Speed Run

A speed run is an intentional attempt to complete a game in the fastest time possible.

There are two types of speed runs:
 * Regular speedrun - A speed run that neglects using tools to assist the player.
 * Tool-assisted superplay/speedrun (TAS) - A speed run which uses tools, often through the use of emulators, to assist the player in completing the game in the fastest "game time" possible. Some tools used include reducing speed and save states.

Megathon
A Megathon ("Mega Man marathon") is a nickname to a type of speed run or casual run of the Mega Man games where the player completes every game in a series back-to-back. These runs are usually recorded for fans to view on platforms such as Twitch, YouTube, Facebook, or other sites that have video streaming abilities. (Examples)

Megathons are usually very long, even with the fastest speedruns of the original 10 Mega Man games listed above. Added up, the fastest time an average player could have is 5:45:09, so it would take a day or two to finish. Due to this, Megathons are usually started during the weekend to avoid interference from weekly tasks like school and work.
