This is the greatest run I've ever seen at a GDQ. Combines great gaming, with a hype crowd. I wish every game could be like this, but of course it's special to dram. poo's honesty at the end is amazing.

I love how nonchalant you were about all of your mistakes You set a great example man 👍👍👍

"No pressure but I have a one hundred dollar donation that will double if you get this jump." **PSYCHOLOGICAL FRAME SLOWDOWN ACTIVATE**

3:12 Run Starts

Announcer: "___ who just says less than 3" (

I like to think that at the bottom of every SMW pit, there's a pile of discarded Yoshis

All AGDQ runs should be like this: casual, rambunctious, and fun

That speech at the end...teared me up it did.

It figures a mole would be the first death.

If it is a Mario Maker level, it is just a troll. If it is a rom hack, it's a masterpeace.

14:04 While most of the crowd are cheering, Poo and the couch guys are pissed because Poo missed the Mushroom Skip 😂

Panga is one sadistic bastard. Mario Maker is just enabling him.

This has been the best run of the event. Thank you Poo

All it says is less than three. "I think thats a heart" lol!!! I was dying

Skip 36:46 - 38:33 if you don't wanna cry. That was more intense than the run.

I love Poo's casual "that's a heart, I believe" at 30:50 :P

This is a very good run . A clear example of how to interact between the game and the audience

This was such a fun run. Who cares if it wasn't a world record? You made the run just as exciting as a WR run.

Poo and Carl are honestly two of the best runners. Both have great personalities, all whilst having such a grasp of their respective games, respectful but also willing to be cheeky. Plus, that bromance. So good. Thanks for the great run!

So great when the player, commentators and crowd are into a game. Greatly improves the speed run enjoyment factor.

Awesome run :) I love how light you kept it and how much you engaged the crowd. Keep it up! :D

Love how much personality you bring to a hard, live run like this. Wish more people could commentate live like you can.

Poo, that speech... chokes me up every time I watch it. Congrats on the run, you did awesome. Fun to watch, and lots of energy throughout. If you keep playing, we'll keep watching.

I never thought that I would cry while watching one of your videos. Awesome run Poobear.

Aw man Poo. Not only do I enjoy watching your streams but you are a scarily good entertainer. I always appreciate runners who not only talk but joke around as they run, but you take that to the next level showing how much you care about the event and how much you can have fun with what you do. You perfectly capture what this event is about: Speedrunning, charity and fun.

49:38 Poo notices the envelope of marbles we slipped under his butt while he was sitting down :D

Poo, you are such an awesome person and YOU have become an inspiration for a lot of people including me. Watching your videos has become a part of my daily routine, and I always love your positivity as well as your moments of rage. Keep up the awesome work man! Also, Marbles Marbles Marbles Marbles Marbles

Guys so glad i watched this. The runner has such energy and got everyone so hype that it was really fun to watch. also the emotion showing how great the gaming community can support each other really got to me. awesome run and great work GDQ!

Absolutely one of the highlights of this AGDQ. Really enjoyed watching it live.

This run was one of the nicest and funniest i saw. Good job man, I felt so much passion watching

I unfortunately missed it live but watched the whole thing after. Awesome to see you, panga, mitch, and dode! good job poo~

the dire dire dock music in the beginning sank me back in my chair for this

Poo you're awesome man! You bring so much positivity to the room! Keep being you!

Absolutely loved all of this, Poo, went to a great cause and was an incredibly heartfelt speech at the end, then Dode with the sub-10 on star. I've only recently started to watch Mario games and you are one of the most polarizing people I have seen play, just have much love for you man

I greatly enjoy your Speedruns, Poo. You do a lot to inspire gamers to improve their skill set!

Amazing job! Such a pleasure to watch. I finally got mario maker and after 3 marathon playing sessions I have a whole new level of appreciation for what you can do. Keep crushing it.

Spectacular interaction with everyone, awesome run, absolutely loved it!

