Today’s game is Mario Kart 64. It was a long day today so i decided to kick back and just take it easy. So, this was my first choice. I did the Mushroom Cup mainly today. It was feeling like a Train kind of mood, you know? Sometimes all we need to really make a good day is a train.

I got first place in all of them. I did mess up a little on the first cup because i kept accidentally hitting Print Screen instead of F12 to take a screenshot and that would freeze up my entire thing, but i adapted quickly and caught up in first place by the second lap.

On Koopa Troopa beach i kept accidentally drowning Toad while trying to get screenshots though. I wouldn’t be surprised if he lost a few brain cells from being deprived of oxygen. Sorry Toad.

While playing through this i realized the version in World is vastly different, i don’t know if it’s a bad kind of different or just a different kind of different. But it was something i noticed. I suppose if i didn’t notice it’s just different different, but who knows.

Anyways, i did the entire cup and came in first. Overall, relaxing way to spend my evening. It’s fun to kick back and relax with a game that is very basic and fundamental like this. It’s very low stress. I’d recommend it to anyone looking to try new ways to kill some time for the evening.

    Damn. I wasn’t there for launch but that about sounds like a Mario Kart glitch. I remember when I first found out about Wii’s super shortcuts. That shits crazy

        I have actually! His 0 Star Super Mario 64 video is one of my favorites. It motivated me to try and speedrun the game for like a week before throwing in the towel lol

          Aww man at least you gave it a go 😆 I don’t know how people can get that good at games, it’s insane to a filthy casual such as myself

            It’s crazy. I got as far as clipping into the pillars in Peach’s Lobby and then got stuck on the BLJ (and that’s the easiest part). Having the skills to do that is some insane human level shit. I’ve always had huge respect for speedrunners.

                I don’t watch many anymore admittedly, but outside of Super Mario 64 i’ve always found Minecraft and Portal Speedruns to be interesting. The OG Mario Bros. ones are too just because of how the scene is now
