This has to be the best AGDQ run in recent memory. Amazing run, entertaining commentary, audience participation. Brings me back to how wholesome the runs were when it first started.
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!
Great game. Amazing run. DELIGHTFUL commentary. When I clicked this video, I had no idea I was in for the most entertaining and wholesome speedrun I'd ever watched.
Same for me, but daaaamn I'm glad I've finally watched it. That speedrun just shows how awesome the gaming community is. Everyone has a great time, while they support such a great cause. I'm really proud to be a part of that community.
me too, I enjoy watching people put in effort to a community that is generally looked down on by older people. I am proud to be a part of this community.
Watching that donation total climb like that live near the end and everyone cheering like crazy was easily my favorite GDQ moment ever. Hope there's another moment like that at SGDQ
Honestly might be my fave speedrun - just the energy of the crowd, the casual convo about how to do X moves, the easy banter of the Couch... the MOOOOOOOOONs and claps from everyone. It's just so much fun to watch and enjoy, and all for a great cause :D
i started watching this at 5am and just finished. this is probably the most hype run i've ever watched, and it was totally worth every minute of watching
Odyssey is one of my favorite games ever, I love Bayleef, this was such a good run, amazing commentary, the audience participated more than I've ever seen before, and of course, the DONATE TRAIN This is peak GDQ
When they hit that 2 mil mark I nearly broke down crying I've lost soo many family members to cancer and just seeing that number go so high to help stop it is amazing
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 ❤️
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.
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
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.
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.
I still have yet to see a 100% speedrun for this game. I've seen Any%, World Peace (all main quests completed), Dark Side, Darker Side...but never a 100% run.
watching all these speed runs are really great, my mom earns too little to buy me any video games since i was a kid so these speed runs fells like I'm playing through it myself. I'm really grateful for the upload.
Love the variety on this list! RPG's, visual novels, 3-D platforms, racing games. Pretty awesome! My list is pretty eclectic as well, and consists of a lot of DS games as well as a few Indies sprinkled in there. 1. A short hike 2. Paper Mario TTYD 3. Breath of the wild 4. Steamworld dig 2 5. Ori and the Will of the wisps 6. Kid Icarus uprising 7. Professor Layton and the unwound future 8. The Minish Cap 9. The world ends with you 10. Portal 2
HOLY SHIT THAT DONATION TRAIN! I wanted to see the bossrush from the whole beginning, but I had lost hope when it was so low compared to time. Then BOOM! SO MANY DONATIONS IN SUCH LITTLE TIME! $150 000 in 15 mins! I had to pause for a few moments to just comprehend what happened. Absolutely amazing. Good job everybody!! Also, MOOOOON!
Getting my wife who hasn't played video games to play through Mario 64 with me. Plan on going through some of the other mario games to can't wait to get to this one.
Now this is why Peach really fell for this red-capped plumber. Mario speed-runs through worlds with skillful and powerful stunts, smashing any enemy on his way. Anything he picks up on the way like Moons and coins are just the bare necessity for the ultimate goal of saving his Princess. Bravo!
Anyone else noticed how Mario doesn't wear any gloves when he's wearing the boxer shorts? Now we know what Mario looks like without any gloves on. Definitely looks wrong.
this takes me back to the days when the heart of the event mattered more than the technicalities and need to not offend twitch and i love every second of it.
I was one of the lucky ones who got to view this run live. Probably my favorite one of the marathon, tied with sonic the hedgehog 1. Bayleef, Spike, and Timp are such great personalities and put together make one of the greatest commentary teams ever. That $5 train towards the end was insane as well, raising over $125k in under 20 minutes, and meeting the boss rush incentive. Rewatching this run gave me that rush of “oh wow it’s going up so fast” and i really love it. Not to mention the amount of hype in the audience AND twitch chat when two million was hit. This might have been the greatest run in GDQ history (again, sonic was pretty cool too). The anime and clapping memes, the “lets go twitch chat” and “lets go bayleef” chants, the gameplay, the commentary, and the two million dollars & $5 train. Great run Bayleef! Thank you for this amazing experience, GDQ!!
Feels good to donate 6$ near the $2,000,000 mark. This is one of the greatest GDQ runs I have ever seen. The hype, the runner, the commentary, the game. PERFECTION!
If someone says speedrunning is stupid, show them this video. One of the best of them out there! The crowd is even more awesome than the runner, the commentators and the host! Orb! **clap**
Runner introduction starts at 0:11.
Run starts at 1:27.
