5 Blindfolded Speedruns You Have To See! – SGN

As if speedruns weren't impressive enough, let's try them blindfolded! The world of speedrunning is quite vast and exciting. Not only because pretty much any game you think of might have a speedrun of it. But also because speedrunners use various methods to beat the game. Some people have been using dance pads, guitars from Guitar Hero, and VR controllers. There's also hand tracking, and even bananas. That's bananas! However, of all the unconventional ways one could speedrun, one stands out. To many, the most impressive will always be speedrunning blindfolded. Of course, none of the runs we list are the fastest way to beat the game.

How to get the Secret Ending in Hollow Knight (Spoiler Free)

If you’ve completed Hollow Knight’s story, whether recently or long ago, it might have left you a bit… hollow. It is not new having “bad endings” in video games for our main characters, and sometimes those are there for the best. However, despite how tragic Hallownest’s story is, some of us just waited for the credits to stop rolling and show us a better resolution to the conflict presented.

A Secret Hidden RNG In Mario Maker 2 (1-1 with a Twist)

By now, everyone knows 1-1 with a Twist. It's the Super Mario Maker 2 level which took a Super Mario Bros. classic, and turned it into a firestorm! So, what is it that truly makes it so painfully difficult? Of course, there is the blatant firebar spam which is difficult to navigate. But we wanted to know if there was more than meets the eye. Welp! We put it to the test, and we found exactly what ramps up the difficulty and left the level with such a low clear rate. Okay, to be totally honest; it wasn't our idea.
