Lol awesome!
Have they done a Mario speed run?

Still can't comprehend how someone finished Mario 64 in under 20 mins. Unbelievable, I put hours into that game lol.

Mario 64 in under 20 mins.? No way! How on earth they do that?

You do the stair long jump glitch, I got to see a person speed run Mario 64 live but it took him about 40 minutes.

It lets you pretty much teleport through the star doors (so you don't need to actually get stars). It also lets you get past the infinite stairs.

Ahhh a glitch, no wonder lol, I mean it would be impossible to do it normally under 2 hours let alone 20 mins.

Gotta youtube it.

They have multiple players, and they have it all worked out so they do get to sleep while other people are playing.
