Mario 64 World Record Broken: Is Suigi Unstoppable?

Speedrunner Suigi Achieves Unprecedented Dominance in Super Mario 64

Super Mario 64 speedrunning has reached a new zenith. Speedrunner Suigi has claimed all five major speedrunning world records simultaneously, a feat described as "unbelievable" and potentially unbeatable. This monumental achievement sees Suigi topping the leaderboards across the 70 Star, 120 Star, 16 Star, 1 Star, and 0 Star categories – requiring vastly different skill sets and strategies.

Suigi's 70-Star run, a blistering 46 minutes and 26 seconds, narrowly beat ikori_o's time by a mere two seconds, highlighting the intense precision demanded by this discipline. This victory, detailed on Suigi's YouTube channel (GreenSuigi), adds to his already dominant position in the other categories. His 16-Star record, considered the most prestigious, stands unmatched, holding a staggering six-second lead set over a year ago.

Prominent speedrunning commentator and YouTuber Summoning Salt lauded Suigi's accomplishment on Twitter (X), emphasizing the extraordinary breadth of skill needed to conquer all five categories. Salt highlighted Suigi's substantial lead in most categories, stating that no other competitor comes close.

The impact of Suigi's achievement resonates deeply within the Super Mario 64 community. Many believe Suigi's unparalleled dominance positions him as one of the greatest speedrunners of all time, surpassing even legendary players like Cheese and Akki, who excelled in individual categories.

Unlike other 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 difficulty and the exceptional talent within its speedrunning community. The positive reception underscores the collaborative and supportive spirit within this particular corner of the speedrunning world. Suigi's victory is not seen as a threat, but as a remarkable triumph of skill and dedication.
