The competition will see the Hololive contestants test out their skills in 10 “carefully selected events” in the game’s Speedrun mode. Each VTuber will play each challenge twice, with their fastest run recorded.

The times of each VTuber will then be compiled and ranked, with 1st place receiving 4 points, 2nd place receiving 3 points, 3rd place receiving 2 points, and 4th place receiving 1 point. From here, the player with the highest total points is declared the winner. The challenges the VTubers will play include the following:
