Super Mario 64 speedrunning has reached a new peak, with one player holding all five major speedrunning world records. Learn more about this incredible achievement and its impact on the speedrunning community.

Speedrunner Achieves Unprecedented Dominance in Super Mario 64

A Monumental Achievement

The Super Mario 64 speedrunning community is buzzing after speedrunner Suigi achieved the seemingly impossible: simultaneously holding world records for all five major categories. This unprecedented feat is considered by many to be unparalleled and potentially unbeatable.

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

Speedrunning commentator and YouTuber Summoning Salt lauded Suigi's accomplishment on Twitter (X), calling it "an unbelievable achievement." Salt highlighted the diverse skill sets required for each of the five categories (120 Star, 70 Star, 16 Star, 1 Star, and 0 Star), ranging from short 6-7 minute runs to the 1 hour 30 minute 120 Star challenge. The fact that Suigi dominates all five, often by significant margins, is truly remarkable. His 16 Star record, considered the most prestigious, still holds a staggering six-second lead after over a year.

A Contender for Greatest Speedrunner of All Time

Suigi's accomplishment has ignited a debate within the Super Mario 64 community, with many, including Summoning Salt, suggesting he might be the greatest player the game has ever seen. While legends like Cheese and Akki excelled in specific categories, Suigi's complete dominance across all five, with no immediate challengers, solidifies his claim as one of the greatest speedrunners in history.

The community's overwhelmingly positive response to Suigi's triumph stands in contrast to other speedrunning communities, where such dominance can sometimes be met with rivalry and attempts to dethrone the top player. In the Super Mario 64 community, however, Suigi's achievement is celebrated as a testament to the game's enduring difficulty and the exceptional skill of its players. The celebratory atmosphere highlights the collaborative and supportive spirit within this dedicated community.
