Mario 64 Record Speedrun by Suigi Considered \"Unbeatable\"

Super Mario 64 speedrunning has reached new heights, thanks to a single player holding all five major speedrunning world records. Discover how this unprecedented achievement has captivated the speedrunning community.

Speedrunner Dominates Super Mario 64 Speedrunning

An Unparalleled Achievement

The Super Mario 64 speedrunning community is buzzing with excitement over speedrunner Suigi's monumental accomplishment. By claiming the top spot in the highly competitive "70 Star" category, Suigi is now 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 impossible to replicate.

Suigi's record-breaking run, showcased on his YouTube channel GreenSuigi, finished in an astounding 46 minutes and 26 seconds. This victory narrowly defeated Japanese speedrunner ikori_o by a mere two seconds—a testament to the intense precision required in speedrunning.

Speedrunning commentator and YouTuber Summoning Salt celebrated Suigi's triumph on Twitter (X), calling it "an unbelievable achievement." Salt highlighted the diverse skill sets needed 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 a grueling 1 hour 30 minute challenge. The ability to dominate all five categories, especially given the intense competition, is truly remarkable.

Salt further emphasized Suigi's commanding lead in most categories, noting that no other runner comes close to his times. His 16 Star record, a particularly prestigious category, stands as a testament to his skill, holding the top spot for over a year with a six-second advantage.

A Contender for Greatest Speedrunner of All Time

Suigi's achievement has ignited a debate within the Super Mario 64 community, with many, including Summoning Salt, considering him a potential GOAT (Greatest Of All Time).

While legendary speedrunners like Cheese and Akki excelled in specific categories (120 Star and 16 Star respectively), Suigi's unprecedented domination across all five major categories, with no significant challengers on the horizon, solidifies his claim as one of history's greatest speedrunners.

The overwhelmingly positive community response is equally noteworthy. Fans celebrate Suigi's dedication and skill, contrasting sharply with other speedrunning communities (like racing games) where such dominance often breeds rivalry and attempts to dethrone the top player. The Super Mario 64 community, however, views Suigi's achievement as a celebration of the game's enduring challenge and the exceptional talent it attracts. The widespread support underscores the collaborative spirit within this vibrant corner of the speedrunning world.
