Super Mario 64 Drum% by CZR in

[@gamesdonequick]

AGDQ 2024 is live right now! Tune in to watch at www.twitch.tv/gamesdonequick. EDIT: The ending is muted due to a copyright claim please bear with us. You can listen to the cover here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHqthneZo7WckLs

[@Nick-_-452]

IS there a way to see where these runs are filmed? I'm trying to find the GDQ location schedule but can't seem to find it.

[@ShimaKaede]

@@Nick-_-452 I think they reveal the vanue and date for the next GDQ at the end of the current one, so to speak. so at the end of this GDQ they should announce the date and location for SDGQ 2024

The fact that this run exists implies that somebody can write a piece of sheet music that completes Super Mario 64.

Imagine coming across the drum tab for it in the future and wondering what on earth kind of music it is

The comedy potential of adding stave text saying "requires frame perfect input"...

it would have to account for every possible RNG sequence... so, maybe ;)

[@BMSphoenix]

The fact that he's throwing in drum fills between stars 👌

[@browncoat697]

He's clearly a reasonably good drummer (I've been playing ~20 years, myself) and I'll just say that the nature of the inputs kinda just lends itself to transitioning into an actual fill just to, like, fix it in your brain. It sounds and feels _wrong_ to just stop playing without doing a quick lil fill.

[@beemoh]

A lot of the drumrolls that lead up to some of the glitches (eg Cannonless in Thwomp's Fortress) makes the whole thing feel like a magic show.

[@bmac4]

​@@browncoat697 As a drummer...yes its hard to go a long period behind the kit without hitting the drums, it's the urge and the instinct

Hey there, I was One of the commentators of this run. We didn't get a chance to say this at the end, But if anyone wants to learn how to do alternative controller methods, please feel free to reach out. It would be awesome to see more content like this at GDQs in the future and myself @czr_drums and many others are really wanting to see more competition in the alternative controller space. Just look us up by our names in the video and you should be able to find us. Thank you to GDQ for having us and CZR for letting me run commentary.

[@skeetsmcgrew3282]

What did something like this cost to set up? Obviously it's an electronic drum kit but then presumably you'd need some bizarre converter to make it plug into an N64. This seems exceptionally inaccessible to most people tbh

[@andrewut7ya511]

I have no idea how it works but cant be more than a cable and possibly a ras pi, maybe a 100$ config plus the cost of the drums of course

[@charliekelly735]

Can't you make all the instructions and programs open-source for any speedrunners to use?

[@Pixiuchu]

This specific comment reminds me of the time I tried beating Sonic Adventure 2 with just Wii Remote motion controls and nothing else (every single button assigned to the Wii Remote motion controls no exception) but due to technical limitations with the software I was using it was completely impossible to get past a specific level... (this limitation being I couldn't get the Nunchuck to work for some reason so I had to do it all with just a single Wii Remote. I got further than I expected) Maybe if the software limitation can be bypassed I'd love to try again (although I don't stream anymore for now so it's not a priority)

[@Daniel_Eisenhardt]

@@charliekelly735 CZR has a full how-to on his channel. I tried it immediately after I saw this amazing run and was shocked learning how easy it was to set up. I've been zooming around in classic Mario Kart ever since, having the best time driving awfully. The MIDI translator is not free, but the trial version let's you play 20 mins before you have to restart.

[@scrunklethebip8646]

That's not a Rockband controller drumset, that's an honest to goodness real-ass drumset. Programmers are wild and this speedrun is fantastic.

[@crazygermn]

Importantly, it is an electronic kit that works by sending digital signals. They aren't just strapping mics to random floor toms and calling it a day.

[@DYLZAL]

Damn could you imagine using a real drum kit with triggers to do this. That would be crazy!

[@Baiswith]

@@DYLZAL half your RNG would instantly be in the triggers lol

[@grizzlywhisker]

I wouldn't call a midi drum kit a "real-ass drumset," but yeah it's not a controller or toy by any means.

[@CheesecakeMilitia]

That run was amazing, but is the audio cut out of the credits due to copyright?? Damn that's so sad it looked like such a hype performance live

[@RinoSoreAss]

My thought exactly… didn’t get to see it live and not being able to hear his performance at the end was so sad

[@therealyosh]

Yes, I hope CZR or AGDQ will reupload it with sound! This is for charity!

[@Pr0tal]

its blocked on youtube however you can still listen to his performance in the twitch VOD.

Thanks god i was there to hear the credits, it was one of those beautiful moments that only AGDQ can give to us.

[@websiteuser7926]

This is some of the most fun I've had watching a speedrun, the fact that the controls are usable enough for decently fine-grained control of the game plus the runner actually being a decent drummer makes every moment have such satisfying sounds accompanying it

This has to be the most impressive run I've ever seen. Absolutely amazing and absurdly cool.

[@JoeyJojoJrJr]

This run completely ensnared me from start to finish. I've watched Mario 64 runs so many times it's drummed into my head, but this one beat them all. It just makes the normal, N64 controller based runs seem so cymbal!
