It’s that time of year – Amazing Games Done Quick (AGDQ) dashes on ahead all throughout the week, and you can tune in to see some absolutely mind-melting abilities from the very best speedrunners out there. And one of the best showcases so far was a four-way race in Super Mario Galaxy 2 that culminated in a brand-new world record.
The record was taken by ImJhay, who was also the previous record holder – he beat his last time by a chunky 4.4 seconds for a world record time of 2:54:51.33 in the Any% (With Bank) category (which means all you have to do is beat the game, using the Bank Toad to unlock the final galaxy). Getting a record at AGDQ is always special, and Jhay – who already holds seven world records for both the first Super Mario Galaxy and the sequel – is clearly at the top of his game.
