Fire Emblem Engage - Any% Speedrun in 1:05:29 Claris 2023-06-02 | At the time of upload, I'll be running Fire Emblem Engage tomorrow June 3rd for Summer Games Done Quick 2023! You can watch the marathon at gamesdonequick.com and check the schedule at gamesdonequick.com/scheduleThis can still be improved a lot; Chapter 22 in particular I lost a massive amount of time on, this run didn't get most of the important lucky crits, and execution can be improved throughout. Still, it's a major improvement over my previous PB, and it's nice to finally have an uploaded run with almost all of my current strats.This was run on Version 1.3.0. The latest patch, 2.0.0, fixed the "Slingshot Glitch" I use in Chapters 4/5/20/23, and so would be 1-2 minutes slower.
Fire Emblem Engage All Chapters Speedrun in 1:31:43 Claris 2023-03-29 | Fire Emblem Engage speedrun finishing the game while completing all regular Chapters and all 15 Paralogues. This was only my second finished run, so there's lots of room for improvement (I lost over a minute on Roy's paralogue alone...), but I wanted to get a run uploaded that showcases the route I came up with.The paralogue order may seem a bit weird, but it's a combination of the current unit order, current assigned Emblems, the fact that Emblem Paralogues unequip the featured Emblem character, and items I want to get (the Energy Drop in Jean's and the Speedwing in Leif's).This was run on Version 1.3.0, with Normal/Classic/Fixed Growths.- Casual would probably be faster (mainly because I have to do things on Chapters 13 and 16 to protect some of my units due to Classic), but Classic for now is how I prefer to do the run.- Fixed Growths is unlocked for Normal and Hard after beating the game, and makes level ups not random. This makes the run much more consistent.
Fire Emblem Engage - Any% Speedrun in 1:08:06 Claris 2023-03-04 | A few pretty large timelosses on Chapters 17 and 22, and still a lot of execution I need to clean up throughout, but a pretty nice improvement of over 3 minutes from my previous run nonetheless.This is played on Normal/Classic/Fixed Growths.- Casual would probably be faster (mainly because I have to do things on Chapters 13 and 16 to protect some of my units due to Classic), but Classic for now is how I prefer to do the run.- Fixed Growths is unlocked for Normal and Hard after beating the game, and makes level ups not random. This makes the run much more consistent, though Random Growths would save time and will probably be done in the future.Timing starts when selecting "Start [the game]" after character creation, and ends when the screen fully fades to white after defeating the final boss.
Fire Emblem Engage - Any% Speedrun in 1:11:25 Claris 2023-02-26 | Very sloppy run, I've only completed 3 runs period and this was basically my first attempt after a week of additional routing/strat planning/practice. But, it's nice to have a baseline, and this mostly does a good job of showing off all of my current strats.This is played on Normal/Classic/Fixed Growths.- Casual would probably be faster (mainly because I have to do things on Chapter 16 to protect my units near the start due to Classic), but Classic for now is how I prefer to do the run.- Fixed Growths is unlocked for Normal and Hard after beating the game, and makes level ups not random. This makes the run much more consistent, though Random Growths would save time and will probably be done in the future.Timing starts when selecting "Start [the game]" after character creation, and ends when the screen fully fades to white after defeating the final boss.
MTG Arena - Beat Sparky in 25.97 Claris 2022-12-11 | ..................Yeah, I was very very bored. This could be optimized a good amount, but this requires a lot of luck (you need the three combo cards + a land of each color, and be on the play, and Sparky to not have a turn 1 play which usually requires using the Green deck), and I don't really enjoy speedrunning with mouse + keyboard.The deck has:4 Llanowar Elves4 Elvish Mystic4 Strike It Rich4 Channel4 Lightning Serpent14 Mountain14 ForestPlus 12 filler cards because I didn't want to have too many lands in my deck, due to Arena's Bo1 hand smoother (I don't actually have any idea if that really mattered or exactly how much filler you should play if so).Timing starts as soon as I click on "Play" and ends as soon as Sparky's life becomes 0 or less.
Chemical Plant 1 Ideal Ending Claris 2022-10-25 | I looked away from the screen since the level is over, that's fine, right?
Sonic Mania Plus - Sonic + Tails Good Ending Speedrun in 49:00 Claris 2022-08-28 | I'm unhappy with basically almost everything in this run. But, I want to go ahead and upload my current PB, so, here it is. Hopefully I can improve this by a lot.
