Speedrunner Claims All Notable Mario 64 Speedrunning

Suigi's winning run, uploaded to his official YouTube channel GreenSuigi, clocked in at an impressive 46 minutes and 26 seconds. This time narrowly edged out Japanese speedrunner ikori_o by just two seconds—a minuscule margin in any other context but a monumental gap in the precision-driven world of speedrunning, where every millisecond counts.

Speedrunning historian and popular YouTuber Summoning Salt took to Twitter (X) to celebrate Suigi's accomplishment in a detailed thread, calling it “an unbelievable achievement.” Providing context for Suigi’s dominance, Salt explained, “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.”

Salt further emphasized 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.” Particular attention was given to Suigi’s 16 Star record, the crown jewel of speedrunning categories, which was set over a year ago and still leads by an astonishing six-second margin.

In the Running to be The Best Speedrunner of All Time

In his celebratory thread, Summoning Salt noted that while renowned speedrunners like Cheese and Akki dominated specific categories such as 120 Star and 16 Star respectively, Suigi’s unparalleled feat of holding all five major records simultaneously—with no notable challengers in sight—may even position him as one of the greatest speedrunners in history.

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.
