On January 16, Peanut Butter grew to become the primary canine to ever speedrun a recreation at Superior Video games Achieved Fast. And whereas the Shiba Inu gamer didn’t set a brand new report at present or beat their earlier private finest, Peanut Butter remains to be an excellent boy who deserves all of the pets and treats.
Final 12 months, PB’s proprietor introduced that he can be the primary canine to speedrun on the annual AQDG charity occasion, which brings collectively speedrunners from world wide to set data and livestream video games l in an effort to increase hundreds of thousands of {dollars} for numerous charities, together with Docs With out Borders and the Forestall Most cancers Basis. PB’s recreation of alternative is the Nintendo Leisure System launch recreation, Gyromite, an odd puzzle-action recreation launched in 1985. It infamously used a robotic accent that helped “play” the sport, however PB takes the place of the robotic throughout his runs utilizing a customized controller with massive buttons and getting assist from his proprietor as wanted.
Earlier at present, Peanut Butter and his proprietor, speedrunner JSR, streamed the gaming canine’s try at setting a brand new report. Beforehand, PB had accomplished Gyromite’s “B Recreation” mode in 25 minutes and 29 seconds. Nonetheless, regardless of being a very good boy who was fed loads of treats and given a lot of pets and who has by no means finished something fallacious in his life, PB wasn’t in a position to beat his earlier finest report, developing simply quick at 26 minutes and 24 seconds.
PB nonetheless holds the report for the quickest canine to ever full Gryromite’s B Recreation. He’s additionally (at present) the one canine to carry that report on Speedrun.com. And he’s not far off the perfect Recreation B report set by a human, which is 24 minutes and 39 seconds.
“This took years of coaching,” JSR wrote within the description of Peanut Butter’s preliminary Gyromite speedrun. “I wished to coach him to do one thing particular, once I realized as a pet that he was a lot smarter than most different canines I’ve seen. Since I’m a speedrunner and PB was actually named after getting a ‘P’ [personal best] in a speedrun it solely made sense to me.”
I feel we will all agree that whereas PB may not be essentially the most expert gamer on the earth, he’s simply the perfect and least shitty gamer on the planet. And that counts for one thing in my guide.
