New world record for MCMG NES Trilogy 100%! I didn't think I would ever get this record, but since I got much more consistent at SMB3 this year, it gave me more confidence to go for it.
With this run I am now the first person to have held all 6 Trilogy world records for MCMG.

As of today, I am officially the first person to beat the original 5 Mario games on their original versions in under 4 hours. This is one of the most monumental barriers for MCMG speedrunning and I'm glad I did it on my first ever run! With loads time is 4:00:59.703.

I PB'd in SMB2J All Stages! 36:47 w/o loads. This is the 2nd game I've PB'd in this week for Pentathlon prep. Feeling really good about the 3:59 grind!
Unless I'm busy tomorrow afternoon, I will officially begin the grind to beat the first 5 Mario games 100% in under 4 hours!

Today was meant to be the last day of SMW prep for Pentathlon, and I ended up getting a PB out of the run! I "clean clipped" in FOI2 which lost ~40s.
With this run, I can still get a low 3:58! I'll spend this week derusting 2J+2U, and then Pentathlon will begin next weekend!

I finally got my first 1:27 no-reset run for 96 Exit! This run had 5 try FOI2 clip, and lost ~20 seconds in FOI1 from bad Yoshi grab. Lost 67 seconds total in w5, and another 25 in w7 to silly things. This time could get me a mid-3:58 in Pentathlon, a real confidence-booster!

Here's my first completed run since this past summer. I was still carrying a high 1:27 pace into part 2 of Vanilla Dome (~70min into the run), but took an unfortunate death in VD3 followed by one in SW1. Looking to get a mid 1:28 for 3:59 Pentathlon so honestly not a bad start!

Redeemed myself after Friday's disappointing run with a 1:11:10 in the SMB3 weekly 🙂 would've loved to have gotten an 0x but didn't keep pspeed in 8-1 and had a 2nd-try 1UP clip in BC. Didn't feel like running it back today but still happy to get some good practice in!

Finally got a complete run for SMB1 Engine 1 Warp with no hits in any of the games! Final time is 48:33 w/o loads. The run is still very improvable, my sum of best is ~48:12 w/o loads. I'm happy with this run though 🙂
11:36 Vs. SMB + 14:30 SMB2J + 11:29 ANN + 10:57 SMB1

Finished my first derust run for the tournament. Got hit in W2 airship, 3-2, 4-2, W4 airship, had to chase W5 box bro around and a death in 6-6. Pretty solid time all things considered. My goal for the tournament is to get at least one 1:11!

After some reflection, I concluded that I wasn't happy with the Mario 3 in this run. So I played a better world 1 + got 0 hands this time instead of 2! 😂 W/O loads time is 48:44! Very happy that I returned to this category tonight. 1+2J in this run was 0.1 off the WR. 😐

To me, this would be the ultimate Decathlon speedrun. Sub-7:30 would be the final barrier I'd like to break. And all the times are pretty reasonable (sum of times minus YI are 3 minutes slower than the new Warpless record, so I could almost achieve a 7:27/7:26 with a 1:49 YI).

Here is yesterday's Decathlon Warpless speedrun (RTA & LRT respectively). We've broken into (what is very likely) the final hour barrier realistically possible. In theory, humans can get under 7 hours, however the sum of WRs for all 10 categories is still around 7:00:30 LRT.

Nice improvement in All Five 100%. Only one death in the entire run which was in B-3 of Lost Levels. T'was a silly death too so 4:03 was almost a reality. Don't care enough to grind 4 hours again for a small improvement
Also forgot to file check SMW sorry mods. 🙃

5 years to the day after the very first MCMG Decathlon Any% speedrun was performed (clocking in at 4:54:18 with loads removed), we made the biggest world record cut in the category's history. The new world record is 4:09:03 with loads, and 4:06:41 without loads.

Until just now, I only shared it in a small discord server that myself and a handful of my buddies hung out in around 2020-2022. Said server is rarely used nowadays, but according to this screenshot, the game crash happened on the 18th of September, 2020.

Sometimes I think back to one night about 5 years ago where I was practicing SMB3 off my Everdrive N8 while using a pin connector to play on my AV Famicom, and then the game crashes. I don't think I've shared this before. Mario staring at you gives it the perfect spooky touch!

Last night I got 4:05:29 in SMAS All Five Games 100%. Most of the run was honestly not that great for me. Taking out SMW to make it an all four run, it would have been around 2:37:26. The good thing from this is that my All-Stars resume is now all podium ranking speedruns! :)

Crushed it!!! Jumped over 1:28 AND 1:27! My mid-game was super powerful for my standards. Lost a little bit of time towards the end, however there were virtually 0 big mistakes in this run. It is now time to do some multi-game speedruns! 😀👍
