[Kanno](https://www.speedrun.com/user/KANNO) broke the 6m30s barrier this past Friday, August 6th in the wee hours of the morning making Super Mario 64 history once again, sneaking in just under the wire with a [6:29.950](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1109747627)



So what made this feat possible? Let’s take a dive into the details of Kanno’s most recent SM64 world record.



## A True Classic



Super Mario 64 is one of those classic speedgames that’s been around forever and yet is still somehow being optimized. It really goes to show speedrunners will always find a way. 



Japanese speedrunner Kanno has been optimizing all the short categories for the past three years and has gotten so incredibly skilled at the categories that he has a *full* ***sweep*** including the 0 Star, 1 Star, and 16 Star world records — with 0 Star being the “Any%” category in SM64.

![](https://next.speedrun.com/static/blob/v5e1yme0.jpg)Kanno’s execution in this run was incredible, near perfect even. Overall, his movement was impeccable but there are two things to highlight from this run that stand out above everything else; getting the fastest version of the Dire Dire Docks skip, and the KASLJ short for the **Kanno Tool Assisted Speedrun Long Jump**.



## DDD Skip

![](https://next.speedrun.com/static/blob/qoeoj4ng.jpg)

Dire Dire Docks Skip is the oh-so-difficult skip that separates the 0 Star category from the 1 Star category, and there are multiple setups for it. The main variation in setups is the speed required to clip through the door, and Kanno’s setup requires the least amount of speed out of all of them - making it the fastest. You can view a [comparison of the setups here](https://youtu.be/vvu40CTOLos)



## KASLJ

KASLJ is [Kanno’s newer setup for the TASLJ](https://youtu.be/fmJCWHs36P4) (Tool-Assisted Long Jump) which is about one third of a second slower than the TASLJ, but a **lot** more consistent, making it much more human viable to its Tool-Assisted counterpart — and faster than any other strat by over a second.

![](https://next.speedrun.com/static/blob/d3ekprzx.jpg)## An Electric Fire Sea

Of course, with everything that went right in this run, that’s not to say it wasn’t without its hiccups. There’s a little bit of RNG with the Amp obstacles in Bowser in the Fire Sea and unfortunately, this RNG was not in Kanno’s favor this time around - losing him 2 seconds to bonking on the Amp, locking him in the zap animation.

![](https://next.speedrun.com/static/blob/3xz0yxel.jpg)

## Star Door BLJs



In the 0 Star route, runners use Backwards Long Jumps (BLJs) to clip through doors and Kanno mentioned that his BLJs were not the best, losing another 2 seconds to the optimal route. These two things were the only things Kanno mentioned as hiccups for the 6:29 speedrun, which honestly is pretty good when you consider that 2 out of the 4 seconds time loss came down to RNG. Kanno says that his next goal is a 6:25, which would've been this run if not for those 4 seconds lost to the RNG and BLJs.

## Tracking Progress



Once again massive congratulations to Kanno for making SM64 history by becoming the first person in the world to beat the game in under six and a half minutes. Also a massive thank you to Kanno from me, for helping me out with the research for this article — I couldn’t have done it otherwise.

Kanno made history by breaking the 6:30 barrier in Super Mario 64. Let's take a look at how this impressive feat was possible.

Kanno breaks the Super Mario 64 6:30 Barrier

On February 26, 2020 [MrCheeze](https://www.speedrun.com/user/MrCheeze) bet [Savestate](https://www.speedrun.com/user/Savestate

) that the Ocarina of Time speedrun would never go under 7 minutes. On July 22, 2021, Savestate ***won*** this bet, getting their name in the history books and completing [The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time in 6:59.767](https://www.speedrun.com/oot/run/zxgej3ky)

