Haha, this guy completes Mario 64 in 16 mins with only 16 Stars, sure it uses bugs in the game, but still pretty damn impressive.

Can't believe its someone playing the game 16 mins straight with no fuck ups, its gotta be edited.. but damn, hes good.

It is edited. It's a Tool Assisted Speedrun, which means they're using an emulator, and then editing their best runs together. They might also be using slow motion, and, as you said, exploiting bugs in the design. The point is, they make no claims to be skilled in any way other than planning things well, and being patient enough to do it hundreds of times to get it right. It's meant to be fun to watch, more than anything else.

If you're interested, I did an interview a few months back with Joel Yliluoma, who runs the site that came from.

It would be awsome to do that for real but it reminds me of the video of how to beat the original super mario game witch is actualy doable

Christ

I think this really redefined speed runs...

can't say i'm convinced in the slightest... was cool to watch though
