Thanks so much everyone! Lots of people put a lot of work into this so I'm glad everyone enjoyed the race! Huge shoutouts to Golden for his amazing job announcing, and all the level creators, players, level testers, hype crowd, people donating, audio people, and GDQ staff that made this another great event! It was a blast organizing this event once again, though it got a bit hectic at times xD Let me know if you have any comments or suggestions for next time! If we are invited back for AGDQ, the current consensus is to make the levels just a touch shorter/easier. We decided on having each team start each level together so that it would make the race more intense. For declaring a winner, with a strict point-based system, one team might win with several stages left to play, which might make those stages a bit less interesting since there's no hope of coming back. An alternative for declaring a winner might be to try something like giving a 5 second headstart on the final level for each level that team is ahead by. So if it's 7 wins to 3 wins, the team with 6 wins would have a 15 sec headstart on the final level (and we can make that one longer/more epic). Then whoever wins the final level is the winner. This would keep it hype to the end, but we'd have an actual winner declared.

Jordan (maker of Pit of Three Trials) here! Just popping in to say thanks so much to the guys at SGDQ and to everyone who watched and enjoyed this race. It was a blast to be a part of and I'm really glad so many people tuned in and donated! Thank you all! :D

Gotta give major props to everyone involved in this segment. Everyone was on point and made this among the most entertaining runs I've ever seen from any GDQ event.

Whoever this "Anonymous" guy is, we gotta give him so much props because he donates in nearly every agdq and sgdq. Thank you "Anonymous"!

Frickin Chronic's a monster

This was honestly my favorite part of this SGDQ. So many surprises, clutch wins, the comeback, and some really entertaining levels. I hope Mario Maker's around for years to come.

Chronic beat so many of those levels lol what a god

Run Start 04:37

I like the fact that they do each stage as an indivuidual point, instead of the total speedrun like they did last time. this way there is more suspence.

I think Chronic's back still hurts from all that carrying XD

streambig strats: rotate as fast as possible back to kronic

Kronicsauce is the god among men, can confirm

I recognise a rule change. Last time the race wasn't decided by points but by whoever beats all the levels first. Well, I'm not complaining, it helps concentrate ^^

Chronic wins the whole thing. Dude pulled off like half the toughest spots.

"This level is made by Dan Salvato" And a year later everybody knew who he was

I'm sad Dram didn't play this year.

It sucked that BigJon (GameJ06) couldn't make it because he was sick, he's like the most entertaining speedrunner of all. But the pure skills from KronicSauce just blew me away.

1:06:12 for the Waluigi donation. Love it... I mean, WAAAAAAAAA!

26:14 to go directly to the stages

26:15 That hammer was magnificent.

I'm loving the Waluigi hype during the wall jump segment rofl

The poor people who get these levels in 100 mario challenge.

Chronic was on fire the whole second half of this race.

begins at 4:40

I had to resist clapping and yelling OOOOH! because I didn't want to wake up my whole family.

Kronic is definitely the MVP here, his playing abilities are god-like.

"When I say hot you say pockets! Hot!" "Pockets!" "When I say WAH you say WAH! WAH!" "WAH"

New drinking game : Take a drink everytime you hear WAH

This is so good. Whoever came up with this is a genius. GDQ never disappoints.

Who is this Chronic guy and where can I see his videos?

I think this would be more interesting to watch if it was done as a series of blind races, elimination style... 8 racers, 7 stages...last racer to finish each stage is eliminated. Last man standing is your winner. Muscle memory building would be better since there wouldn't be rotations...plus easily scaleable...number of stages is number of racers - 1...

One of the best parts of SGDQ, it was so worth the wait. Also good to see Patty(Pcull44444) to fill in for Big Jon.

Way more entertaining than esports.

39:05 WAH~ WAH~ WAaaaaah~!

The ”audio Guy” switching between the games did a great job 👌

The audience in this video is a delight. I love it

Expecting a comment? Too bad, WALUIGI TIME!

Wait, why does Hot Pockets not have red coins in Dreamteam...?

this has rapidly rose to the most popular GDQ segment at events nowadays

The amount of people in the background is really cool to see

For those about to Google it, the song is "Yakety Sax", better known as the Benny Hill Theme

I wish this was an event at every GDQ. This was easily the most entertaining event and it's one I would never tire of seeing more of. . . if only they would make it a regular thing!

Great run, but why are the commentator suddenly all silent starting around 50:00? =P There were chatting so enthusiastically up to that point!

The fact it is exactly 1:20 makes me happy

Unfortunately I could not watch it live, but this is the best section of the SDGQ event! I could not wait to see this and am already looking forward to the AGDQ 2017 mario maker race!!!!