# A Rich History

OOT might be the speedgame with the most documentation and mainstream attention surrounding its world record history. [Narcissa Wright’s 18:10](https://www.speedrun.com/oot/run/emkjx7ly), [Torje’s 16:58](https://www.speedrun.com/oot/run/y215p47z), and now the biggest barrier broken since the discovery of Stale Reference Manipulation (aka SRM, we’ll get more into that in a bit) — Savestate’s 6:59. It’s safe to say there was a lot that led up to what might be the last minute-barrier to ever be broken in OOT, but if I was to cover [everything from the beginning](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DgefbvS3X4geDxfwdE-K6CnGvNcDwZSmiZz_u2KGDcI/htmlview?pli=1#) we’d be here forever. Instead, let's take a brief overview of what the route looks like today.

# The Route

Once Savestate is out of the 3-minute introduction, they do a backflip off of Link’s house and side jump to grab two rupees. The start of this run is all about grabbing some items and rupees to buy more items needed later in the run.

![](https://next.speedrun.com/static/blob/l1n7m9n5.jpg)Savestate then continues on to grab the sword from a chest, grabbing more rupees along the way.

![](https://next.speedrun.com/static/blob/97n62meq.jpg)Next, it’s time for some rupee farming. Savestate grabs every permanent rupee in Kokiri Forest (the first area in the game) plus two random ones for a total of 55.

It’s possible to farm some more of the random rupees and save an additional 5 seconds, but Savestate intentionally opts not to for this run since it only has about a 14% chance of success. With the 55 rupees, Savestate buys a Deku Shield, which is needed to get Mido out of the way for a setup later in the run, as well as a Deku Nut, which is used for a glitch later on.

![](https://next.speedrun.com/static/blob/7rnq5wnj.jpg)This is where things get ***wild*** and *VERY* technical.

Ocarina of Time is quite a long game casually, but a *short* speedrun while running under the Any% ruleset. This is because runners are now able to warp to the final credits from within the first area through an ***INCREDIBLY*** complicated process.

The tech behind this process is complex enough that after a few hours of research, I still feel as though I’ve only scratched the surface of it. I want to thank Savestate, MrCheeze, dannyb, and the Ocarina of Time Speedrunning Discord for assisting me with this information, and I’m going to do my very best to boil it down as best I can. I’ve also listed some documents and videos explaining everything with greater detail at the end of this article.

![](https://next.speedrun.com/static/blob/67e9g1n1.jpg)After leaving the shop, Savestate manipulates the actor heap at the transition between Kokiri Forest and the Great Deku Tree in order to set up the game’s memory appropriately, performs a glitch called [Return A](https://youtu.be/5A51_byMBXs?t=437) and then heads back up to the crawlspace where they grabbed the sword.

On the sign by the crawlspace, they use a glitch called [Walking While Talking](https://youtu.be/5A51_byMBXs?t=497) which, when combined with Return A, is able to create a Stale Reference from a rock, and then load a fairy in its place, modifying its data.

Normally when fairies are unloaded, they run a function in the unloading process. This function modifies memory in two places, and runners use SRM to modify memory based on the first and second halves of the player's filename.

Players use the first half of the filename to set all the grass polygons to a specific exit within Kokiri Forest, and the second half to set the current cutscene value to 7, which when combined with the exit mentioned previously, wrong warps the runner to the credits. Running back over to the Great Deku Tree unloads the fairy and activates the effects of the SRM.

# ![](https://next.speedrun.com/static/blob/3ynl7mz6.jpg)Technical Marvel

When Stale Reference Manipulation was discovered, there were sub-categories created that banned its use due to how powerful it was, even spawning a new category representative of the route before SRM's discovery. The majority of the community and even the runners of Any% don't seem to *enjoy* the new Any% category in the traditional sense.  However, there is certainly something to be said for the amount of effort, knowledge, and talent that exists behind this run.

So many people spent a combined hundreds of hours into the routing of this run. Even beyond that, the execution required to match up angles precise enough to allow for this glitch is astounding.

![](https://next.speedrun.com/static/blob/r7z34led.jpg)What lies ahead?

