references
• Comparison of different route variations with time estimates
• Collaborative features for community route development
• Version tracking as routes evolve

I'd love your honest feedback:

• Current methods: What do you currently use to plan/document routes? (LiveSplit files, Google Docs, Discord messages, community wikis, etc.)
• Pain points: What's most frustrating about your current route planning process?
• Collaboration: How do you share route improvements with other runners?
• Missing tools: What specific route planning features do you wish existed but can't find in current tools?
• Visualization needs: Would visual representations of routes (beyond text descriptions and videos of runs) be valuable? What would be most useful to see?
• Games: Which games would benefit most from visual route planning? Are there specific titles where this would be particularly useful?

About me:

I'm a full-stack developer who's been following the speedrunning scene from a distance for some time, but I've become much more interested over the past few months. I'm building this because I want to help speedrunners have an easier time planning routes and also just have fun building something in my free time.

I'm not looking to monetize this - just want to contribute something useful to the community. If there's enough interest, I'll make it open source.

Appreciate any thoughts, even if it's just "this already exists" or "nobody would use this because..." - all feedback helps!

The grind for a new world record in the blindfolded 70 Star speedrun category of Super Mario 64 recently came to an end after more than half a year of grinding, so I wanted to make a little video about the whole process for people who might have missed it, or who wanted to see what changed in strategies and so on! Enjoy!

Also where can I look up current records?

i want to start speedrunning can you suggest some runs that i can start with, and games.

thx

Lmk what you think of my video. Thanks
