This is a biannual celebration where speedruns are held for twenty-four hours a day and donations are accepted for a charitable cause. In the case of this edition, it was to fight against cancer. <strong>And the peculiar thing is that one of the speedrunners we could see that day was named Peanut Butter and it was not a human being, but a cute dog<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With an adapted and assisted controller by its owner, who gave it commands to help it overcome the game, Peanut Butter managed to complete the B Game mode of Gyromite, a classic NES game, live, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=wwP5N44Lcd8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">in just 26 minutes and twenty-four seconds<\/a>.<strong> Although it achieved the world record for the fastest dog to complete the game, it is far from the record of the fastest human, which is 24 minutes and thirty-nine seconds<\/strong>.