JHobz moderates the debate between Sumichu and Sent at 3:40:44.

Bayleef: "You actually lose so much time that they finally release another good Paper Mario game."
Audience, Twitch Chat: OHHHHHH
WackoMcGoose time stamp for this? I want to see haha
What I'd do for a paper mario and paper mario 2 port on switch
Seems it'd make you lose so much time, you warp time itself, considering a good one just released 3 years ago.
-Color Splash was pretty good, c'mon.-

This has to be the best AGDQ run in recent memory. Amazing run, entertaining commentary, audience participation. Brings me back to how wholesome the runs were when it first started.
audience participation god i just had a Flashback of BubblesDelFuego run for batman Arkham City the crowd was just dead
The battleblock theater runs by pj and mecha are also totally awesome
hell yeah that's one of a epic run! Miss Carci tho, his last run was awesome.
@@aturchomicz821 honestly one of my favorite runs of all time. Mr. K at his finest
totally agree - this was so much fun!!
Audience: "MOOON!"
Obi-Wan: "That's no moon. That's a-"
Audience: "ORRRB!"
Thank you for this meme
@@olikasq wait... are you seriously asking at which point in this AGDQ run Obi-Wan Kenobi shows up?
Skip to 3:01:37 for 5$ donation train HYPE.
In my opinion the most amazing 15 minutes at this years AGDQ.
I wonder if that's a world record for most money raised in 15 minutes or so.
@@Swordsmasterguy $150,000 in 15 minutes...
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!
Twitch chat raised as much money in that 15 minutes as they did during the rest of the play through
The whole time I saw this part I just said to myself, we have to go, EVEN FURTHER BEYOND!
I've heard "moon" enough times to think Piccolo had the right idea.
Adilaris Gallant The moon was mocking him
you mean master roshi
DODGE
TFS Piccolo: "....MOOOOOOOOOOON"
Lol
Great game.
Amazing run.
DELIGHTFUL commentary.
When I clicked this video, I had no idea I was in for the most entertaining and wholesome speedrun I'd ever watched.

SpikeVegeta: God-Tier Commentator. I've never seen a run with him commentating that hasn't been entertaining
MusiKube true, him and JHobz are both excellent and i’m glad they’re on a lot of people’s couches
Really helps with getting the good vibes in the room
2:33:28 Thank you whoever started substituting MOOOOON with claps
OOOORB
*THATS A PLANET*
Of course a planet is not an orb. Planets are flat.
Earth is technically an orb.
Not sure if sarcasm or really a flat Earther...
@@Swordsmasterguy actually its a quote form the videa
In the Celeste run people starting saying orb whenever a red bubble was used. This was then extended to every other spherical object
this is the hypest speedrun I've ever seen and I enjoyed every second of it
revisiting after 3 years and it's still the hypest speedrun I've ever seen
To be a part of the climb to 2million was one of the hypest moments of GDQ i've ever seen. It was amazing. Well done everyone :D
Got a $500 donation in. Feels good
caught this live. Easily my favorite AGDQ stream/run ever.
@@Leewise1 ....did you watch it? So wholesome. good commentary. great runner. great people there. great host. it was just all so perfect.
@@Leewise1 the runner, the run, the commentator/the guy Talking most of the time, the crowd and everyone is just having a good time
@@tapeman8360 !i innn
My 4 year old son LOVES this run and asks to watch it all the time. Has learned a lot of tricks and constantly talks about Bayleef 😆. Well done.
wholesome
Watching that donation total climb like that live near the end and everyone cheering like crazy was easily my favorite GDQ moment ever. Hope there's another moment like that at SGDQ
WE HAVE THE POWER OF TWITCH CHAT AND ANIME ON OUR SIDE!
The push to 2m was one of the best things I've ever been part of on Twitch
*AAAAAAAAA*
I love this video, it’s super chill and weirdly cosy. I feel like I’m actually there hanging out and watching. Awesome stuff 😤
Honestly might be my fave speedrun - just the energy of the crowd, the casual convo about how to do X moves, the easy banter of the Couch... the MOOOOOOOOONs and claps from everyone. It's just so much fun to watch and enjoy, and all for a great cause :D
clapping starts at 2:32:35 :^)
spike notices it 1 min later
I applauded to the crowd just a bit.
2:29:23 it’s funny because a year later, people would discover a trick to go to the main place from this island.
0:00 Dark side Boss rush at 8161 out of 200K
twitch chat: challenge accepted
psuwhammy it’s more like “Hold my beer.”
