It actually happened. 602 in under 19 hours. This is by far the best speedrun I've ever done and one of my greatest achievements in general. I can't believe I actually pulled this off after being so demotivated this past year and only coming back 2 months ago.

Super glad to have taken part in the Summer 2026 602 Race, achieving a massive pb, plus PBs in 64, SMS and Galaxy 2 somehow. Super proud of this one and glad I pushed through to the end even if it was sorta rough at times.

Calum @calumj28.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

Super glad to have gotten 2 big PBs in both Galaxy Games before the 602 Race!! Lowered sum of PBs to 22:2x now. Far more prepared for the race now. Just need to practice Boulder Bowl 1 again, something I never thought I'd be saying...

we're so back on July 25th I chose to draw a poster for the 602 Race as I've enjoyed drawing stuff lately! It took over a month (sms took like half the time lmao) but I'm very proud of the final product!! This is the first time I've done an online drawing this major so I hope you like it!!

3DW tourney's coming up and I'm feeling a lot more confident about it. This goal time's definitely gonna be really tough though. Got a 1:44 today and I felt that was really good, somehow gonna need to get 5 more minutes out of it... I'll just see where things go from here, best way of doing things.

000

Calum @calumj28.bsky.social · 24/05/2026

8th goal time! SMO went mostly pretty well, SMS was a complete meltdown, and 64 went way better than I thought it would. Super proud I managed to push through. My stream kept cutting out due to internet issues so these vids are gonna have to be stitched together weirdly. I'll see how I can do that.

Calum @calumj28.bsky.social · 21/05/2026

huge AM PB, super proud of this one. Did a bunch of prac and glad to see it paid off way more than I expected. Sandbox hundo going down on Saturday

Calum @calumj28.bsky.social · 18/05/2026

120 star pb in the big 26 >>> sandbox hundo prep coming along nicely, last piece of the puzzle later this week

020

Calum @calumj28.bsky.social · 16/05/2026

goal time number 7! officially bronze any%! Was having a mental crashout with this category as I felt like I wasn't able to get a goal when it was so painfully close. i do not like this category lmao, least amount of fun ive had of all the goals so far tbh

030

Calum @calumj28.bsky.social · 09/05/2026

Huge 120 Shines PB after lots of bad runs. Long overdue, super happy with this run even if I didn't sub 3:50.

010

Calum @calumj28.bsky.social · 18/04/2026

Sandbox Race that ended 40 minutes in from fish clip just not working, decided to do a salty runback. Mental was terrible in SMO, then SMS wasn't much better, then I proceeded to get my 2nd best 64 and popped off. 6th Multi-Mario goal and one of my greatest comebacks ever

000

Calum @calumj28.bsky.social · 16/04/2026

Finally got this after nearly a week of grinding! 5th Multi-Mario Goal Down!

010

Calum @calumj28.bsky.social · 22/03/2026

Done the 540 Race... I guess I couldn't expect much being so rusty. That 246 was yikes to say the least. At least I pb'd SMO somehow. SMO: 1:11:22 (-15) 3DW: 1:51:18 (+3:05) SM64: 1:05:43 (+4:11) SMG1: 2:41:23 (+1:33) SMS: 1:33:41 (+5:17) SMG2: 3:28:08 (+5:41) 246 - 8:50:19 (+11:01) YEP

Calum @calumj28.bsky.social · 11/03/2026

big Champion's Any% PB for Mar10 Day! Gotten a bit better at these games in the past year. Niche little category that was made up by @ryderstarshine.bsky.social sub 6 eventually!

Calum @calumj28.bsky.social · 26/02/2026

THE SMS GOAL HAS BEEN ACHIEVED Completely destroyed 1:29 and got a 1:28 instead!! After a bruising end to a first run that died to King Boo, and several hours more of resets, I finally got an insane run that broke 2 minute barriers! Thanks to everyone who believed in me =)

010

Calum @calumj28.bsky.social · 22/02/2026

Easily my best multimario run, the culmination of months of work. I can't believe how well I played. Didn't just get sub 12, but demolished it. SM64: 1:01:40 (+8) SMG1: 2:39:50 (-1:09) SMS: 1:33:25 (+2:23) SMG2: 3:22:26 (-2:26) SM3DW: 1:50:20 (+2:07) SMO: 1:15:19 (+3:42) 246: 8:39:18 (-16:07) !!!

