New Mario Speedrun start dropped, that’s pretty big news for Mario 64 120 star runs.

    So that’s it, I’ve lived to see carpetless as a viable non-TAS strategy. That’s crazy.

    Man, as someone who knows nothing about super Mario 64 or speed running, that was dope to watch. I watched the whole thing and it was a blast.

    This is the only speed running I keep fairly current on, I’m going to watch it right now. Carpetless WHAT! Thanks

    What I wouldn’t give to have even a tenth of the free time it would take to figure out which fucking frame you have to do this or that. I don’t follow or know anything about speed running or whatever but I just watched this whole video, and this is serious skill. How the hell are people figuring these things out?

      They’re mostly teenagers/living with parents. That’s pretty much all it takes to have unlimited free time

    Hearing him pronounce Krithalith in a serious context multiple times was great

    Born too late to explore the planet, born too early to explore the galaxy, born at just the right time to see the pinnacle of SM64 speed running…
