Very Good Dog completes charity speedrun for GDQ

A dog called Peanut Butter has completed a speedrun of the Nintendo game Gyromite for Games Done Quick

A charity speedrun of the NES game Gyromite was completed by the goodest of boys for Games Done Quick.

Speedruns are amongst the most impressive feats in gaming, relying on in-depth knowledge of a game, expert timing and a lot of patience to get them right. Whether it be a normal speedrun, a blindfolded run, or other parameters to make them more challenging, a successful speedrun at any level is something to be proud of.

However, even more impressive than a human doing a speedrun is an animal, which is why we’re very happy to say a clever dog recently completed a charity speedrun on the Games Done Quick livestream.

Peanut Butter, a Shiba Inu belonging to speedrunner JSR, recently finished a run of the Nintendo Entertainment System game Gyromite using nothing but his paws.

The way it worked was through a custom controller placed at Peanut Butter’s feet, with large buttons he’d press at the command of JSR. The buttons controlled gates and platforms within the game, eventually resulting in a victory for the pair which was celebrated by the thousands of fans cheering them on. In total the run took 26 minutes and 24 seconds.


Often speedrunners on the Games Done Quick livestream make the trip to Pittsburgh to play in front of an audience, however the pair decided it’d be best to remain at home for the challenge instead, though that didn’t take away from the massive achievement.

JSR has said it’s taken years to teach Peanut Butter to press the right buttons on command, with treats being used to make the behaviour more consistent. Nevertheless all the hard work paid off and Peanut Butter was rewarded with plenty more treats and a lot of love once the run had been completed.

There’s been no word on if Peanut Butter will ever do another speedrun, though JSR will as he’ll soon be tackling Castlevania 3: Dracula’s Curse.
