This Simply SGDQ Super Mario 64 120 Star speedrun was recorded during Summer Games Done Quick 2022, a week long charity speedrun marathon raising money for Doctors Without Borders. Summer Games Done Quick 2022 is just one of the many charity marathons organized by Games Done Quick.
Super Mario 64 120 Star Speedrun World Record for GDQ events. Super Mario 64 120 Speedruns involves skipping Lakitu, running through Bob-omb Battlefield, and exploring every stage in order to complete this AWESOME speedrun! Although you can't skip the Mario 64 opening cutscene, clearing all the levels, and getting all 120 star in every level/course. Beating the game as fast as possible is crazy fun, but it's even more exciting with a live audience behind me!

Great run but that moving reds will be immortalized in the GDQ hall of fame. Legendary!

Dramatic reenactment: 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴⭐

[@gio1135]

this is the first mario 64 i've ever seen and was absolutely impressed the whole time. but my jaw fell when he did the moving reds

[@barofsoap3795]

To bad the cringe pronouns ruin it. Literal man calling himself a woman. So stupid

[@itsmehunterwx]

The moving reds were dope

[@marisanya]

The fact that you were on WR pace all the way until DDD is amazing.

[@bloodwolf2609]

yeah that was crazy basically an hour of WR pace running, can't ask for much more at a GDQ

[@sirhawkjames]

bro i get nervous running 16 stars to 5 of my homies i can't fkn imagine running 120 stars at wr pace for this kind of crowd... it goes to show how much of the speedrun grind is mental game.

[@chubbychu4621]

The run was so legendary, the way you did it like an absolute Chad lining it up w the donation goal and really tying it up with a bow I mean like it was a walk in the park.

32:37 one of the great gamer moments of GDQ history

[@wesdogg_]

I believe this will go down as one of - if not - the greatest Super Mario 64 120 run of All-Time at GDQ. Almost sub 1:40 was LEGENDARY and it's going to be very hard to beat.

[@billygunning8277]

But it could be a 1.37

Excellent commentary as always Wes. Tyvm

@@billygunning8277 if only that DDD 100 was just a little better..

[@pigs6486]

Is this the fastest 1 try ever?

[@ThingSomeRandom]

@@pigs6486 nope, cheese’s WR was his first 120 run of the day iirc, he did it right after a 16 star run though. And obviously he could have reset and was only doing it in front of his viewers so it’s not the same.

[@lordrob13]

the missed first bowser throw followed by "thats embarrassing" had me rolling! good game simp daddy

[@rtyuik7]

but also, as great as Simply's run was (i mean, hot damn, almost a Minute And A Half improvement!), i also gotta give it up to all the Speedrunners in Chat-- they kept pace at about $1000/Star and raised over $120,000 in that Hour-n-Fourty...

[@MmoviesE]

This was beyond impressive. The mental toll it has to take to perform while people constantly commentate over your every move, trying to show off all the new techniques for an audience, facing your demons in the form of stages you messed up on in the past, and listening to some outlandish donation messages being screamed out while playing. Amazing stuff simply.

[@lornekerzner5718]

You skipped the best part at the start "long time viewer.....first time.....viewer".... lmao

[@artemis64]

I'm surprised how well that joke hit tbh

[@domcactus]

Great run, absolutely a joy to watch. I'm sure all your pumpkin friends enjoyed it too

[@kylerm7392]

The stemhead donation was the highlight of the run i died laughing 😂😂

PROUD OF YOU SIMPLY 🖤🖤 Also wes being a bit delayed at the beginning of the run was killing me

[@johnm1008]

I bought a gold split Apex gaming pc and it changed my life. It even cured my anal fissures.

So that guy who said it was WR pace in the GDQ chat ruined this run 4Weird

[@WreakingOfSmoke]

I was one of those 100k! Dude, you made so many of the clips and skips look so easy. Fantastic run! The slide betting still gets a laugh out of me too.

[@fantasie8422]

amazing moment in speedrunning to be remembered very well done

[@CombustibleL3mon]

The fact that you managed to get such a decent time whilst also engaging with the commentators and drumming up the donations is amazing!

[@Purriah]

You’re amazing, Simply. That was a hell of a run, with so many people watching you, from outside of your community. Lots of pressure and you killed it, wild.

[@Oakshield2]

Great run under pressure man. And shout out to the man formerly known as Shrek, best game commentator in the game

[@joshinjapan]

To do this run under so much pressure is just incredible and is super inspiring to speed runners

[@HeyRoosty]

The announcers screaming at the top of their fucking lungs for donations about Pokemon with 2 minutes left in a run that Simply out loud said he was nervous for is the most cringe thing I've ever fucking seen. Absolutely unreal.

He doesn’t really hear them. You passively tune out unnecessary noise when you’re in the zone

Maaaannn simp…. You and cheese are so freaking amazing. Including all the other GREAT runners in this amazing game, this is the best community in gaming.

7:45 "Guess the right time and ill dono!" *Picks range of times instead* "gotta choose just ONE time" "you okay with 12.8?" "No ill go uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" 😂 They did NOT understand the assignment lmao. They sounded very familiar with SM64 speedrunning and 120, so im kinda surprised one of the commentators just doesnt get how slide time predictions work.

[@obsidianchao]

Dude I didn’t know you were a deadhead!! That’s awesome! Hope to see you on tour this year!

[@Newtination]

29:20 what the hell, cheese looks so young and I don't even recognize Simply due to the terrible 2016 camera quality - both left and right seem fine on mobile lul

[@Dziaji]

Nice job. I haven't seen a lot of the super new movement like that cute stuff in tick tock clock right before pounding the blue coin switch, and that ground pound in moving reds. I see another WR in Simply's future if the stars align and he can clutch a perfect run with all this new tech.
