Event Schedule

Description:

Join us as we kick off the marathon with an exciting run of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom in the Glitchless Any% category. Watch our skilled runner navigate through dungeons, solve puzzles, and battle bosses to complete the game as quickly as possible. Don't miss the action and support our cause!

Description:

Four players duke it out in a fast-paced deathmatch in the classic game Half-Life. Watch as they battle it out across various maps with chances from the audience to impact the action. Who will come out on top? Tune in to find out!

Description:

Pull out your phones and join the fun - vote on outcomes and mess with players in real time through the official Twitch integration or the Jackbox website as members of NDC navigate these chaotic party games! Donors can throw a wrench into the action by forcing phone swaps between players, or issuing Simon Says commands that everyone has to follow mid-game.

Description:

A premier original Xbox title returns. MechAssault brings the fight to Planet Helios, where mech combat takes center stage and a conspiracy is slowly unraveled. NDC's own Mech Warrior 22 lives up to his namesake in this exciting event. Donors can strip away weapon upgrades, lock him into lighter loadouts, and force him into the starter mech for entire missions at a time.

Description:

In Part 1 of this ambitious event, IKG leads Samus Aran through discoveries on a mysterious planet with a rich and storied history. Control and restrict the bounty hunter's abilities with donations - lock Samus into the GameCube control scheme, scramble her visor, or limit her to missiles only as the adventure begins.

Description:

Hailing from the early days of the Nintendo Wii, this forgotten survival horror game continues to cast a long shadow over members of NDC -- especially Mech Warrior 22. You won't believe what happens in this title. Donors can make the nightmare worse by restricting Ben to stick-only combat or forcing a first-person perspective that makes every encounter significantly more terrifying.

Description:

Seasoned veterans of Super Mario Sunshine compete in a race to collect every blue coin in the game as quickly as possible! Utilizing the fan mod Super Mario Sunburn, players will trip over each other across Isle Delfino. Donors get to pile on the pressure by banning nozzles, randomizing the lead player's destination, and - if enough money comes in - sending them straight into the Pachinko level.

Description:

RonMike03 brings his mastery of the Mega Man series with a 100% playthrough of Mega Man X8! Using the combined strengths of X, Zero, and Axl, Ron won't let Sigma's plan come to pass. Place restrictions on our heroes with donations - lock Zero's weapons, disable dashing, and push this already demanding run to its limits.

Description:

In Part 2 of this ambitious event, IKG leads Samus Aran through the depths of a planet suffering from corruption by Phazon. The stakes are higher and the restrictions hit harder as donors continue to control the bounty hunter's abilities in the conclusion of this two-part adventure.

Description:

Z-Mikes00 plays through the iconic boomer shooter with one of its most impressive ports: Super Nintendo. Using a Limited Run physical copy, Zach will hold on for dear life as he tears through an episode selected entirely by donor milestones. Donors can raise the difficulty even further by restricting him to pistol-only or - for the truly sadistic - fists only.

Description:

Noble Team's last stand gets reinforcements. Four NDC players drop into the campaign of Halo: Reach in full four-player co-op, fighting through the fall of a planet against overwhelming Covenant forces. Donors control the battlefield by forcing melee-only combat and activating random skulls via wheel spin, each lasting an entire mission. Can Noble Team survive what the audience throws at them?

Description:

Star Fox veteran SQG takes Nintendo's Switch 2 reboot for a ride from Corneria to Venom. Donors get to clip Fox's wings - literally - by locking out charge shots, disabling nova bombs, and stripping the Arwing's defenses. If the event-wide total climbs high enough, SQG picks up the N64 controller for the authentic 1997 experience.

Description:

In this Wii U party game, Bowser controls everything. NDC players take turns wielding the mighty king with the GamePad in ridiculous 4v1 rounds while everyone else fights for survival. Donors can flip controllers upside down, blindfold the Bowser player, and force chaotic boss battles through wheel spins. If you've ever wanted to watch friendships tested in real time, this is the event.

Description:

Saturnalthea takes control of Agent 8 in this single-player expansion to Splatoon 3, climbing the Spire of Order floor by floor to dismantle a rogue artificial intelligence. Donors get direct influence over the run by choosing the next floor and letting the couch pick the palette that defines Agent 8's loadout.

Description:

IKG blasts through Shadow Generations in this high-speed adventure! Time is in stasis as Shadow revisits angels and devils from his past, harnessing new Doom Powers on the road to freedom. Donors can flip Shadow's controls, force detours into White Space challenges, and expand the scope of this event by unlocking bonus content experienced in the original Sonic Generations.

Description:

Grab a pair of rocket-powered bongos and collect bananas in this Kong vs. Kremling event! Utilizing the Wiimote and Nunchuck combination, the controls are already barely holding together - and donors can make it worse by forcing hand swaps, banning wild moves, and making everyone drop their controllers entirely for ten agonizing seconds.

Description:

Caught in a dire situation, Phoenix Wright's college days are numbered when defense attorney Mia Fey steps up and takes his case. The hilarious and dramatic moments from Ace Attorney 3's first episode are delivered through voice acted portrayals from non-actors! Donors can force the presentation of incorrect evidence and unlock increasingly ridiculous character impressions - from Sonic the Hedgehog as Marvin Grossberg to Kermit the Frog as Phoenix Wright himself.

Description:

One of the defining games of Nintendo's newest console, Donkey Kong Bananza is lovingly showcased by The Red Guy in this massive event. The story of DK and Pauline is in the donor's hands as they dig their way to the Banandium Root! Donations trigger nap time, randomized objectives via wheel spin, drip purchases, and - if the event raises enough - Pauline joins the adventure for a two-player run.

Description:

New Day Island has been revitalized in the newest entry of the Tomodachi Life series! Check in on your favorite Miis, based on characters seen across NDC's past and present charity marathons. Gossip and rumors are already spreading to every corner of the island. Donors shape the lives of these islanders as the community decides their fates.

Description:

Air Ride, Top Ride, City Trial! Witness the chaos unfold at blistering speeds as Kirby and friends race through every mode this game has to offer. Donors can force all players to dismount their Air Ride machines in City Trial, lock everyone onto the dreaded Slick Star, and push the event further by unlocking additional modes through milestones.

Description:

XenoRoss takes his disapproval of GLaDOS to a whole other level with a glitchless speedrun of this Valve classic! Donors take control of Chell's abilities - inverting her aim, forcing narration of each test chamber, and generally making sure the escape from Aperture Science is anything but smooth.

Description:

Crowcrossed treks through this roguelike dungeon crawler with tact and style. Every run is shaped by donor influence: sell all boons for a brutal reset, force inverted controls, or - if the event raises enough - spin a wheel on every remaining run to determine the weapon used. The deeper Crowcrossed pushes, the more donors can pull the rug out.

Description:

Returning from the first Dawn of a New Day in 2022, four players work together to collect every mask and reach the credits in The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask! A bounty has been placed on Majora, and the stakes are high. Donors can lock away swords, force side-quest detours through Goron, Zora, and horse races, and commission a full music concert from the players. NDC brings the 2026 fundraiser to a close with an unparalleled effort to make Termina a better place for all.
