pannenkoek2012

American Super Mario 64 analyst and YouTuber

Scott Buchanan,[1][2][3] known as pannenkoek2012, often shortened to pannenkoek, is a YouTuber who plays Super Mario 64. Pannenkoek2012 is known for making videos about how Super Mario 64 works. He beats levels of the game with challenges like not using certain buttons or the joystick. He is best known for the "A-Button Challenge", which aims to beat the game without using the A button. The A-button is used for jumping, so this is very difficult to do.[1]
