I tried making a user blog about this before but then stopped playing SM64 and now that blog expired. If anyone cares to check it out it's right here. I've been playing a lot in recent months so I decided to revive the blog. Since I left off I have purchased a game shark and I have just been practicing single stars. I've made a few videos of some of the cooler looking stars I've been working on so I will be posting those here.

This is one my most practiced stars and I still need to practice it a lot in order to do this consistently:

Bowser in the Dark World - 8 Red Coins in 49.30

My plan right now is this:
  • Practice single stars to get more consistent at the difficult ones
  • Do some full-stage RTA's for practice
  • Start doing 70 star runs for a decent time, like sub 55 minutes.



My PB is 1:24:38 but that's very old and I would crush that right now if I cared to, but I don't. I'll try completing runs once I get better and can actually get a decent time.

If you have any questions about SM64 or how speedrunning works feel free to send me a pm.

Here are some videos for some other cool/tricky stars

Tick Tock Clock - Get a Hand in 9.43

This star just has one triple jump wall kick at the beginning that's tough to learn but it's cool skipping so much of the level

Whomp's Fortress - Fall Onto the Caged Island (Owless) in 13.33
When you do the wall kick into the cage with the star you need some really precise timing which makes it difficult.

Shifting Sand Land - Inside the Ancient Pyramid (Pillarless) in 18.67
It's pretty obvious that this star is difficult with the really weird glitches, but learning is the hardest part. Actually performing it isn't as bad, it doesn't require as much precision as some other stars.

Hazy Maze Cave - Swimming Beast In The Cavern in 16.33
The hardest part of this star is getting the proper angle for the triple jump onto the box. Timing the triple jumps is a little bit tricky but not too bad.

This is what I've been working on lately:

Rainbow Ride - Swingin' in the Breeze in 13.93
This is about as good it's going to get in a full-game run.

Rainbow Ride - Tricky Triangles in 17.36
This wasn't amazing. There's a lot better movement at the end that I still need to learn how to do.

Bob-omb Battlefield - Shoot To The Island In The Sky in 22.13
Video came out really dark for some reason. But I finally learned how to speedkick. This movement was pretty flawless, but the flying could be a tad faster.

Tick Tock Clock - Timed Jumps on the Moving Bars in 23.9
This one came out dark too. The movement was terrible. Two extra ledge-grabs and got stuck on the cage at the end. But I'll take it.

Been practicing Dark World a lot. Still trying to get 49 seconds consistently.

Ordered a new controller. The one I use now isn't too lose but it's getting there. I have blue ice and I ordered watermelon, and I think it would be cool to also get red and blue ones to match.
