Awesome Games Done Quick 2026

Yes, it’s that time of year again - AGDQ 2026 is from Jan 4th to 10th. Schedule as always is here, for your timezone: Awesome Games Done Quick 2026 Schedule | Games Done Quick

Starting off with an any% Super Mario Sunshine speedrun is interesting, looking forward to the Metroid Prime 3 run, the Lylat Wars score attack and of course the MGS Delta Snake Eater any% European Extreme.

There’s also an incredibly titled run on the schedule I’m dying to know what it’s about but I’ll let you take a look and guess.

What’s everyone looking forward to?

If run titled “dlroW oiraM repuS” is someone speedrunning the WMS mod, that should be fun to watch!

Spoilers?

WMS is a fan mod of Super Mario World where you start at the end of the game and work your way back to the first, and all levels are played right to left, with you starting at the “end” and the exit gates being at the “beginning” of each level.

Awful Block is always my favorite part of GDQ! I volunteered for some off site things again this year to help with set up. I was going to apply for the Spanish restream again this year, but I’ve just been too busy. 70 star relay is going to be wild as well, and I’m looking forward to runs from a few particular friends of mine as well. Plus, seeing F Zero GX Unleashed will be fun, that’s a mod more people should know about.

I wish I could go to a GDQ again, but until my wife can get a visa, I don’t want to travel back to the US solo. I’ve had 2 runs in past GDQs myself though.

Edit: This wasn’t actually in a mainline GDQ event, but I think this is my best speedrun that I’ve ever had on the GDQ channel. It was for Latin American Heritage Month.

Standing by for Bat to the Heavens today. Also definitely gotta tune into the maimai DX showcase on Thursday.

I’ve really dropped off from watching GDQ in the last few years because it just doesn’t fit my schedule, hope they’re playing something good in the spare minutes I have this week

Same. They’re pretty good about getting the VODs up quick in recent years though, so usually I’ll catch the stuff I’m interested in that night/next morning.

this is one of the most impressive runs of any game i’ve ever seen

I love it whenever rhythm games are showcased. I wouldn’t have gotten into Sound Voltex if it weren’t for these events!
