Unbeatable? Luigi's Insane Mario 64 Speedrun

Super Mario 64 speedrunning has reached new heights, thanks to speedrunner Suigi's incredible achievement. He now holds all five major speedrunning titles for the game, a feat considered by many to be unbeatable.

Speedrunner Suigi Claims All Major Mario 64 Speedrunning Titles

An Unbelievable Achievement

The Super Mario 64 speedrunning community is buzzing with excitement and admiration. Renowned speedrunner Suigi has accomplished the seemingly impossible: simultaneously holding world records across all five major categories – 120 Star, 70 Star, 16 Star, 1 Star, and 0 Star. This is an unprecedented milestone, a first in the game's history, and one many believe may never be replicated.

Suigi's record-breaking 70 Star run, showcased on his YouTube channel GreenSuigi, finished in an astounding 46 minutes and 26 seconds, beating Japanese speedrunner ikori_o by a mere two seconds. In the world of speedrunning, where precision is paramount, this tiny margin represents a monumental achievement.

Speedrunning historian and YouTuber Summoning Salt celebrated Suigi's accomplishment on Twitter (X) with a detailed thread, calling it "an unbelievable achievement." Salt explained the incredible breadth of Suigi's accomplishment: "These categories require vastly different skill sets. The shorter runs are only 6-7 minutes, while the longest is over 1 hour 30 minutes. To hold all five, despite fierce competition, is simply unbelievable."

Salt further highlighted Suigi's dominance, emphasizing that Suigi not only holds all five records, but holds most by significant margins. He specifically noted Suigi's 16 Star record, considered the most prestigious category, which he set over a year ago and still leads by an impressive six seconds.

A Contender for Greatest Speedrunner of All Time

Suigi's accomplishment has resonated deeply within the Super Mario 64 community. Many, including Summoning Salt, are hailing him as potentially the greatest player the game has ever seen. While legends like Cheese and Akki dominated individual categories, Suigi's simultaneous hold on all five major records, with no significant challengers on the horizon, elevates him to a truly exceptional level, potentially placing him among the greatest speedrunners in history.

What's equally remarkable is the overwhelmingly positive community response. Fans are celebrating Suigi's dedication and skill, contrasting sharply with other speedrunning communities (like those for racing games) where such dominance sometimes creates friction. The Super Mario 64 community's enthusiastic celebration highlights the collaborative and supportive spirit within this passionate corner of the speedrunning world.