Well, as I was in the middle of writing this very article, prolific speedrunner DannyB who has also held many world records in the past was able to achieve a sub-7 time of his own — lowering the Ocarina of Time world record by a further 2 seconds with a [6:57.400.](https://www.speedrun.com/oot/run/yj5j413m)

Danny was even a contender to be the first person for a sub-7-minute time, but unfortunately due to a caching error (no fault of his own) he had two sub 7 pace runs die right at the end.  He finally managed to get it on July 23, just one day later than Savestate. At the end of this run, Danny mentioned that Any% can be lowered by a further 5 seconds but that it won’t be him that does it.

So what’s to come? No one really knows. Will someone come along and lower the record right after this article gets published? Maybe. One thing is for sure, it seems the last minute barrier for Ocarina of Time has *finally* been broken.

No one’s ever claimed that before — right?

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 7-minute barrier broken

For this month’s community spotlight, we spoke to Coldeggman, an Animal Crossing speedrunner who recently completed a month-long Animal Crossing: New Leaf 100% run.



## THE LONGEST SPEEDRUN



Hypothetically, a runner could intentionally stretch out a run of almost any game and call it the longest speedrun, but this is a real-time, first-place speedrun that is incredibly long because it has to be that way.



Previously, this record was held by [Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean 100% with a world record runtime of 338:43:26 (a bit more than 14 days)](https://www.speedrun.com/baten_kaitos_eternal_wings_and_the_lost_ocean#100), so how did Coldeggman beat that?



Animal Crossing: New Leaf introduced a badge system that rewards players for certain achievements including the “Villager of Honor” badge which is awarded for 500 hours of playtime.



Because of this badge, nobody has completed a 100% speedrun of New Leaf since it was released. No one, that is, until Coldeggman.



For as much as 12 hours a day throughout most of April, he played New Leaf, working to collect the various other badges while he let the 500-hour clock tick by 24/7.



In the end, his run clocked in at 638:27:29 (almost 27 days).



“It's still weird to me that I was able to pull that off. I was always telling myself that I wouldn't make it past like the first week,” said Coldeggman.



This run was in a league of its own even for someone like Coldeggman who has experience competing in 20+ hour categories.



## THE RUNNER



Coldeggman has played Animal Crossing games since childhood and since 2017 he’s collected world records in titles throughout the franchise.



Starting with the original Animal Crossing for the Gamecube, Coldeggman learned and practiced the shorter runs like “All Debts” and “Golden Net.” From there, he put together the building blocks of the 100% run.



He became interested when he saw a clip of the at-the-time World Record holder, P4ntz, entering some “Tom Nook Codes” to acquire specific items for the run. Coldeggman timed himself entering the same codes and found that his untrained inputs were as much as 20 seconds faster than P4ntz’s had been.



P4ntz had set the record at 38:00:37, but Coldeggman was able to bring that time down to 27:02:17 and from there, he has improved the Animal Crossing 100% run to 19:25:35.



It can be tough to imagine a single stream of 20+ hours and Coldeggman says it takes practice to focus for such a long time. 



“I used to do like a 24-hour stream every month which is bad for your health so I try not to do that much now,” he said.



For a lot of speedruns, the common wisdom is to grind a run in full to make progress but with runs that long it is not realistic or healthy so prepping for runs involves practicing different segments, menu navigation (aka ‘menuing’), and movement.



Coldeggman said that movement doesn’t seem like it would be that important in Animal Crossing games, but tighter control can add up in a competitive setting.



While he has run other Animal Crossing games, the Gamecube original is his favorite. “I would say Gamecube and New Leaf are very, very close but I think I would put Gamecube just slightly ahead just because I’ve played it ever since I was way younger,” he said.



But again, even 27 hours is nothing compared to 27 days.

