First ever Darker run! Had to modify the powerpoint to make the route more able for me to do. Had its highs and lows but glad to sub 5.

just barely missed 1:32 but will take a pb considering I was a minute behind outta Pinna

First Dark Side Run in a long while. As it turns out actually knowing where things are helps a lot.
Nearly died in mech at the end from the 3rd phase NAILS

Haven't got a PB in this game for a while. Did a lotta offline practice for this so at least happy I got somewhere with this game for the 540 soon.

Near the end of Galaxy 1, I was contemplating quitting the run, since the game ended pretty poorly, but then SMS went super well, and motivated me to get a G2 I'm genuinely astonished of. Considering how little prep I did, I'm so surprised at how I got sub 9, and by a big margin too.

Let's go dude! Huge PB and sub day in the Summer 602 Race! Played out of my mind this time, still in disbelief as to how I played so well for a whole day.

SM64 - 2:19:56 (+1:58)
SMG1 - 6:29:11 (-1:16 PB)
SMS - 4:16:32 (+2:14)
SMG2 - 10:20:00 (+56)

"calum, how's the 602 derusting going?"

Let's go! Massive PB in 242 to seal off a fantastic month of 602 prep. Started the month with a mid 24 estimate now at a Mid 23, and ready for a good shot of sub day in the 602. Not sure what I'll do over the next few weeks to be totally honest.
June 26, 2025 at 8:55 PM
The 602 is so back! I usually make posters every 6 months for the race, so I hope y'all like this one.

Fun Fact: The levels were picked by a Random Number Generator, and I originally used a different Slipsand image for SMG2, before I found a higher resolution one. =P

Absolutely astonished with this run. Can't believe I pulled off such a good 120 Star Run, after all the practice I put in. Funny thing is this is 10 minutes faster than my SMG1 120 Stars at the moment. Only really got Greens then SMG1 to go, then sub day might just be round the corner.
June 12, 2025 at 7:11 PM
Will attempt another 540 either tomorrow or the day after, depending if I'm feeling up to it. Won't take it super seriously this time, just as a mental reset perhaps.
June 1, 2025 at 6:43 PM
After two recent races, my motivation to even run the Mario Games atp has plummeted, and so will probs be taking a break from running them. Maybe 602 I'll take a lot less seriously since I don't want to keep feeling miserable all the time in these runs by not living up to increasingly high standards
May 31, 2025 at 5:42 PM
Since uni's been consuming loads of my time I've kinda got a plan for 602 prep

SMS - Late May to Early June
SMG2 - Most of the rest of June
SM64 and SMG1 - until Mid July
Will likely do a 246 or 540 the week before 602 race
May 9, 2025 at 9:55 PM
Really proud of this 540 PB, 3 PB's and nearly 2 hours better than my first 540 just under a year ago now.

SMO: 1:16:39 (+1:23)
3DW: 1:56:56 (+2:02)
SM64: 1:04:59 (+2:14)
SMG1: 2:46:33 (-1:41)
SMS: 1:38:37 (+3:01)
SMG2: 3:34:53 (-1:16)

246 Time: 9:06:28 (-8:44) completely carried by G2 lmao

Finally done a first all moons run! It took insanely long and mentally ruined me but we somehow endured.

Gonna have to go all in on this category over the next few months unforch
March 24, 2025 at 12:05 AM
Finally got sub 4 in Sandbox Any%! I've wanted this for a while now so so happy to have gotten it! Grinded a lot of SMO and SMS over the last year so glad to see it all paid off!

Individual Game Times:
SMO - 1:15:15 (-1:00)
SMS - 1:36:16 (-39)
SM64 - 1:04:06 (+1:19)

On March 8th, I will be doing SMO All Moons. 15 likes and it becomes an 100% run. 15 reposts and it becomes a Sandbox 100% run. If both get met, I will do Sandbox 100% with SMO 100% instead of All Moons.

We are so back this December. So excited to take part in the 602 Race once again!!!
