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, a renowned speedrunner, achieves a historic milestone. By clinching the top position in the highly competitive 70 Star category, Suigi has become the first player ever to hold world records in all five major Super Mario 64 speedrunning categories simultaneously. This extraordinary feat is widely regarded as unmatched and possibly unrepeatable.

Suigi's record-breaking run, showcased on his official YouTube channel GreenSuigi, was completed in an astonishing 46 minutes and 26 seconds. This time narrowly surpassed the previous record held by Japanese speedrunner ikori_o by just two seconds—a seemingly small margin, but a significant achievement in the precision-driven world of speedrunning, where every millisecond is crucial.

Speedrunning historian and popular YouTuber Summoning Salt took to Twitter (X) to celebrate Suigi's accomplishment in a detailed thread, describing it as “an unbelievable achievement.” He provided context for 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 Suigi’s feat, noting, “Not only does Suigi hold all five, but he holds most by a huge margin. Nobody else can even get close to some of these.” Special attention was given to Suigi’s 16 Star record, considered the crown jewel of speedrunning categories, which was set over a year ago and still leads by an impressive six-second margin.

In the Running to be The Best Speedrunner of All Time

The significance of Suigi’s achievement has resonated deeply within the Super Mario 64 community, with many, including Summoning Salt, hailing him as potentially the greatest player the game has ever seen.

In his celebratory thread, Summoning Salt pointed out that while legendary speedrunners like Cheese and Akki have dominated individual categories such as 120 Star and 16 Star respectively, Suigi’s unprecedented feat of holding all five major records simultaneously—with no serious challengers in sight—may position him as one of the greatest speedrunners in history.

What’s equally remarkable is the overwhelmingly positive reception to this news within the community. Fans have expressed their admiration for Suigi's dedication and skill, noting the stark contrast to other speedrunning scenes, such as those for racing games, where one person dominating all major titles is often seen as a threat to the competitive spirit. In those communities, there have even been coordinated efforts to dethrone the top player.

In the case of Super Mario 64, however, Suigi's achievement is being celebrated as a testament to the game's enduring challenge and the incredible talent it continues to attract. The community’s respect and support highlight the collaborative spirit that defines this beloved corner of speedrunning.
