Games Raced Awfully Wiki

**Welcome to the Games Raced Awfully Wiki!**

A place to follow the super serious GRA racing league.

Games Raced Awfully is a small niche community of gamers who race video games for the fun of it. The videos will often include several participants casually (and in some cases "awfully") racing to achieve a certain goal, whether it be beat the game or get the furthest in a set time limit. Some racers are tryhards, which is something we do not condone, and actively mock.

We're not SDA or GDQ, so if you're searching for genuine, competitive races against dedicated speedrunners, then you will not find it here. We aim to make videos that are casual, mildly competitive, and that put entertainment first.

We are just one small branch of a much larger Let's Race community. Other communities include races organized by Smight, Dithiannim, The T, Sprasshu, GoldenGleeGamer and RJWaters2.

### THE PSYCHIC GAYMER SMASHES THE COMPETITION IN MYSTERY MAYHEM

The Psychic Gaymer, Michael, has defeated some big names in what was an incredibly lucky mystery draw. 16 games were put forward in the randomizer, including Pepsiman, but despite the odds of only two crash games being in the list, Micky's wet dream CAME true, when Crash Team Racing was pulled from the hat. As soon as the game was revealed, the racers knew there was going to be a big hurdle to climb to defeat Michael, but all attempts were smashed in was was a whacky race with crazy rules. Ultimately, Micky became the first holder of the mystery title. This race also saw popular Spyro youtuber, Crystal Fissure compete for only the second time for GRA.

### LUKERF44 SHOWS OF SKILLS IN GEX GAUNTLET

Gex was the second game to introduce a title trophy (after Spyro) and has unfortunately been plagued with editing set-backs. Gex 2 was the first game raced for the cup, to which Luke won it. Luke would then go on to lose the title to Lucas Bolton, who has recently just lost it again back to Luke, in what is an epic Gex rivalry. Unfortunately, all of the videos are being uploaded out of order due to editing delays. But, for those of you hardcore enough to read this wiki, you will know that Luke is technically the champion at this time.

### TOONEYSA CLIMBS TO THE TOP OF THE CROC CRUCIBLE

TooneySA opened RACELMANIA with a bang, by defeating two awesome Croc competitors: LukeRF44 and Dessert Monkey (Nintendogen64 was there too), to become the Second Croc Cup Champion. How long will his reign last? Probably a while. Croc is a pretty unpopular game at the moment.

### FOLDUPVERMIN CLAIMS KINGDOM KARTS CUP

FoldupVermin finally got his dream match of Mario Kart Wii after the initial race was scrapped around 2017. He defeated Danta and Tooney in what was a very competitive race for first, with Tooney lagging behind after failing to win one of the races in the prix. The goal was to win any 3 cups. Danta and Vermin finished with seconds of each other, whilst Tooney could only pray that blue shells went into other people's games.

### DANIEL DAVIDSON BECOMES THE SECOND GRA SPYRO SPEEDRUN CHAMPION IN A BLAZE OF GLORY!

Congratulations to Daniel for winning the second ever Spyro Championship. It was an intense race to get 100 eggs in Spyro 3: Year of the Dragon. Former champion, LukeRF44, went a step further from Spyro 2 and decided to record 0 footage and was therefore stripped of the title, on legal grounds given by our Race Attorney. Dan would beat the game in a very impressive time around the 1hour and 6 minute mark. Dan has developed into a high quality runner of Spyro, and the other racers may have their work cut out for them in the 80 Egg Double Jump race coming soon.

### MTB DOMINATES CRASH SPEEDRUN CHAMPIONSHIP AT RACELMANIA!

MTB beat 7 other competitors in what was an intense race of Crash Bandicoot 1. The stipulation was that you had to begin a new game and defeat Ripper Roo all in one life. Collecting gems along the way would mean a competitor would have to pause the game for 30 seconds. MTB was frozen 3 times, but still clutched the victory. And to rub salt in the wounds he continued to play the game. He reached 'The High Road' before finally losing a life.

### ISGP SPEEDRUN CUP COMES TO A CLOSE

ISGP's second incarnation of the Spyro Speedruns Cup has finished! With 36 competitors spanning over 6 groups, the final came down to Muddy, DessertMonkeyJK, Yeswally1, and MayoDoctor. It was a very close race, but ultimately the experience of Yeswally1 allowed him to prevaIl.
