Speedrunners Finally Pull Off The 'Holy Grail' Of Mario 64 Glitches

Since it came out 20 years ago, Super Mario 64 has been cracked open, turned inside-out, and put back together in all sorts of weird configurations, but people keep figuring out new ways to warp its candy colored reality. The latest is being billed as the biggest speedrun breakthrough since 2007.

WOW!

this guy must be a Jedi Master or something

It is tool assisted (bot) and it is technically a glitch run anyway, not a speed run. It seems everyone these days has forgotten what a speed run actually is.

obscurica2761d ago

The speedrunning scene's evolved, and so have the criteria. Better to treat it as a catch-all term nowadays.

Claudinho692761d ago

you the one that needs to catch up, there's different categories of speed run

ziggurcat2761d ago

as impressive as it looks, i don't even think that that kind of thing counts as a legitimate run through the game.

feraldrgn2761d ago

If it wasn't tool assisted, then I think it could be considered legit, since they're still using the game's code through human capabilities.

BrandanT2761d ago

It depends on the type of speed run. There's a category where "anything goes" and for Mario 64 in particular, there are categories that are dependent to how many stars you get in the run.

obscurica2761d ago

Depends, of course, on the running category.

feraldrgn2761d ago

I can't imagine how this was discovered...
Well if I just do this maneuver & bounce like crazy this way... then up here, jump off the map, then down there, hmm... voila!
xD

PeroxideBloom2761d ago

It was a TAS run, so technically doesn't count, but what it does do is prove that if someone were able to replicate even a few of those new glitches, the any% world record could drastically change.

If they ever did I hope they would add onto it, there's so much you could do with Princess Peach's castle alone

roadkillers75d ago

Or just make the Mario 128... the cancelled sequel that sounded amazing (or was it just an amazing tale).

fr0sty74d ago

Funny that after all these years, we still use 64 bit CPUs, so it wouldn't make sense to call it that.

fr0sty74d ago

Yeah, a straight remake doesn't sound good to me. Same formula, but different game.

Number1TailzFan76d ago

Each level is pretty small today in the original game, I don't like huge levels but I think they could be at least 2x bigger, or close to it and more of them, with more things to do.

They could do a mix of having open levels and more linear ones like in 3D World or Land, I doubt they will do that but it would make a change.

Neonridr75d ago

I mean Odyssey's levels weren't massive, but requiring you to do different things in each world is what made the levels feel bigger than they were.

ZeekQuattro75d ago

I'd prefer a Oydessey 2 or Galaxy 3. Besides the DS
game was a Mario 64 remake complete with more playable characters, stages, bosses and muti player content.

Cacabunga75d ago (Edited 75d ago )

I did not like Odyssey i found the idea of ot lame.. i find it boring to just look for moons instead of exploring and enjoying the levels. Let’s not talk about the extremely repetitive and ridiculously easy bosses. Level design is so meh most of the time. Galaxy 2 is a far better game so Galaxy 3 anytime!!!

TiredGamer74d ago

Agreed. I enjoyed Odyssey for a while, but it quickly became very formulaic where each level felt like a checklist of things to do with WAY too many moons to find. The Galaxy series were the best, as they took some of what made 64 great and juiced it up perfectly.

Lolly75d ago

Yes! Let's release an almost 30 year old game to kick off the next generation for Nintendo...
I'm over re-releases...FEED ME NEW MARIO!
