Watching the setup practice, it looks like they have speedrun timers and instant-level-restart button combos. The former is I guess for posterity, the latter for reducing fuckup downtime?

I'm just looking at the record on SDA, which says Siglemic holds it.

BUT SDA also says that has been the record since 2011.

I think the website may need to be updated.

The WR is 1:40:43 and a 10 second time save is significant.

As a veteran of watching these marathons ( :smuggo: ), I still think that they should probably take some time to explain some acronyms and such to make this a little more accessible for new folks.

E: LOL, Puncay was the only one to not get Lakitu.

I also tried to ban someone from a Discord for pointing out what an unrelenting shithead I am! I'm even dumb enough to think it worked!

Faster text boxes.

I don't remember if there's any other reason that's specific to the Japanese version.

To easily get around the "region lock" on the N64. The control on the N64 is just a couple of notches on the back of the cartridge and plugging a gameshark doesn't have to deal with that.

For my Japanese N64 carts, I swap the back of them with copies of Madden and other sports games. I think I have five or six sports game around here that are now only playable in Japanese N64's...

So this is...what, about a 2 hour run? How long do you think until the crowd either goes dead quiet or just simply loses the hype?

these are a bunch of nerds who crowded a theatre to watch these guys play a game fast. they're gonna cheer forever. they probably have an energy drink IV so they don't miss a second.
