Honestly even if he just has held WR in all major categories at some point in recent history, not simultaneously, that would be absolutely insane.

16:22 I love how cheese is also there for the big moment

I don't know why it brought me a little joy but knowing he was gonna say Cheese as the top Mario speedrunner made me happy

Who is the greatest Super Mario 64 player of all time? Billy Mitchell. Nobody knows more about hot sauce than him

Karl, Shaking hands? Here's advice: -Know yourself. This excitement sounds like a perfectly normal adrenaline(aka epinephrine) rush. It's a common problem for public speakers, promposals, etc. -Expect it. Mentally prepare yourself. Think it through ahead of time so there's nothing distracting left to think about during. Plan playstyle etc. -Caffeine itself enhances performance, but it mimics adrenaline and adds to the shaking. Try to know how many mg are in your drink. -Prescription "beta blocker" pills (like propranolol) subtract by blocking certain adrenaline/caffeine receptors. There's no shame in telling your dr that you're trying to get a WR or a prom date and you wanna prevent adrenal performance anxiety. They're very common for this as well as blood pressure. They're not high-risk for abuse like some other anxiety meds, nor do they really sedate you. -As always, take care of yourself: sleep, stress, nutrition, etc. gl. thx for vids.

Love the videos. Always so informative and entertaining, thank you.

The legend uploaded again!!!

Speedrunners HATE this gamer for one simple trick

We'll have to wait and See if weegee takes the chance and makes something out of his potential

Given how stress is playing a vital role in longer runs, I can't wait for a big PED scandal to emerge from that XD

Karl Jobst is a legend among legends

5:26 Xiah did hold the 70 star WR briefly in 2016, at the same time he held 16 star WR and then he held 1 star and 0 star a few months later. If things shook out just a little differently, he could've had 4 at once. It was briefly and only once, but he was definitely competitive in 70 :)

Don't tell the Mario kart community that a dude is getting all the records simultaneously

Mario 64 is definitely in a golden age. So many amazing runners right now: SImply, Liam, Weegee, Cheese, Suigi, just to name a few. It would be cool if Weegee swept but idk, Kanno and Suigi are SO good at the short categories, and you can never count out Cheese to clutch a 120 record. Also Liam has been on some insane paces and just missed a bunch. Great time for the game!

"When am on record pace my hands start to shake" - Karl Jobst I can relate to this in so many aspects of life not just speed running, sometimes it even happens when I try to ask for extra sauce at the restaurant .

Even with a few mistakes the man nabs the hardest SM64 world record by 15 seconds! That itself shows how incredible his run and talent is. This lad is the perfect candidate to obtain the WR in all five categories.

As far as Kanno is concerned, you mentioned he "placed" 5th in 16 star. However that run was world record at the time he got it, and he held the 0, 1, and 16 star WRs simultaneously (both on N64 and on emulator, which is another feat in and of itself). After getting the 16 record, he pushed his 0 star record down twice and got two consecutive WRs in 1 star. He has been grinding upstairs and downstairs individually to get good times, and is gonna start doing 120 runs at the beginning of 2023. So he is going for the long categories now, but he had a later start than Weegee. I'm not trying to take anything away from Weegee at all, I just think Kanno is better than you give him credit for

I remember watching Cheese a few years ago say he was aware of Weegee and his ability to take #1

Karl, I hope you know how much good you do for the speed running community and gamers as a whole! You and Summoning Salt have been my favorite documentarian of video game culture. Thank you for helping us relax and smile!

Karl giving us a Christmas present early, what a legend

Merry Christmas Karl, may you get lots of presents and love from your family. And may Todd Todgers get a lump of coal for Christmas, and a copy of Dragster.

its all fun and games until suigi learns 70 and 120

Never speed ran this game but the content covering it is simply addictive

Weegee’s play completely wowed me. His 120 star had a missed bowser throw and a 3 second hesitation with no Mario movement after a missed clip in Hazy Maze. Looking forward to his future runs!!

personally, I really hope he gets 5/5, but I think getting the 16star from suigi will be very difficult. It will be one prodigy vs another. I can't wait to see what happens in the coming year. SM64 golden age has just begon! Hopefully we also see the first 1:36:xx next year aswell

This video feels like it was made to give Weegee that extra motivation to become the GOAT. I respect it

despite mario 64 not being my favorite mario game, its definitely one of my favorite speedrunning games ever. its one of the few games where watching a run is something magical

Karl: Most people stress out and fail on the path to a record time Also Karl: Let me up the pressure tenfold by highlighting to everybody what Weegee is about to achieve

So this aged like fine milk with Suigis new records

17:57 It would truly be amazing, but Bubzia's blindfolded 120 star run is unreal. It's the most mindblowing speedrun ever achieved by a human on planet earth.

This is a 3 minute video stretched to 20

The Weegee vs Suigi era begins.

I watched this man destroy my whole childhood. A game that took me two years to finish he did during nap time.

