Super metroid isn't my cup of tea but it is surprising they include such a marathon unsafe game every year just because of that one donation bid war (Which i'm fairly certain doesn't bring in nearly as much money as people think it does)


Save or Kill the animals Super Metroid The classic. $303,349.47

From their bid index; so it almost brought in 1/3'rd of all the money. I think that's quite alot.


A lot of that comes down to runner's choice / The Yette etc and a lot of people argue that the money would be donated anyway but to other donation incentives. Save / Kill is just the general "I don't know where to put the money" dump. It probably brings in some money but it certainly doesn't bring in 300k



The Yetee and runners choice can choose any bid they want, and a lot of them don't choose that specifically. Yetee donated to multiple target bids, including getting us the Oblivion any% as the regular run was ending.

All of the target bids have been met and people are putting their donations to a bid war they enjoy.

WELL, I called it... one death via Phantoon... although not like how the guy in AGDQ 2015 died

edit: I have to say this route is so different from the years past. Phantoon with no Speed Booster before Kraid... interesting

Will there be no resurrection of the bottom right? No point, or is it in the rules?

No point when he'd be about 12 minutes behind.

Plus that much time would probably mean schedule overrun.

I don't know man, I mean, it's speedrunning marathon for a good cause, I don't think it should be absolutely the most important thing to get the fastest time ever.
Firstly, they're put "before" 100+k people, some are very nervous
Secondly, people might donate more the more entertaining the run is people are watching. If you have an obnoxious as hell person needing serious time the entire run because he'll try to get his WR, I might enjoy it less.
Trihex and PJ runs are my favourites simply because they make it seem so relaxed, they're not anxious about anything and they joke around alot.

Oh no i have no issue with the donation incentive I actually enjoy it. I am just sad that super metroid will always be in a GDQ because the donation incentive is a popular GDQ meme

Super Metroid's always going to be in GDQ because it's the most optimized, entirely skill based speedruns around.

Sure, there's a place for newer or less known games that have small communities, but those games also have records that are being cut down by dozens of minutes or even hours by the next event, and you definitely need the runs that are broken down to sciences.

The same can be said for super mario world / Super mario Bros / Link to the past / Fzero etc etc the list goes on. There is a huge amount of games that are actually down to a science and none of them are nearly as risky / painful to run as metroid because for the past 2 GDQs we've had to watch someone be unable to finish a run which honestly just makes it depressing to watch.

I'm usually all for saving animals, but if Zoast has a good record going for this SGDQ I say screw it and kill them

It sounds like he was no longer on world record pace, but I agree that if he were, fuck those animals, obtain records.

He missed a skip which put him off record pace so it wasn't a big deal.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death
