There’s a new world record for getting all 120 stars in Super Mario 64 quickly — and it’s kind of amazing that it happened at all.
Yesterday, a speedrunner known as Nero raced against other speedrunner, Puncayshun. The goal was to see who could get to 120 stars first — that is, to try to beat each other. And despite saving and quitting during his run twice — which added to his overall run time — Nero not only managed to beat Puncayshun, he also got a record time for completion (1:42:15.92). You can watch the entire run here:
According to Speedrun.com, the previous record was held by puncayshun, in a run that clocked in at 1:42:32. This new run by nero is an improvement by seconds, but that’s all it takes!

Thanks for describing what a race is, and not giving any detail into how this specific event occurred and what made it unique. I’ll do my own research later. Alright, yeah… this was a good talk. Carry on…
I was also looking for a bit more information as to what he actually did.
I’ve just watched the first 9 mins of this run and it’s pretty spectacular – this guy seems to know the geometry of the level perfectly – his first star is the chain chomp one – not by stomping on the post but by using a bo-bomb explosion to launch himself thru the bars.
Watching his 100 coin run thru Thwomps Fortress is like watching an artist at work
100 coins on Tick Tock Clock. Worst star ever.
I once got 100 coins on a Bowser level but nothing happened.