![](https://next.speedrun.com/static/blob/d3ekd5zx.jpg)## 600+ HOURS



The idea came to him during a walk on the very first day of this year. “I just thought to myself ‘wait a minute, since there's a 500-hour badge in New Leaf, I wonder if you could do a 100% speedrun of it.’ I just laughed it off at first but quickly got to work on it.”



For most other runs, Coldeggman tries to jump into them pretty quickly, but for this one, he needed some time for more planning and mental preparation. He practiced and frequently modified the route.



“I had already decided on doing two streams a day, with an hour-long break in between to take a mental break which really, really helped in the end and I think without that I wouldn't have been able to do it for sure,” he said.



But even with all his preparation, as Coldeggman worked on acquiring every badge, he found something which had slipped through the cracks.



Some of the items he needed could only be purchased through Club Tortimer, an online function which Coldeggman already banned from the run due to the risk of encountering hackers or other issues that would disrupt the record.



The only alternative was to hope for an incredibly unlikely RNG-dependent interaction. After some tense consideration, the decision was made to ignore those items for this run.



“It was really stressful having to deal with that in the middle of the run not knowing about it beforehand,” he said.



Despite setbacks, Coldeggman eventually achieved the 500-hour “Villager of Honor” badge and from there he just had to tie up some loose ends to reach 100%.



After 27 days, he completed the longest real-time first-place speedrun. “It was a very emotional moment for sure,” he said. “Would I ever do it again? Probably not...It was a very stressful experience a lot of the time. Still fun, but man it was rough a lot of the time.”



As far as advice for anyone considering a run this long, Coldeggman doesn’t think it’s for everyone. “Unless you were super motivated...I wouldn’t recommend doing a run like this. You have to be very good at playing for long periods of time...but despite that, I’d say just make sure you take breaks often and eat/drink properly to keep your health in check.”



Overall, just take care of yourself. This is a cool achievement but you should always make sure to take care of your health first and foremost!



## WHAT IS NEXT



Even right after that huge undertaking, Coldeggman has some future runs in mind. He’s considering jumping back into some other Animal Crossing titles and might further improve that Animal Crossing 100% run with some new discoveries and strategies.



To anyone considering running Animal Crossing, he said, “I definitely recommend it. If you’re talking about the Gamecube one, start with ‘All Debts’ or ‘Golden Net.’ It’s actually a very fun speed-game. It’s very chill. It’s not too complicated and it's pretty easy to learn. It’s not just RNG there’s a lot of skill involved too.”

What's the longest speedrun you've ever done? This month's Spotlight focuses on Coldeggman who recently completed a speedrun that took more than 26 days. That's dedication, folks!

Spotlight: Coldeggman and Animal Crossing

Within 24 hours, top Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD (WWHD) runner [mralberto23](https://www.speedrun.com/user/mralberto23) has broken not just one, but ***three*** barriers in WWHD speedrunning. On May 2, he finished WWHD 100% in *under 5 hours for the first time ever*, clocking in at a blazing [4:59:20](https://youtu.be/-InOwuE-8XA) — breaking the first hour barrier since June 2017 when gymnast86 got his [5:59:48.](https://www.speedrun.com/twwhd/run/yl9k48ky)



The following day, mralberto returned to his original category of choice — Any%. Although there were obstacles to overcome and resets to be had, he managed to clutch out a [sub-50-minute Any% Unrestricted](https://youtu.be/hT0FfX-Rr68) and [sub-1:10 Any% No MSS](https://youtu.be/3lOgcWI6iec) — a sweep of the Any% category.



## New Discoveries & Developments



2020 and 2021 brought some amazing discoveries for the WWHD community. Some left only a small impact, but others were absolutely game-changing.



## 2020



In 2020, a consistent setup was discovered by [BowserIsBored](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5APAX3dZxB8yav2RbuAiaA) where if you die on the *same frame* you trigger the loading zone for the second Forsaken Fortress cutscene, you can re-enter later on without the game crashing where it normally would have. This allows you to return later when you normally wouldn't be able to, skipping an entire trip to Hyrule — chopping off a hefty 4 minutes from the run. (Keep this in mind for later!



