[@thesterndragoon9159]

1:42:57 That was hilarious and awesome to watch happen! The announcer's reaction and the realization by the crowd were priceless. I think that is the PERFECT way to throw shade at Autoscrollers. Simply glorious.

If you, like me, had trouble keeping track of who the runners are, here's a breakdown: SMB Kosmicd12 lackattack24 mrcab55 SMB2 bjw just_defend Svenne SMB3 Aweglib Kirua grandpoobear Lost Levels SuperSonic71087 RaikouRider darbian SMW xsvArea51 Truman Dotsarecoolp

[@madikava]

Much appreciated!

[@cynthiaobligeasmr]

Sam Krygsheld thank you cause I wanted to know if they were playing 2 or Lost, but they play both 💕💕

[@리브이-b9b]

Thank you!

[@liamgallagher9700]

Great sportsmenship on display with the other runners waiting for the graphics fix. Wooo

[@dwarfymcgee]

Every couple of months, I come back and re-watch this segment. One of my favorites of all GDQs easily.

[@Littlerena472]

Such amazing sportsmanship showed by all of these runners. It's great to see the gaming community doing something so beneficial for the world. I hope things like GDQ continue for a long time to come.

[@stevenx2523]

Too many crazy tricks to even call them all out. It's wild how close this was over nearly 3 hours.

[@per-eriknielsen8204]

Hi SGDQ. Greetings from Norway :) Have watching your race and doing a incredible job with play those games and donations to the fondations and help the people struggling with the cancer. Keep up the awesome work guys :)

[@djvoid1]

I miss the Mario Maker races

[@TheSquirrelbeast]

This

[@Erdrick68]

This was by far my most anticipated event. I was so annoyed that its time kept getting changed. It was originally scheduled to start at like 3:30 then was moved to 6 something, then 8, then 7, then finally 6:40. I ended up missing the explanation of small fire mario.

[@lightcast846]

kirua such a beast...also that hammer bro lost from Poo really hurt :(

[@joshuas.g.g.4951]

2:00:44 for the fastest crowd hype-to-lull of all time

[@golgarisoul]

+

[@riahlexington]

Amazing 😉! I like it when Poo lost hammer and he had to apologize to darb and darn just shrugs it off-so chill darb is my favorite runner. AMAZING race shoutouts to all the runners!

[@PhantomXYz_]

was a fantastic race

[@PhantomXYz_]

watch and find out. :)

[@Humblemumble7]

I can't understand so good, I said

[@muh4m]

02:16:11 Worst choke of the entire run. RIP Poobear

[@akaRicoSanchez]

To be fair, that costed about 40 sec and team Birdo finished 2nd at 43 sec, so Poo is not to blame! Also he finished 2nd of the SMB3 split, 58 seconds behind the first at my count.

[@rdrmw2]

He had one job

[@elblogdelfeno]

What about Aweglib at 1:21:56

[@muh4m]

Unfortunate but not a show stopper. Can happen.

[@riahlexington]

Kirua dying un auto scroller

[@danielc9635]

Wow, that's worth watching all they way through. Incredible.

[@Nekenieh7]

Props to Svenne for playing through that.

[@SpeedrunInternational]

thank you!

[@cheguevara8410]

Really, hats off to you sir.

[@BaconMinion]

Better man than me, just looking at it on my screen is enough to give me a headache. I can't imagine actually playing with that.

[@Fritzyboo]

Indeed. He's the man

[@Baxxunderslash24]

And he did pull off some of the best swag.

[@samk8005]

Awesome run idea! Great commentators too.

[@The_NSeven]

Gg to all the runners, you did an amazing job

[@CarpeDonnelly]

2 death 20:25 for Kosmic is unbelievable. Dude is the best in the world

[@MasterBugCatcher]

WE LOVE YOU GRAND POOBEAR!!!

[@The_NSeven]

Marbles Marbles Marbles Marbles Marbles

[@vorelover9657]

this was on my b-day thanks this was a amazing gift too enjoy

[@John3710]

Auth is SOOOOO good at being funny without trying to be funny. Too many couch talkers try to hard to make it a comedy show, be yourselves! With that said, this was a fun run to watch, runners, commentators, crowd!

[@TastyBusiness]

Whoa, for the first time I heard the commentary say the word "strategies" in a an GDQ video. I never thought I would see the day.

[@supergamingbros9559]

the order is smb1 then smb2 and then smb3 then smb lost levels then smw

[@ChaosXeronix]

Was an awesome Race. Please more of that it was amazing!

[@williampittman2432]

At least Poo didnt stomp for the hammer suit

[@madikava]

Such an amazing set of runs. Very impressive.

[@TheJonathanc82]

Still one of my favorite GDQ events ever. I said it then and I’ll say it a gain: let’s go team Boom Boom!

[@Vhite]

So close! 17 seconds difference after 5 games! Could have been under 10 seconds but Dots had only to gain from taking more risky strat, sadly it didn't work out.

[@Batmannerz]

I wish they'd have started each game at the same time (each team with their own timer that stops while they wait for the other teams to finish). It would have been easier to see which team was in the lead (best timer) and made it more fun to see which runners did which games best.