Sonic Mania Plus - Encore Mode Good Ending Speedrun in 38:43 Claris 2022-06-24 | Encore Mode speedrun completed while collecting all 7 Chaos Emeralds, therefore getting the Good Ending.Bad CP2, FB2, HC1, MS2, MM1, MM2. Lots of time to save everywhere else as well. I may try to push this further, we'll see.This run uses a Level Select code to disable the Super music (06 02 01 04). This code is allowed in runs as it has no effect on gameplay.
Metroid Dread Any% Speedrun in 1:13:36 Claris 2021-11-16 | Lots to improve here, but I wanted to go ahead and upload my current progress.Dread is a fun game.
Metroid Dread - Hard Mode Minimal Items Playthrough Claris 2021-11-03 | Playthrough of Dread on Hard Mode while skipping as many items as I can (as of the time of upload). This includes:- All Missile/Energy Tank/Power Bomb expansions- Varia Suit- Diffusion Beam- Flash Shift- Spin Boost- Ice Missiles- Pulse Radar- Space Jump- Gravity SuitCross Bombs are also skippable, but apparently it 1. requires Flash Shift to skip (so it would not reduce the total amount of items), and 2. can't be done on Hard because it requires intentional damage.This was not done in one continuous run. Deaths and resets were edited out, aside from the two required resets against Corpius to set up a glitch. This playthrough is 25 different segments appended together.
More Totally Normal Dread Things Claris 2021-10-29 | Whee(I did have to hack my position to get here but lol)
Metroid Dread - 0% Hard Playthrough Claris 2021-10-13 | Metroid Dread completed on Hard Mode while finishing with 0% item completion. Like Fusion and Samus Returns, major upgrades do not count towards percent, so 0% only requires skipping all Missile Expansions, Energy Tanks, and Power Bomb Expansions.This was not done in one continuous run. Deaths and resets were edited out; this playthrough is 64 different segments appended together.
Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania - SMB1 Casual Time Attack in 56.58 Claris 2021-10-01 | Record on PC at the time of upload. Given the game's been officially out for a total of 7 hours, suffice to say there's a good amount to improve here lol.
FE Three Houses: Black Eagles Silver Snow Speedrun in 1:18:38 Claris 2021-04-28 | The miracle never happen.Black Eagles Silver Snow speedrun, done on Normal/Classic. Timing starts on choosing to not use online features, and ends on fadeout after completing the final chapter. Done on Version 1.2.0, the latest at the time of uploading. No Expansion Pass DLC features are used.So, right after my previous PB, a new "trick" (i.e. intended gameplay feature) was pointed out, where you can actually Skip ahead to a future date while exploring, instead of having to end exploring and wait for the next week. With this saving a good amount of time on its own (I haven't timed it all myself but probably 30-40 seconds overall), plus a few other minor route changes I could implement, plus overall better luck (Byleth had THIRTY STRENGTH against Kronya?????) let me save 2 minutes over my previous PB.Still a lot of room for improvement, Chapter 7 was absolutely terrible and I had to pulse twice on Chapter 18, but I don't care this absolutely is good enough I thought I had good enough weeks ago please get me away from Silver Snow
FE Three Houses: Black Eagles Silver Snow Speedrun in 1:20:39 Claris 2021-04-09 | Black Eagles Silver Snow speedrun, done on Normal/Classic. Timing starts on choosing to not use online features, and ends on fadeout after completing the final chapter. Done on Version 1.2.0, the latest at the time of uploading. No Expansion Pass DLC features are used.It's nice to be running the game again! This is a major improvement over my old PB, almost 9 minutes, thanks to a totally different route, being better at the game, and faster loads thanks to moving the game to system memory lol.There's still a good amount of room for improvement. Byleth's strength was pretty terrible early on (missing strength for EIGHT levels in a row from 10-17), which cost a lot of time on Chapters 9 and 10 especially. There were also a few Pulses required from bad luck (6 and 16), and some pulses from just doing the wrong thing lol (19 and 21). Sub-1:20 is clearly doable (and probably far better than that as well), but for now I'd rather move on to the other categories in this game.
Pikmin 3 Deluxe - Any% Speedrun in 38:52 Claris 2020-12-27 | So when I got 39:55, I said there was a lot left to improve, but I was happy with it for now... Well, that ended up being a total lie, so here I am with a time over a minute faster lol. First sub-39!!Still various parts to improve (Day 5 especially was really bad), but I think seriously for real I'm taking a break from any% grinding for now.
