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

Super Mario 64 speedrunning has reached a new peak, with one player holding all five major speedrunning world records. This article explores the achievement and its impact on the speedrunning community.

Speedrunner Suigi Achieves Unprecedented Dominance

An Unrivaled Achievement

The Super Mario 64 speedrunning community is buzzing after Suigi achieved the unthinkable: simultaneously holding world records for all five major categories. This feat—considered by many to be unparalleled and possibly never to be repeated—is a testament to his skill and dedication.

Suigi's record-breaking 70-Star run, clocking in at 46 minutes and 26 seconds, beat ikori_o's time by a mere two seconds—a monumental difference in the high-stakes world of speedrunning.

Speedrunning commentator Summoning Salt lauded Suigi's accomplishment on Twitter (X), calling it "an unbelievable achievement." Salt highlighted the diverse skill sets required for each category (120 Star, 70 Star, 16 Star, 1 Star, and 0 Star), ranging from runs lasting just minutes to those exceeding an hour and a half. Suigi's dominance extends beyond simply holding all five records; he leads in most by significant margins. His 16-Star record, in particular, set over a year ago, still holds a remarkable six-second lead.

A Contender for Greatest of All Time?

The Super Mario 64 community widely recognizes Suigi's achievement as potentially the greatest in the game's history. While legendary speedrunners like Cheese and Akki have dominated individual categories, Suigi's simultaneous hold on all five major records, with no significant competition in sight, places him among the greatest speedrunners ever.

The community's overwhelmingly positive reaction to Suigi's accomplishment is noteworthy. Unlike some speedrunning communities, where such dominance might be met with attempts to dethrone the top player, Suigi's achievement is celebrated as a testament to the game's enduring challenge and the exceptional skill of its players. The supportive response underscores the collaborative spirit within the Super Mario 64 speedrunning community.
