“That was literally just muscle memory.”

Thanks for putting together this incredible video about the 120 journey! It sums up things perfectly and motivates me even more to try really hard for the 120 single segment run. Thank you so much!

Anyone not in the know, today (May 8 2022) Bubzia completed the first ever 120 star blindfold run in one sitting.

People who can play a game blindfolded can literally just lay down at night, close their eyes, and play the game

everything is completely ridiculous. even for the "beginner strats", I close my eyes and immediately have no clue about anything anymore. I cannot imagine how much memorization and precision is necessary for lethal lava land and dire dire docks. great video

"It should come to no surprise that flying while blindfolded is no easy task." What a quote

At face value this is beyond incredible. Somehow it gets more unbelievable the deeper one analyzes what you've done here. During your run you perform hundreds upon hundreds of orientation movements, spacial placement maneuvers, and intricately exercise fine granular camera control based on whatever your current task requires. This is what I find to be the most impressive part of this achievement! All it would take is a small deviation from your planned route to become disoriented and potentially lose time or force a restart... But even when there was one of your very, very few minor missteps in this run, you immediately had a contingency in place and were able to reorient yourself to your desired spacial placement and direction. This is beyond Super Mario 64. This is a vehicle on which you display a skill set that is something entirely difficult to comprehend from an outside perspective. I know I sure don't have the ability to commit to rote memory the kind of detail required to never miss a single step in something so insanely complex. On top of processing your exact coordinates and plane of view at nearly the rate of a computer, you still have to physically control the character and deal with the game mechanics... This is amazing, and I congratulate you on your new personal best and of course the world record. Looking forward to more content sometime. You've set the bar really high, but I have no doubt you have the determination to succeed in something even more unbelievable.

Therapist: Low poly Mario isn't real, he can't hurt you Low poly Mario: 15:56

This gives some degree of hope for those of us who have unfortunately become visually impaired.

GUYS dont worry, all of this was just his muscle memory and gamer sense.

Amazing video. Just the right amount of info to understand what's at stake, perfect pacing, good delivery. Keep up the amazing work

I am glad I found your channel, it has the essay-style format I love so much and it is delivered beautifully, I can't wait to go through all the other videos on your channel.

31:32 "is it possible to beat 120 star blindfolded in one session?" Shit I thought he was already doing that the entire video. This really puts things into perspective lol. I mean I think I would just have anxiety from just being blind folded for that long.

BLindfolded comment: I just love how people manage to come up with solutions like this. Always impressive to hear about work that goes sorely underaoorecuated

I just wanna say I really love your voice. it's so chill when explaining these complex things. Like the David Attenborough of speedrun videos.

"And with a heart rate you'd expect from someone running a five minute mile." "With a heart rate of 100, you can tell he's attentive to every action as he navigates the stage." Me, glancing at my Apple Watch and sweating: Okay, yeah, I guess I should stop putting off asking about that cardiologist referral- Jokes aside, this is one hell of an accomplishment! Wishing Bubzia luck on the RTA run - Might stop in myself if I have the time.

Im sure plenty of people have already commeneted this, but at 8:00 in the video, you refer to the wild blue star as chip off whomps block. Whomps block star is the one you get from beating him at the top of the level

"It's so easy you can do it blindfolded" lmao

"No one knows why the fixed camera was left in the game" because its fucking funny to hold the camera and watch mario run around like an idiot in the distance thats why

And I still can’t throw Bowser into the bombs without him falling off the platform 5 or so times

When someone can beat a game blindfolded faster than you can not blindfolded lol

"lol this is so easy, i could do that blinfolded" well that alredy stopped being a joke a while ago lmao insane achievment

When a blindfolded runner executes an immaculate cannonless and LBLJ when I have 0% consistency without the blindfold 🥴

Truly the "One Life Contra Players" of my generation's games. I may be able to beat this game in under seven hours, but these people beat it without their sight. There isn't an existent word that describes this.

I think ive heard that the fixed camera was left over from when multiplayer was a thing early in development

Been browsing through my feed for hours, and have been bored with everything. But seen this and new my boredom was about to be cured! Thank you for the unreal content Abyssoft. I'm not even a minute in yet, but know this will probably be the best vid I'll see this week...

as a official mod of the bubzia channel, i approve of the vid :)

Speedrunners: Can we do this blindfolded Me: Technically yes, Practically. no

Yooo hyped up for Molten Core vid, know its gonna be amazing, glad to see the channel growing 👏🏼👏🏼

This video explain it so well, I’m surprised it hasn’t blown up yet

The star you described in whomps around 8 minutes is not chip off whomps block - its shoot into the wild blue

Fixed cam: why does this exist... yeah... Who would even try playing with it, no one would be dumb enough to do a 70 star run of it right? ...

