It began last Sunday and has gone non-stop with runners speeding through games like Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Super Monkey Ball, Super Castlevania IV, Super Mario Sunshine, just to name a very, very small few.
If you missed any speedruns, you can find a listing for everything with links to watch them by heading here, but it will be also be heading to the Games Done Quick YouTube channel soon.
A massive hand to all our runners, volunteers, viewers and donors. You all made this possible, and you make us keep striving! #AGDQ2015

Our Take
Big congrats to everyone involved! Watching speedruns is incredibly entertaining, and to make it all for a good cause is great. I can't wait to tune in for 2016.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
