Speedrunner Drozdowsky has set a groundbreaking new world record by finishing Super Mario 64 in six minutes and 41 seconds.
Drozdowsky has beaten the record of Japanese speedrunner Akira by finishing 3D platformer Super Mario 64 in six minutes and 41.76 seconds. Akira’s previous record was six minutes and 44.23 seconds. It almost goes without saying that the speed run makes rather liberal use of shortcuts in order to achieve such a short completion time; the rules of this particular speed run do not require any stars to be obtained.
The speed run can be seen on Youtube without voice overs:
Or on Drozdowsky’s Twitch channel with rather animated commentary:
Although completing the game in such a short period of time is certainly a notable achievement, it is perhaps less impressive than zserf’s feat of completing the game in under two hours whilst wearing a blindfold.
22 years old now, right? God damn, truly a legend to keep a fan community for so long
The magic of good launch games. Tetris is a legend, too.
The magic of actually finished games with no modern day horse plop and actual care and hesrt being put into the game… And yet everyone continues to bully nintendo…. Buncha ungrateful s♥♥t slitherers.
dude I was ten times the Nintendo fan you could hope ever to be. But they fu*ked up big time. I want games, no gimmicks. I want Metroid, not pokefu*k. And what did they do to my Zelda franchise? Why doesn’t it look like Dark Souls? How it is supposed to be? Why is it more and more like fairy tales in wonderland? Fact is the gaming industry defining games are no longer made by Nintendo. Fame alone is not enough to throw my money out the window for them any longer.
LAWL. “I was a bigger fan of *insert pop culture reference here* than you because I OBVIOUSLY was!”
Literally. No. One. Cares.
Liking something does NOT entitle you to respect. Get it through your thick skull you goddamn incel.
Because Nintendo are a bunch of huge dicks. They deserve all the hate they get.
Watching these speedruns always makes me feel like a crappy gamer.
in my book this is just glitch abusing. same as the Dark Souls “speed runs” with the glitch to the kindle of the first flame. no respect from me for these lazy hackfrauds.
they’re category runs, most runners have done the 100% or glitchless runs and they’re probably still ten times faster at it than you would ever be
But how many A presses did he use?
Let’s all yell at each other about our opinions on nerds playing games!
Amount or rage that article generated is fucking hilarious.
