On the ancient C64 GEOS operating system? On weird finds in Mario Kart World? More on Kirby Air Ride? Wait, what was it that starts on the 6th again?”

“That’s right, it’s SGDQ!”

Here’s the schedule. This year they’re benefiting Doctors Without Borders, which is especially relevant right now. I’ve already suggested some interesting runs. Please enjoy, and give if you can afford it!

I try to mention it, and its companion marathon AGDQ in January, some time in advance each year. I’m not always successful, but I managed to get the reminder out this time, with around a week and a half to spare. Here is its schedule.

This year SGDQ benefits Doctors Without Borders. Of course it’s a terrible time for the economy this year so giving hurts a bit more, but wouldn’t it be nice to support an organization that’s trying to do actual good in the world, instead of just observing the manifest awfulness that surrounds us?

I’ll give you just a few selected highlights this time. The first first run is an hour-long all-Emeralds run of Sonic 2. Some others are a kaizo showcase of Mega Man Maker levels, a bonus incentive run of Gamecube Donkey Kong Jungle Beat (which is played using the Bongo Drum controller), Blue Prince, We Love Katamari REROLL, Castlevania Rondo of Blood, a Tetris 99 Battle Royale showcase, An Airport For Aliens Currently Run By Dogs, a Spelunky triathalon, a 100% run of Metroid Zero Mission, a Super Mario Maker 2 relay race, and at the very end Deltarune chapters 1 and 2. Everyone loves Spamton!
