The art of completing a level or an entire game as quickly as possible. Sequence breaking is very often used to accomplish this.

Speed runs are normally classified into different categories.

• Basic speedrun, which focuses only on completing the game as fast as possible.
• Minimalist speedrun, which focuses on completing the game with minimal items.
• 100% completion, which requires collecting every item, secret, or any other required item.
• Tool assisted, which allows the usage of emulators, savestates or slowdowns. 
• Unlike the aforementioned speedrun types, tool-assisted speedruns are designed to be entertaining as well as fast, and are not a show of player skill so much as planning, creativity and artistic ability.
