This dog is taking up speedrunning and intends to prove to the world that he is stronger than you

A gaming dog will show the extent of his abilities to the whole world by participating in a speedrunning competition.

From January 14 to January 21, 2024, Awesome Games Done Quick will return for a brand new edition. If you’re not familiar with the event, just know that it’s a charity marathon centered around speedrunning. But this year, the event will welcome a participant who will certainly not fail to get noticed.

Yes, for the very first time, a dog will invite himself to the party to try to achieve the best possible performance on one of his favorite retro games. And the latter intends to raise as much funds as possible for a good cause!

Peanut Butter: dog, and future new speedrunning star?

This dog, who is definitely not like the others, is called Peanut Butter. He is a Shiba Inu and he has been preparing for several years to participate in a speedrunning competition, which will be held early next year. His master, the Youtuber and speedrunner JSR, designed for him a controller equipped with large buttons (and therefore adapted to his little paws) so that he can more easily interact with the game. The animal will act under the directives of his master , of course.

So it’s about the platform game Gyromite, released on NES in 1985, that the animal will demonstrate the extent of its capabilities. Currently, Peanut Butter’s best time on the title stands at 25 minutes and 29 seconds. A great performance for our four-legged friend, who now just wants to face human beings on a real stage.

Years of preparation for this dog like no other

According to his owner’s statements, Peanut Butter is a ” much smarter than most other dogs “. This is also the reason why he wanted to register his pet in a speedrunning competition and has been preparing him to become a champion since his puppy years.

Note that no rule prohibits animals from participating in a competition of this type as long as the owner does not carry out the requested actions on their behalf.

See you between January 14 and 21, 2024 to attend the new edition of Awesome Games Done Quick. This is where Peanut Butter will officially begin his career as a speedrunner, so we can’t wait to discover his exploits.

For information, the charity marathon will be broadcast live on the event’s Twitch channel. And who knows, maybe Peanut Butter will pave the way for other animals whose secret dream is to become speedrunners?
