2025’s edition of the annual speedrunning event, Awesome Games Done Quick, has concluded successfully, surpassing $2.5 million in donations for the Prevent Cancer Foundation. One of the highlights from this weekend, and possibly one of the most unforgettable moments in GDQ history, took place near the end when a player navigated Crazy Taxi on Dreamcast while a live band played the soundtrack synchronously.
Username “chuckles825” finished the challenging Crazy Box mode, a collection of separate skill tests, while his band Limiter Cut provided the music that usually accompanies the game. This includes the rhythm-focused main track, which drummer “The Sound Defense” replicated each time returning to the Crazy Box menu.
As an avid gamer, I’ve always enjoyed the pulsating beats of The Offspring in Crazy Taxi. However, it seems there was a copyright quandary for the Games Done Quick team due to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1999 in the U.S. Fortunately, the DMCA allows for live performances of music, so they managed to pull off the run successfully with a live band playing the tunes instead.
The four-member group Limiter Cut has “Metallama” on lead singing, “2dos” handling guitar and additional vocals, “SquidDilla” on bass, and “The Sound Defense” on the drums. They managed to finish their performance in less than 20 minutes.
During Awesome Games Done Quick 2025, the live band performance wasn’t the sole musical act. The event also showcased unique performances such as Elden Ring being played along with a saxophone and a New Super Mario Bros. Wii speedrun where the player controlled Mario using his feet and head, simultaneously playing the soundtrack on a piano.
2025’s Awesome Games Done Quick speedrun replays can all be accessed on the official Games Done Quick YouTube channel.
