Hello Everyone! I'm Dakota and only just a couple weeks ago I started to speedrun Super Mario Odyssey! It's been so much fun and it's honestly made me want to find other games to speedrun as well.

What are your favorite games to run and why?

Welcome! If you want to know what games people who frequent the forums like, you can check out the advertisement thread, where we advocate for games we like to speedrun.

Personally, I love running games made with pico8, a fantasy console for making webgames. It intentionally limits the size/scope of the games to encourage creativity from the game developers, allowing for a variety of games of accessible length. My absolute favorite pico8 game is Grippy, an unusual mechanics platformer that I've explained my love for here, but there are plenty of others worth checking out.
