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

Super Mario 64 speedrunning has reached a new peak with speedrunner Suigi achieving an unprecedented feat: holding all five major world records simultaneously. This accomplishment, described by many as "unbelievable" and potentially "unrepeatable," has sent shockwaves through the speedrunning community.

Suigi's Dominance Across All Categories

Suigi's victory in the highly competitive 70-Star category cemented his place in history. His winning run, a remarkable 46 minutes and 26 seconds, narrowly beat out ikori_o by a mere two seconds – a testament to the extreme precision required in speedrunning. This win, coupled with his existing records, means Suigi now holds the top spot in all five major categories: 120 Star, 70 Star, 16 Star, 1 Star, and 0 Star. These categories demand vastly different skill sets, ranging from short 6-7 minute runs to a grueling 1 hour 30 minute challenge.

Speedrunning commentator and YouTuber Summoning Salt highlighted the magnitude of Suigi's achievement, emphasizing the significant margins by which Suigi leads in most categories. His 16-Star record, considered the pinnacle of achievement, stands undefeated for over a year, with a staggering six-second lead.

A New Benchmark for Speedrunning Excellence

Suigi's accomplishment has sparked widespread praise, with many considering him a potential contender for the title of greatest Super Mario 64 speedrunner of all time. While legends like Cheese and Akki have dominated individual categories, Suigi’s unparalleled dominance across all five, facing minimal serious competition, sets him apart.

The community's overwhelmingly positive response to Suigi's success is a noteworthy contrast to other speedrunning communities where such dominance can be met with resistance. Instead, the Super Mario 64 community celebrates Suigi's achievement as a testament to the game's enduring challenge and the exceptional skill of its players. This positive reception underscores the collaborative and supportive spirit within this vibrant corner of the speedrunning world. Suigi's reign as the undisputed champion of Super Mario 64 speedrunning marks a new era for the game.