Calum @calumj28.bsky.social · 19/02/2026

such a bittersweet pb. SMO went alright, SMS was acceptable but SM64 was really bad. Should've been able to 3:4x this but games were like "nah" Maybe will try again for the races in April, but will probs prac 64 a lot shoutouts to robi, kas, cheesy and emily for doing this race too =)

010

Calum @calumj28.bsky.social · 17/02/2026

Huge PB in G1 completely out of nowhere! This game was tough on my mental for a while but after a long practice sesh (and a few resets) I got a really good run. Only big mistake was losing Sea Slide Comet but am happy with how solid this run was. 2:3x eventually.

010

Calum @calumj28.bsky.social · 14/02/2026

132 done for 540 derust! G1 had a good first half but I had a meltdown in second half, and especially the last level when I thought of quitting. Game just really hates me. Then had an out of the world g2 after World 2. SMG1 Any% - 2:46:05 (+2:51) SMG2 Any% - 3:24:52 (-1:29)

030

Calum @calumj28.bsky.social · 25/01/2026

holy this run was INSANE, no major mistakes for the whole run I am NOT beating this anytime soon

010

Calum @calumj28.bsky.social · 21/01/2026

how? Just when i decide to do one offline run for gold cleanups I pull the godrun... mostly. Except for 2 deaths in 7-7 and a silly mistake in 8-2, rest of the run was super clean. I was just expecting a 1:51 or smth not a 1:49 already! Idk how I popped off this hard

030

Calum @calumj28.bsky.social · 18/01/2026

Hugely glad to have gotten 1:11 in this game! Lowered PB by over 2 minutes in just a week. This run misses 2 cycle mecha wiggler too lmao, I thought it was over after Night Metro but got a goated 2nd half

020

Calum @calumj28.bsky.social · 28/12/2025

Super glad to have taken part in yet another 602 Race! Snagged a 20 minute PB despite having not ran either Galaxy game's hundo since the last race. Sunshine did hard carry this one, that grind clearly paid off. Really proud of this, sub 23 in the future maybe :O

010

Calum @calumj28.bsky.social · 22/12/2025

let's go! second multi mario goal time obtained. Had a super good first half and eventually got scared I choked it in a horrendously bad Ricco. Just barely clutched it though! Super proud of this just before 602!

020

Calum @calumj28.bsky.social · 13/12/2025

Huge 120 Shines PB. Super surprised considering I had a pretty bad first halt, losing over 2 minutes in Pinna but had a great second half. Had to stream on my old laptop since my new one has a really hard time streaming fsr without crashing my laptop

000

Calum @calumj28.bsky.social · 13/12/2025

We're so back with another one, December 27th =P

020

Calum @calumj28.bsky.social · 09/12/2025

Huge double pb in one evening! SM64 was surprising PB considering I hadn't done a 120 in months, and SMS was from lots of practice even with some silly mistakes. Super proud of both of these!

010

Calum @calumj28.bsky.social · 07/11/2025

First All Moons Run in a while! Huge PB to get a good start to 1862 Prep... god help me

040

Calum @calumj28.bsky.social · 05/11/2025

First ever Darker run! Had to modify the powerpoint to make the route more able for me to do. Had its highs and lows but glad to sub 5.

010

Calum @calumj28.bsky.social · 05/11/2025

just barely missed 1:32 but will take a pb considering I was a minute behind outta Pinna

010

Calum @calumj28.bsky.social · 04/11/2025

First Dark Side Run in a long while. As it turns out actually knowing where things are helps a lot. Nearly died in mech at the end from the 3rd phase NAILS

000

Calum @calumj28.bsky.social · 25/10/2025

sandbox with barely any prep SMO - 1:15:54 SMS - 1:34:31 SM64 - 1:03:39

Calum @calumj28.bsky.social · 23/10/2025

WTF! This was meant to be a derust then I PB'd by a minute LMAO Long overdue pb tho just wish i recorded it

010

Calum @calumj28.bsky.social · 28/09/2025

A rollercoaster of a run start to finish, but glad I clutched it out. Getting closer to that sub 12... Game Times: SMO - 1:14:59 (+1:07) SM3DW - 1:52:57 (+42) SM64 - 1:05:06 (+2:19) SMG1 - 2:43:13 (-45) SMS - 1:35:54 (+2:07) SMG2 - 3:31:51 (+4:54) 246 Time - 8:57:34 (+2:09)

040

Calum @calumj28.bsky.social · 22/09/2025

Haven't got a PB in this game for a while. Did a lotta offline practice for this so at least happy I got somewhere with this game for the 540 soon.

