Top 10 Most Popular Games to Speedrun


six hours no way more like six minutes
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
most popular games to speedrun try not
to get yourself killed for this list
we’re looking at games that have been
attempted frequently look incredible
while being speedrun or have been
designed to have rewards for finishing
the experience under a certain time
limit we’re also including exploits for
those who want even more speed number 10
Metal Gear Solid Snake It’s Showtime
Metal Gear Solid is a game that forces
you to take your time making this all
the more challenging with precise timing
and knowledge players can glide through
Shadow Moses making the intense sweat
inducing gameplay look incredibly easy
the end game rankings can also attribute
the speed in which the player finishes
the game with the rank of big boss being
the most prestigious a feat that
requires the player to be spotted no
more than four times along with a number
of other ludicrous restrictions okay
let’s go I know this place better than
you this is all made a bit easier by the
famous vent glitch which allows players
to skip over half of the game’s story
making this one for the speed-running
elites
number nine Mirror’s Edge
free-flowing in style and faster and
pace this parkour based game is a
perfect contender for speedrunning
taking control of faith players are
encouraged to test their limits with
high-flying skills against time trials
and even other players online created to
be a first-person free running simulator
Mirror’s Edge is gorgeous in style and
speed making any speedrun a must watch
for fans of parkour number eight quake
first person shooters tend to have a
knack for making really awesome
speedruns short break they don’t get a
whole lot of those in this day in quake
turning down the mouse sensitivity all
the way to zero allows players to whip
their body quicker than anyone can blink
making the treacherous hallways nothing
short of a blast to go through couple
this with a strategy of consistently
jumping to add little boost of speed and
the once horrifying monster is found
within our left eating your dust the
current world record for nightmare mode
is held by a player called the big boy
clocking in at an impressive 12 minutes
and 54 seconds whoa number 7 Sonic the
Hedgehog 2
a game centered around a super fast
hedgehog yeah that’s probably a good
speed running contender
using the game’s own clock to add up the
timings speedrun calm as the
accumulative play times together to
unearth the full play from time which
means no frantically skipping through
the contines needed here
careful knowledge of enemy placement
means players can dart and dodge right
across the maps which makes this one of
the most hotly contended speedrunning
games
who needs blast proccesing now in number
six Dark Souls it’s pretty safe to say
that it’s pretty cathartic to see a
brutally hard game demolished as swiftly
as possible the open world of Dark Souls
is filled with hellacious baddies but
also a series of shortcuts to navigate
your way through as quick as you can
though this has since been patched out a
glitch using the kilns allowed players
to skip entire sections of the game or
bosses shortening some playthroughs to
under an hour whether by exploiting the
game or not you can’t deny the wonderful
feeling of taking down the pride of such
a devastating game in mere minutes
number 5 super metroid much like Dark
Souls this epic Nintendo series has made
its name in vast open crazy bending
worlds with the precise understanding of
the game’s hitboxes players can turn
Samus I ran into Jackie Chan by leaping
and bounding across every single
platform and enemy that comes her way
with the best ending being accessible
after completing the game in less than
three hours it’s tiring to see some
players beat this feast in under one as
it stands the world record for any
percentage is 42 minutes and 57 seconds
while a 100% run comes in at 1 hour 19
minutes and 55 seconds so I guess it’s
time to start practicing
number four Resident Evil probably the
most popular survival horror game likes
to challenge speedy gamers with its own
unruly mechanics just beating the game
in under three hours unlocks a plethora
of goodies to would-be speedrunners such
as a rocket launcher with infinite ammo
well zombies are frightening and
frequent true veterans are encouraged to
duck and dodge past the hungry enemies
to conserve ammo or alternatively brisk
through the entire game itself like with
many great zombie games the real key
here is to run for your life or in this
case run for the world record Jill our
first priority is to get out of here
number 3 Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time
what was once a grand adventurous epic
can now be completely finished quicker
than a short story
Lynx trek through his childhood has been
victim to a number of glitches and
exploits to help speedrunners whiz
through the experience no matter how
ridiculous did you know that through a
string of exploits you can actually play
some parts of the game as the wrong age
since the Japanese version of the game
has the largest number of these exploits
it’s the one that speedrunners naturally
prefer for their attempts number 2
portal hello and again welcome to the
Aperture Science computer-aided
Enrichment Center valve is no stranger
to giving the PC community some
fantastic games in the PC community are
no stranger to speedruns we’re not sure
how you’d ever work this out but
continually jumping backwards increases
Chells momentum across GLaDOS as
mind-bending maps whilst the developers
did their best to make sure nobody
exploits the immensely powerful portal
gun surprise surprise
people managed to figure it out with
some portal placements able to register
the player through the entire story many
records have been set in under 10
minutes whoa
before we unveil our top pick let’s slow
down and look at some honorable mentions
Oh
number one super mario 64 really 120
stars and heaps upon heaps of levels no
way how about we use the most famous
level skip glitch in all of gaming
positioning the portly plumber against
specific walls and exploiting his
backwards jump can literally rocket the
player to the battles with Bowser
without collecting a single star not
only is this exploit widely popular but
so are the ludicrous playthroughs that
seek to complete the game at a hundred
percent with endless categories for
speedrunners to choose from there’s no
denying the king of Nintendo’s
popularity among this illustrious
community everybody let’s take a
delicious cake Mario do you agree with
