The speedrunning community is an incredibly wholesome and dedicated group of people that come together to showcase their abilities and support charities while doing so thanks to the Awesome Games Done Quick marathon<\/a>, a week-long event that just kicked-off this past 3rd January.<\/p>\n

Breaking world records at AGDQ is not particularly uncommon, however, during the 2021 edition, viewers that tuned it on the 4th witnessed for the first time two consecutive runs breaking their respective world records, courtesy of Sonic speedrunners Flying Fox and Zaxon96.<\/p>\n

During the Sonic block of AGDQ, Flying Fox played the Android version of Sonic 1, as the mobile port lets you play as the titular character’s sidekick, Tails. Moving at a blistering pace, FF finished the game in just 13 minutes and 19 seconds, cutting three seconds off the previous world record.<\/p>\n
