The Switch 2 has a very slim line-up of first-party launch titles, with only two new releases — Mario Kart World and Welcome Tour. One is a game, the other... well, our Editor-in-Chief put it best: "It's like someone has gamified a HR presentation on a new in-house word processor."
It's hard to imagine sitting through it once, learning such interesting tidbits as the console having cooling vents on (get this!) both sides, let alone repeat 'playthroughs'. Yet somehow, it has a fledgling speedrunning community trying to shave down the world record for a few different categories. Stamp Rally is simple: you walk around the console and its peripherals, taking note of every feature, while 100 Medals is more involved, sprinkling in a few lacklustre minigames.
That's what 360Chrism has been pouring hours into for the last few days, streaming their attempts on Twitch. So far, they've collected every single stamp in Welcome Tour in just 28 minutes and 38 seconds, and 100 medals in 59 minutes and 52 seconds, fast becoming the face of the Welcome Tour speedrunning community. But there are plenty of others quietly chipping away at the world record.
The speedrunning...
