Thanks for the info. I'll tae a look at them. :)

Hey guys,

I've been trying to do the ''No A button challenge'', and I was wondering how many stars you guys were able to obtain from a fresh new save file. I have like several questions out of curiosity for this challenge:

1. Is it actually possible to get through BiDW without TAS?
2. Can you clone objects without relying on TAS? I was so close to get the 100 coin star without the A press as I was just one coin short. How does it work exactly?
3. How many stars are possible without pressing A by a human? I feel so many of them are TAS only.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Feel free to share this with the BF speedrun Discord community (or use it). I hope this would help their game grow and for people who like to do bingo races. :)

I`ll take any feedback you guys have to improve. :D

Hey guys,

So while my friend and I decided to do bingo races of the sandbox 3D Mario games (64, Sunshine and Odyssey), we noticed that there were no bingo for Bowser`s Fury. So we decided to create one, and we wanted to know what you guys or the BF speedrun community think of it. If you guys have started, hope that contributes to the development of a bingo. :)

Yeah or have the modern and vanilla presets as default rules for the categories of SM64 Plus (minus controls and some movement options).

I cant be a mod according to the rules of speedrun.com, and even if I did, I wouldnt fit being a moderator for the game. I just wish it was available for submission.

I wish they could though. SM64 Plus has so much potential to be a very interesting version of SM64 to speedrun. I was just thinking on how we could have all of the five main categories and then separate the categories by presets (modern and vanilla). The only thing that youre allowed to modify in modern are the controls, moveset and camera, but nothing else. Its just theory crafting, but I could definitely see this game work as long as the community can have a defined ruleset for each preset. Rules for the 5 main categories of SM64 speedrunning should be the same as its vanilla version.

Can Super Mario 64 Plus be added in this leaderboard or does it have to be separated? I am interested in speedrunning this version of the game. :)

Plus it would be kinda hard to come up with rules with various categories since it has so many customizable options.

Can someone request this mod to be added to speedrun.com? I am interested in speedrunning this version of the game. I can't personally, bc I don't think I'll be a great moderator. XD

I wish to have the ROM hack ''Return to Yoshi's Island 64 Demo by Kaze Emanuar (that just came yesterday by the time of this writing) to be added in speedrun.com. From what I heard, two possible categories can be played for speedruns: 0 star and 23 star. I think that timer should start as soon as Mario enters the pipe (first frame that it goes entirely black after pipe entering) in the file select screen and ends as soon as the screen goes completely black when Mario enters the 23 stars zone. :)

0 star category: 23 star category: Game itself:

How about a category where you get all of the Daisy Cats' Cat Shines as fast as possible? I think this will be the most wholesome meme category for Bowser's Fury.

It`s because VC and EMU give an unfair advantage to the original N64 platform due to having little to no lag on EMU (depending on your settings) and EMU having no lag at all. Plus it's easier to cheat on EMU and VC as proved by Mario 64 speedrunning history. There may be other reasons that I may not be aware of, but that should be the gist of it.

Oh I just got into speedrunning a few months ago and I already chose my game. I am aware to not spread myself too thin, which is why two seems to be a perfect number, because three or more seems a bit too chaotic. I play Smash and Mario 64, but mainly playing SM64 for the time being. If I get burned out in Mario 64, I switch to Smash and vice versa. If I`m burned out in both, I play something else.

At this point, any other game that I would want to speedrun, I would just do casual races and not really care for good runs.

Oh I see. So there are definitely some advantages and disadvantages for running multiple speed games. It just depends on what you value most and our own enjoyment then. Got it. :)

I may do more research on other games to run, but it will be for long term. :)

Oh I kinda have a game like that, but the other game I play besides Mario 64 is not a speedrunning game. It's basically competitive Smash, but I don't really care to be the best at Smash. I want to be good at it, but not the best. :)

Oh what I mean by ''how speedrunning works'' is basically get a good fundamentals on speedrunning and the mindset. If I pick up another game, I won't be playing both of them at the same time, but I will just switch whenever I feel burned out from the other. I only run Mario 64 at the moment, but it's something I wanted to consider in the long run. I may pick up another Mario game to run or a new franchise (Sonic and DKC comes to mind), but I'm just not certain. I could even just stick to speedrunning SM64, because I just find this game very fun alone. :)

I watched this video, and at 14:18 of the video, the author mentions that I should play two different games in order to be good at speedrunning in general. I know that it's his opinion, but is learning just one game enough to know how speedrunning works? :)

Thank you Phantom. Greatly appreciated. :)

I want to know for the case of Sunshine and Galaxy. I am aware that it`s not allowed for Mario 64.
