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

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

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 :)

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 :)

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.

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!

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 🙏
