One intrepid Super Mario 64 player with far more skill and patience than I can ever hope to obtain has done the once unthinkable.

      Jokes aside, a lot of devs love watching stuff like speedrunning. It means someone loved their creation enough to minutely analyze it and spend countless hours with it.

      eg check out the devs watching a guy beat Psychonauts https://youtu.be/lsDc1YVxHA0?t=517

      (I’m pretty sure there was similar version of this where they guy wasn’t in the room and they were just watching the earlier recording of the speedrun but I can’t find it now)

    For anyone wondering, this was done on the virtual console version, so the floating point glitch that lets you skip the climbing pole from Bowser in the fire Sea is available.

    The A Button Challenge still stands for the console versions.