You're sort of underrating how incredible Suigi's record is in 16 star and what his potential is. Suigi's 16 star record is a full 9 seconds ahead of 2nd place. He's closing in on being the first to break the 3x barrier while nobody else has gotten 4x. Then Suigi is also top 5 in 70 star. Suigi's potential is so high, and his 16 star record is so dominant, I'd put the odds better for Suigi to get 5/5 before anyone else, even though he hasn't touched 120 star yet.

I must say, cheese is not only an awesome SM64 runner, but also just one of the Most wholesome persons on twitch

Bramble Scramble. A fine choice

Suigi just destroyed 1 star 2 days ago! What a monster

He'll probably be in for a quite fight with a lot of the other top players - especially if he can get to four out of five. Anybody who can take one back from him, even if it's just for a day, gets to be part of this story forever.

glad to hear a speedrunner be featured for being good, not cheating!

Love your videos man but I can't get over the fact that you lie to get into a magazine on golden eye several years ago when it didn't matter and it still doesn't matter because you're a videos are freaking awesome and factual and you've done a lot of good for the video game and Community,but I still can't get over it. I can't trust you anymore. I don't know what to believe if your lying who can I believe on RU-vid tell me I need to know. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! Sorry the original writer of this post ended up throwing himself off of a building and his opinions and thoughts are not thoughts and opinions of the current writer. The current writer very enjoy the content here within your Channel and has no gripes or problems with the fact that you lied years ago to get into a magazine for GoldenEye. Because your videos are factual honest and you have done a lot of good in the video gaming community and even helped exposed w a t a.

Weegee would literally be what Billy Mitchell thinks he was, a gaming rockstar legend.

I know this is kind of toxic to say and perhaps undermines part of the community, but, I just feel like I should be expecting a reveal of the cheating this guy has done to come out of no where and crush a WR by 15 seconds then hold other categories at the same time. I think that my trust is a bit harder to earn these days. Sorry. Edit: On a brighter note, solid video as always! One of the best youtubers imo

One thing about this video is that I think it undersells just how hard it is to take Suigi's WR in 16 Star. And with his recent WR.... it may have become impossible for anyone other than him to get 5/5. Weegee has been in the GOAT discussion even before his 120 Star WR because it was clear that his PB was massively below his skill level and purely gameplay-wise he was better than basically any other player.... except for Suigi. We don't really know Suigi's potential in long categories (although he got Top 5 in 70 Star in about a month of runs).... but with his new 14:3x and moving into 120 Star, I think it'll be time to get him in the discussion very soon.

Here's hoping the Mario 64 speedrunning community doesn't decide to be a pack of petty jerks and deliberately prevent him from achieving the all categories all records achievement like the mario kart community did in the past.

Watching weegees run live literally brought a tear to my eye, It was epic. Cheese will always be my favorite runner though.

Mario speedrunners on a whole another level.

Wata Games and Heritage Auctions should try to get their hands on Weegee's cartridge... I bet they'd value it fairly

You’re all great players in our big game of life. Have a happy holidays Karl, everyone. ♥️💚

I hope nobody will try to hoard his records all at once like in a CERTAIN racing game >:(

For the hand shaking, if you're still trying to find a way to solve that you could talk to a doctor about trying propranolol for performance anxiety, its often used for situations like presentations and stuff, there's a chance it could help here as well.

Video starts at 11:40. My guy has an 11 min run on sentence before then saying the same thing 64 different ways.

Incredible video as always, Karl. Thank you for amazing content!

What's the song at 4:22? It's unlocking a deep memory but not enough to remember where from D:

Really good video, as a sm64 speedrun viewer/amateur speedrunner, you did a really good job at highlighting what it means to be a top runner in both categories. This video gives a lot of deserved credit to weegee and really makes him stand out amongst other runners.

A full SM64 WR sweep would make for an awesome Summoning Salt vid ngl.

These people always sound so much more relieved than excited. It barely seems like a fair trade off of stress and suffering to victory and joy

I remember watching Cheese a few years ago say he was aware of Weegee and his ability to take #1

Karl, I’m not much of a gamer, let alone a speed runner but there’s something compelling about these videos you create, I think it’s the roasts you do on Billy Mitchell and the other litigious “record holder” you talk about.

Cheese is great, but I don’t think he’s the undisputed king. He is definitely the 120 star champion, but that (and 70 a few years ago) is only part of Mario 64. I think someone like Kanno or Dowsky has an equally solid argument at being GOAT for holding multiple of the (more difficult in my opinion) shorter categories at once. Or even someone like Liam who can hold so many single star records and also take the 120 world record.

I was just watching Summoning Salt's video on the 16 star record, with Weegee having played a pivotal role in that story. Crazy how good he is.

SIglemic wasn't just THE pioneer for M64 in the west, he also was for streaming in general, and proving that people will happily watch hours of hours of just attempts rather than just caring about the end result. People used to think no one wanted to sit around to see the grind for months without any new records.

