SM64 is one of the most popular speedrun games period. You bet the crowd will be cheering for all of it.

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.

excessive acronyms and abbreves are my least favorite aspect of speedrun culture, personally

Lakitu skip missed, then hosed up an LBLJ. Now he just missed a ground pound on a star box.

Bi-Han now we've got Bad Blood
While M64 is a pretty drat revolutionary game, I'm more then loving tired of seeing it now.

Especially for longer then 30 minutes.

The multiplayer thing sounds cool. This? not so much.

There's usually one or two a year. Typically among the more obscure games.

Why do they have gamesharks?
They use gamesharks so they don't have to swap or mod the n64s when switching between Japanese and English cartridges. Region lock on the N64 was a pair of tabs on the back in different locations, and the gameshark doesn't have those tabs.

if they were closer it would be a bit more interesting but simply is totally boned and cheese05 is now behind as well.

also whoever said they get tired of the slide theme can go to hell :argh:

Simply is pretty much guaranteed to be last place but Cheese can still catch up of there's a mistake from Puncayshun (which is unlikely).

it's not a carpet, looks like a combo between a stage/dance floor that the hotel put down probably to prevent carpet damage, I think the most tragic thing in that photo is the speaker stand setup incorrectly.
