Game: Mega Man X
Category: any%
Estimate: 35:00
Video: https://www.twitch.tv/colonelfatso/v/41081870

Some really good 100% runners will be congregating at AGDQ and giving a good show there. I can't go join them this time, but I'd love to show the other major category of this awesome game off. Anyone wanting to race this category would be welcome.

Game: Mega Man X2
Category: any%
Estimate: 35:00
Video: https://www.twitch.tv/colonelfatso/v/54883346

Another timeless, fast-paced action platformer. The any% run is a balls-to-the-wall speed experience from start to finish, as we pick up most of the movement-related weapons and items right off the bat and the Shoryuken easter egg makes the refights downright snappy. As above, races welcome.

Game: Mega Man 4
Estimate: 40:00
Video: https://www.twitch.tv/colonelfatso/v/95659809

Everyone's favourite diving simulator. If Chelney submits, I would (obviously) be happy to defer to him.

Game: The Addams Family: Pugsley's Scavenger Hunt (SNES)
Estimate: 20:00
Video: https://www.twitch.tv/colonelfatso/v/80237736

Pugsley is a very fast and intense platformer. The run features a glitch allowing Pugsley to jump repeatedly up walls, skipping large portions of each stage. Working this game hard is my next project after I'm done with MM4, so expect a much better run than you see in the submission.

Game: Front Mission: Gun Hazard
Category: any%
Estimate: 3:00:00
Video: https://www.twitch.tv/colonelfatso/v/52695779

Japanese-only Mecha-flavoured Action RPG title from some of the same people who did Assault Suits Valken/Cybernator. The run leans heavily on an ammo overwrite glitch which lets you supersede the maximum ammo capacity for the game's most powerful weapons, allowing you to complete the game with almost no grinding or farming at all. Even basic movement is interesting in the run, changing in subtle or significant ways as you upgrade your equipment. I could play a fan translation at a small time cost if people would prefer I skip through English text instead of Japanese.

Availability: God, who knows right now. Evenings PST seem pretty safe.
Game: Zelda 1 Randomizer
Category: Swordless, No Forced Gannon
Estimate 1:20
Misc Info: Race between Myself, Jkoper, and FCoughlin (Maybe become a 2 person race depending on Fred's work)

Projected Availability M-F 9am-3pm EST with Fred w/o Fred anytime
Games!
Game: Mega Man Network Transmission
Category: any%
Estimate: 1:10
Projected Availability: Fridays/Saturdays from 11pm-5am (est)
Video:

Network Transmission is a mash up of classic Mega Man's slide-scrolling platforming and Battle Network's chip system and RPG elements. The action is fast paced, and many battle chips are used in clever and effective ways (especially double jump). #WWWForever!

Availability is based on current job, which may change in December.
Game: Hyper Light Drifter
Category: New Game+ All Bosses
Estimate: 00:40:00
Projected Availability: Monday, Thursday, Friday: 9:30 PM EST - 1AM EST, Saturday & Sunday: 1PM EST - 2 AM EST. Not available Tuesday or Wednesday
Video:


Hyper Light Drifter is an action adventure game inspired by the SNES era. The run features quick movement, flashy combat, and dangerous boss kills. New Game+ gives the player only 2 health and all abilities from the start of the game. All Bosses is the most dangerous category as most of the bosses can kill the player instantly. High risk/high reward make this a fun watch.

Game: Shovel Knight
Category: Custom Knight Any%, Shovel Knight Any%, Shovel Knight Low%
Estimate: 00:42:00, 00:52:00, 00:55:00
Projected Availability: Monday, Thursday, Friday: 9:30 PM EST - 1AM EST, Saturday & Sunday: 1PM EST - 2 AM EST. Not available Tuesday or Wednesday
Video:




Shovel Knight is a platformer inspired by the NES era. Custom Knight combines the best of Plague Knight and Shovel Knight mechanics and gives the player a bunch of overpowered items. Of note is the infinidagger, which flies the character in a straight line at high speed until colliding with a wall or enemy. Any% and Low% are the standard fare. I am happy to do a race of any of these categories.

Game: Runbow
Category: Bowhemoth, Adventure Mode Any%, Satura's Space Adventure Any%
Estimate: 00:22:00, 00:35:00, 00:22:00
Projected Availability: Monday, Thursday, Friday: 9:30 PM EST - 1AM EST, Saturday & Sunday: 1PM EST - 2 AM EST. Not available Tuesday or Wednesday
Video:




Runbow is a 2D platformer with a unique mechanic: the background cycles between various colors which eliminates platforms and other obstacles in the foreground. Bowhemoth is a collection of the games most difficult levels, Adventure mode features more variety in the types of levels seen, and Satura's Space Adventure has its own quirks not seen in the other modes such as anti gravity fields.
SNES rules!
Game: Super Adventure Island 2
Category: Any%
Estimate: 55:00
Misc Info: A really fast-paced Zelda 2-esque game with catchy music. The speedrun abuses damage-boosts and deathwarps for an even speedier experience.
Video: PB/WR in 46:21