Pikmin 3 Deluxe - Any% Speedrun in 39:24 Claris 2020-12-20 | 31 second improvement over my previous run. Days 2 and 5 were pretty bad; I definitely want to go for sub-39 next.For this run, I've switched to playing the game in Korean. Korean, along with German and Chinese, save about 4 seconds over English:- On Day 1, when starting Charlie's section, the message "Exploration Day 1 - 08:44 AM Charlie's Crash Site" takes longer to appear than it takes to load the level, and you have to wait for the text to finish. For the three mentioned languages, the text is short enough that they finish before the load.- The same as above, but for Alph's section. I believe these are the only parts of the run where the text length actually matters; everywhere else, you have to wait a fixed amount of time regardless.- Non-English languages have 2 fewer text boxes throughout the run compared to English.
Pikmin 3 Deluxe - Any% Speedrun in 39:55 Claris 2020-12-05 | First sub-40!! The vast majority of the time saved over my PB comes from Day 3, implementing an ancient trick to skip activating the Yellow Onion. Not only do you save a lot of time escaping from the Yellow Onion cave early, but not activating the Onion skips over 30 seconds worth of cutscenes, since they don't combine after the day ends. It does cost minor amounts of time later on in the run, but nowhere near enough to offset the major savings on Day 3.There's still a lot to be optimized and improved, and I'm sure this will be beaten by others very quickly, but I'm happy with this for now. I want to focus on learning All Fruits; that's something I always wanted to do on Wii U but it never ended up happening, so I hope to correct that.(The idea for the thumbnail was shamelessly stolen from kirbymastah lol)
Pikmin 3 Deluxe - Distant Tundra Any% Route Claris 2020-12-01 | The trick to escape the yellow onion area was found the first month of the Wii U version's release, but, I guess no one thought to use it in a run until today. I had no idea it was something you could still do (sorta assumed it would've been patched out at some point given, uh, first month of Wii U yeah).There's also a new outside portion, not needing to throw the yellows to Alph anymore which saves a decent amount of time. This part works fine with 20, it doesn't require only 5.
Pikmin 3 Deluxe - Any% Speedrun in 41:11 Claris 2020-11-29 | 2:02 improvement over my previous uploaded run. I believe this is currently the W o r l d R e c o r d, though I don't expect it to stay that way very long. :PLouie is, has always been, and will forever remain a massive jerk.
Pikmin 3 Deluxe - Formidable Oak Bomb Rock Route Claris 2020-11-27 | What happens when a woman gets way too fed up with the stupid luck-based final boss fight that she's really bad at.You can save a lot of time by doing the fight with fewer bombs, thus only needing one mound. As far as I know though that requires a ton of luck, and my goal was to have a consistent strat. Maybe someone else will figure it out.
Pikmin 3 Deluxe - Any% Speedrun in 43:13 Claris 2020-11-15 | 2:40 improvement over my previous uploaded run, with a lot of improvement left to go. Some day I'll learn how you actually fight Plasm Wraith and not lose a ton of time there.... But that day was not before this run at any rate. .-.
Pikmin 3 Deluxe - Any% Speedrun in 45:53 Claris 2020-11-10 | Nice to come back to running this game after a 7 year absence. :)This is nearly 10 minutes faster than my old Wii U PB... it's amazing how much time you can save when you run a much faster version of the game and have 7 years of people finding new major tricks, lol. Still tons of room for improvement (this is from only my second day of doing attempts) but it's a starting point.
Pikmin 3 Deluxe - Ultra-Spicy 10 Day All Fruit Playthrough Claris 2020-11-05 | Pikmin 3 Deluxe completed in 10 days while obtaining every fruit, on the hardest difficulty (Ultra-Spicy). Each day was recorded separately, then combined into one video.Ultra-Spicy difficulty is new to Deluxe, and has the following changes (that I know of):- You can only have 60 max pikmin on the field at a time.- Fruits provide half as much juice (irrelevant for this playthrough).- Pikmin drown faster.- Deluxe adds extra nectar eggs in various places, but these are not included on Ultra-Spicy difficulty.To celebrate this being "Ultra-Spicy" difficulty, I also decided to... not get any Ultra-Spicy sprays. :P This playthrough is also deathless, as I prefer all my Pikmin challenge playthroughs to be.
Pikmin 3 Deluxe - Demo Speedrun in 6:24 Claris 2020-10-27 | ...I had to.This is pretty bad but it's also kinda a joke run of a demo so whatever, lol. Timing starts on selecting the difficulty and ends on the "This concludes the demo." dialogue appearing.
Sonic Mania Plus - Encore Mode Speedrun in 36:55 Claris 2020-10-20 | Finally, an Encore run that uses all 5 playable characters in Mania: Sonic, Tails, Ray, Knuckles, and Large Ray.This run still has various bad stages, and a good amount of improvement still possible throughout, but I'm happy with it for now.
