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.

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.
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!
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 :)
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
+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.
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!
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.

Much appreciated!
Sam Krygsheld thank you cause I wanted to know if they were playing 2 or Lost, but they play both 💕💕
Thank you!
Every couple of months, I come back and re-watch this segment. One of my favorites of all GDQs easily.
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.
Great sportsmenship on display with the other runners waiting for the graphics fix. Wooo
Too many crazy tricks to even call them all out. It's wild how close this was over nearly 3 hours.
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!
I miss the Mario Maker races
This
kirua such a beast...also that hammer bro lost from Poo really hurt :(
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 :)
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!
Wow, that's worth watching all they way through. Incredible.
2 death 20:25 for Kosmic is unbelievable.
Dude is the best in the world

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

Props to Svenne for playing through that.
thank you!
Really, hats off to you sir.
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.
Indeed. He's the man
And he did pull off some of the best swag.
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!
Gg to all the runners, you did an amazing job
was a fantastic race
watch and find out. :)
I can't understand so good, I said
02:16:11 Worst choke of the entire run. RIP Poobear
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.
He had one job
What about Aweglib at 1:21:56
Unfortunate but not a show stopper. Can happen.
Kirua dying un auto scroller
Awesome run idea! Great commentators too.
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.
this was on my b-day
thanks this was a amazing gift too enjoy
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.
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.
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.
At least Poo didnt stomp for the hammer suit
WE LOVE YOU GRAND POOBEAR!!!
Marbles Marbles Marbles Marbles Marbles
the order is smb1 then smb2 and then smb3 then smb lost levels then smw

authorblues: In my experience that's true.
Was a great show! /Svenne
Why did I find myself so badly wanting Team Birdo to win? What an amazing race.
Probably because darbian was captain!
Thank you for your support. Sorry about 7-2 😢
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
i can't believe i watched the whole run!
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..
He performed-he did a clip lol. Still impressive even with deaths. Lost levels is hard.
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.
Was an awesome Race.
Please more of that it was amazing!
Gotta love that sportmanship at the end :)
Oh yes
Such an amazing set of runs. Very impressive.
This was really fun to watch. Perhaps a Zelda relay race next year? PLEASE?!?!
Jermafide I'd love to see New Super Mario Bros. series relay race.
This IsThe Craziest Speedrun I Have Ever Seen
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.
There you go-sorry they were separate links. I’d recommend starting with darbian.
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!
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
- more dungey bimeos -
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.

This was great
AGDQ, the home of inside jokes,
Good thing this is SGDQ
AGDQ / SGDQ same inside jokes, different season.
shady4091 stop finding way of getting offended and enjoy the damn thing
Inside jokes can be annoying. But I still pretty much enjoy the run. If it gets too much, I just turn off the volume ;)
~When he would really prefer it if you would be quiet.~
Why is Giygas taking over Team Birdo's Mario 2?
42:10 Oh the bitter, bitter irony...Mario is no longer a plumber.
I would like to see a New Super Mario Series relay race.
At 33:48, I can see one of those memes where at the peak of the scream, they just disappear.
2:25:17 Best super mario 2 ending ever!!!
I only came for the interview with bloody XD
That guy in the middle stops breathing for the entirety of the smb3 run.
Haha, Poo has no respect for that fish. 1:36:11
You rock Poo!!!!!!
Damn Darbian!
32:35 because I like intros...
Awesome
Great run! However the audio becomes desinced at about 2 hours in.
Super Mario 4 Life!!!!
The way those cheers turned to absolute silence as soon as they mentioned that huge donation came from Notch lol
Puro caposss 👏👏👏👏👏👏
It's a me MARIO!
33:11 for those wondering
1:27:35
I have never seen that glitch happen before.

If Poo kept his Hammer suit, team birdo might have won.
We all lost a little time. 7-2 haunts me to this day
When he said OK Google at 1:43:55 my phone thought I said it
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.
"the frog suit is the closest suit to a frog they have in the game"
I have a hammer suit in real life. I enjoy throwing hammers at my neighbours when they're relaxing in the garden.
Its a shame big jon wasnt on this relay dominating lost levels
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM
does anyone know which game the winners made the losers play?
This was epic, can we get a Dark Souls relay next AGDQ?
and we can do the metroid block in relay form. super to prime. the day long relay
1:14:13 KOBE
Any reason why they didn’t use Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World? Just wonderin’
Mostly preference for the originals. There are very minor differences (SMB1 piranha plant hit boxes, SMB3 camera position).
what about super mario galaxy
2:04:08 watch poo there
wow the guy running lost levels for team reznor needs to get guuud
Americans love Mario. Just look at the crowd.
yo it's so weird hearing BJW. Those are my initials haha
Please someone explain to me this kill the animals save the animals thing. I really don’t get it
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.
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.
Could some awesome person tell me which color is which person?
DogSi Notpalc
Green=Reznor
Blue=Boom Boom
Red=Birdo
Thanks so much for that! Damn cool of you, I really appreciate that you went out of your way to help.
Thanks again, just to make sure I have the screens right:
*So that's*
*Reznor- Top Left*
*Boom - Top Right*
and
*Birdo - Bot Left?*
DogSi Notpalc Yeah that's right
BWMC 111- Okay, great! Thank you so much!
Boss Bass? wtf is that, it's Big Bertha...
What are the Mario games included in this relay?
Super Mario Bros. (the original), Super Mario Bros. 2 (US), Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels, Super Mario World
Team Choke....
Does the blue commentator dude not like the red commentator dude or something? Their chemistry sucked :\
Oh I see :) thanks for the reply!
Who else came for Darbian?
2 Chainz announcer really
2:00:41 Notch coming in clutch
One of the commentators sounds like Eric Warheim so everything he says sounds sarcastic to me.
Who did you guys root for throughout the run? I was Team Boom Boom all the way!
Team birdi-darbian was on it.
2:16:14 RIP
Purple Thunder he choke heard round the world
hope nobody reads me, so...miedax is freaking hot
32:29
You had one job poo
I got weird question: Why would they play the JP version of SMW? Maybe GDQ are out of copies of US SMW...
Saves a few seconds every time the game saves
1:58:25 music you ok?
why these music note on the names?
ty
