Amazing video!! Thank you again for bringing attention to the challenge with your initial video. I had a blast working on this project and I've learned many things. It took about a week of work.

At first, I thought this would be an extremely rare event. So my initial ambitious idea was to keep only the bare-bone logic of the dog race and run simulations in parallel on my GPU. I experimented with the recompilation project that came out around the same time, but I got overwhelmed quickly. So I went with the other, much slower idea that I had (Bizhawk simulations). I was happy and surprised that it only took three days to get a result. Sometimes, it's better to keep things simple.

If anyone is interested, all the code that I wrote for this project is available on my github. Blue dog is an inspiration for us all.

Love to see another blue speedster! Congrats, Blue Dog!

Blue Dog: "I looked into 1,083,414,090,350,592 possible universes."
"And in how many of them did you win?"
Blue Dog: "Two."

@SamLabbato

"it's ok, blue dog. we found a glitch so you can finally win"
"no... I wanna do it legit"

Now to find the race where the blue dog should have won but lost due to the glitch.

"Why don't you give up?"
Me having flashes of Blue Dog: Because he never did.

@potatoforged

I had no idea that blue dog even existed before clicking this video but I was so pumped to see him lock in at the end

@blackhat1018

That ending with the Blue Dog getting the 1st place ribbon...it's enough to make a grown man cry!

@jimbo_13

I had a friend in high school who insisted that he had the blue dog win. I'm sorry I didn't believe you, Matthew.

The possibility of a kid randomly winning the race with the blue dog and not thinking much about it is infinite.

@xdan0x

Blue Dog: 'Was I a good dog?'
Falkush: 'No. You were the best.'

@DoobusGoobus

Thinking about how entire decade long wars started and ended in the time it took for this lil dog to win a race.

@maho9139

blue dog after seeing he has a 1 in quadrillion chance of winning ''so youre telling me theres a chance?"

@billsfan444

Every dog has his day! 

For the blue dog it's once every 30,000 attempts with perfect conditions

@DragonSlayer2189

You could say it happens, once in a blue moon

Blue Dog was always my childhood favorite. I didn't even know the odds were so stacked against him because I always believed in him and just liked to see him run.

"And then, on the evening of August 25th 2024... Blue Dog got this run."

@Deku2424

Given the context of Majora’s Mask’s time loop, if Link took long enough then it’s not impossible that Blue Dog could canonically win.
