It’s nearly time once again for Awesome Games Done Quick (AGDQ), the zany speedrun-fest for an excellent cause. The hook for this year’s occasion is a run of the Dreamcast traditional Crazy Taxi with a live support band. Funds raised from this year’s display will benefit the not-for-profit Prevent Cancer Foundation. AGDQ 2025 runs from January 5 to 12 in Pittsburgh.

You can have a look at a sneak peek in the video listed below, which revealed the exact same band rocking out to a tape-recorded run of the video game at Summer Games Done Quick (SGDC) 2024. On Saturday, January 11 at 4:48 PM ET, you can capture a completely live variation.
Other highlights on the program consist of a run of the immediate PlayStation timeless Astro Bot on Sunday, January 5 at 6:30 PM ET, a speedrun of Pokémon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire for 3DS on January 11 at 8:18 AM ET and a play-through of the Wii port of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on the exact same day at 4PM ET.