@6:44 *both teams getting slaughtered on the first level Commentator: "Carl, you made this level. What do you think of these guys playing it, so far?" Carl: *"I gave them arrows to follow; I don't know what the problem is."* Savage.

Holy...Chronic is a beast!

StreamBig are 63% winners, Hot Pockets are 36% winners, and everyone is 1% animal cruelty. This was so fun to watch, great job to everyone! :D

Chronic was like hold my beer and clutched out so many stages, holy sht

Chronic is a fucking beast lmao

I must've missed it. When did this Waluigi WAAH thing start?

I don't have MM, but I've been watching carl for a few months now and was told my a co-worker to watch this, and it was amazing! Well done to the teams and to the creators, and all those who supported behind the scenes!

can we get this crowd , this announcer and these guys and get one big Mario maker block that's a lot bigger seriously great to watch feels like an esport and would totally watch it as one

The single most fun and exciting speed-run I've ever seen!!!! Simply amazing!!!! Please do one each and every single year!!!!

Is it just on my end, or is the sound not synced with the video? Tried to watch the video on both my PS4 and on mobile, same problem on both.

Those Yoshi stages were brilliant :D Actually, all the stages were, but I really like the use of the Yoshis as they were seeking their revenge XD

The epic comeback on the fourth stage...holy cow.

Was going to post start time but battle introduction was so cool 😅

Sethbling's stage is actually entirely done with Command Blocks

These blind mario maker races are insanely entertaining!

Damn that was so damn good. Chronic was killing it.

Everyone involved in this run has all the respect from me in the world. Golden, who is an absolute amazing announcer and commentator for the segment. He's humorous and just all around has a great personality for that sort of thing. On top of that, kudos to the players and their respective teams. They had astounding communication among each other and that's important with stuff like this. On top of that, uh.. Chronic is a fucking legend. "Yo, if somebody doesn't get this, we're gonna have to call it a draw", and that was all it took for him to just completely shit on the other team and bring it home. I was glued to the screen the entire run, and I don't feel that way too often because often-times the run is something I've seen before in another, and I've grown bored by the time the fun even starts. I loved this run.

I remember being told by my mother to be quiet during this race, because the last SMM race I was so loud I woke my dad up. Who had to go to work in the morning. xD

Honestly how come they REJECTED Mario Maker Blind Race for the 2017 event!! What are they even thinking? This has been definetely the best part of the marathon, I was looking forward for the next one. Please AGDQ reconsider.

My mom came into my room while they were yelling “HOT POCKETS! HOT POCKETS!” And all she said was, “What the hell are you watching XD”

Run at: 26:00.

This is easily the best run this year just because of those Waluigi sound effects!

Can't wait for SGDQ 2017! HHHHHYYYYYPPPPPEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Double thumbs-up to the sound technicians. Couldn't have been easy swapping between the two groups so often.

58:50 literally just killing themselves to let chronic go

What a run, I wasn't expecting this level of hype when going into this video!

This is the most amazing part of SGDQ!!!!!

I never knew Super Mario Maker became a competitive game. THis is actually amazing to watch.

We need more of this on every GDQ make it happen guys haha

1:03:28 That was the turning point. Streambig.net won it right there.

They should make this part longer this year. I like the speed rungs, but this had me actually cheering. Chronic's got some seriously impressive skills. Some levels it seemed like he'd played them before.

The incremental is probably one of the most creative states ever uploaded.

I love just seeing happy little Carl watch people fail his level

Although this was a really fun part to see in SGDQ, I feel like the way they did it in AGDQ 2016 was more effective

At 28:39, how'd they get the mega mushrooms in smw style? Doesn't the style have to be SMB1 for that?

Carl Sagan FTW

Definitely one of the best runs of the marathon

New yearly 7 day event, Mario maker done quick, these races are awesome

Did Carl really make a GDQ level that ended with a "choose a pipe, then choose a door" section? Dammit, Carl! XD

Only at GDQ you'll hear a mob of grown men chanting hot pockets...

1:02:52 lol "how much time do we have? Alright cool i got you" what a clutch run

"Easiest game I've ever played." - Pcull444444

Someday I want to attend one of these live. Thank you for all that you do.

Golden at the end like "I didn't pick a stage" 😹

That crowd is impressive, what a lot of peeps.

21:52 Announcer starts explaining the event 26:18 Start!

Streambig -7 Hot Pockets -4... But everyone's a WINNER.

Are these levels uploaded? If yes, please add the level-code in the description. Want to play (and beat) some of the levels myself :)

Those two controllers have to be the sweatiest controllers in the world.

I love the voice oft the donation woman

A lot of love for Carl in the donations

This might be the most intense shit I've watched at GDQ

Take a shot every time a team changes = ultimate drinking challenge!

DAMN Kronic carried y'all so much his back broke!!
