The 2026 Super Speedrun Marathon, which ran from the 30th to the 4th via the Hope Studio donation platform, has successfully concluded.

Smilegate Hope Studio announced on the 8th that it has wrapped up the charity campaign 'Let's Go Hope! Expedition 2026 Super Speedrun Marathon,' hosted in partnership with Bada Games. The campaign aimed to support wish-granting for children battling incurable diseases. It was structured so that viewers could contribute through donations linked to the 'Super Speedrun Marathon 5' event, which broadcast live gameplay.

'Super Speedrun Marathon 5' was held at All That Mind in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, organized by Bada Games. A total of 30 gamers participated, blazing through 57 different titles, including 'Claire Obscura: Expedition 33', 'Diablo 2: Resurrected', and 'Stellar Blade' using the speedrun format—the art of finishing a game as quickly as humanly possible.

The campaign saw 1,454 gamers and viewers pitch in, raising approximately 26 million won through the Hope Studio platform. Every single penny, with zero deductions for operating costs, has been delivered to Make-A-Wish Korea to fund activities that help grant the wishes of children suffering from serious illnesses.

Bada Games CEO Lim Bada remarked, "The Hope Studio platform left an impression with its accessible donation structure and rewarding elements like badges that memorialise the act of giving. It is encouraging to see how our content and passion for gaming can translate into social value, and we look forward to future collaborations. A massive thank you to all the viewers who joined us in this effort."

Hope Studio Director Kwon Yeon-joo added, "This collaboration with Bada Games is a shining example of how gameplay and viewing experiences can be channeled through a platform to deliver real hope to children. We remain committed to evolving into a social contribution hub where more game companies, IPs, and players can engage in solving societal issues with ease and joy."

Meanwhile, broadcast live via the streaming service 'Chzzk,' the 'Super Speedrun Marathon 5' recorded a cumulative viewership of 83,394, with a total watch time hitting 41,991 hours.
