Mario 64 Speedrun Record Shattered by Unstoppable Suigi

Super Mario 64 speedrunning has reached new heights, with one player dominating all major categories. Let's explore this remarkable achievement and its impact on the speedrunning community.

Speedrunner Suigi Achieves Unprecedented Dominance

An Unrivaled Accomplishment

The Super Mario 64 speedrunning world is buzzing with excitement as Suigi has accomplished the seemingly impossible. By claiming the top spot in the 70-Star category, Suigi is the first ever to simultaneously hold world records across all five major Super Mario 64 speedrunning categories. This feat is widely considered unparalleled and potentially unbeatable.

Suigi's winning run, showcased on his YouTube channel GreenSuigi, clocked in at an astonishing 46 minutes and 26 seconds. This victory narrowly beat Japanese speedrunner ikori_o by a mere two seconds – a testament to the extreme precision demanded in this competitive arena.

Speedrunning commentator and YouTuber Summoning Salt celebrated Suigi's achievement 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 short 6-7 minute runs to the challenging 1 hour 30 minute 120 Star run. Suigi's dominance across all categories is truly exceptional.

Salt emphasized Suigi's significant lead in most categories, particularly his 16-Star record, set over a year ago and still holding a commanding six-second advantage.

A Contender for Greatest Speedrunner of All Time

The Super Mario 64 community is hailing Suigi as potentially the greatest player the game has ever seen. While legends like Cheese and Akki excelled in specific categories, Suigi's simultaneous mastery across all five major categories, with no immediate rivals, solidifies his place among the all-time speedrunning greats.

The community's overwhelmingly positive response is noteworthy. Unlike some speedrunning communities where dominance can 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 showcases the collaborative spirit within the Super Mario 64 speedrunning community.
