A Bowser course select screen, long thought unused in Super Mario 64 DS, can actually be seen by performing an absurdly specific action: Yoshi must drown underneath the Hazy Maze Cave entrance. If his lifeless body floats up through the pool, the screen will be displayed.

I completed a Sandbox Mario 100% run with All Moons, 120 Shines, and 64 120 Star! This is... not a category I ever thought I'd run lol but learning All Moons purely from watching videos and making a powerpoint was surprisingly fun. Goes to show that studying the old fashioned way can work out lol

Sandbox Mario 100% done in 21:10:14 with Mario Odyssey All Moons in 13:43:02 (first run), SMS 120 Shines in 4:19:14 (-1:15 PB), and SM64 120 Star in 3:04:21 (+5:07 to PB, Rainbow Ride was a bruh moment)

it happened again man i have been putting so much time into this category with nothing to show for the past week but another choked run to a shine i really should not be messing up at all

1:30:11 in Super Mario Sunshine Any%. 2 seconds off PB. SoB is 1:24:39. The final split was golded. Sirena exit was +32, noki exit was +8.

Noki splits vs Balanced PB.
+9, +5, +3, +7 (eel), +5, +5, +16 (shadow mario)
then +2 to balanced after corona

Emily the Koopa @emilythekoopa.bsky.social · 09/05/2026

DUDE I could NOT be closer to getting sub 1:30 in Mario Sunshine. I was right there. Noki 7. Have only messed it up like twice this year but it loses 30+ seconds. 1:30:09. Just gotta keep going for it I guess. (right image is the new thumbnail about the very high stakes level Sirena 3)

Super Mario Sunshine in 1:30:09, a 52 second PB. Sum of Best is 1:25:28.

Stylized Mario and Hotel Delfino owner talking on the hotel steps. Hotel owner says "PLEASE help us man we can't find a pineapple this is REALLY important" and fludd is saying "Mario is this guy for real right now"

WHAAAT??? 23-minute 120 Shines PB in Mario Sunshine lmao let's go. actually huge to see some practice pay off. still could go lower but it's a very daunting run, maybe I'll try any% again for a bit first this is awesome tho i'm so hyped

Super Mario Sunshine 120 Shines PB in 4:20:30 (nice)
-22:51 to PB, SoB now 4:06:31

NEW LEDYBA! This card arrived today after I bought it for meeting a small twitch sub goal! This is my first card from the elusive Skyridge set, but the set has 2 Ledyba so I'll need to keep hunting! The 2nd Skyridge Ledyba is the final card I need before variants like reverse holo and 1st edition!

Ledyba 72 from Skyridge with Ledyba looking up from some grass at a cliff. there are 2 small flying ledyba in the background. The card has a thick left and bottom border with eReader codes

Happy birthday Super Paper Mario!! SPM turns 19 years old today, and as one of my first video games it has always meant a lot to me! I'd like to share some of my work that this game inspired, part of a set of SPM themed Tarot cards! I've made 6 major arcana cards so far but I might make more... 1/2

0: The Fool tarot card featuring Mario and Tippi overlooking a cliff (chapter 1-2)

I: The Magician, with Bestovius standing above a table and Dimentio upside-down below it in a strange alternate dimension

XI: Justice, with King Croacus, with his ... flower block hand things? taking the shape of a scale and the hilt of a sword

In Super Mario 64 DS, giant characters normally cannot crawl. However, reading a sign pounded halfway into the ground forces the character into a crawling pose. When giant, this results in the character's giant posterior completely blocking the entire screen.

this is such a good article. the speedrunning scene is one of the few gaming niches where I as a trans woman feel not just tolerated, but celebrated, and I credit GDQ's vocal support for us as probably the leading factor. this organization has had such a positive impact on me and so many others.

Last minute PB before the 770 starts lol (also got a 51s Odyssey pb this morning) the REDIBA layout is the one i used the entire run, comparing to none, formulated so that i had literally no way to see how i was doing past the timer itself lol

silly splits layout featuring the Ledyba gold foil card (written as REDIBA in big blue letters, as the card is japanese) made by a Japanese chocolate company?
the actual splits only show 2 splits, current and upcoming (or the last 2 since the run is over)
the final time of this Super Mario Galaxy 2 run was 3:42:42!

a PB screenshot with an actual splits layout, showing a run with a big swing near the end to go from +1:25 to -21 for a PB (despite being only -2 in the 2nd last level, flash black C)
3:42:42 PB! SoB is 3:27:18

new pb thumbnail lets go The details on this one are a little small to read in an actual thumbnail format, but as a piece of just "cover art" basically I do really like it. Also, this is my first time using the noclip website for a shot!

night sky over Pianta Village, with several very large palm trees visible. Mario is standing on one of the leaves in the foreground looking up at the sky. A constellation outlined with rainbow coloured lines spells 1:35:55. the top right corner says Super Mario Sunshine Any% PB.

Emily the Koopa @emilythekoopa.bsky.social · 19/01/2026

another SMS PB! this one by a lot more! knew I could PB if I even got a half decent run out of the early game, so I did continue even with a death in chucksters. a couple more deaths in this run so it's still very beatable, but I'm glad I made an improvement!

Super Mario Sunshine any% in 1:35:55, pb by 1:29

11 second SMS PB which means I get to make another thumbnail! critics are calling it "unique"

cutscene from Noki 3 in SMS where there's just a bottle floating above the clouds. text says Super Mario Sunshine Any% Speedrun next to the bottle. on the bottle it says 1:37:24. also the bottle is edited to be orange. its very funky and mysterious

Went to my discord to complain that in my hunt for the ◇◇◇ Tyranitar card from Ho-oh packs in Pokémon TCG Pocket, I've pulled the full art Tyranitar 3 times, and the ◇◇◇ Steelix 8 times (pulled both this morning). Then, in frustration, I spent the rest of my monthly shop hourglasses on Ho-oh packs-

"OH COME ON" with an image of me pulling a 9th Steelix

three thumbnails for a Pokémon FireRed Randomizer Race, with the game title screen in the background, a red gradient over it, pink "randomizer race" text in the top right, the firered girl trainer sprite in the bottom right, and some sprites of pokemon and trainers varying based on which part: part 1 has clefable facing seedot and wailord, part 2 has dewgong facing feraligatr, the rival, and giovanni darkened in the background, part 3 has ledyba facing sceptile and ho-oh