Weegee is for sure a really good player and I was wondering if anyone else would notice how close he is to a category sweep. 16 Star is currently being destroyed by Suigi and he isn't stopping till 14:3X, so that's a tough record to get for sure. And I think Suigi might be going for 70 after that, so that would make it much harder for Weegee. 0/1 Star are records that Weegee has had before I think, so it is very much possible for him to take them back. 120/70 have lots of active runners though too, so Weegee could lose those at some point too. Either way, the fact that he could take all the records is insane, because of how Optimized SM64 as a whole is.

Dowsky and Weegee are at the top. Solid movement and mechanics.

I'm so glad we have Karl to point out the one bright spot in this world we live in. Kings among men. 👑

You know a run has potential when Weegee misses a throw

Weejee is amazing, no doubt, but my GOAT for speedrunning would have to be Matt Turk. He dominated the leaderboards on several games. Hell, it took the Punch Out community *5 years* to get all of his WRs in the hands of different players.

This man is my beacon of light to wade through all the bs content! Thank u so much, u are the best youtube has to offer!

I think you're downplaying the shorter categories a little too much. Saying that nerves and time investment don't play as big of a role because of the resets, when those resets are exactly what amounts to a huge time investment and stress level for good runs. You could even argue that some people would be hit with nerves harder in a short category where a single slip up means it's over whereas in longer categories small mistakes can be recovered from. In that way it's similar to rhythm games, where the run is only as long as a song but a single misinput ruins your combo. It leads to immense stress regardless of the length of the individual run, because the mental weight of all the prior, and potentially future, failed attempts is still there.

Siglemic is still the goat for me. He brought me to gaming livestreams and his record marathons and his first AGDQ appearance will stand for ever. Probably the newer players are better, but he paved the path for super mario 64. (And he was super funny.)

One person getting wr in one category in sm64 speedrunning is already insane enough of an achievement, let alone one person getting five! If this happens this will definitely be the best moment in speedrunning history

Imagine in like 1998 some guy coming to your house to play mario and were to put on feats like this. Pretty sure most people felt like a God in the game for just completing the game. lol

The best thing about speedrunning is it just keeps getting better. New talents and always people striving to be the best.

I started this video thinking you'd be talking about a SM64 hat trick but I figured that was too unrealistic. You've convinced me it's possible.

I wonder if this might spawn another friendly competition of Weegee vs the World for holding all the major records like there was for Mario Kart 64?

He might have got 2nd in 1 star and stopped so he could clean up the easier records once he got 120 star. This might be the smart move, once everyone knows hes gunning for all 5 there will be an uptick in activity. Karl may have doxxed his plan a bit here.

I don't really play video games and have never done a speed run. But these videos always make me interested in the sport and I end up admiring these guys and caring how their record attempts go.

Karl: "When I'm about to break a world record, my hands shake really badly" Me: investigates who Karl i actually is Me: "Oh." For any of y'all that don't realize, this mf nice with it. Like set world records hundreds of times nice.

Cheese's BTR 1'38"54 will always be my favourite record to watch. Closely followed by Simply's 1'38"28 WR with his parents coming in and hugging him. Both get the emotions going and are great examples of why speedrunning is so awesome

luigi is awesome

Take it easy,Karl. You definitely don't need a WR to be an absolute legends to us.

Come on Karl this kid can't be the greatest, bc the world knows that distinction belongs to the master Billy Mitchell 😆🤣😆🤣😆🤣 Awesome video as always 👍👍

How funny is it that two of the greatest Super Mario 64 speedrunners both have names that sound just like "Luigi." Mario's brother.

2:59 Complete Bull Sh!t ! We're smarter to know better!

I don't really run or pay attention to speedrunning, so thank you for reporting these stories for us, Karl!

Often when I'm at work I play your videos in the background and sit through all the ads. I hope it helps raise money for your lawsuit. I also went back and liked old videos.

A 1:15 improvement is insane, especially with no strategy changes. Major props to Weegee!

Honest question: is it normal for such high level players to miss the Bowser throws on occasion? Or is this a small little weakness of his? Maybe even just a funny coincidence for those few runs?

I've kept an eye on Weegee for a while now and he's been extremely promising for a while now

Suigi is gonna be the one to get all 5 records

Watching the movement in this game is always so impressive to me. The runners are so precise and I can't even walk straight.

"I'm not going to ask." No, you are just going to indirectly pressure him into doing it through a video with hundred of thousands of views, lol.

When Karl uploads, a Speedrunner shifts into second gear before the game even starts. This is the real world version of an angel getting its wings

Weegee is 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 1st in all the Mario 64 categories... thats best of all time shit especially how competitive the times are right now

You got yourself a great voice, cadence is top level you definitely put work into it

This guy is the one who would explain everything about the speed run (how it can fail and how likely it is to succeed) and simultaneously entertaining us with his soothing voice and in depth commentary

Dammit, always when I’m just about to sleep! This takes priority.

Dan Burbank already has all 5 records, he's just waiting til weegee gets 4 of them til he posts.

The greatest speedrunning achievment of all time is a 5.51 on Dragster, held by the absolute legend.

These guys are the best speedrunners but I would say the best all round mario 64 player is probably simpleflips