Game: Pitfall: the Mayan Adventure (SNES version)
Category: Any% Hard
Estimate: 15:00
Misc Info: An Indiana Jones wannabee goes through forests and Mayan ruins to save his father in less than a quarter hour. Very intense speedrun with two boss skips, lots of damage-boosts and even a wall clip.
Video: PB/WR in 11:05

Game: The Magical Quest Starring Mickey Mouse
Category: Easy / Hard
Estimate: 18:00 / 22:00
Misc Info: The first Magical Quest game. Speed conservation is possible everywhere, as well as RNG manipulation on most bosses, making the run very satisfying. Hard is globally much more challenging, except in world 6 where Easy is surprisingly harder in terms of RNG routing. A very complete speedgame with lots of movement precision and intricacies.
Video: Easy category PB/WR in 15:12

Game: The Great Circus Mystery Starring Mickey and Minnie
Category: Easy / Hard
Estimate: 22:00 / 27:00
Misc Info: The second game of the Magical Quest series. Speed conservation and cow-bow dashes make me go fast. Easy category is preferred because of faster bosses (and an RNG manipulated route is possible).
Video: Easy category PB/WR in 19:21

Game: Soul Blazer + Illusion of Gaia
Category: 2 games 1 controller
Estimate: 3:20:00
Misc Info: I've already performed this at Scrubathon 4. I've completed this challenge in less than 3 hours, but I prefer to have some buffer time in case things go wrong, which might happen due to the difficulty. Careful planning and good knowledge of the two games make this possible.
Video: PB in 2:55:42


Projected Availability (for all games): Between noon EST and 5pm EST on week days, anytime on week-ends.

SpootyBiscuit: 2016-10-11 10:00:21 pm
Game: Descent
Category: Hotshot Any%
Estimate: 50:00
Info: 6-degrees-of-freedom shooter, meaning there're pretty liberal definitions of up/down, left/right, etc. Lots of tricky movement tech, death abuse, and dangerous combat.
Video:


Game: Descent II
Category: Hotshot Any%
Estimate: 50:00
Info: Sequel to the above. Features new weapons, accessories, and beefed up enemy AI. Was accepted in AGDQ 2017, so if you're only picking one of these three I'd prefer this one for the marathon practice.
Video:


Game: Descent Maximum
Category: Hotshot Any%
Estimate: 40:00
Info: PSX port of Descent II (though I will be playing the levels on PC through a source port instead). While the game is otherwise identical to Descent II, the levels were drastically simplified to better accommodate PSX controls, making this the shortest (though still challenging) run in the series by a fair margin.
Video:


Game: Crypt of the NecroDancer
Category(s):

Cadence All Zones
Estimate: 20:00

Story Mode
Estimate: 45:00

Coda All Zones
Estimate: 30:00

Info: Rhythm-based rogue-lite dungeon crawler. Cadence is the default character, Story Mode includes her as well as Melody and Aria, and Coda is an allegedly "impossible" challenge character who only a small handful of players have ever cleared. Cadence, Story, and some other characters not currently listed here are possible races - will update this post further if/when I find available players for racing and figure out what they're willing to race.

EDIT: Availability on all of these should pretty much be whenever. I'm in US Central time and would prefer not to run anywhere 1-8 AM, but can make those work if necessary.

Game: Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim (PC)
Category: Any% Nightmare
Estimate: 2:00:00
Misc Info: Never run in a marathon before, should be able to commentate myself but I tend to get nervous and freeze up; could maybe get MattyIce to co-commentate (would have to ask him). I have the WR for this at 1:56:29, but given the nature of Nightmare difficulty you can bleed time pretty easily. A more conservative estimate would be 2:05:00. Would be cool if we could get chat involved with counting the number of deaths throughout the run…
Projected Availability: I should be available every day in the EST evening and in the afternoon+evening on Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday/Sunday.

Game: Frogger's Adventures 2: The Lost Wand
Category: Any%
Estimate: 0:50:00
Misc Info: I routed this game, found a bunch of skips and cool strats for it, and I'm the only runner of it. IMO it's actually a pretty neat run even for someone who's never played the game before. Estimate is generous because the final boss is one of the stupidest and most luck heavy fights I've seen in any video game (and also the game is very execution heavy, difficult, and unforgiving but it's fine because I'm consistent)
Projected Availability: Don't have a job atm so I'm available any time. Would prefer not being in the early mornings though (I live in PST)

Game: 007 Agent Under Fire
Category: Operative

Game: Pinobee: Wings of Adventure
Category: Any%
Estimate: 0:25:00
Misc. Info: Submitted for AwfulGDQ this year and rejected. Also routed this game completely and optimized it really well actually. Just a silly GBA game more than anything but the run is also majorly execution so it should be pretty cool still.
