Super Mario Bros. 3 by mitchflowerpower in

Things not going as planned is the charm of those events. runners getting over the mistakes and keeping the cool shows how good they really are.

[@Hoolahups]

As someone who has dabbled in speedrunning, whenever something happens that isn't in the route, I usually just give up and try again. Marathon settings on games with this much rng require just as much knowledge of the game as a world record speedrun, and is just as inpressive

[@Jackal2664]

Thank you again to everyone who helps GDQ. From the speedrunners to the technical staff to the announcers and the moderators. All of you make GDQ great to watch every year, and I couldn't be more proud to see the gaming community come together thanks to all of you and donate millions of dollars each year. Thank you.

[@jardejay8804]

This game was my entry point into video games all them years ago. Special place in my heart and an amazing first impression to gaming, no wonder why I never stopped.

[@kareningram6093]

Absolutely fantastic, both runs. Thank you so much for closing out AGDQ2023 in style.

[@DynamicSheep]

1:09:30 man, line can't go up forever... It was honestly amazing that you were able to top your previous year's total year after year for SO LONG. This one wasn't live, so the hype took a hit, on top of the macro economic issues you raised, on top of just general audience burn out over 13 years. Y'all are amazing and the fact that this event is as successful as it is every time it's run is kind of a small miracle

[@smillman437]

Mitch: only smiles. What a fun run to watch.

[@RyanRex]

Thanks Mitch for yet another wonderful display of passion.

[@hernanhernandez6567]

That was a pretty good finale. Awesome work Mitch. And nice to the staff!

[@suitov]

Yesssss - unironically love it when people's bemused mums come on stream and say hi. Great work everyone. You killed it again this year. The warmth and kindness of this event make it truly special to me and having it on in the background keeps me company throughout the week.

[@EnderDragon]

While I do miss to days of 3-4 hour finale runs of Chrono Trigger, FF6 and all of those superb JRPGs, this was a great pair of runs and Mitch & Skybilz are fantastic. Loved the finale runs and the goodbyes. We will miss you Mike!

[@tsjbb]

Damn I remember watching this guy like 7(ish) years ago streaming from a house he shared with some guy that would sit and watch with him. Glad he's making a full-time go of it I hope he does well for himself.

[@MrFrefontain]

Miss this game. Not the rage so much, lol, but I played this on release and never focused too much on speed as 100% map completion. Still cool to watch, though. Us younguns back then bragged about the most difficult level completions our neighbors couldn't do. Fun to watch, thank you.

[@JudaiMaverick86]

Mike, thank you for all your hard work man! It makes proud to see how much a gamer can help to such a good cause :)

[@lettuce9012]

Another Amazing GDQ great job Tech people and runners and everybody that runs GDQ cant wait for SGDQ 2023!

[@ocdustino]

Mitch the goat, always a genuine pleasure to watch 🐐

[@SidneyFalco666]

I needed more mitchflowerpower in my life

[@JT-ii9qn]

That was an amazing run and ending! Thank you for Mitch and all the runners, the staff, sponsors, donors, Mike and everyone who has helped with AGDQ! So many people have been helped by this.

[@riandookie6135]

Great run.....Greetings from Trinidad and Tobago

[@JONATHANP1619]

Mitch, always a great time watching you on AGDQ. Congratulations on the run !

[@jlebeau5150]

Great to see a new take on the run with the hammer manipulation, great run

[@CharlotteMimic]

Mitch is such a good entertainer. I'm watching GDQ vods and the crowdless runs hinge so much on the runner & guest's ability to keep the energy up

[@chrizzzly_hh]

Thanks for bringing us the joy of smb3 everytime again! Great runner, even better event! Looking forward to watch the documentary

[@carateca2512]

Great run and great job this GDQ

[@boarst]

I just love how subtly Mitch turns around briefly at 12:17 on the "Airboats" and shoots the Rocky Wrenches. I suppose that's why he's called mitchfireflower.

[@henrywithers452]

I thought that was amazing too.

[@GooonKiller]

Really great run got me into this game again

[@RenPenov]

Mitch is so entertaining. Excellent run!

[@MegaIceLynx]

What a wonderful finale

[@StahlbolzenSC2]

Mario runs are always fun to watch! Gg mitch

[@JJKoester]

The hardest thing to watch on an SMB3 speedrun is Mario not jumping to catch the wand. It spits in the face of everything I believed as a child.

[@TheMultiCasterV2]

Great run! 👏🏼

[@viperomega3095]

Bravo, 'Liked' exactly at 13:00.1. Love what GDQ does and congrats to Mitch. Cheers.

[@viperomega3095]

Way to go Mike, a decade plus of such magic, and the ENTIRE community... well done everyone! Superb!

[@TheNo1pencil]

I don't know what it is about this run, maybe its the music or the gameplay or the commentary, but it puts me right to sleep. I mean that in a 100% good way. This run is the best sleep aid for me.

[@davidmortimer9764]

I didn't manage to catch this one sadly, but watching Mitch play was great! Smiling all the way through, keeping his cool and doing so much math in the middle of a run, that was ridiculous and awesome!

[@CaaaCaaam]

I’m so excited to watch this, Mitch has always been one of my top 3 speed runners. History in the making every time 💆🏻‍♂️

[@jeffreyjeffrey007]

Nice run! Cheers ^_^

[@SECONDQUEST]

I'm not crying. It's rain

[@thesterndragoon9159]

The GOAT delivers again! Great run, Mitch!

