What is speedrunning?

Speedrunning is way of life, a way of playing video games where the only thing that matters is beating the game as fast as possible, and by any means necessary. Any glitches, skips, or tricks that a speedrunner can pull off by manipulating game mechanics are at their disposal—even if it breaks the game! Millions of fans tune into live streams to watch speedrunners each year.
