honestly i wonder if something like this would help me even for non-touchscreen speedruns (64ds) cuz my new3dsxl with the capture card is just so heavy 😭 it's possible i gain access to a 3d printer at some point this year tho so ill think about it

unlikely, but i wonder if the sequence of inputs used could be loaded into different levels to see if they work better there, or better yet, be used to reverse engineer how levels used to look while in beta 🤔

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)

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

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"

Super Mario Sunshine 120 Shines PB in 4:20:30 (nice)

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

but like it doesnt look that bad from the front, just a few creases, i mean if i still had my copy it would probably look like that by now anyway right? and i was able to get it for $20 cash plus a full art pikachu from surging sparks (not the SIR thats worth like way more lol)

Emily the Koopa @emilythekoopa.bsky.social · 08/02/2026

im so so happy i got the full art Reshiram cuz its a card I had as a kid and dont have anymore and then recently the price skyrocketed; most of the people there had it selling for like $230 cad which is ridiculous, but then i saw this one for $40 cad!!!! because it was heavily played-
