Normal speedrunning is impressive enough, but charity speedrun marathon Games Done Quick tends to up the ante by letting people showcase some other talents during special gimmick runs. This year's AGDQ brought us something special with Wes' any% run of New Super Mario Bros. Wii, where he played through the game while performing its entire soundtrack on piano.
How do you play a video game while your hands are occupied by playing a piano? By strapping controllers to your body, of course. Wes' rig included a pair of Joy-Con controllers adapted to command the Wii game. One controller was strapped to his head, which Wes could tilt left or right to run in either direction. The other was strapped to his foot, letting him hold down the bumper with his toes to run, or shove the thumbstick into the ground to jump.
