About three weeks ago, blindfolded speedrunning prodigy Bubzia shared a newly discovered Super Mario 64 hack he predicted would change the game "forever," and a ridiculous new world record bears that out. As GR's resident speedrunning sicko Dustin Bailey pointed out then, the new trick is called the crackslide, and it renders a notoriously difficult maneuver that had previously been integral to the 1-star speedrunning category – that is, Mario 64 runs completed with only one star collected – completely trivial. Now, drumming-focused speedrunner (what a title) CZR now claims the new world record for the first-ever 1-star completion of Super Mario 64 using a drum kit "thanks to the new strat, crackslide!" New speedrun discovery "will change Super Mario 64 forever" by making "one of the hardest tricks in the entire game" completely trivial to pull off Super Mario Bros speedrunner is now just 11 frames away from the absolute perfect playthrough of the 40-year-old classic, after beating the world record for the third time this year Super Mario Bros speedrun legend returns to the most competitive category after $5,000 bounty and sets 2 world records in a day: "If this isn't proof that I'm him, I don't know what is" According to a comment corroborated by CZR, controls are mapped to the drum kit so that the different drum heads manipulate what would be the analog stick on a normal controller to decide which direction Mario moves in, and the outer rim of the heads is what controls the C buttons. How hard CZR hits the drum heads also matters, which just makes this whole feat even more impressive. Anyway, you can watch CZR's whole journey from Peach's Castle all the way to final boss Bowser in the video above, and at just 12 minutes long, I'd say it's worth a watch if only for the novelty and CZR's internet mandated "let's fucking go" at the end. Super Mario 64 runs on PS1 now, because nothing is sacred to modders: "The best reason to do something is simply because you can."