Challenge... Accomplished
2:38:49 "You actually lose so much time, that they finally release another good Paper Mario game"
Thank goodness somebody brings attention to this X)
this aged like wine
@@arevin8432 nah, Origami King is easily 3rd best Mario RPG, not close. Great game.
Something I love about Odyssey is that I'm watching this run and I'm like "there was a moon THERE?" and now I'll prolly boot up the game and get some
So many times i went "You can do that? :O"
i started watching this at 5am and just finished. this is probably the most hype run i've ever watched, and it was totally worth every minute of watching
Talks about saving a 10th of a second
goes out of his way to get coins to buy boxers
Priorities
Odyssey is one of my favorite games ever, I love Bayleef, this was such a good run, amazing commentary, the audience participated more than I've ever seen before, and of course, the DONATE TRAIN
This is peak GDQ
What an incredible thing to watch live. So much fun! These are the sorts of things people love GDQ for.
I love how supportive the crowd is in every run at GDQ. No matter the game, the runner, none of it matters. People are just having fun.
When they hit that 2 mil mark I nearly broke down crying I've lost soo many family members to cancer and just seeing that number go so high to help stop it is amazing
Im glad to hear it.
I pray your familys in a better place
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 ❤️
The donation train around the 3 hour mark is one of my favorite moments in GDQ history
This run restored my faith in humanity. What a great watch!
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.
I really can't unsee Mario's jiggle physics on his nose
I think that’s been a thing for the Bros for a while... I remember Luigi having that in Brawl’s subspace emissary
When I first noticed it I had a good laugh about it. That was over a year and about three dozen playthroughs ago.
It was also in Luigi's Mansion
Also does Mario's nose count as an orb?
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
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.
This was the best three hours I’ve had all week. What great run of a great game for a great cause!
Just for the record, the other bosses DO have re-fight paintings but they're scattered through the Mushroom Kingdom stage for anyone looking for them.
2:45:11
Bayleef: "Arby's?"
Audience: "We have the meats!"
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.
> Bayleef gets ~500 moons in ~3:21:00
> I get 821 moons in over 100 hours...
Not trying to "show off" btw.
I still have yet to see a 100% speedrun for this game. I've seen Any%, World Peace (all main quests completed), Dark Side, Darker Side...but never a 100% run.
@@MetalSmasherGaming www.speedrun.com/smo#100 All of the on-record ones have a video available.
@@MetalSmasherGaming 100% is boring, tons of coin farming to buy all the clothes.
@@MetalSmasherGaming 100% has 2 and a half hours of coin grinding. All Unique Moons is a much better category.
MetalSmasherGaming timpani runs 100%
Shoutouts to Bayleef for recognizing Wooded Kingdom as having the best song in the game.
Best kingdom theme. Honeylune ridge escape is the best song
after watching this for like 4 nights and 3 and a half hours, I have decided I am in love with Bayleef and Spike .... and maybe Timpani
I think this is the first time I've been rendered speechless from a GDQ. That finale was unreal.
日本人としてこうしてたくさんの人が日本のゲームを知ってもらっていることがとても光栄です。
Disappointed that the audience didn't constantly shout Moon at 43:40
Love watching these late at night when I dont know what to do
The best AGDQ run I have ever seen!
3:15:00 : The donation counter.
4 seconds per moon at 500 moons = 33 MINUTES of staring at mario frozen in the air reaching for a moon...
Yea, it's really bad...
In any%, the player spends 20 out of 57 Minutes watching some sort of cutscene.
By far the best/most entertaining speedrun I've ever seen
Awesome run, good commentary, very entertaining, easily one of the best gdq runs I've seen.
I love when the crowd went "Moon" and "Star" whenever Bayleef get them!
This run of Odyssey was an awe to see!
An awedyseey?
I think that was the pun
*P U N S*
Hands down best run this year !
So happy that GDQ keeps coming back again and again.
Thanks a lot for this event guys !
By far the best run. Bayleef , the couch, the spectators, all getting the chat involved to be one of the best endings of GDQ!
Definitely one of the best gdq speed runs I've ever seen
watching all these speed runs are really great, my mom earns too little to buy me any video games since i was a kid so these speed runs fells like I'm playing through it myself. I'm really grateful for the upload.
I love playing this game casually and your run blew my mind! Very well done dude!
There should be a setting to skip all the "You got a moon" animations
I love spike so much. Every time he is commentary the video is so good.
Watching this during pandemic times, especially the 15 minutes at hour 3 of the run... I so miss in-person GDQs.