[@OgienChomik]

when you watched part of the run live, saw the tweet of who won, but forgot who it was so you were on the edge of your seat the entire time rooting for team birdo in the end XD

[@hereandnow3700]

i can't believe i watched the whole run!

[@angeldude101]

When they mentioned google glass and told google to donate, my Google Home actually responded. It couldn't do anything, but it did pickup the voice.

[@benturner6270]

I keep coming back to this video! Great performance from all the runners, and stellar commentary from skybillz, johncarls, and authorblues. authorblues' deadpan kills me, especially in this exchange: johncarls: [Svenne]'s also the only person with a Swedish flag wrapped around his neck. authorblues: In my experience that's true.

[@SpeedrunInternational]

Was a great show! /Svenne

[@Jermafide]

This was really fun to watch. Perhaps a Zelda relay race next year? PLEASE?!?!

[@Gnidel]

Jermafide I'd love to see New Super Mario Bros. series relay race.

[@Karanagi]

Gotta love that sportmanship at the end :)

[@riahlexington]

Oh yes

[@elblogdelfeno]

Sad to see Darbian didn't perform, he was killing SMB2 at the time and still is. Shit is bound to happen in a marathon, sadly..

[@riahlexington]

He performed-he did a clip lol. Still impressive even with deaths. Lost levels is hard.

[@MrRogordo]

Feño Sky Well, he took a 2+ minute disadvantage to 55 seconds. I think he really showed that his skills are really above the other runners, he shaved seconds in every level he did not die, and they all died 3 times, so Darbian made a great job, certanily not as impressive as other of his runs but still pretty cool.

[@elementalfunk]

Why did I find myself so badly wanting Team Birdo to win? What an amazing race.

[@riahlexington]

Probably because darbian was captain!

[@MrCab55]

Thank you for your support. Sorry about 7-2 😢

[@Falcon15x]

This IsThe Craziest Speedrun I Have Ever Seen

[@chrisabraham5999]

It's kind of nit-picky but what would really make the races even better to watch is if you knew how many seconds the 2nd and 3rd place runners were behind the leader. There are times when I wish I knew just how close or far the runners were from each other.

[@blueberryblues5644]

Gregory Norris that also implies you can't declare a winner either. And just a simple number on screen that says the literal clocked time differences would be easy.

[@AntiNubDevice]

+Chris Abraham - The problem is, you can't know exactly how far behind someone is, unless you're judging everyone against a perfect time. Runners make mistakes, or get good/bad RNG, and so on. There's not a way to know how far behind or ahead someone truly is, because you can't account for random happenstance.

[@zinoelgato]

Awesome games, awesome runners! One question though, why didn't you guys leave each runners links in the description? That would have been great since their names didn't appear all that often.

[@riahlexington]

There you go-sorry they were separate links. I’d recommend starting with darbian.

[@CleverPunYT]

At 33:48, I can see one of those memes where at the peak of the scream, they just disappear.

[@Donsanity]

1:06:05 Although Team Reznor and Team Boom Boom were able to pause at good spots at the same time it's kinda sucks cuz it can be a huge pace breaker.

[@altrogeruvah]

I gotta be honest: I wish they raced on SNES's All-Stars. Great race nonetheless, amazing comeback by Team Birdo around the second half!

[@AndyGaskin]

This was great

[@thomasalvarenga2839]

I would like to see a New Super Mario Series relay race.

[@warmCabin]

42:10 Oh the bitter, bitter irony...Mario is no longer a plumber.

[@Carlitonsp1]

1:27:35 I have never seen that glitch happen before.

[@juliapereira4310]

2:25:17 Best super mario 2 ending ever!!!

[@Xorthis]

32:35 because I like intros...

[@MichaelBond]

Haha, Poo has no respect for that fish. 1:36:11

[@CoAndCoLaptopAccount]

33:11 for those wondering

[@Other_Kev]

Damn Darbian!

[@GreatNess199X]

Why is Giygas taking over Team Birdo's Mario 2?

[@J0ey1424]

AGDQ, the home of inside jokes,

[@navethebraveLoLchat]

Good thing this is SGDQ

[@J0ey1424]

AGDQ / SGDQ same inside jokes, different season.

[@genericname458]

shady4091 stop finding way of getting offended and enjoy the damn thing

[@farhanrafee9316]

Inside jokes can be annoying. But I still pretty much enjoy the run. If it gets too much, I just turn off the volume ;)

[@ConalRF]

~When he would really prefer it if you would be quiet.~

[@markkup4633]

Awesome

[@kiancavella]

No surprise super mario world 2 was such a success in agdq, that game got game of the year for the last 10 years according to some youtuber

[@GerryStuff]

- more dungey bimeos -

[@MalformedGravy]

1:14:13 KOBE

[@phantomspaceman]

That guy in the middle stops breathing for the entirety of the smb3 run.

[@renz5878]

I only came for the interview with bloody XD

[@anthonet6690]

Puro caposss 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@mag1cally569]

"the frog suit is the closest suit to a frog they have in the game"

[@foxfalcowolf1989]

You rock Poo!!!!!!

