Suigi's Mario 64 Speedrun Record Deemed Unbeatable

Super Mario 64 speedrunning has reached a new pinnacle with Suigi, a renowned speedrunner, claiming all five major speedrunning titles. This unprecedented achievement has left the Super Mario 64 community in awe and celebration, highlighting the incredible skill and dedication required to dominate such a competitive scene.

"An Unbelievable Achievement"

The Super Mario 64 speedrunning community is buzzing with excitement as Suigi secures the top spot 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: 120 Star, 70 Star, 16 Star, 1 Star, and 0 Star. Suigi's latest record-breaking run, showcased on his official YouTube channel GreenSuigi, clocked in at an impressive 46 minutes and 26 seconds, narrowly beating Japanese speedrunner ikori_o by just two seconds. In the world of speedrunning, where every millisecond is crucial, this margin is monumental.

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 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.” Salt also highlighted Suigi's 16 Star record, set over a year ago, which still leads by an astonishing six-second margin, underscoring the difficulty of surpassing such feats.

In the Running to be The Best Speedrunner of All Time

Suigi's achievement has sparked discussions about his potential as one of the greatest speedrunners in history. Summoning Salt noted that while legendary speedrunners like Cheese and Akki have dominated individual categories, Suigi's simultaneous hold on all five major records, with no serious challengers in sight, positions him as a top contender for the title of the best speedrunner ever.

The Super Mario 64 community's response to Suigi's dominance has been overwhelmingly positive. Fans have praised his dedication and skill, contrasting this with other speedrunning scenes, such as racing games, where a single player's dominance might be seen as a threat to the competitive spirit. In those communities, efforts have been made to dethrone the top player. However, in the Super Mario 64 community, Suigi's achievement is celebrated as a testament to the game's enduring challenge and the incredible talent it attracts. This positive reception underscores the collaborative spirit that defines this beloved corner of speedrunning.
