Get ready for a video game event like no other, because a four-legged competitor is ready to turn heads at Awesome Games Done Quick (AGDQ) 2024. making history as the first dog to complete a speedrun in a video game for the popular event.

A dog will complete a video game speed run all by himself
Peanut Butter clearly doesn’t have thumbs, making it difficult to hold the controller. However, the owner can make the dog play games using a personalized controller. This is associated with four different buttons, according to the main JSR_ description on YouTube: A, B, two buttons, and the Select button.
Peanut Butter’s first documented speedrun lasted 25 minutes, 29 seconds on Gyromite last July. Unsurprisingly, the dog is therefore far from breaking the world record, but what is surprising is that he can complete the game with only a few instructions from his owner.
The information in this video also explains how the pup started running fast, as JSR states: ” I wanted to train him to do something special and as a puppy I realized he was much smarter than most other dogs I had seen. Since I’m a fan of speedrunning (and PB’s name literally comes from taking a “PB” in speedrunning), this made sense to me “.