Love the dude screaming "NUT" at 22:06 :D
Love this game, this run, this couch, this runner, this commentary, and this event ❤
Love the variety on this list! RPG's, visual novels, 3-D platforms, racing games. Pretty awesome!
My list is pretty eclectic as well, and consists of a lot of DS games as well as a few Indies sprinkled in there.

Good job everybody!! Also, MOOOOON!
I think my favorite part is 2:33:29 when everyone claps and Spike comments on it. So killer. I've watched this like 20 times.
Getting my wife who hasn't played video games to play through Mario 64 with me. Plan on going through some of the other mario games to can't wait to get to this one.
I wasn't able to enjoy this game casually, but watching speedruns of it is much more fun!
I'm so proud of this community.
Now this is why Peach really fell for this red-capped plumber. Mario speed-runs through worlds with skillful and powerful stunts, smashing any enemy on his way. Anything he picks up on the way like Moons and coins are just the bare necessity for the ultimate goal of saving his Princess. Bravo!

3:14:50
‘Running out of time’
I wonder if he planned that.
Anyone else noticed how Mario doesn't wear any gloves when he's wearing the boxer shorts? Now we know what Mario looks like without any gloves on. Definitely looks wrong.
Is it bad that I didn't even think about the fact that Mario wears gloves until I read this?
@@emilybennett7864 it's just one of those facts that you know but don't think about
Bayleef needs to do more runs; he seems down to earth and easygoing. Love this guy
this takes me back to the days when the heart of the event mattered more than the technicalities and need to not offend twitch and i love every second of it.
The synchronized clap on moon gets is my favorite audience bit in any run ever
I really love the Speedruns when the player explains some stuff about the game and what they are doing! Really entertaining
I was one of the lucky ones who got to view this run live. Probably my favorite one of the marathon, tied with sonic the hedgehog 1. Bayleef, Spike, and Timp are such great personalities and put together make one of the greatest commentary teams ever. That $5 train towards the end was insane as well, raising over $125k in under 20 minutes, and meeting the boss rush incentive. Rewatching this run gave me that rush of “oh wow it’s going up so fast” and i really love it. Not to mention the amount of hype in the audience AND twitch chat when two million was hit. This might have been the greatest run in GDQ history (again, sonic was pretty cool too). The anime and clapping memes, the “lets go twitch chat” and “lets go bayleef” chants, the gameplay, the commentary, and the two million dollars & $5 train. Great run Bayleef! Thank you for this amazing experience, GDQ!!
Challenge: skip randomly to any part of the video whose first few frames isn’t a “you got a moon!” animation
Spike has always been such a hype commentator.
Oh my gosh one of my fav speed runs of all time! Thank you so much AGDQ
Great couch commentary for this run!
Spike is fantastic. Never heard a better commentary from anyone. Great crowd interaction and whit too.
That was by far the most entertaining run I've ever watched!
Timer stopped from something like 2:21:00 til 2:25:00
2:26:50 it's fixed, crowd cheers, Spike asks what happened and someone in the background says "The timer was broke but we fixed it."
This run by itself raised 300,000 + dollars holy moley what a great run and what a great great charity function.
What an absolute amazing finish to the run and great commentary and audience
Feels good to donate 6$ near the $2,000,000 mark. This is one of the greatest GDQ runs I have ever seen. The hype, the runner, the commentary, the game. PERFECTION!
Such a great run! I haven't felt that level of hype in a very long time! Thanks to Bayleef and the couch for making the run incredibly enjoyable!
they did over 100 games in this GDQ, and in this Super Mario odyssey run alone they made about 300,000 dollars. Amazing job.
I forgot I had this game. Well time to go back and beat it so I can watch this.
Nevermind. Maybe this video will give me a reason to beat it.
Holy cow I wish I could have been able to stay up late to witness that last half hour live, gosh dang does the VOD not do justice to the hype
I was on the edge on my seat the whole time that money counter skyrocketed, it was incredible.
"shoutouts to grandPOObear"
I died
Having spike on the couch really adds a nice dimension to this run. Spike has so much energy.
I didn’t know anyone shared my undying love for Bayleef (shiny tyrantrum is #2). I’ll have to look out for this guy more often
Best speedrun I've ever seen live.
This run was so smooth! I love it!
I want this guys on every couch! The left guy is killing the commentary!!!!
If someone says speedrunning is stupid, show them this video. One of the best of them out there! The crowd is even more awesome than the runner, the commentators and the host! Orb! **clap**
