History Was Just Made in Super Mario 64

Blindfolded Speedruns are some of the most truly amazing exhibitions to behold, and history was changed forever when Bubzia picked up his controller and donned his blindfold as he asked a simple question "can I beat every star in Super Mario 64 blindfolded?"

Thanks for putting together this incredible video about the 120 journey! It sums up things perfectly and motivates me even more to try really hard for the 120 single segment run. Thank you so much!

[@gab_l7540]

At face value this is beyond incredible. Somehow it gets more unbelievable the deeper one analyzes what you've done here. During your run you perform hundreds upon hundreds of orientation movements, spacial placement maneuvers, and intricately exercise fine granular camera control based on whatever your current task requires. This is what I find to be the most impressive part of this achievement! All it would take is a small deviation from your planned route to become disoriented and potentially lose time or force a restart... But even when there was one of your very, very few minor missteps in this run, you immediately had a contingency in place and were able to reorient yourself to your desired spacial placement and direction. This is beyond Super Mario 64. This is a vehicle on which you display a skill set that is something entirely difficult to comprehend from an outside perspective. I know I sure don't have the ability to commit to rote memory the kind of detail required to never miss a single step in something so insanely complex. On top of processing your exact coordinates and plane of view at nearly the rate of a computer, you still have to physically control the character and deal with the game mechanics... This is amazing, and I congratulate you on your new personal best and of course the world record. Looking forward to more content sometime. You've set the bar really high, but I have no doubt you have the determination to succeed in something even more unbelievable.

[@Matthill121]

This sounds like that comment that became a copypasta from some other video i saw a while ago lol

[@idontwantahandlethough]

I just this year finally beat SM64 for the first time. It's not a hard game, but it's not an easy game either. Blindfolded though? Forget about it. I could work at that for the rest of my entire life and never even get close. And on the topic of blindfolded runs, I can theoretically grasp how a 2D game can be run blindfolded. but a 3d game? a 3d game with the world's wonkiest camera, at that? It's just utter insanity, for all the reasons you said. One little mistake, and you're screwed. Whats more, the nature of blindfolded runs mean that you might not realize your mistake until it's far, far too late to fix it! And yet... here we are.

The difference between visually impaired and complete blindness is as stark as the difference between thoughtful replies and troll comments. Even the fully blind can use audible screen readers online. Likewise, some people who’ve become partially blind later on may still have a good memory from when they weren’t.

[@leftysheppey]
