Bubzia, the blindfolded speedrunning specialist, is grinding a new category in Super Mario 64. Earlier this week, he embarked on a run that immediately turned to a disaster, replete with deaths, missed tricks, and bad jumps. It turned out to be a new world record.
Early in October, Bubzia completed a 118-day grind for a new world record in the blindfolded 16-star category with a sub-20 minute world record that the community once thought was "completely impossible." His new goal is a fresh world record in the blindfolded 70-star category, and to practice for that he's first grinding attempts in the 31-star category. Pretty much all of the 31-star tricks carry into 70-star, so attempting world records on the shorter category makes for a perfect way to practice the new tricks and routing that'll be essential for the bigger goal.
