DKC Tropical Freeze is everything GDQ is about: it looks fast, it’s a little broken, and everyone onstage has a great time.
Ocarina of Time is a no-logic randomizer, so all the items are shuffled without concern for whether the game is beatable. Sometimes getting to a boss takes three separate glitches, and then hitting them takes five.
Super Sheffy World is the best of four-ish Kaizo / Mario Maker games this year. Fast-paced and comically difficult. But I’d say Kaizo Mario World 3 was the better run, if only for the final boss.
Vice City’s hard-mode mod is a delightful trainwreck. The game actively does not want to be in a speedrun.
Tetris showcases are always fun. This year they did Grandmaster 3 in Shirase and Grandmaster 2 in Death difficulty.
Elden Ring was a lockout bingo race - two runners trying to check off random goals.

Super Metroid races are the finale for a reason.
