The schedule for Summer Games Done Quick, the annual speedrunning marathon that raises millions of dollars for charity each year, has just been released, and that means we get to see the games that will be featured in the 2021 live stream!
Since this is Nintendo Life, and we are legally required to report only Nintendo games, we will only list those that will be played on Nintendo platforms (also, the list is very long and we don’t have all day), but you can check the full schedule on the SGDQ website.
Pikmin 3 is also featured in this year’s lineup.
In chronological order of when they will be played, plus a rough estimate of how long the speedrun will take:
F-Zero GX – 1:20:00 Mega Man X – 40:00 Kirby Super Star – 1:00:00 007: Nightfire – 1:00:00 The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages – 1:40:00 Pikmin 3 Deluxe – 45:00 Nintendogs – 25:00 Startropics II – 1:08:00 Tiny Toon Adventures – 15:00 Batman: The Video Game – 12:00 Ninja Gaiden – 20:00 Amagon – 30:00 ¡Truco! – 14:00 Resurrección de Ghost ‘N’ Goblins – 30:00 Super Smash Bros.

If you’re thinking, “Ugh, a list? Read? No, thanks »and you just want some recommendations, we have you!
Super Mario Odyssey is always a fantastic watch, just like Pikmin 3 and Super Mario 64 blindfolded, and it’s traditional to watch the Super Metroid run and vote on whether or not to save the animals. Zelda races are always great watches, and this year features an old speedrun classic, Majora’s Mask, as well as Breath of the Wild, Oracle of Ages, and for some reason, Link: The Faces of Evil, one of the terrible CDs. – I play.
The Faces of Evil is known for being the game that Morshu brought us
If you’re interested in the literally inhuman speedrun, this year’s Sonic Heroes race will be held by TASBot, a “tool-assisted” robot that simulates the perfect speedrun, made possible by being a robot capable of real perfection.
We’re also quite intrigued by Golden Sun: The Lost Age’s six-hour fast race, the longest race by far on the schedule (the second longest is a Pokémon Black vs White race that will take around three and a half hours).
Who is it? This is not a Mario! Get out of here!
(Personally, I’m excited about Dragon Age: Inquisition, which will kick off SGDQ speedruns this year, but it’s not on any Nintendo platform, so oh no! Please editors don’t arrest me! I’m sorry , I promise to only write about Nintendo games from now on, don’t send me to video game prison, noooooooooo)
We apologize for the tragic arrest of the author of this article. Tell us which speedrun you will be waiting for in the comments!
