Congrats to cheese05! The record gets broken pretty often, but this is the first time it has gone under 1:40. I remember watching Siglemic's stream and him trying to get near 1:44, seems amazing that runners have found a way to cut another 4 minutes off since.
Update 1:
puncayshun has consistently been chasing Cheese for the WR and finally got it by 8 seconds, making him the second speed runner to break 100 min.... until:
Update 2:
Cheese reclaimed it only 24 hours later! Breaking his personal record by 29 seconds and puncayshun by 21 seconds!
Super Mario 64's toughest speedrunning world record has been broken. Cheese05, a beloved member of the speedrunning community, managed to be the first in the world to collect all 120 stars in the game in under 100 minutes — a time that many previously thought was impossible.
Early this morning, May 5, Cheese played through the classic Nintendo 64 game live for a rapt Twitch audience. The world of Super Mario 64 speedrunning in particular is fiercely competitive, due to how much these playthroughs are based on memorization and extreme precision. This is especially true of the complete 120-star run, which may be the most difficult version of a Super Mario 64 speedrun to do. It requires that players collect every possible star in the game, and doing all of that in less than one hour, 40 minutes seemed unthinkable.
