Blindfolded Super Mario 64 player sets an impossible record: Unbelievable feat

The “Super Mario 64” community is in disbelief after a new record was set.Bubzia, a “Super Mario 64” speedrunner, did the game’s 16-star challenge in under 20 minutes — while being blindfolded and unable to see the screen.It took Bubzia 118 days to complete the Nintendo game in under 20 minutes, after previously setting the world record at 22 minutes and 23 seconds.With a blindfold on his face, Bubzia speedran the game in 19 minutes and 43 seconds in his YouTube video published October 2.

“After 10 Months of restless grinding, 118 days / streams of practice, runs, and more, the most ambitious goal in blindfolded SM64 has finally been broken,” Bubzia wrote in the description of his video.He continued, “I am so incredibly happy that I pushed through all the hardships that this challenge has thrown into my face.It has been a really fun blast, there have been so many new viewers to blindfolded speedruns in general, and many sticked to me grinding this challenge daily for the last year.”“I honestly don’t have much to say about the run,” Bubzia went on, “it can still be improved and maybe I will return one day.

But as cliché as it might sound, the much more important part than me breaking this milestone and the world record is the absolutely amazing and kind community that I have.Thank you all so incredibly much!”Bubzia then promised to break the 70-star record next.Other members of the “Super Mario 64” community commented on Bubzia’s video to congratulate him on the major accomplishment.“This will be going down as one of the most important moments in Mario 64 speedrunning, if not speedrunning as a whole,” one person wrote.“Wow, congrats Bubzia!
