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 spot in the highly competitive 70 Star category. This accomplishment marks Suigi as the first player to hold world records across all five major categories simultaneously: 120 Star, 70 Star, 16 Star, 1 Star, and 0 Star. Many within the community believe this feat may be unbeatable.

Suigi's latest record-setting run, shared on his YouTube channel GreenSuigi, clocked in at an astonishing 46 minutes and 26 seconds. This time edged out the previous record held by Japanese speedrunner ikori_o by a mere two seconds—a testament to the razor-thin margins that define speedrunning excellence.

Speedrunning historian and popular YouTuber Summoning Salt celebrated Suigi's achievement on Twitter (X), describing it as “an unbelievable achievement.” He elaborated on the significance of Suigi's dominance, stating, “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 highlighted that Suigi not only holds all five records but does so by significant margins. Notably, Suigi's 16 Star record, set over a year ago, still leads by a commanding six-second margin, underscoring his unparalleled skill.

In the Running to be The Best Speedrunner of All Time

The Super Mario 64 community is abuzz with praise for Suigi, with many considering him one of the greatest speedrunners the game has ever seen. Summoning Salt's celebratory thread on Twitter noted that while legendary speedrunners like Cheese and Akki have dominated individual categories, Suigi's simultaneous hold on all five major records positions him as a potential candidate for the title of the greatest speedrunner in history.

What stands out is the overwhelmingly positive reception to Suigi's achievement within the community. Fans have lauded his dedication and skill, contrasting this with other speedrunning scenes where a single person dominating all titles might be seen as a threat to competition. In the Super Mario 64 community, however, Suigi's feat is celebrated as a testament to the game's enduring challenge and the incredible talent it continues to attract. This respect and support underscore the collaborative spirit that defines this beloved corner of speedrunning.
