AWESOME

I loved the ending when he said “maybe start a family!!” I feel like we were all expecting it but I’m glad he said it haha. Awesome video

This is a really good interview, super nice questions!

This guy is such a Mario 64 Speedrun Legend, interesting interview👍

Cool to hear BobbyBroccoli mentioned, high quality for sure.

Awsome interview man

If he manages to hold all 5 main categories, he becomes the GOAT. 120 is the most important one.

Shoutout to simpleflips.

Yessssss

He says that his focus at the moment is 70 stars… What ?! Doesn’t he have all records except for 120 ?

hi suigi

16 star pb 27:02 for me

It is really cool to see top runners talkin this way like in a natural way where is just them and nothing else. Very cool video. I enjoyed it so much.

he is going to have a very rich legacy, i can feel it

i cant help but feel partially responsible for the hi simply thing with my first dono in one of his wrs

He cute!

Well done interview! These are great. I know a lot of hard work went into them.

Smart kid going into the trades. He's got his head on straight no doubt.

These interviews are awesome

suigi's mom is so based

Top level sm64 runners all seem pretty well spoken. Interesting. No excessive saying 'like' or ums and ahs

I wouldn’t be surprised if a couple years down the road people start calling Suigi the modern day Siglemic

"I'm taking an extra year of highschool then I'll take a year off school to stream" Sounds like you already have bud

11:27 Few videos have made me laugh as hard as when I watched that one.

Noice

This is an awesome interview. I have a few things in common, mostly watching Simpleflips & playing minecraft but as interested as I am in speedrunning sm64 I haven't started any runs. I don't really have much equipment that I'd need to do any runs like a capture card for example. It's always something that's been in the back of my mind so I haven't forgotten about it, just going to take some time to have a proper setup.

Literal shoutout to simpleflips
