Developed by Double Dutch and published by Tiny Build Games, ''[=SpeedRunners=]'' is a four-player, fast-paced, 2D action game that integrates concepts from the platforming and racing genres. The goal is simply to outrun your competitors until they are unable to stay within the moving camera, while also avoiding the deadly borders. The objective is easier said than done, as not only are there numerous obstacles, but there are also plenty of power ups designed for hectic, competitive gameplay that can mean the difference between first and last place. The game was released on Steam on August 26th, 2013 and finally exited Early Access on April 19th, 2016.

* BlatantBurglar: Jailbird, one of the many unlockable characters who either wears the classic black & white striped outfit with domino mask or a more modern orange jumpsuit.

* CelebrityEndorsement: In-Universe with [=SpeedRunner=] promoting a fictitious beverage called "[=BoostaCoke=]" on a billboard in some maps. The Youtuber characters existing in the game with their own title cards reading "Let's Play Some [=SpeedRunners=]" could qualify as an out-of-universe example.

* DestructiveSavior: Applies to just about everyone in the [=SpeedRunners=] competition, as the "Jumping The Shark" and "Rise of the Falcon" comics reveal that while these so-called "Heroes" do good deeds, they tend to cause more destruction at crime scenes than good.

* GratuitousFrench: Most of Luc Jadores quotes and title cards are in French.

** 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.

* RaygunGothic: Moonraker was designed like this to deliberately invoke a sense of Zeerust. Cosmonaut Comrade may qualify as well.

** Fort Knight has one that involves [[Comicbook/IronMan red and orange armor]].

* StylisticSuck: As part of an April Fool's Day update, players can change the settings on the graphics to render the game in a poor-man's NES, EGA or Gameboy style reminiscent of PacmanFever.

* WallJump: Possible with specially marked walls. Most courses have at least one section that can only be navigated by wall-jumping up it.

* {{Acrofatic}}: Subverted with The Falcon, he only looks heavy with his bulky costume.

** All of Cosmonaut Comrade's title cards are in accurate Russian, including his Steam trading card. "Do you respect me?"
