In a heartwarming turn of events, Peanut Butter, a Shiba Inu, emerged victorious in a game of Ken Griffey Jr. Presents MLB at this year’s Summer Games Done Quick. With the assistance of his owner, Peanut Butter achieved this feat in a truly remarkable fashion.
If you’re not familiar with Peanut Butter, he belongs to speedrunner JSR_ and is renowned for playing NES games like Gyromite using a unique control system that involves treat incentives provided by his human companion. It’s quite impressive.
At this year’s SGDQ, Peanut Butter took on the challenge of playing the 1994 NES classic Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball, aiming to secure a victory as Griffey’s Seattle Mariners – inadvertently adding a quirky footnote to baseball history.
In a tense match against the Minnesota Twins, Peanut Butter faced an early deficit but managed to stage a comeback by tying the game in the sixth inning, narrowly avoiding a softlock along the way.
The game extended into extra innings, and in the twelfth inning, with the score tied at three, Peanut Butter, playing as Ken Griffey Jr., hit a walk-off home run, securing a 5-3 win for the Mariners. The crowd erupted in excitement at this unexpected turn of events.
This game-winning moment was celebrated by all, with JSR_ expressing his pride in Peanut Butter’s achievement. It was truly a memorable and joyous occasion for both of them.