At first, I really didn't intend on watching the entire video, now its 4 : 30am and I've accidentally finished it, I just couldn't help myself. Fantastic job.

Super Mario World is one of my favorite games of all time and it’s great to see how many different versions have been created over the years because of the overwhelming love that people have for the game, Super Mario Forever!

Way to go Poo. We're all really proud of you, keep kicking butt! Thanks for all the entertainment, and thanks for letting us all be part of something that means so much to you. ^_^

That was amazing! Loved the run and the community seems awesome. Totally didn't know this romhack existed!

No matter how many times I've watched you set new WRs in games, this is always the run I come back to. This was the one that got me into Mario streamers/KZfaqrs.

So first it was Poo doing a run, so I was like, this video is about to be hella dope, and then I heard Proto and I was like this about to be an EXTRA hella dope run. My two favorite runners in one video? Damnnnnn. And then I saw the couch and I was like DAAAMMNNNNNN and then I saw the run and I said damn again slightly more enthusiastically. It just went like that through the whole video. Great run, Poo.

Good one Poo, really well run and very entertaining. One of my favorite runs this year

That was so badass. I really love the emotional outpouring at the end too.

You have the best personality. Been watching you off and on about year and you are always stoked, even when you are getting Mario bodied.

First time seeing one if your runs and have to see youre a very interesting fellow x). Subbed and will definitely be checking out some more of your runs. "yeah yeah clap that was good" was one of my favorite parts

not only is PooBear a badass speed runner, he's always a sweetheart hahaha

I normally don't watch Poo, but if he had this kind of energy in his vids all the time I'd definitely watch.

Just rewatched this and I still love it so much

I 'less than three' this.

I just looked it up, and AGDQ's 2017 speedruns brought in more than 2 million dollars. What an incredible community this is, showing that gamers can break their stigmas and do what they love for a great cause. :')

Poo, just wanted to say I love your stream, don't usually have time to watch you live, but I love watching your videos whether here or on Twitch! Thanks for the entertainment! Keep up the awesome content!

Loved the video. Your speech was beautiful. Keep up the great work.

His speech at the start encouraging having fun and enjoying yourself really made me feel happy.

Poo, how bad did you have that reset itch? lol

Great speech at the end man. Those few simple words could save so many lives... Great run!

Glad those are uploaded, because the most interesting runs are always during the night...

Sadly missed this when it was live. Happy your uploaded it

Poo you are awesome dude, as a person and speed runner

33 is a REALLY great time dude! I'm so happy for you Poo!

Why didn't I see this earlier? Awesome run! Keep up the good work :D

I've watched this 10+ times and here I am once again.. Such good times :)

Helluva run man, Congrats dude!

You make it look so easy. I played for the first time and took me 2 hours just to get past the very first pit. Stupid hidden blocks. good on you and thanks for supporting a great cause

I can't believe I sat here and watched the whole video. It was like watching an action movie with lots of flitching!

I've recently got into speed running. Haven't found what I want to dedicate my time to yet. But the more I watch you just playing Mario Maker makes me more interested. Just purchased it due to you, Carl, and Ryu. Working through Kaizo College and hopefully will be able to be able to play at this level if not speedrunning. This was an awesome run and enjoyed just seeing a group of friends having fun. Keep it up.

My mouth dropped open and Awe and Shock at this entire clip.......there is No way I'd be able to do any of these tricks... I don't even have the words to describe it! ^_^!

Great run with good vibes man, it was awesome watching it, GJ!

Enjoying this video for the second time:)

Awesome job Poo! Unfortunately, I missed the live run, but you knocked it out of the park. Feelin' the

Damn you poobear...I wasn't thinking I was gonna tear up. I too was in a bad accident about a year and a half ago, hit by a drunk driver. Rolled my truck 7 times, I was actually dead. The emts threw a hail Mary and after coming back from the dead, I went out again. They got me back again, lost me again and finally got me back for good. And I get what you mean about feeling lost. Nothing I used to enjoy makes me happy anymore. I went back to my job that I used to love but now I just don't enjoy it. I'm trying to remember how to be happy, but it's not there. I really appreciate the speedrunning community, and all the fundraising you guys do for good causes.

