Super mario 64 Speed Run

[vintagegamecrazy]

man that was hard to even watch it was so intense, Dang how did he do that backwards run?

[shalashaska]

I've only been able to do the jump on Peach's slide once, after about 50 tries, and he did it twice in a row.

Truly amazing! I am somewhat confused though. I thought you had to have 70 stars to fight bowser at the end, am I wrong or did this guy do something to bypass that?
Also, how the hell do you do that backward stars thing?
I thought I was pretty good at this game, but compared to this guy I am nothing.

[Muscelli]

pssh I could probably do that

[Streetball 21]

Wow! That was fun to watch. Some of the stuff he did I didn't even know was possible. This guy is automatically a legend in my book!

[tholly]

wow....that was an amazing movie to watch...im very very impressed

If I remember correctly, he somehow jumped through the door at the stairway area to get up there. When I was watching, I remembered seeing a message pop up, and he bypassed it and went right up the stairway doing the backwards jump thing.

Damn excellent video, and very impressive.

That was GREAT! Anybody have the link to the guy that beats smb2 in 10 min?

Damn, some of these speedruns are UNREAL! Of course the time attacks aren't real at all, but those speedruns....wow.

I would guess that the speedrun was a compilation of a bunch of the fastest times he could get on levels, spliced together on the save screens. If I recall correctly, SMB3's speed run was like that.

Not that it makes it any less impressive, but I really doubt that was one guy going straight for 20 minutes. If it was... even more wow!

[Cmosfm]

That....was....

Even if it was using savestates, it's still the most amazing thing I've ever seen, even more so than the SMB3 speedrun.

[Famidrive-16]

How do you view the movie? It won't work for me.

Anyone have a saveable version?

[RetroYoungen]

Holy CRAP. I honestly thought it would never be done anywhere near that fast. That's just an incredible vid, the jumping is perfect, the reflexes are perfect, he's even fast as hell getting all of those red coins! Very commendable!

What's next for this player though? Hopefully he has some kind of access to a social life, because perfecting this had to have taken a LONG time. He can afford to actually breathe air outdoors now...

[Dimitri]

Though these Mario runs could look more impressive with tool assistance, they're far more amazing than tool-assisted runs considering they're not using savestates or rerecording or anything like that. Simply incredible, really.

Linked below is the most impressive speed run I've ever seen... Tool-assisted, of course, but absolutely mindblowing to watch.

I certainly do say. Thanks!

I think publishers should try to get their hands on these things and promote them. Nothing makes me want to play Super Mario 64 *more* than seeing videos of people just totally mastering the game.

(I'm downloading the full 70 star version, and a Super Mario World run too, just for kicks. For whatever reason, nothing interests me more than Mario related runs at this point. Not even Zelda runs do).

[ShinobiMan]

THAT was pretty amazing! Anyone know if this time has been beaten yet? Awesome video. Thanks!

The whole jumping through walls glitch threw me for a loop.
