Soupypop Bro yes, it cut out the part where he cart swapped to pull off the hidden Super Mario Sunshine boss hidden in the Japanese version's code by accessing the bytes where it's stored in the English version and then doing a 1.37473 MS swap of the cart to fool the N64 into running it. Easy for someone with such a strong human element.
Hey guys, if you look closely at 1:07, you can see Mario turn slightly left, but if you take a frame-by-frame look at the SNES controller at this time you can see that no such button on the controller is pressed. I think the run is fake guys.
Just splicing a few segments together? For those of you who are claiming that, I have significant proof that Todd Rodgers did NOT splice this game. In the 1980s, he coined the term "The King of Videogames." Here's the fact of what happened: Those SNES inputs were there to put him into 9999th gear. The crawling in the final Bowser level was merely to "rev up" Mario. This is the human element we're talking about here, not spreadsheets and a/v analysis.
Hi, Todd! Your video was reviewed and we found some inaccuracies. For this reason this can not be listed on the 0 star leaderboard. However, we approved it for the 120 star leaderboard, as we found no evidence of cheating! Reason: 120 stars during the final Bowser fight Approved by: Morgan Freeman Twingalaxies Referee
agreed, the ability to play one game inside another and then remerge from it as seem at 1:14 is complex. Even the best take 2 years until perfection of the craft is achieved, clearly Todd has worked hard.
if you look closely at 1:09 you can see that he actually left in a frame where he messes up the crucial BLJ needed for the Credits Warp (a splice) and thus this run is void. Please stay away from the Hello Kitty: Big City Dreams leaderboard.
HOLY CRAP! He managed to perfectly pull off the Mario Kart AND Sunshine trick in a world record speed run!? It must have taken YEARS to get to that level of skill. Gg man, definitely one of the best runs I’ve ever seen.
What about the morgan Freeman donation trick, it requires perfect inputs to revive morgan and rob him, and perfect hiding of the courpse from the police, took me by record 204402 rerecords to even remotely get it, had to face jail for 20 years since i couldn't get the hiding part
notice the way he masters the game, from hidden mario kart textures to screen warping, perfect executions, not even a tas could achieve that, but I have to agree that he did start the split a little late, but oh well who cares about that anyway
Whether you like it or not some speedruns are simply better than others. While some choose to speedrun for fun others take it more seriously. These are the top 5 undisputed most amazing WR speedruns ever seen. 5.First we will take a look at one of the most competitive categories in speedrunning, Dragster on the Atari 2600. The runner Todd Rodgers has put an insane amount of time in this run and was able to take the record after an entire 5.51 seconds of the run being verified by a referee. Todd Rodgers is SO much better than everyone else that is unlikely this time will ever be beaten, unless he himself decides to remove it from the leader board. 4.The less experienced runners like Cheese and Puncayshun choose to run the 120 stars category of SM64. This run is way too easy for many of the top runners, that's why some choose to run SM64 0 key catagory. Which has terrible game-switching in between the run, you can lose a run randomly and has you do all sorts of crazy wrong-warping that I don't understand at all. Todd demolished this piece of shit in 1 minute and 5 seconds with absolutely 0 movement mistakes and whilst starting the timer a minute into the run due to various weird button inputs on an SNES controller which made no sense to me.
This is an old practice run it was never supposed to stand. The real run is much faster (0:0:34:745) and he collects every single one of the 179 stars. I know because i work at Twin Galaxies, and Todd performed this live for us here at HQ. Seeing that we are completely honest ill give you a rundown on how he managed to achieve such a record. Naturally Todd was using the odyssey version os sm64, as it is the one that the text scrolls the fastest and used a dualshock 4 from the early days of the game boy as his controller. According to him, the trick for his blisering fast time was clearly starting the game with his clutch pedal on 24th gear. Wich we verified as beeing true later. We sent guinnes a letter detailing this feat, but somebody had dropped some gravy on the time, so they sent it back because it was hard to read. But the time stands nevertheless, another incredible feat by the King verified by us at Twin Galaxies, your trustworthy source for gaming scores.
you gotta like the appriciation and care that he put into this run, when the castle cutscene played he spammed buttons that have a 0.01 chance of making mario go into a secret gear named "3rd Gear" after that he went super slow untill he did the cannon glitch that saves 1 second on the run and gives a huge speed boost, then he shifted from 3rd gear into 2nd gear in order to unlock the Kart mode, after entering the castle in mario mode, the speed from kart saves and hes able to go through the door easily, then he does a percise jump in order to save some seconds and does the BLJ, then when he gets into bowser's staircase, he needs to shift into gear 2 in order to go through the stairs easilly, but he goes for the harder trick called "The bowser painting glitch" where the game forgets what painting you were close to and then teleports to the last painting, the last painting was the big bowser painting and then he goes through the pipe, at the final level, todd goes crawling in order to do a speed glitch that zooms you to the end pipe but the donation blocks what he does so we cant examine what he did or recreate it perfectly, but its possibel. when he was fighting bowser, he shifted into 4th mode, a really rare mode that requires 69 0,1 A presses that are super hard to do and have insane luck for the 0.00000001% chance that happens and he managed to get the chance and killed bowser easily. thats why i appriciate tod rogrs!!!!! however, the run had a flaw, he accidentally collected all 120 stars, so hes the top player in the 120 stars, not the 0 stars.
It's that human element only the King of Video Games can tap into. I go to bed crying every night knowing that I will never be a master speedrunner like Todd Rogers...
Fun fact: The SM64 ACE is actually possible but no one did it. Step one : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Bb0v-VDsBkQ.html Step two ( same concept but N64 ) : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SL_Zuc0tlvo.html Step three : cake
Seeing someone this good has inspired me to get into speedrunning. Thank you for always being there when I needed you most Todd, you’ve really helped me through some tough times.
This is the most legendary run i ever seen on my life. Defeated the last wr holder by 5 minutes. Did some precise tricks that are only made by a master. And did it better than SimpleFlips. your a legend
At first I thought it was fake, but then I realized it's a Todd Rogers score. He never loses and haters say it's fake. No splicing here folks! Hehe... Heh.. he..
Gotta love the timer timing. Mario64 runs timer starts when you turn on the console and end when you grab the final star. Instead it starts way after you gain control of Mario and ends when the final star starts moving.
