Allan Alvarez (born February 26, 1995), more commonly known as cheese (originally cheese05 until 2018), is a Venezuelan-born Trinidadian-Spanish speedrunner and podcaster known for his Super Mario 64 records.

Alvarez now describes his step-father as someone he can recognize as his real father and someone who has taught him in life how to be persistent and disciplined at whichever craft he wants to pursue.

[2] Alvarez is openly gay,[3] and he grew aware of the anti-gay culture in Trinidad and Tobago and felt he could not live his true life in the country.

He felt more inclined to live a city life and decided to move closer to his father's side of the family in Madrid, Spain.

Cheese held the world record time in Super Mario 64 120-star category from February 28, 2022, to November 18, 2022, when it was beaten by speedrunner Weegee.
