Originally Published 2 years ago — by Ars Technica
A Shiba Inu named Peanut Butter made history by performing a 30-minute speedrun of the 1985 NES game Gyromite at Awesome Games Done Quick 2024, using a custom controller. Trained by speedrunner JSR_, Peanut Butter didn't set a world record but finished the game under its estimate, receiving treats and prompting barks for the stream's viewers. JSR_ adopted Peanut Butter during the pandemic and spent years training him to press and hold buttons for treats, showcasing the dog's intelligence and speedrunning potential.
