Peanut Butter, a Shiba Inu gamer, will be the first dog to speedrun Gyromite at Awesome Games Done Quick 2024
For the first time ever Awesome Games Done Quick, the huge annual speedrunning charity event where players compete to set world records in crafty ways, will have a dog compete onstage. I suppose this is the logical culmination of speedrunning. On Tuesday, speedrunner JSR announced in a YouTube video that his Shiba Inu, Peanut Butter, will play Nintendo’s 1985 strange puzzle-action NES game Gyromite at AGDQ 2024 in January.
The only difference is that R.O.B. isn’t a cute doggo who gets treats for being a gamer while single-handedly bringing Gyromite back into the mainstream. Check out Peanut Butter’s hype-AF announcement trailer: This won’t be Peanut Butter’s first time playing Gyromite for an audience. Back in July, JSR uploaded a video of Peanut Butter’s first speedrun attempt. It took the gamer doge 25 minutes and 29 seconds to beat the game. Eat your heart out, Air Bud.
