Lost the 7 to a bonk in BitS. But it's coming soon

DeadGuyDrives @deadguydrives.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

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 :)

I feel as though I can end up in a top 100 leaderboard position for 120 star someday. I don’t plan to rush it, I’m not going to count my chickens before they hatch, but I don’t think the itch to grind and improve will go away until then at the earliest. 5/5 shoutouts being the other goal.

120 star is still the only run I feel long term passion for, with other SM64 main categories taking second. The other games I run capture my attention in the short term, but I always want to go back to SM64. I’m going to really lean into that passion this year, taking breaks as I have done as needed

I have a feeling I’ll want to run SHAR again, as ASM scratches a similar itch to 120 star. Marihour always lurks in the back of my mind. But this hobby of mine needs more fluidity in my mind, particularly from the perspective of feeling like I *need* to do one thing or the other.

DeadGuyDrives @deadguydrives.bsky.social · 01/01/2026

Over the past year, I had lots of goals for myself across many games. However, I kept coming back to SM64. I want to give myself the room to move back and forth between speedruns as I feel moved to do so, with the knowledge that my brain will always steer me back to SM64.

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

I also had a cool year of improving my speedrunning abilities as a whole! I learned how to speedrun Earthworm Jim, MediEvil, OoT, DK64, Simpson’s Hit and Run, and SMB1 (honorable mention to Elmo’s Number Journey). I also started my journey toward completing Marihour, which I’ll continue in 2026.

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!

DeadGuyDrives @deadguydrives.bsky.social · 14/12/2025

And the other part of this is not feeling bad for ignoring chat for a bit. They want you to do well during hard parts of the run, so it’s really the best for everyone.

010

DeadGuyDrives @deadguydrives.bsky.social · 14/12/2025

I’ve been working recently to really take my focus away from chat during times in the run (like 100 coins) where I need to lock in to my routine, from stage entry to star grab) and let my muscle memory work uninterrupted. Some sections of runs are easy to just chat in, but others need more intention

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!

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!

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 :)

The end of Super Mario 64, with my timer reading 16:41 and me really excited about it

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.

020

DeadGuyDrives @deadguydrives.bsky.social · 24/08/2025

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!

DeadGuyDrives @deadguydrives.bsky.social · 19/08/2025

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 🙏

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.

This got me curious so I checked into the LC High Quota thing. They removed that category from the SRC leaderboards and it has its own website now.

DeadGuyDrives @deadguydrives.bsky.social · 22/06/2025

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