[@ElianeSantos-hu8oh]

32:29

[@Joltinjoe183]

It's a me MARIO!

[@auellaitaela8035]

The way those cheers turned to absolute silence as soon as they mentioned that huge donation came from Notch lol

[@thefinster7278]

Great run! However the audio becomes desinced at about 2 hours in.

[@jonsquirrel3661]

Super Mario 4 Life!!!!

[@MyComputerSucks2]

does anyone know which game the winners made the losers play?

[@GothicPurple]

2:16:14 RIP

[@ExNihiloComesNothing]

Purple Thunder he choke heard round the world

[@Simon0]

I have a hammer suit in real life. I enjoy throwing hammers at my neighbours when they're relaxing in the garden.

[@WypsotorNyloff]

2:04:08 watch poo there

[@xJorgeitor]

I hope this get to GDQ: In my personal opinion, whenever a player finishes a game you should stop his/her timer and wait for the others to finish it and whenever the next game starts, all the runners would start their respective games at the same time so you can appreciate who did better of the 3 for every game. And if you still want to know which team is ahead, you could put a little total timer under every team. In that way you can enjoy the whole thing as a race and each game as its own race. Anyways, thanks for this amazing event!

[@Krokodilius]

VIDEO ARMAGEDDON

[@HolyFlare484]

2:00:41 Notch coming in clutch

[@Kreuzing]

When he said OK Google at 1:43:55 my phone thought I said it

[@jamesmccoy151]

Please someone explain to me this kill the animals save the animals thing. I really don’t get it

[@mothman56]

One of the donation incentives that year was whether the runner for Super Metroid should let the animals die (which takes less time) or save them during the ending.

[@MrCab55]

It's a usual donation poll for whether to save the animals at the end of Super Metroid, or leave them on the exploding planet.

[@Humblemumble7]

Could some awesome person tell me which color is which person?

[@svtrussia2698]

DogSi Notpalc Green=Reznor Blue=Boom Boom Red=Birdo

[@Humblemumble7]

Thanks so much for that! Damn cool of you, I really appreciate that you went out of your way to help.

[@Humblemumble7]

Thanks again, just to make sure I have the screens right: *So that's* *Reznor- Top Left* *Boom - Top Right* and *Birdo - Bot Left?*

[@bwmc1112]

DogSi Notpalc Yeah that's right

[@Humblemumble7]

BWMC 111- Okay, great! Thank you so much!

[@SquallyCoin5664]

Any reason why they didn’t use Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World? Just wonderin’

[@MrCab55]

Mostly preference for the originals. There are very minor differences (SMB1 piranha plant hit boxes, SMB3 camera position).

[@rafaelbsanto]

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM

[@bwen18]

What are the Mario games included in this relay?

[@MrCab55]

Super Mario Bros. (the original), Super Mario Bros. 2 (US), Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels, Super Mario World

[@thegreatperu9332]

This was epic, can we get a Dark Souls relay next AGDQ?

[@thegreatperu9332]

and we can do the metroid block in relay form. super to prime. the day long relay

[@PlanetAfterlife]

Its a shame big jon wasnt on this relay dominating lost levels

[@emekoo1027]

If Poo kept his Hammer suit, team birdo might have won.

[@MrCab55]

We all lost a little time. 7-2 haunts me to this day

[@k-leb4671]

1:44:38 "So...which levels do you think are going to make the biggest difference heading into this final part of the relay?" "...There's a few stages throughout this run that are gonna make the difference, but I think this is going to be extremely close..." Well...that was a pointless exchange.

[@MrCab55]

Welcome to sports interviews, where nobody throws anyone under the bus

[@domain119_]

1:58:25 music you ok?

[@whotio7374]

yo it's so weird hearing BJW. Those are my initials haha

[@alecsjoholm3970]

1:51:45 Scrabble expert here. AUTHORBLUE would score exactly as many points as AUTHORBLUES: zero points, because both are nonwords.

[@jdramirezelmo]

I got weird question: Why would they play the JP version of SMW? Maybe GDQ are out of copies of US SMW...

[@MrCab55]

Saves a few seconds every time the game saves

[@spiraldownn]

Who did you guys root for throughout the run? I was Team Boom Boom all the way!

[@riahlexington]

Team birdi-darbian was on it.

[@aznflipguy647]

Does the blue commentator dude not like the red commentator dude or something? Their chemistry sucked :\

[@aznflipguy647]

Oh I see :) thanks for the reply!

[@pejnismiggle]

Boss Bass? wtf is that, it's Big Bertha...

[@affonsotlb]

why these music note on the names?

[@affonsotlb]

ty

[@HasHollow]

what about super mario galaxy

[@matthewbrantner8121]

wow the guy running lost levels for team reznor needs to get guuud

[@antontron9983]

2 Chainz announcer really

[@SleepinGriffin]

Americans love Mario. Just look at the crowd.

[@spamaccount6460]

One of the commentators sounds like Eric Warheim so everything he says sounds sarcastic to me.

[@ahzazz]

Team Choke....

[@NorkNork]

blue commentator keeps interrupting and talking over the other commentators. when someone dares to keep talking after he's interrupted them, he just gets louder until they let him speak
