Suigi's Mario 64 Speedrun Record Deemed Unbeatable

Super Mario 64's speedrunning scene has reached a new pinnacle, thanks to the phenomenal achievements of speedrunner Suigi, who now holds all five major speedrunning titles for the game. This unprecedented feat has left the community in awe and has sparked discussions about the future of Super Mario 64 speedrunning.

Speedrunner Claims All Major Mario 64 Speedrunning Titles

"An Unbelievable Achievement"

The Super Mario 64 speedrunning community is buzzing with excitement and admiration as Suigi secures the top position in the highly competitive 70 Star category. This victory marks Suigi as the first player ever to hold world records in all five major categories simultaneously, a milestone many believe is unmatched and possibly unbeatable.

Suigi's record-breaking run, showcased on his YouTube channel GreenSuigi, achieved a time of 46 minutes and 26 seconds, edging out Japanese speedrunner ikori_o by a mere two seconds. In the meticulous world of speedrunning, where every millisecond is crucial, this margin is significant.

Speedrunning historian and popular YouTuber Summoning Salt took to Twitter (X) to celebrate Suigi's accomplishment, describing it as “an unbelievable achievement.” He elaborated on the feat, saying, “The five categories are 120 Star, 70 Star, 16 Star, 1 Star, and 0 Star. They require very different skillsets—the shorter ones are only 6–7 minutes long, while the longest is over 1 hour 30 minutes. Being able to hold all five despite heavy competition is unbelievable.”

Summoning Salt further emphasized the magnitude of Suigi's dominance, noting, “Not only does Suigi hold all five, but he holds most by a huge margin. Nobody else can even get close to some of these.” He highlighted Suigi’s 16 Star record, set over a year ago, which still leads by an impressive six-second margin.

In the Running to be The Best Speedrunner of All Time

The impact of Suigi’s achievement resonates deeply within the Super Mario 64 community, with many, including Summoning Salt, heralding him as potentially the greatest player the game has ever seen.

In his detailed thread, Summoning Salt compared Suigi to legendary speedrunners like Cheese and Akki, who dominated individual categories such as 120 Star and 16 Star, respectively. However, Suigi's unique accomplishment of holding all five major records simultaneously, with no significant challengers on the horizon, positions him as a contender for one of the greatest speedrunners in history.

The overwhelmingly positive response from the community underscores the admiration for Suigi's dedication and skill. Unlike other speedrunning scenes, such as those for racing games where dominance by one individual can be seen as a threat, the Super Mario 64 community celebrates Suigi's achievement. This reaction highlights the collaborative spirit that defines this beloved segment of speedrunning, showcasing the enduring challenge and talent the game attracts.