Poo, I normally don't comment on videos but the mini speech you said after your running, it was fantastic...and also you really appreciate people's donation and you keep a great atmosphere among people, by far this was the best run this year at AGDQ keep it up, this 2017 is all yours.

ur such a good sport man love your mentality about the game, good shit

I subbed because of your honesty speech, really great dude. Great run btw

Wait, Poo has legs?!

Wow, this is super chilled out. I love it.

That was an awesome run, Pooh. Love you, man.

Watching this again in 2022- holy cow hacks have changed so much. What's really cool is how much every runner contributed just by giving each hack exposure, which has contributed to what we have now, either in inspiring creators or becoming creators themselves. My other takeaway from this video is holy shit, we used to be young. Like, it's crazy to think of a time where hacks didn't use custom music or have crazy gimmicks- that the difficulty came from the placement of kaizo blocks, forcing a more uncomfortable jump, or even a double shell jump as being a "really hard trick" when you see every Mario player doing them consistently both in hacks and in Mario maker daily. It's pretty incredible that the community has come so far.

This is an inspiration

Good job man. I'd probably not even make it past the opening. (First time here, definitely gotta check out your other videos)

You sir have earned yourself another subscriber.

The fact that this video started off with dire dire docks playing 😩😍🙌🏾

I watched Grand POOBear's fail, salt and rage compilation, and it was him training for this run. Very well done that u failed MUCH less.

Hey Poo! I unfortunately missed the entirety of AGDQ and didn't have a chance to watch any of the runs live. I just now found time to start catching up, and your run had to be the first thing I watched. This was very, very impressive and just a ton of fun to watch. Not only was this a fantastic run of a difficult hack (played with the pressure of a live audience, no less!), but you made it a fun experience for those of us watching (that goes for everyone on the couch, too!). This run and your general attitude exemplifies what I think makes the speedrunning community great - while it can be seen as competitive (who can get the best times), it's more of a collaborative effort, finding new paths or strats and sharing them to make everyone better. Even more than that, it's a great bonding experience, having a great time working with friends doing something you love. I really liked how you tried to show that to the audience, pausing to show them something cool, explaining how another runner found a faster route, or taking an intentional death to highlight Panga's sadistic qualities. Overall this was just really fun to watch, and I could tell you guys were having a great time. I keep missing the boat on attending any of these events, but I'd really like to show up and hang out more with the community. Hopefully soon I'll get the chance. :)

One of the best runs ever at a GDQ

you seemed nervous at the start but soon warmed up great run and Biblethump at your speech

Anyone els hear that "OH SHI" lucky he caught himself

Very well done :D i have to say i was looking forward for some mario maker races on AGDQ, sad when i found out there was non :/ hope we can get some for SGDQ cause they are awesome

Holy shit. This is Goddamn torture in video game form. Hats off to you, Grand.

Just checked the leaderboard, saw that you now have the 100% record. Gratz!

amazing job to you both, was a great watch

My boy poo :) such an awesome run!

I really hate the earlier GDQ's where the announcer just read donations randomly and doesn't ask if they have time so awkward so often

nice run. touching speech at the end too. keep it up!

you killed it POO congrats from your follower elysianpaladin!

damn i love you PooBear! my fave streamer and a super rad dude! The couch is banging bro.. cant wait to see the end of this run :)

Hi Poo, about you asking for players for harder levels. Can you make a video of your controller when you do the shell jumps etc. so I know what buttons to push and in what order. Thx.

Thanks I missed the live cast. Also very cool to find out that there is a dram. I had no idea.

Under an hour, not too bad! Great cause and an awesome run :)