Yes of course it's possible, the one guy just did it

Your content has just made hours of work on the weekend much easier for me, thank you sir

In ten years I guess they'll be speedrunning SM64 blindfolded AND no-A, hanging head down from the ceiling while being tickled with feathers.

Next video title: " all 120 stars obtained blind folded without sound ques."

My wife hates video games but she loves your videos as much as I do! Your doing something right mate1 Cheers!!!

Good videonmajmbibreally like that one Okay maybe autocorrect really carried me for a bit there.

26:52 My reaction when he got sucked through the tunnel

Bubzia definately has mario inside of him

The only games I've beat blindfolded are soul caliber 2. Wrestlemania 19. And super smash bros. I did finish 1 race in Mario kart blindfolded but it took like 4 minutes to finish the race.

I attempted a blindgold comment. Just looked at what I wrote, so close.

I see blind, I fold and watch the vid

My first video of yours. Easilyyyy deserves a subscribe. Great job.

are you and storster collabing? you both uploaded blindfolded videos within an hour of eachother

this is insanely impressive.

Ultra Violet: The blackbody with Brownian motion...

This is beyond belief as his muscle memory must be on high alert. He has done more then just memorize the title, he Mastered it and wrote a book on it :0

About the fixed camera view, since I see nobody speaking about it : it's though to be a leftover from the multiplayer mode, when both Mario and Luigi could be controlled in the same screen.

He actually pulled it off in one session AND at sub 12hrs! The guy is a monster lol

28:31 You mentioned earlier that there's one Coin that cannot be gotten blindfolded; which one is it? The top of the vertical Metal Cap Coin line?

There is just no way! He should have his back turned from the TV but still have volume up.

These guys are absolute kings, and so are you Abyssoft, thanks for another banger

4:41 he’s not counting in tempo with the music (and he’s not blindfolded), he was merely counting his own movements in time with his own movements. Whoops!

It's a summoning salt style video I love it

Everyone leave a blindfolded comment, go.

Normalization, or OoT setups in a nutshell

Just imagine being able to say you are the first person in the world to beat this game completely blindfolded. Holy smokes

I remember in the 90s, I wasn't sure it was even possible to get all 120 stars to begin with.

He's now done it entirely in single segment!

Haha, storestare has also posted a blindfold speedrunning vid (that I watched live 1 hour ago) and I thought that both vids were made by him and now I realise that you are a different youtube channel

Speed running super mario 64 blindfolded hahahhah Yeh, put my other leg..

are you allowed to use something like a metronome to assist in beat counting, or is that considered cheating?

WHAT HISTORY! Congrats to Bubzia for completing this VERY hard task.

Your narration is nice dude

You're from Nova Scotia right? "Hhard"

I remember watching SmallAnt beating Super Mario Odyssey, not only blindfolded, but also blindfolded and without sound, only using his Twitch chat to help him play the game. Now THAT is a challenge

does he write down notes in braille or does he just remember it all

I am SO hyped for Molten Core!!!!!!

RIP Brown Nose Pup :'(

Are there any speedrunners that are blind, I.e. they never saw the original games in the first place because they were born blind and need to navigate something they have never seen before?

Beat timing? Laughs on golden eye

When you displayed your sub count, I was surprised you weren't at 100k yet.

The screaming at the end woke me up 😐

This is so much better than Storsters video

Yeah, I did a no-hit on SNES Pit Fighter...took me about 6 months...never did that shit, again. Put the controller down, turned it off, sold the game. :P

Next up: Blindfolded zero damage Dark Souls.

Fantastic video man! Would it be considred cheating to have metronomes providing audio cues ?

Hmm, let's see how well I can type blindfolded. This vdieo was amazing!!!!! Go Bubzias1

Now to do a full straight run :)

Great video! You deserve way more subs!

6:07 thats me lul

Speedrunners are jedi, confirmed

Please make a video about the camera!

ROM hack is allowed? They don't have to use the vanilla, unaltered game? Huh, that's unusual.

Song at 14:49? Can't find it on Novadrome's channel Edit: it's on his website, under "commissions", and it's called "unnamed (rock)"

Great video, absolutely thrilling to watch!

It's already amazing that he can memorize all of this.

okay so this category of sm64 is even crazier than i thought.

I can’t even do this while seeing

really great rundown!

It was never official, but I hit lvl 120 in Progress Quest while blindfolded.

I want them to cosplay as Zato-1 from Guilty Gear while they play

these people can speed run m64 and get all the stars blind folded and I can’t get past 10 stars 😂😳

You really have some interesting content, keep it up bro

That's a Thwomp. Not a Whomp... I can't believe you just said that... I love Thwomps. I love Thwomps. I love Thwomps. I love Thwomps. I love Thwomps. I love Thwomps. I love Thwomps. I love Thwomps. I love Thwomps. I love Thwomps. Good grief man

Before watching I would think that many of the 100 coin stars would be impossible

great video

lol a 5 minute mile is like olympic level