[@GordonGordon]

What an ending. Amazing

[@trentgrahamflips9742]

What a treat

[@alvarostockle]

Mitch always manages to be so entertaining! Great run as always!

[@gabrieloliveirafreitassant8752]

Great run! Sad for the hammer suit though

[@GrahamJyc1]

51:40 Mitch hit the sun so hard he sent it back in time.

[@jruss609]

MFP is such a great runner. Haxor did a wonderful job of commentating too. Terrific camaraderie!

[@M4xH4xCentaurus]

Marvelous run as per usual from Mitch! Love to see your speedruns! And Mike will be missed dearly. Although I'll be seeing him on the Hotfix after today!

[@DanHallow]

19:57 the music in the background had perfect timing 😎

[@trceb]

Mitch seems like he would be a great best friend.

[@jaytee7804]

Always love seeing a mitchflowerpower run!

[@ramonguzman4528]

Love AGDQ!!

[@jfgme]

Great run I had fun

[@airkami]

Perfect timing

[@crithon]

Oh that's such a fun run. SMB3 can be frustrating difficult, but great to see such a fun and positive run.

[@codycustis5795]

The random number generation in this run is amazing. After all these years, humanity is still finding ways to optimize Super Mario Bros. 3.

[@GangleNode]

incredible run and ending. couldn't think of a better closer than MFP! keep it up.

[@TheBigShamus]

Amazing to see the wrong warp first try! Such an incredible run by an amazing runner, shame I missed it live.

[@WaldoIsahider]

I now finally understand Terminal Montage.

[@axionjxn3256]

i think it would be pretty cool if they did a super mario world kaizo, super mario bros 3 is still cool though, it was one of the first games i ever played

[@rovalin6300]

Super Mario Bros. 3 is literally the golden standard for what a video game can be.

[@JohnnyFlash-]

The man himself.

[@tedchad]

legit style

[@SuperShadowGuard]

That gameplay was nothing short of beautiful

[@RaschhoferConsumer]

if i wouldn´t be so broke i would´ve jumped on that 13 train :D great work you guys do and really impressive skill, let me remember my childhood in under an hour. i love you guys!

[@littleone4859]

Great watch!

[@TitanMorsche]

The man. The Mitch. The legend.

[@bonokov816]

Haxor, Mitch and Sky…it’s like Batman, Robin, and Batgirl - your call on who is really Batman 😂

[@Stizzfoshizz]

I thought they were doing these live again?

[@ThePhenomenalEX]

The benefit of Mitch playing at home instead of live is that he doesn't have to worry about the infamous PooStomp.

[@Snzk666]

13:49 what happened to the donation amount there??? Wondering if thats the total amount of donations considering GDQ cut?

[@ChurchnSarge]

The tracker bugged and switched to a different event tracker (I think last AGDQ), then switched back to the correct event

[@jsbmx2039]

Go Mitch

[@Zanderkoala]

Mitch knocked it out of the park!

[@vanor_]

An amazing ending for the event!

[@BillieBryan]

I'm hardly familiar with the speed-running scene but…do people not know about the double-whistle trick?

[@CartridgeBlowers]

We'll miss ya, Mike. Don't be a stranger.

[@prodigyminigolf]

I love all the GDQ's. But when are things getting back to the large crowds and live play? I think it's time.

[@RazzleDazzle23]

I don't even know if i ever picked up a hammer suit in my life. We always skipped that world :-o

[@ChuckJones1989]

Does anyone know what song they used for the credits? The song that starts at 1:17:39?

[@leonardomapache]

Challenge idea: every time Mario dies, Grandpoobear has to kick you Nes. :P

[@penguinpun94]

Great event as always

[@olid7947]

an instant classic. And also mitch has to be a national treasure

[@fi4re]

Dat Rainbow Road at 23:20

[@justindza]

Awesome run

[@thevirginmarty9738]

These speedrunners are superhuman!

[@DietBajaBlast]

great run!

[@kruksog]

Love me some MFP. Good stuff mate. Good run.

[@fidel_soto]

Speedrunning masterclass

[@discotrain173]

Any reason why AGDQ was online this year?

[@profplum1301]

Let's go mitchflowerpower!!!

[@thumper5555]

1:22:41 Whats with the MGS3 clip?

[@Anaklusmos42]

The game runs better without a GrandPooBear to stomp on it, heh ? :D Those were two great runs, and an equally great commentary !

[@robsquared2]

Nothing like killing a hammer bros with a hammer.

[@slimchelmi6940]

the man mitch himself running mario 3, good times

[@YaoMingsFriend]

That look at the camera on first hands.

[@DukeCyrus]

charisma stat off the charts

[@RayneBlood]

To bad he didn't make the hammer skip, would have been nice to see. I've never seen it. It sounds like a few maps get skipped.

[@5H0]

Was this the last gdq ever then ? or are we getting summer games done quick this year

[@moomoocupcakes]

Are you asking because one of the hosts said it was his final GDQ? That was for him specifically. The event itself is continuing on

[@reneallergak9275]

LETS GO!!!

[@starvinmarvin351]

Really disappointed that this wasn't an in person event like years past.

[@jonsquirrel3661]

I feel like drawing a Mario 3 pic, Frog Mario in Water Land😂

[@overkill1994]

😭 The end of gdq events always makes me feel like the Lil green dude at the end of "Just For Laughs"

[@Bakerstreetgaming]

Let’s go firepower for the win

[@briangood2048]

Was the any% run faster than a hot pocket, tho? . Yes
