Game news He achieves a feat on Super Mario 64, more than 27 years after the release of this cult video game

Mario the solo drummer

This week was the 2024 edition of Awesome Games Done Quick (ACDQ), a sort of English-speaking equivalent of SpeeDons. A week of speedrunning to raise money for charity. And this year again, online spectators and the public present on site were able to witness phenomenal performances.

This is particularly the case of that of CZR, a speedrunner who decided to finish Super Mario 64 using a battery. The musical instrument. A real spectacle, which can be found in its entirety on the Games Done Quick YouTube channel.

An already famous speedrunner

To carry out this run, CZR decided to play on the Japanese version of the game, while “remapping” the controls on its battery. For example, the different toms and drums on his drums allowed him to move Mario according to his stick strokes. It’s very fun to watch, not unpleasant to listen to and above all it reminds us to what extent speedrunners can show ingenuity in order to set new records.

To tell the truth, CZR is already known by speedrunning enthusiasts. The player already holds the record on Super Mario 64 in the 16 Star Drum% category with a time of 19 minutes and 48 seconds. This time, he failed to repeat the feat. That being said, the performance remains incredible enough to pique our interest, and certainly yours.
