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. This article explores the feat and its impact on the speedrunning community.

Speedrunner Dominates Super Mario 64 Speedrunning

An Unprecedented Achievement

The Super Mario 64 speedrunning community is buzzing after speedrunner Suigi achieved the unthinkable: simultaneously holding world records for all five major categories. This is a first in the game's history, a feat many consider unparalleled and perhaps impossible to repeat.

Suigi's record-breaking 70-Star run, posted on his YouTube channel GreenSuigi, clocked in at 46 minutes and 26 seconds, beating Japanese speedrunner ikori_o by a mere two seconds—a monumental difference in the high-stakes world of speedrunning.

Speedrunning commentator and YouTuber Summoning Salt celebrated 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 runs lasting just 6-7 minutes to those exceeding 1 hour 30 minutes. The sheer dominance across all categories is what makes Suigi's achievement so remarkable.

Salt emphasized Suigi's significant lead in most categories, noting that no other runner comes close. His 16-Star record, considered the most prestigious, set over a year ago, still holds a remarkable six-second advantage.

A Contender for Greatest Speedrunner of All Time

Suigi's accomplishment has ignited discussions within the Super Mario 64 community, with many, including Summoning Salt, considering him a strong candidate for the title of the game's greatest player ever.

While legendary speedrunners like Cheese and Akki excelled in specific categories (120 Star and 16 Star, respectively), Suigi's unmatched dominance across all five major categories, with no immediate challengers, elevates his status to potentially one of the greatest speedrunners of all time.

The overwhelmingly positive community response is equally noteworthy. Unlike some speedrunning communities where a single player's dominance can be viewed as a threat, Suigi's achievement is celebrated as a testament to the game's enduring challenge and the exceptional skill of its players. The community's reaction underscores the collaborative spirit within the Super Mario 64 speedrunning scene.
