The Smash Camp Relay
Welcome Smash Campers to the Video Game Relay. This event is the spiritual successor to Speedrun events and the Pokemon bingo. We’ve picked 6 mini-speedruns for your cabin to complete by the end of the week. Scoring will be based on your cabin’s total time tallied across all games, in addition to a point bonus to every camper who has the fastest run of the game they did. Since this is a RELAY, we are mandating that a different camper takes each game. To be specific, you are allowed to participate in ONE run, or you may participate in TWO runs if at least one of the runs is a Co-Op run. Pretty simple I think, but don’t hesitate to ask if anything is unclear! Without further ado, here’s the games you’re running to help you plan. The goal you are completing in each game will be revealed on Day 1.
Super Mario 64 (Nintendo 64, Nintendo Switch Online, Emulator, Any Virtual Console, NOT the DS version)
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2*)
Splatoon 3 (Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2**)
Elden Ring (Any system)
Left 4 Dead 2, Two player Co-Op (Steam)
R.E.P.O, One to Four player Co-Op (Steam)
*The Switch 2 version of Tears of the Kingdom is allowed with a 60 second time penalty to compensate for differences
**Playing Splatoon 3 on a Switch 2 is allowed with a 30 second time penalty to compensate for differences
