Gatorbox Plus is the secondary channel to Gatorbox where long-form content that doesn't mesh with the rest of the stream's content is posted. It is also the channel that hosts all of the vertically-oriented "Shorts" videos created from clips of memorable moments from the show.
Plus was officially launched in 2023, however the channel has a much earlier registration date on YouTube because it was created using the existing Gatorbox Speedruns channel which had fallen into disuse. This gradually happened as the weekly Gatorbox &CHILL streams began to focus on more on completing longer games instead of doing speedruns, which Draco felt better matched the variety of content he wanted to create citing speedrunning as being "too repetitious" for casual viewing. For the purposes of maintaining historical records on websites such as Speedrun.com Draco made all of the speedrun videos on the channel "unlisted" so they could still be viewed from that website and then rebranded the entire channel. (On rare occasions, new speedruns are still uploaded to this channel however they are automatically categorized as unlisted posts.)
The name "Gatorbox Plus" is meant to be a joke at the expense of premium streaming services such as Disney+ and Paramount+. Unlike the services being referenced, the channel's name does not use a "+" symbol because special characters are commonly disallowed in usernames and URL's and Draco wanted the typography of the channel's name and address to match.
The first upload to Gatorbox Plus was a 100% playthrough of Pokemon Blue followed by a special playlist consisting of glitch exhibitions and explorations in the game.
