Mario 64 Speedrunner reacts to 9 year old World Record

I started speedrunning SM64 8 years ago, and wanted to see what the 120 star world record looked like before I started running, so here it is!
A lot of things I expected, but was also surprised by a few things and learned some cool stuff about the history of the 120 star speedrun.
enjoy!

[@schizoframia4874]

Were going to look at simplys run in 2030 and wonder why hes not doing carpetless.

[@Blernster]

Simply got wr and lost all motivation to play. He just sucks off mizkif for more views now. He won't ever have another pb

[@ghegerich]

@@Blernster I can’t tell if your serious or not

[@emuboss5955]

@@Blernster he is grinding now tho

[@nottoofast]

@@Blernster irregardless of what you are saying in your comment, *holy shit 15 year old channel*

[@JimmothyYumyum]

This comment didn't age well, fam

[@RetepAdam]

Damn, that’s pretty good for a 9-year-old.

[@frenetic1232]

Thats what i was expecting when i started watching lol

[@adhoccerswings]

@@frenetic1232 Yep, since it should've been "9-year-old world record" at least - but even then I would have thought that :D

[@klyper]

gottem

[@Neilly671]

clickbaitttttt

[@sorses]

24:13 It stood for 5 months, simply was looking at the wrong run

[@krbay1019]

That clint clip is my new favorite thing.

[@Flatearth69]

Timestamp pls

[@trickkballer5538]

You should see the clip of Clint go off on one of his viewers that got one of his videos dmcaed if you haven’t. He popped off even harder.

[@TheNetflixGamer]

@@Flatearth69 18:45

[@imperiallarch7610]

That Clint clip sounds like the rant of someone who viewbots, ngl. :P

[@BHox01]

That's Clint Stevens, that's viewbotting

[@zombizoid5468]

Damn I didn't know 10 year olds did M64 speedruns

[@TheVivi13]

never watched Clint?

[@unreal-the-ethan]

ikr, what are we doing with our lives?

[@S3P7]

The 1st WR was over 3 hours long

[@Purriah]

When I was 10 I beat at fast as I could, like 80 hours probs

[@unreal-the-ethan]

apparently, it's 9 years now? child prodigy speedrunners?

[@PaddyRoon7]

Tbf, what did Sig expect? "I wasn't accusing him of viewbotting I was just asking" is such a passive aggressive cop out. Idk either of them very well though, dunno the full story.

[@CrimVulgar]

9:40 "What does Honey do? Oh shit, what!?" is pretty much what we were all saying every time he dropped a run. Utter machine.

[@besinio91194]

I'm considering grinding Honey's DDD100 strat as I'm not very consistent with the triple jump (mostly cause I'm using an 8BitDo controller on emulator and I accidentally grab the sub star everytime i attempt DDD100)

[@RegalPixelKing]

Elmo knew what was up Swag Points > Time Save any day of the week.

[@jarroddobben]

It's cool that even tho this runnis outdated as shit there's still some stuff that simply could take from this, shows how landmark Elmo's run was ever for its time

[@ZXMany]

10:52 I love this moment 😂

[@thepotto8175]

Imagine roasting people in the 1500s for not using their cars to get to work. Jk I love your stuff and Speed-runner insight

[@MoonlightMirage]

So you mean roast their horses- Wait what does this have to do with SM64 again?

[@MagicMason1000]

I honestly thought the title meant that a 9 year old got the world record, not a world record that is 9 years old. Edit: The title was changed. It used to say 10 year old.

[@SilentSlayer13]

Guys, he’s never eaten pizza with a fork...some say he never will

[@carlchameleon9847]

your works cited please? thank you

[@ShinyTomb]

I have PogO.

[@RoseQuartz692]

The Elmo 1:49:49 was the first SM64 Speedrun I ever saw

[@christianheaps9711]

Elmo’s got major swag

[@duck7496]

That clint clip was kinda nutty tho

[@strawberrylemonadelioness]

It's always cool to go back to old speedruns!

