I wanted to wait to announce this until it was accepted to the leaderboards. I am OFFICIALLY world record holder in the Multiple Classic Mario Games category extension, Hexathlon! I may be the only one who has submitted a time, but that just means I've done something no one else has ever done 😎

Tonight I got 2 PBs IN THE SAME TIMEFRAME. I got a Marihour PB (1:34:27->1:08:55) AND I got an SMB2 PB INSIDE OF IT (10:20->10:16)!! I was LITERALLY IN SHOCK to the point that this super enthusiastic response happened:

I PBed on Tuesday in Marihour! 2:00:00->1:34:27!! Almost a 26 minute PB. Really tightened stuff up, got fewer game overs, but lost a bunch of time as well, which means there is TIME SAVE FOR LATER, and by that I mean today because we're running it back this afternoon/evening!!

When you look at your old-cover-letter text document and it's a list of everywhere you can find the classic Super Mario 64 enemy, the Amp.

Tab next to "Tax Stuff" and countless "new" documents in Notepad++. The tab is called "old-cover-letter" and contains the following text:
Amp Locations:
DW (5)
All on the way up
SSL (3)
Pyramid Near bottom circling under cage
Pyramid near top on shifting stairs - 2 spawn
VCUtM (1)
Jumping over the side wall makes this faster
WDW (5)
High water is helpful
SL (1)
Right near spawn
BitFS (2)
One near the end of the first layer
one near flamethrowers on final layer
TTC (2)
Need a moving clock, one on hand
One near pipe
RR (2)
One to the right of spawn
One on Carpet Route (Head toward 8 reds, go up, warp point, sideflip wallkick up)
BitS (3)

I haven't posted updates, but I learned the final game for Marihour, Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels. I set an initial time of 28:00 then 14:03 same day. A few days later, I set an 11:30, and yesterday set an 8:51 (retimed), with a Loads Removed Time of 8:45! I'm 5 seconds off my goal of 8:40!!

Screenshot of the end of a speedrun of Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, which was a new Personal Best, showing a time of 8:55. It also shows several gold times (5-1, 6-1, 8-3, and 8-4), displaying that the final gold in 8-4 was -19.8 seconds. In the frame of the game, Mario stands next to Peach, and there is a poem on the screen which says:
"PEACE IS PAVED
WITH KINGDOM SAVED
HURRAH TO MARIO
OUR ONLY HERO
THIS ENDS YOUR TRIP
OF A LONG FRIENDSHIP
100000 PTS. ADDED
FOR EACH PLAYER LEFT."

Last night I PBed by 1:17 (11:37->10:20) in SMB2 Any%, and I achieved my goal time of 10:20 ON THE DOT! That's 5/6 individual game goal times completed before I start the Marihour challenge. The last game remaining is The Lost Levels!

I'm so glad they finally made a chonky pikachu plush that looks like the original sprite from Red/Blue

A screenshot of the pokedex entry for pikachu which is cropped only to show pikachu's number, "No. 025" and its sprite, which is a comically-chubby, smiling, striped mouse with rosy cheeks and a lightning bolt shaped tail who has rays coming out of it like the sun. The whole image is monochrome green because it's a Gameboy game.

Work-in-progress minimalist neon input display for use with an SNES Pro controller for RetroSpy. I wanted to make it similar to the popular N64 neon input display, but with US-style SNES controller colors. Lots left to do to make it functional, but here's roughly what it'll look like!

SNES Pro Controller Input Display. There are buttons for L, R, zL, zR, the D-Pad, Select, Start, as well as X, Y, B, and A, with a color scheme and layout similar to the USA SNES controllers.

The grind doesn't stop just because the power is out

Learned Crackslide today and got decent enough at it to try it out in runs. Feels like it could get decently consistent, but we'll see how it's feeling as I do it more (also pictured: need to derust Fire Sea and Sky)

1 Star splits showing a time ending at 11:14, which is +2:41 on PB, notably with +1:03 for the "SBLJ" split time

This person's face when they make accusations and subsequently realize they have to prove the accusations for anyone to take them seriously

A screenshot isolating the center area of the map Any_Austin showed in a video he made about Vice City. The section of the map in question looks like a person's face which has an expression of shocked embarrassment

I got BACK TO BACK PBs in That Which Gave Chase tonight (28:47->28:44->28:37)! I'm really excited about how I've been playing; despite feeling like I hit a wall, I PBed twice AND golded multiple splits for multiple seconds tonight. Never give up!

