Speedrunner Dominates Super Mario 64 Speedrunning

An Unprecedented Feat

The Super Mario 64 speedrunning community is buzzing after Suigi achieved the unthinkable: simultaneously holding the world records for all five major categories. This is a feat considered unparalleled and possibly unrepeatable.

Suigi's record-breaking 70 Star run, clocking in at 46 minutes and 26 seconds, beat ikori_o by a mere two seconds – a testament to the extreme precision of this competitive scene.

Speedrunning commentator Summoning Salt celebrated Suigi's accomplishment on Twitter (X), calling it "an unbelievable achievement." Salt highlighted the diverse skill sets required for each category (120 Star, 70 Star, 16 Star, 1 Star, and 0 Star), ranging from runs lasting under 7 minutes to those exceeding 1 hour 30 minutes. The sheer dominance across all categories is what makes Suigi's achievement so extraordinary. Salt emphasized Suigi's substantial lead in most categories, particularly his 16 Star record, which remains unbeaten by an impressive six seconds after over a year.

A Contender for Greatest of All Time?

Suigi's accomplishment has sparked widespread discussion within the Super Mario 64 community, with many hailing him as potentially the greatest player the game has ever seen. While legends like Cheese and Akki dominated specific categories, Suigi's complete domination across all five major categories, with no immediate challengers, solidifies his position as a top contender for the title of greatest speedrunner ever.

Remarkably, the community's response has been overwhelmingly positive. Unlike some speedrunning communities where such dominance might be met with attempts to dethrone the top player, Suigi's achievement is celebrated as a testament to the game's enduring challenge and the exceptional skill of its players. This positive response showcases the collaborative and supportive spirit within the Super Mario 64 speedrunning community.
