First PB of 2026! 8:08 in 1 Star, just need another 9 seconds off this to reach my 2026 goal. Shoutout time (7:39) is going to take some serious dedication, but that level of effort at least feels tangible after this run. Short runs are fun sometimes :)
Happy new year everyone! Here are my speedrunning goals for 2026: SM64 120 Star: 1:49 (the primary goal of mine this year!) 70: 52:XX 16: 16:2X 1: 7:XX 0: 7:XX and Complete Super Marihour, even if not under an hour ———— I think I can do more in 70 and 16, but want to focus on 120 first
Final wrap up of my 2025 SM64 goals: 120: 2:03:22->1:55:40 70: 57:53 (emulator)->55:00 16: 17:56->16:41 1: 11:35->8:25 0: none->none (lol) Very proud of myself on the SM64 front this year. 120 star continues to be my favorite and will be the focus again this year. More to come on 2026 goals!

I also have a goal to improve my Twitch stream quality to make it a more enjoyable experience for anyone who joins.
Year 2 of streaming was awesome! Just reached 300 followers which means I more than doubled my audience, and had lots of game variety this year. Wouldn’t be able to keep it up if it weren’t for the awesome people who stop in and hang out each stream. Let’s keep going fast in 2026 :)
3 and a half minute 120 star PB! 1:59:13->1:55:40. Tons of costly mistakes in this one, but the fact I pulled out this kind of run in spite of that tells me I have a lot more time save in me! This feels really good, 1:49 is closer than I realized. Do your stage RTA practice folks!
Little tiny PB, 1:59:19->1:59:13, and plenty of time save to work with still. This was just a no reset to keep the 120 muscles worked out, so I am glad it ended with some success!

We already took another second off! Make sure to stop in before I PB even more!

Slowly but surely getting a hang of this SMB1 run! 5:2X was the goal for the strats I started out with, and I achieved it with 5:27! Still need to push for consistent 5:1X for Marihour and I will need to upgrade strats for that. Only halfway through October so plenty of time to keep improving!
Time for more SMB1 runs to prep for Super Marihour! Will I PB today? Come by and see: www.twitch.tv/deadguydrives

16 star goal is completed! 16:41 in 16 star. This one felt ambitious to me going into the year, but as we got to SM64 league I realized it was much closer than expected. Super happy to get this done before I start Marihour prep. There’s more to achieve here but that’s for another time :)

Summer league is over, didn’t get a chance for final runs yesterday due to life being hectic but I PB’d 1 and 16 so I’m happy. My team did well! Always a fun time of year. I will be announcing my next speedrunning project soon, excited but just need some time to prep it. More Mario coming soon :)
Got a small 16 star LBLJ PB last night, with some real 16:XX potential showing itself. Would be really cool to meet that goal during league but I just gotta get consistent. One small mistake completely changes those short category runs.
17:38 in 16 star with no LBLJ! Second category I have PB’d in during league. Would love to trim some more time off this one or get my LBLJ PB lower. Knew this one was out there for me to get though so I’m glad I grabbed some points!
SM64 summer league is underway and I have gotten not one, but two 1 star PBs! I have more to squeeze out of this time, but it’s a great start! 9:55->9:05->8:25
Signups close tomorrow night! Still looking for pairs to sign up if you’re interested, or anyone who hasn’t speedrun before that wants to learn! I have a fair few unpaired prospective coaches so I’d be happy to find a match for a non-community member who wants to learn 🙏

first big pb since coming back! sorry to any captains that planned on drafting me tomorrow
They finally invented a guy who can get 14:4x THE PLAN: GRIND FOR SUB 14:45. THEN SHORT BREAK TO GRIND SMB1/CELESTE/YOSHIS STORY + MORE (STAY TUNED) TY 4 THE SUPPORT <3 and now this is part where we go somewhere better 14:52 -> 14:49 OFFICIAL RETIME 14:49.850 #GTMWINNING
It was a small PB, but took some serious focus and golds upstairs to make it happen. This goes to show how much potential I have to shave even more time off. Just in time for summer league 😎
Another All Story Missions PB! Having lots of fun with SHAR, and much closer to sub 1:50 than I realized.
Though it’s not really conflicting with the “sub 1:55” goal, I am updating this to be “work toward 1:49.” Of course sub 1:55 should happen as I work toward 1:49, but wanted to officially set 1:49 as my goal in 120. 16 will happen eventually 🤷♂️ 120 for 1:49 is the mission