Falling_Tacos @fallingtacos.bsky.social · 03/09/2025

[Noise Warning] Earlier tonight, I got a new SMW 11 Exit Cloud PB (12:29->10:36)! I FINALLY got the cloud kill, AND I bopped my "real" 11 Exit PB (glitchless PB was 11:37)! This run ended up being within 11 seconds of my Sum of Best, which is insane to me. (I am so sorry for screaming)

Falling_Tacos @fallingtacos.bsky.social · 22/08/2025

I PBed today (11:51->11:33), and achieved my overall goal in SMB3 Any% NWW of a mid 11:XX! So pumped to have gotten this run. Finally got a run with no hands and good movement all around. Revisiting SMW 11 Exit next!!

The image is a screenshot from a livestream. In the bottom left corner, Falling_Tacos sits with his hands on his head and a look of joy on his face and an air conditioner behind him with light coming in from a window. A timer displays 11:33.5, which is -17.4 total seconds from the previously listed PB. The end screen of Super Mario Bros. 3 takes up the majority of the screenshot; Mario is looking at Peach, who he just reached, and there are several chat messages overlaying this with GGs and LETSGO Twitch emotes.

I got THREE PBs tonight in SMB3 Any% No Wrong Warp!! 12:46->12:39->12:35->12:08! SUB 12 IS INCOMING

Falling_Tacos @fallingtacos.bsky.social · 08/08/2025

MY FIRST EVER FIREFLOWER KILL IN A RUN AND A NEW PB!! 12:58->12:46! This run had TWO HANDS TOO (rip Air Force split), so realistically I could low 12 with no hands and a good run.

Falling_Tacos @fallingtacos.bsky.social · 22/07/2025

Got two new PBs in SMB3 Any% No Wrong Warp tonight after an initial PB yesterday, 17:37->17:14->15:05! I'm getting close to my initial goal of sub 15 (goal courtesy of DrewdyBoy). We're looking to grind this time down to a sub 12, there's still lots left to do!

Okay so like I was like "who is Hunter Schafer and why does Zeas think this person should be Zelda" then I saw this picture of a person who is very clearly a Hylian.

Hunter Schafer with a middle part and ears out. She looks like Zelda idk how else to describe it bro.

For posterity in case this ever changes, here is a screenshot, also nice.

A screenshot from the Super Mario 64 120 Star Console leaderboard on Speedrun dot com. It depicts 5 positions on the leaderboard, and in the center is badroenis's 1h 42m 14s time in 69th place. Nice.

Went to Go Fest today with two of my brothers and it was a blast. Did lots of challenges, caught a bunch of pokemon, and generally vibed. Also saw the statue of liberty from a distance so I HAD TO hold it up quick.

A picture in a field depicting, from left to right, Falling_Tacos, Pokermarine24, Venusaur, Anariodin, and Ally. There is also a pirate ship in the background and a Statue of Liberty.

Anariodin and Falling_Tacos are both pretending to hold up the statue of liberty through forced perspective with Anariodin several feet away from doing it correctly. Pokermarine24 is also in the photo, smiling.

Today I DESTROYED my end goal time of 28:XX in Blast Corps Any%, 29:35 -> 28:26!! I'm starting the Mario Kart 64 derust. Looking for a sub 40 time, this will be a grind!! Thank you everyone for watching the Blast Corps grind, I've cemented the top 10 time I was looking for for the foreseeable future

Tonight was my second night of Blast Corps derust runs and I got my goal of sub 30!! I still want to grind for the 28:XX, but I'm SO STOKED DUDE (I had to be quiet bc it's quiet hours in my building but you can read the popoff lmfaooo)

I finally got the 28 in That Which Gave Chase last night. As The Scientist says, "It is the journey itself which draws us. Give your life to the pursuit of one thing and your hard work will be rewarded." This is my last minute barrier for now, thank you to everyone who came along on this journey.

This morning I found out I lost WR, and shortly after started runs for the day. This evening I found a new skip and I broke 3 more minute barriers with it, skipping 30 in the process! (32:36 -> 31:19 -> 29:41 -> 29:34) Looking for 28 next!
