Super Planet Dolan's format is Q&A, but the main Planet Dolan channel is a "Countdown" format channel. He used to do countdowns across multiple channels but later admitted the multiple channels were too much and scaled it back. Countdowns are done on the main channel, the gaming channel isn't doing countdowns anymore and instead it's an occasional LP styled video of the real life Dolan (I forget his real name) doing something like a Pokemon Nuzlocke or a challenge in World of Warcraft (WoW videos are actually how he got his start on YouTube), and Super Planet Dolan does animated Q&As. His "movie" centered channel was completely abandoned when he decided to scale things back.

Dolan is the main host but he has multiple people that host with him on both channels. One video on the SPD channel lacked Dolan completely and instead it was Cr1tikal and Shima, another was Hellbent and Shima, and sometimes instead of Shima it's Dolan and Melissa (who's represented as a cute bird girl).
