Watch this amazing Mario Kaizo race at Summer Games Done Quick

According to the Gregorian calendar, it’s summer — and that means it’s time for some summer games. But I am only interested if we can get them done quick. Thankfully, the annual speedrunning charity marathon Summer Games Done Quick is here. SGDQ 2019 has already raised more than $900,000. And that’s thanks in part to awesome events like the Super Mario World Kaizo blind relay race.

The race was spectacular and a must-watch for platforming fans. Instead of using standard Super Mario World levels, a team of modders built a series of “Kaizo” stages. Kaizo is a form of Super Mario World modding that takes the underlying physics of the game but then builds courses of punishing difficulty on top of them.