010

Calum @calumj28.bsky.social · 31/08/2025

Near the end of Galaxy 1, I was contemplating quitting the run, since the game ended pretty poorly, but then SMS went super well, and motivated me to get a G2 I'm genuinely astonished of. Considering how little prep I did, I'm so surprised at how I got sub 9, and by a big margin too.

010

Calum @calumj28.bsky.social · 20/07/2025

Let's go dude! Huge PB and sub day in the Summer 602 Race! Played out of my mind this time, still in disbelief as to how I played so well for a whole day. SM64 - 2:19:56 (+1:58) SMG1 - 6:29:11 (-1:16 PB) SMS - 4:16:32 (+2:14) SMG2 - 10:20:00 (+56)

040

Calum @calumj28.bsky.social · 30/06/2025

"calum, how's the 602 derusting going?" Me:

040

Calum @calumj28.bsky.social · 26/06/2025

Let's go! Massive PB in 242 to seal off a fantastic month of 602 prep. Started the month with a mid 24 estimate now at a Mid 23, and ready for a good shot of sub day in the 602. Not sure what I'll do over the next few weeks to be totally honest.

030

Calum @calumj28.bsky.social · 22/06/2025

The 602 is so back! I usually make posters every 6 months for the race, so I hope y'all like this one. Fun Fact: The levels were picked by a Random Number Generator, and I originally used a different Slipsand image for SMG2, before I found a higher resolution one. =P july 19th

0102

Calum @calumj28.bsky.social · 12/06/2025

Absolutely astonished with this run. Can't believe I pulled off such a good 120 Star Run, after all the practice I put in. Funny thing is this is 10 minutes faster than my SMG1 120 Stars at the moment. Only really got Greens then SMG1 to go, then sub day might just be round the corner.

030

Calum @calumj28.bsky.social · 01/06/2025

Will attempt another 540 either tomorrow or the day after, depending if I'm feeling up to it. Won't take it super seriously this time, just as a mental reset perhaps.

000

Calum @calumj28.bsky.social · 31/05/2025

After two recent races, my motivation to even run the Mario Games atp has plummeted, and so will probs be taking a break from running them. Maybe 602 I'll take a lot less seriously since I don't want to keep feeling miserable all the time in these runs by not living up to increasingly high standards

020

Calum @calumj28.bsky.social · 09/05/2025

Since uni's been consuming loads of my time I've kinda got a plan for 602 prep SMS - Late May to Early June SMG2 - Most of the rest of June SM64 and SMG1 - until Mid July Will likely do a 246 or 540 the week before 602 race

020

Calum @calumj28.bsky.social · 01/04/2025

Really proud of this 540 PB, 3 PB's and nearly 2 hours better than my first 540 just under a year ago now. SMO: 1:16:39 (+1:23) 3DW: 1:56:56 (+2:02) SM64: 1:04:59 (+2:14) SMG1: 2:46:33 (-1:41) SMS: 1:38:37 (+3:01) SMG2: 3:34:53 (-1:16) 246 Time: 9:06:28 (-8:44) completely carried by G2 lmao

110

Calum @calumj28.bsky.social · 24/03/2025

Finally done a first all moons run! It took insanely long and mentally ruined me but we somehow endured. Gonna have to go all in on this category over the next few months unforch

040

Calum @calumj28.bsky.social · 08/03/2025

Finally got sub 4 in Sandbox Any%! I've wanted this for a while now so so happy to have gotten it! Grinded a lot of SMO and SMS over the last year so glad to see it all paid off! Individual Game Times: SMO - 1:15:15 (-1:00) SMS - 1:36:16 (-39) SM64 - 1:04:06 (+1:19)
