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
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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!
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
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.

Mitch: only smiles. What a fun run to watch.
Absolutely fantastic, both runs. Thank you so much for closing out AGDQ2023 in style.

And nice to the staff!

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 :)
Mitch the goat, always a genuine pleasure to watch 🐐
Another Amazing GDQ great job Tech people and runners and everybody that runs GDQ cant wait for SGDQ 2023!
Great run.....Greetings from Trinidad and Tobago
I needed more mitchflowerpower in my life
Mitch, always a great time watching you on AGDQ. Congratulations on the run !
Great to see a new take on the run with the hammer manipulation, great run
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.
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
Thanks for bringing us the joy of smb3 everytime again! Great runner, even better event! Looking forward to watch the documentary
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!
Really great run got me into this game again
I’m so excited to watch this, Mitch has always been one of my top 3 speed runners. History in the making every time 💆🏻♂️
Mitch is so entertaining. Excellent run!
Bravo, 'Liked' exactly at 13:00.1. Love what GDQ does and congrats to Mitch. Cheers.
Way to go Mike, a decade plus of such magic, and the ENTIRE community... well done everyone! Superb!
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.
Mario runs are always fun to watch! Gg mitch
Great run and great job this GDQ
What a wonderful finale
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!
I'm not crying. It's rain
Amazing to see the wrong warp first try!
Such an incredible run by an amazing runner, shame I missed it live.
Mitch always manages to be so entertaining! Great run as always!

I thought that was amazing too.
Great run! 👏🏼
Great run! Sad for the hammer suit though
MFP is such a great runner. Haxor did a wonderful job of commentating too. Terrific camaraderie!
What an ending. Amazing
What a treat
I now finally understand Terminal Montage.
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!
Nice run! Cheers ^_^
The GOAT delivers again! Great run, Mitch!
Always love seeing a mitchflowerpower run!
incredible run and ending. couldn't think of a better closer than MFP! keep it up.
Oh that's such a fun run. SMB3 can be frustrating difficult, but great to see such a fun and positive run.
Great run I had fun
That gameplay was nothing short of beautiful
Perfect timing
Mitch seems like he would be a great best friend.
The man himself.
Love AGDQ!!
legit style
The random number generation in this run is amazing. After all these years, humanity is still finding ways to optimize Super Mario Bros. 3.
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
Mitch knocked it out of the park!
19:57 the music in the background had perfect timing 😎
Great watch!
The man. The Mitch. The legend.
Go Mitch
Super Mario Bros. 3 is literally the golden standard for what a video game can be.
51:40 Mitch hit the sun so hard he sent it back in time.
Speedrunning masterclass
An amazing ending for the event!
The benefit of Mitch playing at home instead of live is that he doesn't have to worry about the infamous PooStomp.
Haxor, Mitch and Sky…it’s like Batman, Robin, and Batgirl - your call on who is really Batman 😂
These speedrunners are superhuman!
I don't even know if i ever picked up a hammer suit in my life. We always skipped that world :-o
That look at the camera on first hands.
Awesome run
Great event as always
an instant classic. And also mitch has to be a national treasure
Let's go mitchflowerpower!!!
Love me some MFP. Good stuff mate. Good run.
great run!
the man mitch himself running mario 3, good times
I thought they were doing these live again?
I feel like drawing a Mario 3 pic, Frog Mario in Water Land😂
We'll miss ya, Mike. Don't be a stranger.
Challenge idea: every time Mario dies, Grandpoobear has to kick you Nes. :P
I was this old when I noticed there is a tanooki tail in the 3 in the title screen.
charisma stat off the charts
😭 The end of gdq events always makes me feel like the Lil green dude at the end of
"Just For Laughs"
Let’s go firepower for the win
Good run
Nothing like killing a hammer bros with a hammer.
Dat Rainbow Road at 23:20
I love all the GDQ's. But when are things getting back to the large crowds and live play? I think it's time.
nice play
The game runs better without a GrandPooBear to stomp on it, heh ? :D
Those were two great runs, and an equally great commentary !
Really disappointed that this wasn't an in person event like years past.
Let's go MFP!!!!! That 2nd world thooooo
LETS GO!!!
i was today years old when i learned there was a hammer suit.
gotta go fast
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.
I’m surprised he skipped getting the third warp whistle