2020 also brought along the decision to use a [community-developed RNG calculator](https://youtu.be/1hs451PfFzQ) that allows runners to consistently do the battlesquid minigame, which was a big run killer before caused only by randomness. Finally, the big kicker in 2020 was the absolutely bonkers [Puppet Ganon Skip.](https://youtu.be/9s93pFJcjzQ?t=244) discovered by [Joaish](https://www.twitch.tv/joaish) (PG Skip for short).

![](https://next.speedrun.com/static/blob/0dz48ke6.jpg)[Image source](https://youtu.be/aUo4HZI4-Iw)



As a twist of fate, 100% is the only category where PG skip is possible (out of the 3 records mentioned) since it requires the hookshot. It *also* happens to be the **longest**, and this incredibly scary trick happens within the *last 5 minutes of the 5-hour run.* Why is it so scary? Well, you need to: hookshot up high, fall down on top of the entrance doorway where you roll clip out of bounds (while Puppet Ganon attacks you), and shoot fire arrows up to the top of the room where the extended hitbox of the fire arrows can (hopefully) hit 2 Morths, which will then have a 38% chance to jump onto the pot lid and burn it, allowing you to teleport up to the top — skipping the fight. Essentially, there’s a 62% chance you fail it and lose a minute and a half for every time you need to retry.



![](https://next.speedrun.com/static/blob/0wzxxdzr.jpg)[Image source](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdNfeMDrN7Q)



Oh, and by the way, mralberto did this trick on the *first try* in his 4:59 run.



## 2021



The main theme around discoveries in 2021 seems to be strategies to skip cutscenes — a speedrunner's worst enemy. 



In March, WWHD speedrunner/glitch hunter [LegendofLinkk](https://www.speedrun.com/user/LegendofLinkk) discovered a new glitch called [Pause Storage](https://youtu.be/5XjrAddta9A) and then a day later, the [very first of many](https://youtu.be/aicwR8y4gf8) cutscene skips with the method. Pause Storage lets you enter a cutscene while still being able to menu during it. This means that for cutscenes where the flag to mark it as complete is set at the beginning of it, you can save and quit, continuing as normal afterward without needing to watch the whole thing. 



Cutscenes aren’t the only thing that Pause Storage affected, however. As it also allows you to duplicate a Wallet upgrade, and basically “steal” items from the auction section, Removing even more RNG from the route!



These new Pause Storage strats, as well as other (smaller) discoveries from 2021 including [Medli Skip](https://youtu.be/vKkO9YFzzcI), a [1-cycle Molgera](https://youtu.be/g0-r-alHoPY), the [Bomb Island Magtail Skip](https://youtu.be/kDmle_qHTn0?t=14411), and the implementation of strats previously thought too difficult like [Tree Cutscene Skip](https://youtu.be/DvIbUMD1wc8) and [Cliff Plateau Oddshot](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgvbHTNS4EE) allowed [Linkus7](https://www.speedrun.com/user/Linkus7) to lower the record a solid *fifteen minutes*, down from a [5:24:39](https://www.speedrun.com/twwhd/run/z5jqx7jm) to [5:09:29](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/978866217).



The unfortunate thing about Pause Storage is that it requires the use of the Pro Controller. Mralberto ordered a controller when Pause Storage was discovered, but it didn’t arrive for a week and a half. When he finally got it, he began working on relearning segments with the new controller to avoid swapping controllers as much as possible. Mralberto prides himself on optimizing segments and going for very difficult time saves, even the small ones that add up over the course of a run. It’s likely this commitment to optimization that allowed him to take these new strats and grind down the 100% time a further *ten minutes*, bringing us to the first-ever sub 5-hour run achieved just earlier this week.



