The featured category for this challenge is **All Arenas** - a full-throttle sprint through the demo, where every encounter counts. You'll be starting from a fresh file and clearing every combat arena the game throws at you.

It’s fast, it’s fluid, and it showcases exactly what makes *Metal Eden* tick. Movement & Mayhem.

*Creative routing* is encouraged, anything goes - as long as you don’t skip the action.

In partnership with PLAION and Reikon Games, we’re launching the Metal Eden Demo Speedrun Challenge on April 8th, 2025 - dropping right alongside the demo’s release!

Metal Eden Demo $1000 Speedrun Challenge!

**Are you the very, very best? Do you have what it takes to cruise through any NES game?**

![](/static/blob/7e9g923n.jpg)

It is your NEStiny to prove yourself in this battle of the retro-gamers and show that **YOU** are the strongest **all-around NES Champion**.

# The Format

NEStiny is a gauntlet of 4 very different speedruns, each showcasing a different quality of what NES runs have to offer.

Unlike other races, NEStiny doesn't use a single timer for the whole event. Each game is timed individually, racers' times are compared head-to-head, and points are distributed accordingly. This keeps things balanced across games of wildly different length and difficulty - losing seconds in a short game matters just as much as losing minutes in a long one. The competitor with the most points across all 4 games will be crowned the victor!

Estimated total runtime: ~2 hours.

# Key Dates

- **Games revealed:** 22 May 2026*
- **Submissions close:** 22 May 2026 (at reveal)
- **Race day:** 15 July 2026*

*Exact times for the game reveal and the NEStiny event will be set based on competitors' time zones.

NEStiny: The All-Around NES Championship

Your videos will be reviewed regardless if you have said the time and frames, just for case safety.

fun fact, while also making the Speedrun I kinda crashed my game XD

oh trust me, in another game, the speedruns always use Google drive or something weird



in the leaderboard, click the submit runs button

I went in the steam page and only found the wishlist button. Where can I get the demo and what are the requirements?

# Hello sinners!

New game version means new leaderboards, along with 2 new **main board** categories(**WOED** and **MAYHEM**), 2 new modifier presets for **MODIFIERS**,**** as well as the six(?) new main game entities added to the **DAMAGE** in category extensions.

Note that we might change minor stuff in leaderboards, and that might cause your runs to appear as "orphaned". In that case just resubmit your run and we will verify it as soon as we are able to.

## Happy speedrunning!!!

(mb for posting this rather late nat was supposed to do it but whatever its fine)

Soul Over Body Update

Because scratch runs its projects on 30 fps, all videos will be timed by 30 fps, so please make sure you have the framerate in your timing system set to 30 fps, for example like this:![](/static/blob/3ek7do3z.png)
