Recently, a Twitch streamer who dedicates his channel to Mario 64 speed runs contents beats the previous world record while his community cheers him while he’s on live.

Getting to the end of a game is a personal goal for some people. It’s not just about finishing a story or collecting in-game achievements. While some players practice runs over and over in order to achieve a personal best, others go one step further and break world records, often to the player’s surprise. When one Twitch streamer completed Super Mario 64 in the quickest time, they did just that.

Liam’s channel has over 28K subscribers which is dedicated to playing Mario 64, and he recently broke the previous world record of 120 stars. A short clip of him defeating Bowser’s final incarnation on the Nintendo 64 classic was recently uploaded to Reddit, and it shows the final moments of his victory.

He managed to get to the game’s closing credits in 1:37:53, with his community cheering him on the entire way and he surpassed his previous best of 1:38:13, which he set not long ago.

While the video is brief, it provides an overview of just how fast the streamer had to be going in order to save those precious milliseconds. It’s a remarkable achievement, perhaps made even more so by the fact that the time was set live on stream, similar to how Twitch user Summit1g beat Max Payne 3 live.

Setting a new world record on air is a particularly special moment for both the player and those who were there to witness it. Speedrunning a game is difficult enough, requiring hundreds of hours and countless replays to perfect a run, but setting a new world record on air is a particularly special moment for both the player and those who were there to witness it.

Mario 64 is also regarded as one of the most difficult games to speedrun, with numerous attempts made over the years. While there are several ways to complete a run on the 25-year-old game, collecting all 120 stars in the shortest amount of time is probably the most difficult task for anyone looking to complete it.

People will always be willing to go back over a game like this to see how fast they can get to the end, whether with 120 or 70 stars. One Mario 64 fan recently beat the game using a drum kit, demonstrating how willing runners can be to try new things. That isn’t to say Liam’s performance hasn’t been impressive. Setting a new world record in real time is an incredible achievement.

The Nintendo 64 game Super Mario 64 was released in 1996.
