AGDQ and its sister event, Summer Games Done Quick, are always a highly entertaining introduction to speedrunning, but January's event also turned into a surprising spectacle, with multiple speedrunners incorporating live performances into their runs.
For his performance, Wes played the game with one Nintendo Switch Joy-Con strapped to his head and another to his foot. That allowed the runner to control his character's movement by tilting his head and push other buttons with his toes or by mashing the controller into the ground.
Throughout the 41-minute run, Wes played his own arrangement of the game's soundtrack on a digital piano. The hybrid speedrun/concert ended with the live AGDQ audience giving a standing ovation.
Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando speedrunner Xem also happens to be a trained opera singer, a skill he put to use during this year's event.
