Games Done Quick<\/ins><\/a> speedrunning marathons have seen plenty of unusual attempts at beating games as quickly as possible in the name of charity. From races between multiple players to blindfolded runs<\/ins><\/a>, there\u2019s often something a little offbeat on the schedule to shake things up. A run that\u2019s earmarked for January’s Awesome Games Done Quick<\/ins><\/a> event might take the biscuit, though: a Shiba Inu is set to become the first dog to take part in GDQ<\/ins><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Peanut Butter (who is named after the speedrunning term PB, or personal best) is scheduled to tackle NES game Gyromite <\/em>alongside his human, JSR. The pooch\u2019s run will take place remotely<\/ins><\/a>, which may come as slightly disappointing news to those attending AGDQ in-person in Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n

According to a video JSR shared of a previous speedrun<\/a> of the 1985 game, Peanut Butter uses a custom NES controller with four buttons. Those are mapped to A, B, Select and a fourth button that acts as pressing A and B simultaneously. JSR claims Peanut Butter handled all inputs for the run and that \u201cno assistance, autofire, macros or save states were used.\u201d However, it’s worth noting that JSR did guide PB through Gyromite<\/em> with the help of some tasty incentives.<\/p>\n

It took the three-year-old Shina Ibu 25 minutes and 28 seconds to finish the game in that earlier attempt. According to How Long to Beat,<\/ins><\/a> that’s over an hour faster than it takes the typical player to complete Gyromite<\/em>. So Peanut Butter is probably better than you at this game.<\/p>\n
