To date, Wood has recorded two speedruns of Super Mario 64 on PlayStation 2, recording times of 01:24:53:01 (one hour, 24 minutes, 53 seconds, one millisecond) and 38:02:12 (38 minutes, two seconds, 12 milliseconds). But few game makers inspire fans the way Nintendo does, and that's what's led to people pulling apart the code for Super Mario 64 and finding ways for it to end up on platforms like the PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, and even Dreamcast.įred Wood, a producer at Vlambeer and head of independent developer Mokuzai Studio, was the first speedrunner I found who'd set their sights on this forbidden Nintendo port. But those ports, understandably, tend to release on machines made by Nintendo because, as you may recall, Nintendo made Super Mario 64.
To make things even better, he even goes as far as to juggle while running away from the game’s oversized crocodile.Super Mario 64 has been ported to a lot of video game machines over the years, including and most recently as part of the Super Mario 3D All-Stars collection on Switch. As he’s playing on PC, 7rayD is able to reach higher frame rates and dish out huge amounts of damage, greatly reducing the time needed to complete each boss encounter.
To the untrained eye, it may seem like 7raD is merely showing off, but Resident Evil 2’s knife damage is tied to the system’s framerate. This speedrunner relies purely on his knowledge of the game’s map to quickly solve puzzles and traverse through the corridors of flesh-eating undead, while also using Leon’s knife to effortlessly take down the many menacing forms of William Birkin. However, Capcom’s remake of Resident Evil 2 is currently the game to watch and 7rayD is the latest speedrunner to hold the title, clocking in at an impressive 52m 10s. As a result, speedrunners have been drawn to Capcom’s grizzly zombie franchise ever since Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine graced our screens back in 1996. Resident Evil games have always encouraged quick playthroughs, especially since each game invariably gives you a rank based off of your completion time.
