History VideoGame / Speedrunners

!!''Speedrunners'' provides examples of:

* {{Acrofatic}}: Subverted with The Falcon, he only looks heavy with his bulky costume.
* AmbidextrousSprite: Speedrunner's grappling hook is always on the arm facing the camera, same goes for characters who run with items like the Scout or Moonraker.
* AdvancingWallOfDoom: The camera will automatically start following whoever is in the lead, but only to an extent. If anyone is too far away from the leader, they will be eliminated.

* BurningWithAnger: Hothead, not big surprise.

* CityOfAdventure: Every map takes in New Rush City.
* CrateExpectations: Subverted, crates in Speedrunners are nothing more than tripping hazards. There is an item that allows you to drop three crates of your own.
* EasterEgg: Typing "/Goat" in the chat box while selecting a runner will replace them with a skin of the goat from GoatSimulator. Typing "/Goat" in the chat box while selecting a map will play a sound byte of a goat.

* FunnyAnimal: Salem the witch cat and possibly Neko.

* [[GuestFighter Guest Runners]]: Two Youtuber DLC packs have been released with characters such as Linkara and Markiplier to promote the game, with each pack belonging to a different team. The sales featuring the winning team will be donated to cancer research.

* InvincibilityPowerUp: The Invincidrill, which allows players to temporarily breeze through obstacles and plow through opponents.
* ItsPersonal: As revealed in the Rise of the Falcon Trailer, the runner known as the Falcon was a chicken farmer who swore vengeance on Speedrunner when said runner refused to help him put out a house fire.
* {{Irony}}: Buckshot, a runner who looks like both a deer and a hunter.

* [[LetsFightLikeGentlemen Let's Race Like Gentlemen]]: Even though some racers such as the [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 TF2 Scout]], Moonraker and Skullduggery carry weapons when they run, they never use them against the other racers.

* MakeMeWannaShout: The Shockwave powerup, which creates a spherical Area of Effect sonic boom that can destroy missiles, slow down opponents and reflect fireballs.
* NominalHero: Speedrunner in a strange sense, as he seems to care more about being able to run quickly than any actual heroic work.

* OpaqueLenses: The Falcon's eyes are hidden behind rectangular spectacles that shine in his victory pose.
* PunnyName: Skullduggery, and to an extent Salem the Cat/Witch.
* RaygunGothic: Moonraker was designed like this to deliberately invoke a sense of Zeerust. Cosmonaut Comrade may qualify as well.

* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Manekae Neko gives off this impression, although he may be a [[KillerRabbit Killer Cat]] considering that he/she competes just as aggressively as the rest of the competitors.
* SayMyName: The Falcon in the Rise of the Falcon Trailer when Speedrunner refuses to help put out a housefire, instead deciding to run away.
* TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks: The game's style pays serious homage to this.
* ShoutOut: Unic, who's basically a superhero with a brony gimmick...sort of.

* [[LetsFightLikeGentlemen Let's Race Like Gentlemen]]: Even though some racers such as the TF2 Scout, Moonraker and Skullduggery carry weapons when they run, they never use them against the other racers.
