GreenSuigi: The SM64 Speedrun Prodigy - Mario 64 Interviews @ PACE Summer 2023

[@kelskels1147]

Cole is my cousin, he’s been playing Mario literally since he could hold a controller. I am not at all surprised by his success! Keep it up buddy, your family is so proud of how far you’ve come!

[@grandmastermario3695]

He's only 18 many people have been playing since before he was born so it is very surprising.

[@anvarmora]

It is really cool to see top runners talkin this way like in a natural way where is just them and nothing else. Very cool video. I enjoyed it so much.

[@Tyler_Kwak]

I want to try to do these for each interview. 00:21 What was life like growing up? 00:51 How did you discover and get into Super Mario 64 speedunning? 1:30 What makes Mario 64 such a mechanically good speed game? 1:55 When did you start to feel yourself become a very strong player? 2:26 What aspect of the game keeps you motivated to keep playing the most? 2:38 Do you ever struggle with burnout? How do you deal with it? 3:14 Do you have a favorite stage or star to talk about? 3:44 What is the hardest strat you've ever tried to implement? 5:41 Is there anything you feel sets you apart from other runners? 6:40 Were your practice methods always good or did they improve over time? 6:57 How much do you practice a day? 7:37 What are some of your favorite games outside of Mario 64? 8:40 If you had to speedrun any other game, what would it be? 9:04 How does your mom feel about your loud popoffs? 9:25 Does your mom think what you're doing in speedrunning is cool? 9:57 What kind of hobbies do you have outside of speedrunnning? 10:34 How did you enjoy your time making KZbin content?

Here after the double 120 WR, Suigi is really impressive and this interview speaks a lot about his mentalithy and method of training. His focus on those long runs is really impressive

[@yeahtbh.161]

what's a "mentalithy" ?

[@astromigui]

@yeahtbh.161 bro don't waste everybody's time with useless thing like correcting a typo mistake from someone for whom english is his 3rd language.

i cant help but feel partially responsible for the hi simply thing with my first dono in one of his wrs

[@aarontruitt]

Well done interview! These are great. I know a lot of hard work went into them.

[@sbp___9865]

he is going to have a very rich legacy, i can feel it

[@JavaScripting64]

These interviews are awesome

[@morniclegreen3534]

This is a really good interview, super nice questions!

[@yannisconstantinides7767]

Cool to hear BobbyBroccoli mentioned, high quality for sure.

[@HarryKaberry]

I loved the ending when he said “maybe start a family!!” I feel like we were all expecting it but I’m glad he said it haha. Awesome video

[@Shrando]

yo wassup Harry!

[@lisa4471]

This guy is such a Mario 64 Speedrun Legend, interesting interview👍

[@maxrichards5925]

This is an awesome interview. I have a few things in common, mostly watching Simpleflips & playing minecraft but as interested as I am in speedrunning sm64 I haven't started any runs. I don't really have much equipment that I'd need to do any runs like a capture card for example. It's always something that's been in the back of my mind so I haven't forgotten about it, just going to take some time to have a proper setup.

[@LukeSly91]

Speedrunning isnt for everyone. Takes a certain kind of person to reach a high level. It likely seems like an absurd pursuit to the average person

[@Hedlund83]

Awsome interview man

[@olising8843]

Great interview!!

[@LukeSly91]

Smart kid going into the trades. He's got his head on straight no doubt.

[@LukeSly91]

Top level sm64 runners all seem pretty well spoken. Interesting. No excessive saying 'like' or ums and ahs

[@NelsYGO]

Yessssss

[@RizK1_]

I wouldn’t be surprised if a couple years down the road people start calling Suigi the modern day Siglemic

[@BigHit9922]

legend

[@Yardomaster]

11:27 Few videos have made me laugh as hard as when I watched that one.

[@windowsforvista]

Literal shoutout to simpleflips

[@rodrigo53]

If he manages to hold all 5 main categories, he becomes the GOAT. 120 is the most important one.

[@CometMedalChavez]

Well, with all the recent discoveries regarding carpetless... it's only a matter of time.

[@LukeSly91]

21 mins behind wr. It'll be a while lol

[@LukeSly91]

Honestly he already is the goat imo. He's like the Wayne Gretzky or Michael Jordan of SM64

[@guerin545]

@@LukeSly91nope needs 120

[@Sidney_TSG]

​@@LukeSly91He definitly is the goat already yeah. Holding all 5 categories at once is just an insane thing to ask for.

"I'm taking an extra year of highschool then I'll take a year off school to stream" Sounds like you already have bud

[@DemolitionDerbyChaosShorts]

16 star pb 27:02 for me

[@adamgd3335]

you’re cooked

[@undetected2088]

He says that his focus at the moment is 70 stars… What ?! Doesn’t he have all records except for 120 ?

[@Geenix7]

At the time this was recorded he had just got his first 70 WR and wanted to keep grinding the category to take it lower (46:2x, his WR is 46:41)

[@yeahtbh.161]

Still looks like a little kid...