![](https://next.speedrun.com/static/blob/qrz2vln0.jpg)

## What’s next? 



Mralberto says his next goal is to get a full sweep of not just the main WWHD leaderboard, but its category extensions as well. As for the future of 100%,  which seems to be the category with the most attention right now, previous world record holder Linkus7 is already back on the grind for his own sub 5-hour run. You can watch him grind for that [on his Twitch stream](https://www.twitch.tv/linkus7). There’s also rumors that [Gymnast86](https://www.speedrun.com/user/gymnast86) (who has also held the world record many times before) could potentially be coming back to WWHD.



There’s no doubt that this is an incredibly exciting time for the WWHD speedrunning community. Throughout this process, I’ve garnered a lot of respect for the WWHD runners because, damn, if these aren’t some of the most complex tricks I’ve ever seen. It’s amazing to me that the game that had the [holy grail skip of all holy grail skips](https://youtu.be/-hUIp3eUyKI) keeps on giving with new cool tech and starts. 



If there’s one thing you can expect from a Zelda game, it’s that its speedrunners will find the coolest looking tricks. (Twilight Princess, I’m looking at you. It’s your turn now.)

In a flurry of broken records, mralberto23 has put his mark on the Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD leaderboards.

mralberto23 broke three Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD barriers

Speedrunner [Niftski](https://www.speedrun.com/user/Niftski) just got the world’s first ever 4:54 time in Super Mario Bros. during his [Twitch stream](https://www.twitch.tv/niftski) this past Wednesday (April 7th, 2021). He managed to rescue the princess in a shockingly fast [4:54.948](https://youtu.be/i3NRe3KulqU), the fastest it has ever been done.

For comparison, the last second barrier to be broken was back in September of 2018, with [Kosmic’s 4:55.913](https://www.speedrun.com/smb1/run/m3o7q9qm).

Niftski achieved this through dedication and incredible skill, but it’s even more astounding feat when you realize that the [No L+R TAS of the game](https://youtu.be/0N43G0SXup4) is a 4:54.265… just a fraction of a second faster than Niftski’s own run.

# Subpixels and Frame Perfection

Worth noting as well, this was also the first-ever world record to contain the 8-1 Flagpole Glitch. The Flagpole Glitch (FPG) is an incredibly precise trick requiring a subpixel setup and frame perfect inputs. There are three other FPGs in the run, which have been used before, but the one in 8-1 is especially difficult because it needs to be a top step FPG, on top of a fast acceleration at the start of the level. This is a really complex glitch, so if you’d like to learn more I suggest you check out [this video.](https://youtu.be/yHv0lM4bZD0)

## ![](https://next.speedrun.com/static/blob/3ynl23e6.jpg)

# A Wholesome Ending

At the end of his run, Niftski hopped into a Discord call with some other top level SMB1 runners, including previous world record holder [Miniland](https://www.speedrun.com/user/Miniland), who congratulated him sincerely on his new achievement. Niftski said that near the end of the run, “I told myself to stay calm, just stay calm… and it worked.”

Even for those with the skill to perform the run, it can be challenging to stay calm when on the run of a lifetime. Niftski did a fantastic job of controlling those nerves!

On top of that, Niftski also stated in his description that he’s not done yet! So we have much more SMB1 to see from him.

The race to 4:54 may have been won by Niftski, but there were a few other potential candidates who will still be continuing their own personal grinds for the sub 55. If you’re interested in catching those grinds, you should check out [Miniland](https://www.speedrun.com/user/Miniland), [LeKukie](https://www.speedrun.com/user/LeKukie), [Thelxinoe](https://www.speedrun.com/user/Thelxinoe),  [AldynSpeedruns](https://www.speedrun.com/user/Lul_ecks_dee), and [Tree_05](https://www.speedrun.com/user/Tree_05).

Speedrunner Niftski broke the 4:55 barrier in Super Mario Bros. on April 7.
