A speedrun is a playthrough of a video game completed as quickly as possible, often using specific strategies and techniques. Players aim to finish the game in the shortest time, sometimes exploiting glitches or shortcuts. Speedrunning has become a popular subculture, with communities dedicated to sharing tips and competing for the best times. Speedruns can be categorized into different types, such as Any%, where players complete the game with no restrictions, and 100%, where all objectives must be completed. Events like Games Done Quick showcase speedrunning talent while raising money for charity, further promoting the community's growth and visibility.