Sonic Mania Plus - Encore Mode Speedrun in 38:56 Claris 2020-10-02 | Edit: IMPROVED TO 36:55 youtube.com/watch?v=QJ6xI8VPJRAThis run is currently the World Record, therefore it is perfect and has no further room for improvement....Okay, so actually I think this run is pretty bad, and has a ton of room for improvement; most of the timesave came from new major tricks on Hydrocity 1, Metallic Madness 2, and Titanic Monarch 1. This game is a ton of fun to run, so hopefully I improve this quickly, but for now it's nice to have an uploaded run with these new strats.You can all stop complaining about me not uploading any Mania videos now. :P
FE Three Houses - Cindered Shadows Speedrun (0:25:28) Claris 2020-08-19 | Cindered Shadows (the Ashen Wolves DLC side story) speedrun, done on Normal/Casual. Timing starts on choosing to not use online features, and ends on fadeout after completing the final chapter. Done on Version 1.2.0, the latest at the time of uploading.This still has a lot of room for improvement, but it's a good start. AFAIK this is the first time someone's actually done a run of it in the 6 months since release...

Timing starts on choosing to not use online features, and ends on fadeout after completing the final chapter.Various room for improvement and general sloppiness, but it's good enough for now. And yay, I've now completed decent runs for all four routes!
FE Three Houses - Blue Lions Speedrun (1:30:00) Claris 2019-09-21 | Blue Lions Azure Moon speedrun, done on Normal/Classic. Timing starts on choosing to not use online features, and ends on fadeout after completing the final chapter."I want to get sub-1:30", I said...
FE Three Houses - Golden Deer Speedrun (1:34:08) Claris 2019-09-13 | Golden Deer Verdant Wind speedrun, done on Normal/Classic. Timing starts on choosing to not use online features, and ends on fadeout after completing the final chapter.Still a ton to improve here, but it's a good point to leave it for now while I look into the remaining routes.
FE Three Houses - Black Eagles Crimson Flower Speedrun (1:24:44) Claris 2019-09-08 | Well uh, this was a pretty decent improvement...Black Eagles Crimson Flower (Edelgard Route) speedrun, done on Normal/Classic. Timing starts on choosing to not use online features, and ends on fadeout after completing the final chapter.One major mistake in Chapter 15, where I forgot to move Sylvain and had to start the chapter over, but the rest of the run went really well.

Studiopolis 1 Encore Mode boss skip (47.07) Claris 2019-02-23 | Found by Joeybaby. This is very stupid lol.Included an overlay that shows speed/position as well as the keys I'm pressing.
SSBU: World of Light All Bosses, Hard, No Spirits, No Skills Claris 2019-01-04 | All required bosses in World of Light beaten under the following restrictions:- Hard Difficulty- No Spirits equipped- No Adventure Skills obtainedAs you have 0 attack and defense stats and no extra abilities, this makes boss fights much longer and more difficult.00:00 - Giga Bowser04:16 - Galleom08:24 - Rathalos13:11 - Master Hand 120:22 - Galeem29:53 - Crazy Hand 134:02 - Marx37:33 - Ganon42:10 - Dracula49:52 - Dharkon59:16 - Master Hand 21:02:25 - Crazy Hand 21:05:36 - Master Hand 31:09:13 - Crazy Hand 31:15:34 - Final Battle Part 1 (Vertical Climb)1:25:38 - Final Battle Part 2 (Boss Rush)1:49:20 - Final Battle Part 3 (Galeem/Dharkon)Various notes:- These are all from the same playthrough, aside from Giga Bowser, as I did not record the fight the first time so I went back and redid it under identical conditions with the same character. All except Giga Bowser were done on New Game, meaning I was restricted in what fighters I could use.- The three phases of the final fight were done separately, as the game will restart you at the same phase when you die and continue.- There are three versions of each Master/Crazy Hand fight, adding more attacks each time, so every variation is included.- Galeem 2 and Dharkon 2 are not included as they are optional for reaching the true ending (and at the time of uploading I don't have time to attempt them anyway). The special Master Hand fight is not included as it's no different in this challenge and isn't really a boss fight anyway.- Some attacks that can normally be reflected are too strong to reflect under these conditions.- Lucina owns.- I played through the entire Adventure Mode with these restrictions, including all normal spirits. Here's, uh, some examples of what these fights turn into:twitch.tv/claris/clip/ViscousPunchyDootCopyThistwitch.tv/videos/350231718twitch.tv/videos/354250821
