Missing
'Our planet appears to be missing.'

This article or section has an upcoming feature. We'll look forward to the feature.

SkaterFront Ok, I found one. Now what?

This page is recomended for newcomers.

Run 3 is the first Run game to introduce a storyline, mainly told through cutscenes. Most cutscenes appear after completing a tunnel, but others show up when you click on a drawing on the galaxy map.

As of January 7, 2017, there is a cutscene gallery in the main menu. Any cutscene seen by the player before can be viewed again in the gallery. The cutscenes are displayed in chronological order, and their official names can be seen when moused over.

Before the update that added the cutscene gallery, the only way to view most cutscenes again was to play the level before it again. However, a few cutscenes could also, or could only be, viewed by clicking on a drawing on the map.

An asterisk (*) after the name means the Child is hiding in the background of the cutscene.

After a few failed attempts to grab the map, the Runner and Skater both jump at the same time and flip around to land on the ceiling. At last, they get back the map. The Skater almost immediately leaves for skating, without even introducing himself because he's got "exploring to do".

After beating Level M-5, a cutscene will begin in which the Duplicator is watching the Runner's attempts to reach a tunnel in the distance. She kept trying, but she fell short every time. The Duplicator asks the Runner if she has gone insane, but the Runner denies it. When she respawns, the Runner notices that the Duplicator drew on her map. The Duplicator says that this is to "commemorate the moment" she has gone insane, before the Runner finally makes it past the gap and reaches the F-Tunnel.

River

This cutscene has been replaced by a text that is shown while playing, thus removing this cutscene from the cutscene gallery. It is still referred to as River, however.

River

River

Upon finishing Level F-1, the Child tells his father that he likes to call this tunnel the river. He then says rivers are a thin blue line, and this tunnel is like a thin blue line in space. The discussion ended with the Duplicator saying that this is a good analogy.

After beating Level F-2, the Child and Duplicator will start discussing about rivers, and Duplicator reminds his son that most books are fictional.

And after beating Level F-3, Duplicator asks the Child what is the color of a river, and Child answers blue. He asks what the color of water is as well. The Child replies that water is clear. Then the Duplicator starts questioning if river is really made out of water.

Lastly, after beating Level F-4, the Child wonders about what is he going to call the tunnel. The Duplicator says that "the River" is a good name and the Child replies "but it doesn't make sense anymore!". The Duplicator asks if he's sure and then tells the Child to think about what he just learned. Then he begins to say that just like rivers, this tunnel wasn't made of water as well, but then the Child interrupts him, realizing that this tunnel wasn't made of water either and that his name "The River" still works.

Socratic Method.

After beating Level F-5, a cutscene will begin, and it starts with the Runner allowing the Child to rename this tunnel, but not to move it on the map. She goes on to explain why, showing him that if, for example, she moved the position of Level A-1 to the end of the Box Storage Area, the map would be wrong because there's nothing over there. The Child understands this, so the Runner allows him to officially change the name from "F-Tunnel" to "The River".

After watching the Skater fall several times, he eventually runs in front of the Skater as he respawns to stop him. He tells the Skater that his skates make life harder and that it would be easier if he slowed down. The Skater responds saying "Don't knock it until you've tried it", and proceeds to skate through the level, the Angel mumbling.

The Student launches into a long paragraph about what she thinks about its abilities, proposing the idea that it was never noticed because it can't go out the tunnel, and being at the edge, it didn't budge. She also hypothesizes that when pushing the box, she is actually pushing the whole tunnel. She ALSO mentions that there are apparently two types of rings. Then the Runner says she should rephrase her question. She meant they need more of them and where can she find them. The Student says to follow her after that.

Summary

Ten aliens enter tunnels in space. The Runner, a famous cartographer, the Skater, an athletic teenager, the Lizard, a sleepy reptile, the Bunny, a hyperactive rodent, the Child, a sneaky kid, the Duplicator(also known as the Negotiator), a conspiracy making family man, the Gentleman, an upper class with an amazing vocabulary, the Pastafarian, a bridge wielding priest of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, the Student, an intelligent gravity manipulator, and the Angel, an egotistical engineer. They explore for awhile and all meet each other. The Angel, Bunny, Child and Duplicator want to go home but find out that their Planet is missing.

They end up looking for a way home. The Child watches the others activity, and his father uses the info to come up with a conspiracy. The Angel get's tired of the Runner's leadership, and finds his own way home. The Student discovers a wormhole alongside the Runner, and they start brainstorming ways to reach it, not wishing to return home yet. The Student finds ringed boxes and tells the Runner (who later recruits the Skater) to collect rings in order to build a box bridge to the Wormhole.

The Angel finds who he can and tells them to come home with him. The Runner, Skater, Student, and Gentleman decline, while the Lizard is basically left behind. The Pastafarian finds the Bunny. The Gentleman is revealed to have taken the Lizard for himself, and works on his project, the Gentleman's own tunnel, the Memory Evaluation. The Runner starts to the Wormhole, while the Angel starts home.

The Angel is revealed to be working on a boat, which they use to cross a gap they find, and leave the Duplicator behind, leaving him to catch up. The Duplicator starts to suspect that the Angel wants to take his son, and the Angel estimates that they should get home in about two months.

The Runner and Skater split from the Student. The Student is working on test when she hears strange beeping. This beeping responds to her telling her the Authorities are coming. She waits, and sleeps, and finds out how to start the beeping again and why it is caused.

The Pastafarian leaves the Angel, and finds the Gentleman. It is revealed that the Gentleman has been building another tunnel this whole time, the Coordination Challenge. The Pastafarian is asked to test it, and obliges. The Pastafarian finishes and asks where the Runner is. The Child decides he will build a spaceship with the Angel, and it turns into a learning experience, where they try and figure out how to leave the tunnel re-spawn barrier. This is to be continued...
