Fun fact: about 7, 8 minutes before the donation train, I sent a tweet to Elon Musk asking if he could help out with the Dark Side incentive, and then... what to you know, the craziness started taking place. Awesome moment, and participating in the Discord voice chat was insanely hype too. Best AGDQ in years!

[@G0ACMILAN17]

This was without a doubt one of the coolest speedruns I have ever seen. Not only did spike and Bayleef make it so easy to follow and enjoy, but the donation train at the 3 hour mark was absolutely insane and truly proved that every single one of those donations means everything to events like this! Incredible. My heart is full ❤️

[@espenmauseth1284]

Best run I've seen this far across all GDQs. Spike seems like a genuinely empathetic and charming guy. Really enjoyed the comentary from him. Great runner as well.

[@tlozfreak888]

I was there for the $5 train. It was... incredible thing to watch the total just go up, and up, and up, and up. For such a long time. If there ever was a way to prove that every small donation counts, it would be that. They raised 100k in about ten minutes. That's ten thousand dollars a minute. That's two thousand people donating $5 every minute. That's 33 people every second. That's incredible.

This is the most epic GDQ run/segment I've ever seen. I literally teared up at the $5 pledge runs. I doubt there can be a higher aspiration in speedrunning than to be the guy in the chair, or on the couch, when all this happens.

[@serpenttao]

Moon get fanfare clap was amazing. I was already loving MOOOOOON but just like the run, the crowd interaction just kept getting better. Massive respect for Bayleef, both for his amazing choice in username (and pokémon!) and his incredible run skills, and great commentary between him and the always incredible SpikeVegeta, too. 3 hours long run, but 3 hours of interesting stuff going on. This is top tier GDQ for sure

Love this run! Such a fun experience! It’s probably a pipe dream at this point, considering how much more diverse in games GDQ has gotten over the years, but I think it would just be incredible to have one gigantic Mario block with every Mario game ever made. It would probably last 2-3 days, but the entire franchise is just the epitome of fun.
