8:51AM - Kena: Bridge of Spirits

The perils of being a spirit guide are great, as players found out with last year's Kena: Bridge of Spirits. Now it's time to put it through the GDQ ringer, as InsertLogic looks to complete its most devious platforming sequences and put it to bed in just around 35 minutes.

1:11PM - Psychonauts 2

After over a decade, Double Fine finally delivered Psychonauts 2 in 2021. It finished high in a lot of Game of the Year lists and, in fact, earned the Chatty community's top GOTY honors. Now it's time to watch it at a GDQ event for the first time, as ItzBytez looks to complete its challenging platforming sequences while juggling Raz's various abilities.

5:27PM - Super Mario Galaxy

The Year of Luigi has been over for several years now, but Luigi will take center stage for this four-way Super Mario Galaxy race. Luigi controls slightly differently than his older brother, which changes up the speedrunning tactics slightly. Watch this four-way race to wrap up your Monday and stay tuned to see if this has as close a finish as the DKC 2 race on Sunday.


Awesome Games Done Quick 2022 Online will take place from now through Saturday, January 15. For more, check out the Games Done Quick website and be sure to come back all week to Shacknews for more on this week's marathon.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?

        Dark Banana Mode is an additional set of 10 difficult stages with an additional failure state for touching dark bananas. If met, the racers will clear this too.
