** ''The Runaway Guys Colosseum'', a yearly charity livestream that's also hosted on Jon's Twitch channel. Originally launched in 2018, this weekend long event features the likes of LetsPlay/MasaeAnela, LetsPlay/{{Lucahjin}}, LetsPlay/StephenPlays (along with his wife Mal, AKA [=MalMakes=]), LetsPlay/JoshJepson, LetsPlay/AttackingTucans, LetsPlay/{{Marriland}}, and LetsPlay/TomFawkes, along with musicals guests like Adrisaurus, [=FamilyJules=], and [=ToxicxEternity=]. The stream relies mainly on video game challenges, musical performances, and other miscellaneous activities to raise money for the medical relief charity, Direct Relief. Lasting about 3-4 days a year and featuring an impressive cast of participants, ''Colosseum'' is, to date, the largest collaborative event ever hosted by the channel.

* ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' again, this time with 16 competitors [[labelnote:featuring]]LetsPlay/{{Lucahjin}}, [=PurpleRodri=], LetsPlay/{{Donnabellez}}, LetsPlay/Pcull44444, LetsPlay/SuperJeenius, [[LetsPlay/StephenPlays Stephen and Mallory]], LetsPlay/AttackingTucans, LetsPlay/JoshJepson, and the crew from LetsPlay/WiiRikeToPray[[/labelnote]]. Double-elimination style.

** Chugga being BornLucky was dropped after ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', though it does still get referenced during ''Mario Party'' games. Tim being the one left in the dust has also begun to get subverted, or at least has fewer instances.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Some spell "Chugga" as "Chugga'''a'''" despite Emile always shortening it to the former himself (his original intent was for his username to read as "Chugga A. Conroy"). Some also call Jon "Jo'''h'''n".

On occasion at various conventions, the Runaway Guys have their own panel, called ''Thrown Controllers'', essentially a game show inspired by ''Series/NickArcade''. In its debut at PAX East 2012, two teams took turns answering questions and playing video game challenges, either against each other, solo, or against members of the audience. At PAX Prime 2012, they {{retool}}ed the game (mostly due to the previous iteration being plagued by technical problems and a sluggish pace) into a single-person quiz show with challenges, similar to the initial concept except for one person at a time, and this is how it has been done since. Many prizes are awarded at these panels, ranging from character pins from Fangamer to (as a grand prize) an actual video game console, such as a UsefulNotes/Nintendo3DS, UsefulNotes/WiiU, or UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch.
