Super Mario Odyssey by Bayleef in  

Runner introduction starts at 0:11. Run starts at 1:27. JHobz moderates the debate between Sumichu and Sent at 3:40:44. Punchy is the host.

Bayleef: "You actually lose so much time that they finally release another good Paper Mario game." Audience, Twitch Chat: OHHHHHH

Audience: "MOOON!" Obi-Wan: "That's no moon. That's a-" Audience: "ORRRB!"

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.

Skip to 3:01:37 for 5$ donation train HYPE. In my opinion the most amazing 15 minutes at this years AGDQ.

I've heard "moon" enough times to think Piccolo had the right idea.

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

2:33:28 Thank you whoever started substituting MOOOOON with claps

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

caught this live. Easily my favorite AGDQ stream/run ever.

this is the hypest speedrun I've ever seen and I enjoyed every second of it

OOOORB *THATS A PLANET*

I love this video, it’s super chill and weirdly cosy. I feel like I’m actually there hanging out and watching. Awesome stuff 😤

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.

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 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.

2:29:23 it’s funny because a year later, people would discover a trick to go to the main place from this island.

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

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)

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

Talks about saving a 10th of a second goes out of his way to get coins to buy boxers

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

What an incredible thing to watch live. So much fun! These are the sorts of things people love GDQ for.

The donation train around the 3 hour mark is one of my favorite moments in GDQ history

WE HAVE THE POWER OF TWITCH CHAT AND ANIME ON OUR SIDE!

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.

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 ❤️

clapping starts at 2:32:35 :^) spike notices it 1 min later

0:00 Dark side Boss rush at 8161 out of 200K twitch chat: challenge accepted

This run restored my faith in humanity. What a great watch!

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

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.

I really can't unsee Mario's jiggle physics on his nose

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

2:45:11 Bayleef: "Arby's?" Audience: "We have the meats!"

This was the best three hours I’ve had all week. What great run of a great game for a great cause!

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.

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

Love watching these late at night when I dont know what to do

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 love when the crowd went "Moon" and "Star" whenever Bayleef get them!

Shoutouts to Bayleef for recognizing Wooded Kingdom as having the best song in the game.

4 seconds per moon at 500 moons = 33 MINUTES of staring at mario frozen in the air reaching for a moon...

I think this is the first time I've been rendered speechless from a GDQ. That finale was unreal.

> Bayleef gets ~500 moons in ~3:21:00 > I get 821 moons in over 100 hours... Not trying to "show off" btw.

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.

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.

Hands down best run this year ! So happy that GDQ keeps coming back again and again. Thanks a lot for this event guys !

Awesome run, good commentary, very entertaining, easily one of the best gdq runs I've seen.

3:15:00 : The donation counter.

This run of Odyssey was an awe to see!

By far the best run. Bayleef , the couch, the spectators, all getting the chat involved to be one of the best endings of GDQ!

The best AGDQ run I have ever seen!

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.

There should be a setting to skip all the "You got a moon" animations

2:36:08 "I blame Spike for that one" Thanks crowd XD

Love the dude screaming "NUT" at 22:06 :D

Definitely one of the best gdq speed runs I've ever seen

I love spike so much. Every time he is commentary the video is so good.

Spike has always been such a hype commentator.

The synchronized clap on moon gets is my favorite audience bit in any run ever

I love playing this game casually and your run blew my mind! Very well done dude!

I wasn't able to enjoy this game casually, but watching speedruns of it is much more fun!

Watching this during pandemic times, especially the 15 minutes at hour 3 of the run... I so miss in-person GDQs.

By far the best/most entertaining speedrun I've ever seen

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!

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!

Bayleef needs to do more runs; he seems down to earth and easygoing. Love this guy

Disappointed that the audience didn't constantly shout Moon at 43:40

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。

I'm so proud of this community.

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.

Challenge: skip randomly to any part of the video whose first few frames isn’t a “you got a moon!” animation

I DIDNT EVEN REALIZE WHAT I WAS WATCHING UNTIL I LOOKED AT THE SCREEN

This run by itself raised 300,000 + dollars holy moley what a great run and what a great great charity function.

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

they did over 100 games in this GDQ, and in this Super Mario odyssey run alone they made about 300,000 dollars. Amazing job.

First run I've ever seen where I was genuinely scared to blink in fear of missing something.

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!

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!

This one is the one I've been waiting for, thank you :)

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

"shoutouts to grandPOObear" I died

Love this game, this run, this couch, this runner, this commentary, and this event ❤

It's always really cool when a runner talks while doing a run. Hell, I have trouble tying my shoelaces and keeping up a conversation at the same time.

3:14:50 ‘Running out of time’ I wonder if he planned that.

Having spike on the couch really adds a nice dimension to this run. Spike has so much energy.

*Bayleef makes Mario jump* Man on the couch: “Beautiful play” *claps*

@34:20 : leaning forward when shit gets serious is basicly the essence of gaming 😂

Oh my gosh one of my fav speed runs of all time! Thank you so much AGDQ

Great couch commentary for this run!

We attempted to speedrun this during band tour. We did an all nighter and passed the controller after each boss fight. We started at about 5am and we feel asleep in the middle of the sand kingdom. We had to get out of bed an hour later.

Love this run! Such a fun experience! It’s probably a pipe dream at this point, considering how much more diverse in games GDQ has gotten over the years, but I think it would just be incredible to have one gigantic Mario block with every Mario game ever made. It would probably last 2-3 days, but the entire franchise is just the epitome of fun. I keep thinking about the epic Mario block they did at SGDQ 2014 and wonder if we’ll ever get something like that again

Best speedrun I've ever seen live.

I really love the Speedruns when the player explains some stuff about the game and what they are doing! Really entertaining

HOW?! 😨 How can he do this?! *And while talking* no less. Amazing!

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!!

That was by far the most entertaining run I've ever watched!
