Mario 64 Record Speedrun by Suigi Considered "Unbeatable"

Super Mario 64 speedrunning has reached new heights, thanks to speedrunner Suigi's unparalleled achievement. He now holds all five major speedrunning world records for the game, a feat considered virtually unbeatable. Let's delve into this monumental accomplishment.

Speedrunner Dominates Super Mario 64 Speedrunning

An Unprecedented Triumph

The Super Mario 64 speedrunning community is buzzing with excitement and admiration for Suigi's incredible achievement. By claiming the top spot in the highly competitive 70 Star category, Suigi has become the first person to simultaneously hold world records across all five main Super Mario 64 speedrunning categories. This is a landmark achievement, widely regarded as potentially unmatched.

Suigi's winning run, showcased on his YouTube channel GreenSuigi, clocked in at an impressive 46 minutes and 26 seconds. This time narrowly beat Japanese speedrunner ikori_o by a mere two seconds – a testament to the extreme precision required in speedrunning.

Speedrunning commentator and YouTuber Summoning Salt celebrated Suigi's win on Twitter (X), calling it an "unbelievable achievement." Salt highlighted the diverse skill sets needed for each category (120 Star, 70 Star, 16 Star, 1 Star, and 0 Star), ranging from short runs of 6-7 minutes to the longest, exceeding 1 hour 30 minutes. The ability to dominate all five categories, especially given the intense competition, is truly remarkable.

Salt further emphasized Suigi's significant lead in most categories, stating that no other runner comes close to his times. His 16 Star record, considered the most prestigious category, set over a year ago, still holds a staggering six-second lead.

A Contender for Greatest Speedrunner of All Time

Suigi's accomplishment has sparked widespread praise within the Super Mario 64 community. Many, including Summoning Salt, consider him a strong contender for the title of the game's greatest player ever.

While legendary runners like Cheese and Akki dominated specific categories, Suigi's unparalleled dominance across all five major categories, with no significant rivals in sight, firmly places him among the greatest speedrunners in history.

The overwhelmingly positive community response is noteworthy. Fans celebrate Suigi's dedication and skill, contrasting this with other speedrunning communities, where such dominance can be perceived as a threat. The Super Mario 64 community, however, views Suigi's achievement as a testament to the game's enduring challenge and the exceptional talent it attracts. The community's support reflects the collaborative spirit that defines this vibrant speedrunning scene.
