Awesome Games Done Quick 2021 Online moves into its third day raising money for the Prevent Cancer Foundation. Shacknews is here with the full schedule for Day 3.

A brand new year is upon us. That means the world's best speedrunners are back for Awesome Games Done Quick 2021. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic means the fun will be kept to the online space in an effort to remain socially distant. However, even online, the mission remains the same. It's seven days of speedrunning action, as runners take on the top games of the past and present for a worldwide audience on Twitch.

Awesome Games Done Quick 2021 Online is raising money for the Prevent Cancer Foundation. This year's runners have already raised over $280,000 in just two days. Shacknews will be watching all week and we'll make sure to check in with the daily schedule each day this week, while also spotlighting noteworty runs worth following.

But first, let's take a look at a highlight from Day 2. This is what happens after a 'Game Over' screen.

9:49AM - The Mega Man Block

The Blue Bomber is a Games Done Quick staple, but his batch of games for AGDQ 2021 look especially interesting. The original Mega Man will be on display, where coolkid is challenged to run it with just the Buster. Meanwhile, Luiz Miguel will look to finish Mega Man X3 with a Low%, meaning no high-end trickery this time around. The Mega Man runs don't get much harder than this, so check them out.

12:50PM - Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2

Looking to check out an absolute Tony Hawk clinic? Then swing by during the afternoon to check out PARTY MAN X complete every goal and get every Gold across the recent Tony Hawk remaster. If you like seeing tricks that will make you feel like a hapless noob, this will be the run to watch.

5:02PM - Cuphead

The Cuphead runs have become more and more refined since this game was originally released. Now it's at the point where Jason2890 will look to beat every boss in a cool 35 minutes. Come marvel at this run and ponder how you could possibly let these bosses still wreck you at every turn.


Awesome Games Done Quick 2021 Online will take place from now through Saturday, January 9. For more, check out the Games Done Quick website and be sure to watch all of the action from Twitch.

      One game not mentioned in your runs to watch - Hades (after Cuphead). Also, the schedule seems to have shifted from what was written in the article. Mega Man looks to be starting at 9:10AM, THPS 1+2 is at 12:11PM, and Cuphead is at 4:23PM (all times PST).

        Superb accomplishment!

        It was an impressive level of coordination and all that, but man was I bored by it compared to other runs. I think I just have some serious lack of interest from playing that game so much.

        It was making me fall asleep on my feet.

          I would have liked it more if they had cut to specific players on the full screen, and rotated between the individual players and the group at set intervals. Looking at three tiny screens with the big bars on the bottom wasn't my preferred viewing. #oldman

        LMAO just checking in on the L4D2 run. This is so ridiculous. Just jumping on geometry in hilarious ways like you'd expect from a Valve game speed run. But also loving all the dumb multiplayer game meta shit they're doing like killing all the bots immediately and voting to change difficulties and whatnot. It's just stupid looking and fun.
