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

[@smillman437]

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

[@kareningram6093]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@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.

[@SidneyFalco666]

I needed more mitchflowerpower in my life

[@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 :)

[@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.

[@lettuce9012]

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

[@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.

[@ocdustino]

Mitch the goat, always a genuine pleasure to watch 🐐

[@jlebeau5150]

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

[@riandookie6135]

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

[@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.

[@JONATHANP1619]

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

[@MegaIceLynx]

What a wonderful finale

[@SECONDQUEST]

I'm not crying. It's rain

[@GooonKiller]

Really great run got me into this game again

[@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.

[@carateca2512]

Great run and great job this GDQ

[@trentgrahamflips9742]

What a treat

[@TheMultiCasterV2]

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

[@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 💆🏻‍♂️

[@GordonGordon]

What an ending. Amazing

[@chrizzzly_hh]

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

[@trceb]

Mitch seems like he would be a great best friend.

[@RenPenov]

Mitch is so entertaining. Excellent run!

[@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!

[@gabrieloliveirafreitassant8752]

Great run! Sad for the hammer suit though

[@StahlbolzenSC2]

Mario runs are always fun to watch! Gg mitch

[@WaldoIsahider]

I now finally understand Terminal Montage.

[@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.

[@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.

[@jeffreyjeffrey007]

Nice run! Cheers ^_^

[@airkami]

Perfect timing

[@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.

[@ThePhenomenalEX]

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

[@jruss609]

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

[@thesterndragoon9159]

The GOAT delivers again! Great run, Mitch!

[@TheBigShamus]

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

[@jaytee7804]

Always love seeing a mitchflowerpower run!

[@alvarostockle]

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

[@GrahamJyc1]

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

[@jfgme]

Great run I had fun

[@tedchad]

legit style

[@ramonguzman4528]

Love AGDQ!!

[@leonardomapache]

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

[@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!

[@crithon]

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

[@RazzleDazzle23]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@SuperShadowGuard]

That gameplay was nothing short of beautiful

[@DanHallow]

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

[@GangleNode]

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

[@bonokov816]

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

[@TitanMorsche]

The man. The Mitch. The legend.

[@robsquared2]

Nothing like killing a hammer bros with a hammer.

[@jsbmx2039]

Go Mitch

[@littleone4859]

Great watch!

[@Zanderkoala]

Mitch knocked it out of the park!

[@jonsquirrel3661]

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

[@fi4re]

Dat Rainbow Road at 23:20

[@vanor_]

An amazing ending for the event!

[@thevirginmarty9738]

These speedrunners are superhuman!

[@fidel_soto]

Speedrunning masterclass

[@Stizzfoshizz]

I thought they were doing these live again?

[@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

[@slimchelmi6940]

the man mitch himself running mario 3, good times

[@YaoMingsFriend]

That look at the camera on first hands.

[@BaronTMan]

I was this old when I noticed there is a tanooki tail in the 3 in the title screen.

[@starvinmarvin351]

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

[@justinspriggs2979]

i was today years old when i learned there was a hammer suit.

[@penguinpun94]

Great event as always

[@jstdun]

Awesome run

[@CartridgeBlowers]

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

[@reneallergak9275]

LETS GO!!!

[@olid7947]

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

[@DukeCyrus]

charisma stat off the charts

[@joshmgeni8062]

It's kinda hard not to think this is exactly how Mario was supposed to be played

[@BillieBryan]

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

[@DietBajaBlast]

great run!

[@profplum1301]

Let's go mitchflowerpower!!!

[@Bakerstreetgaming]

Let’s go firepower for the win

[@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.

[@Anaklusmos42]

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

[@overkill1994]

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

[@ChuckJones1989]

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

[@briangood2048]

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

[@kruksog]

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

[@timhowland7103]

what the heck was Snake doing at the end there? haha!
