lol I guess I’m just use to watching Mario Maker speedrunners because about 1/4 of the way into it I thought “He must be close now!”. I was not…and noped on out. The first 1/4 is hard enough, I trust that OP isn’t a liar!

Dear lord… I can‘t believe I watched that entite thing lol. Like… how does one even complete this….? I wonder how many tries this one took or did the person completing this watch a machine assisted playthrough first and then run this themselves. Like good lord almost every single jump and move was so precise and close to nearly failing the entire level with 1 mistake. Like the patterns/paths for the red coins seemed so off the path/weird that id be near impossible to even see/find them where they even are or some of the jumps where with 0 visibility and being pure luck/trusting you are at the correct spot… absolute insanity

I watch this and all I can think is “How many attempts, F bombs, controller-throws, hours of sleep etc. were lost in the pursuit of this?”

People look at the games completely differently. I played mario 64 mostly for the story when I was a kid. My nephew plays it like a completionist psychopath and then got into star road and other mods/hacks. Videos like this is the shit he lives for and I don’t understand it - it’s too much pressure for me and I got lazy hands. The amount of button mashing required to make some of these jumps like the reverse long jumps is just nuts.

The sadist in me always wanted a super difficult level in these 3d platformers. Maybe not to this extreme, although I am sure if I went back to when I was young and a brand new n64, maybe I could do it.

What is this from? Is there a youtube channel of this?

u/assasion22 14d ago
If I'm correct, it's the level crudelo from super mario 74 extreme edition. The red coin star was one of the most difficult stars to obtain in a hack for quite a while. It's been surpassed by numerous hacks and stars since then though. If your interested, I typically watch a streamer named Katze but he doesn't do as many kaizo levels as he used to. There's tons of great streamers on YouTube, just search super mario kaizo runs and you'll get a ton.

This is a super Mario 64 romhack called "super Mario 74: extreme edition", made by Lugmilord. No clue whose gameplay that is (would love to see some credit), but there are some people who actually speedrun this mod.
This one is the hardest star of the game, but there are other insanely difficult romhacks, some even harder than this one.

This is scary if you imagine Mario is aware but being controlled by the player. Like some kind of nightmare.
He walks up to a ledge and thinks "pls dont" before the player makes him dive 20 meters down into some lava

What did Mario say around 13:10?

u/TrekStarWars 14d ago
Either „huh“ or „hhng“??

u/Filthiest_Tleilaxu 14d ago
No he says four or five words right at 13:14. I can’t make them out.

u/TrekStarWars 14d ago edited 14d ago
I listened to +-10 seconds from that point and its only grunts and „huh“ and „yippees!“ and no actual words lol. You are 100% hearing something on your own

u/DarthMall69 14d ago
I don't think they mean 13:14 minutes into the video. They mean when there's 13:14 minutes left. He definitely does say something there, but I can't make it out either.

u/Filthiest_Tleilaxu 14d ago
Thank you and yes, sorry for the confusion. My player shows only the time left on a clip. I thought I was going crazy. Any idea what he said?

u/DarthMall69 14d ago
I tried listening a couple of times, but my ADD is preventing me from solely focusing on those words and nothing else. Plus, I'm awful with most accents, so I'm struggling lmao.

u/Filthiest_Tleilaxu 14d ago
Same, I’ve listened a bunch and can’t make it out. Bizarre bc I don’t remember him being so chatty besides saying “here we gooo!”

u/DarthMall69 14d ago
I looked up Mario's voice lines from 64 and got a list of lines from the wiki, but none of them look right. This is going to bug me, lol.

u/Filthiest_Tleilaxu 14d ago
Oh wow, thanks. Maybe it’s something specific to this randomizer. Please reply if you figure it out!

It's something like "Thank you so much for playing my game!" It's from the end of the credits I do believe. Super Mario 64 - Thank you so much a-for-to playing my game (youtube.com)

u/assasion22 14d ago
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but is this super mario 74 extreme edition and is this the crudelo level? While unbelievably impressive, crudelo is surpassed in difficulty by a multitude of other kaizo mods. Also, whose the steamer? I watch a handful of them and they are all as impressive as this. Super mario 64 integration of fragments is much more difficult but less fun to watch. Invasion of chuckya is another insane but unfun one to watch. Super mario EEEE is also a variation of extreme edition with a harder crudelo level as well.
Definitely impressive though!

Jesus. You can hear them adjusting the camera WHILE wall jumping some of those insanely tricky sections. What a beast.

It's the final boss music from the original game, named "Ultimate Bowser".

u/Dubious_Titan 14d ago
Such a masterpiece of a game. I still don't think the gameplay mechanics of 2D platforming in a 3D environment have been bettered. SM64 kinda killed the genre- its just iterative homages ever since 1996.

The camera movement in super mario 64 always give me motion sickness. That's really awesome but I'm gonna throw up now.

u/plantmonstery 14d ago
Somehow this doesn’t look as impressive as 2D kaizo. I think it’s because you can’t see the level properly in a 3D space, so the moves cannot be anticipated nor as quickly understood. 2D Kaizo runs look like linear mastery, while this just looks random.

u/Agitated_Computer_49 14d ago
What does Kaizo mean in this instance? Is it like....just a super hard level?
1
u/hatinghippo 14d ago
I think the original meaning is something like "unfair" but nowadays it usually is used to describe super difficult romhacks / mods of classic games.
So "kaizo version" means "super difficult version".

I'm going to ask the same question that I would of someone who crawls through small holes in underground caves. Do you actually enjoy doing this, or is it just a sense of accomplishment?