[@antoniofg30]

Video idea?: SM64 speedrunner tried to speedrun SM64DS

[@rac1equalsbestgame853]

And vice versa 😉

[@zig8737]

Simply talked shit about sm64ds multiple times so I highly doubt that’ll ever happen

[@Dyojenes]

Next he's gonna react to a record from 20 years ago lol

[@GiuseppeGaetanoSabatelli]

vhs recorded with a 144p early webcam, saved as a quicktime .mov uploaded to geocities over aol

[@Dyojenes]

@@GiuseppeGaetanoSabatelli exactly

[@metaldude21]

And then bitch about how it's unoptimized with today's strats. SMH.

[@bodie12333]

Haha I want to upvote this but it's at 64 likes

[@Thex-W.I.T.C.H.-xMaster]

This guy has alot of time on his hands if this is what he is doing. He needs a girl and probably needs to rethink his life in general.

[@whyamihereidontknow9067]

Let's play strats is my new favorite insult

[@milfmanniletsplay6693]

Save- and Wait-Strats for the Win

[@CaptainFicus]

Mario's eyes at 2:44 lmao

[@TailoredOutdoors]

For sure gotta get away for a bit. That grind has gotta be a trying experience.

[@garorade]

damn we've progressed, oh shit puncashyan memories

[@superkulty64]

It's crazy how much Mario 64 WR has evolved over the past decade. Combined with the amount of records this year, there's still a lot of room to grow for Mario 64. :D

[@GraniteValleyDave]

I'd love for you to check out other early runs. Great video mate

[@Pavidota]

Does anyone have a link to the clint vs siglemic video

[@PlutoTheThing]

Elmo and some other japanese people (namely batora) actually somewhat recently have been making progress in some kaizo sm64 romhacks, its pretty cool

[@sonte5050]

i thought this meant that a 9 y/o kid held the world record lmao

[@gotchalmao3047]

Oh it doesn't? :|

[@ThePendoMaster]

Oddshot lmao, that’s a throwback

[@seik0uu]

1:02 "this run is older than the average mizkif viewer" LOL

[@DarkLeviathan8]

Makes you wonder what the game will look like in 10 more years.

[@RodriHermo]

Easily SUB 1:35 with carpetless NO JOKE

[@NicholasOvi]

@@RodriHermo Hey good news.

This was the first speedrun I ever saw

[@fdaehbcswcfaqgh576]

Once he runs out of content he’ll have to start getting wrs

[@riggle6627]

the dab didn't exist yet 😳

[@chanceneck8072]

Whoa, Clint "Clintstevens" Stevens, coming in with the savage self-confidence there at the end. Dude, I love you man, but I could actually use a haircut, too. I don´t want to, though. I wanna see, how it would look, when it grows out more, it´s never been this long in my whole 35 years of life.....

[@cameronschiralli3569]

That clip was something else though

[@jase_93]

Simply you have to get that Chipotle sponsorship

[@tayelorszn6635]

I forgot about the Clint Stevens massacre

[@EverythingWentSideways]

i had no idea that happened holy shit lmao

[@Essman614]

For real he killed that guy

funny thing is that we'll probably be reacting the same way to Simply's WR 10 years from now

No lakitu bounce? Man was slakituing

[@brawldude2656]

This video is basically simply getting excited for very old forgetten tricks and * "What is this 100 route? 🤨" * Also don't forget bullying an 9 year old wr (for that time)

[@alexlarmon2858]

Can only think of green suigi saying 16 is dead. Think anyone in 120 ever said that after a big barrier lol

Cringe thumbnail. I love it

[@ri10q44]

Watch Dragorn's run lol

[@MoonlightMirage]

Also you're telling me this wasn't performed by a 9-year-old? :(

[@SuperMichael2003]

It wouldn't be surprising if it was, because many speedrunners are probably 9 to 12 when they start. I might be wrong.

[@DCComicsAndSomeOtherThings]

yo

[@chanceneck8072]

I was wondering what that "WR" stands for all the time?...... (just don´t mind, I just thought to myself, I wanna try today to get some "dumbest comment ever" prize. Just let me know, if I succeeded.... Don´t forget to laugh, people!)

It legit took me a full minute to realize this wasn't a world record by a 9 year old.
