The fun for Summer Games Done Quick 2022 is going longer than anyone could have expected, as the event heads into its sixth day. This year marks GDQ's return to live events, the first time since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic back in 2020. The world's top speedrunners have come together in beautiful Minnesota to sprint through the top games of yesterday, today, and (sometimes even) tomorrow in front of a worldwide audience on Twitch.
Summer Games Done Quick 2022 is back in Bloomington, Minnesota. Many of this year's runners are on-hand for live runs, though a few are checking in virtually from their home spaces. This year's event is raising money for Doctors Without Borders. After five days, the runners have raised over $1,200,000. Shacknews will be watching all week and we'll make sure to bring you the daily schedule each day. Plus, we'll highlight the noteworthy runs worth watching.
Before we get to the schedule, let's look at a highlight from Day 5, as Summer Games Done Quick 2022 passes $1 million raised.
You can watch all of the action in the embed below!

You know what The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is. Pretty much everybody does, right? But what in the world is 5 Dungeonsanity Co-op?
Fortunately, there's an embed above that helps explain. In fact, it's a run that also features today's two runners: Spikevegeta and Nukkular. The idea is that both players join forces and combine to complete five dungeons before reaching Ganon. On top of that, everything is randomized, meaning both players will have to communicate in order to convey what's where. It's a totally different approach to a familiar classic, so check it out.
I know what you're thinking. "Wait, didn't we just see a Celeste run on Thursday?" We certainly did and it was awesome. However, that's not what we're looking at here. Celeste.SMC is actually a Super Mario World ROMhack that puts Mario in the world of Celeste, combining the mechanics of both games.
Learn more about Celeste.SMC before strapping in for tonight's run.
As part of GDQ's return to live events, the Mario speedrunning community has turned out in force. They'll be a major part of Saturday's fun, but first, they're going to take part in a special Super Mario World relay race. Barbarian, juzcook, CarlSagan42, shovda, Shoujo, and ThirdWall always bring the entertainment in their own streams, but together, they equal a run not to be missed.
Summer Games Done Quick 2022 Online continues from now through Saturday, July 2. 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.
