02:49

bothered trying but then we arrive in

02:53

2017 when the main character of our

02:55

story comes onto the scene neet Busia

03:04

Busia had seen players like Runner guy

03:06

2489 and 360 crism play blindfolded 3D

03:10

games before and it inspired him to see

03:12

what he could do in Super Mario 64 bubs

03:16

has started by figuring out a few basic

03:18

Stars blindfolded from there he expanded

03:22

to the rest of the game he slowly built

03:24

up his skills throughout

03:26

2017 and finally by October he was ready

03:30

to try for the First full game

03:32

completion of blindfolded Super Mario 64

03:36

here's how he did it first off this was

03:39

a 16st star run of the game collecting

03:42

at least 70 stars is the intended

03:45

glitchless route but that was not going

03:47

to happen with a blindfold on instead

03:50

bbia performed a popular speedrunning

03:52

route collect 16 of the easiest stars

03:56

then tackle a couple glitches to skip to

03:58

the last stage that was much more

04:00

manageable than going for 70 Stars right

04:04

from Bub's first inputs you can see his

04:06

General strategy he ran forward until he

04:09

heard Mario hit the wall then turned

04:12

right and kept going it was slow but

04:15

these inputs were hard to mess up and he

04:17

eventually made it to the cut scene in

04:19

Bob on Battlefield bubz worked on

04:22

getting to the top of the mountain for

04:23

the first star he used the camera angles

04:26

to his Advantage he'd run forward till

04:28

he hit an object then carefully adjusted

04:31

the camera and kept moving forward this

04:34

normalized his movement and lined him up

04:36

so he'd always end up running to the

04:38

same place every

04:41

time after gradually inching his way up

04:44

the slope he got to use audio techniques

04:47

on the boss he backflipped to pick him

04:49

up then counted the audio of Mario's

04:52

footsteps to know when he was in the

04:54

middle this lined him up so he was

04:56

perfectly underneath the star when it

04:58

spawned bbia ended up collecting three

05:01

stars in B on Battlefield and they all

05:04

followed the same idea very simple and

05:07

safe setups to reliably work his way

05:09

through the map he then headed to wamps

05:12

Fortress where he ultimately picked up

05:14

five more stars he used a plethora of

05:16

strategies to get these slowly back

05:19

flipping up the long ramp running from

05:21

wall to- wall and even using a bit of

05:23

muscle memory his setups were so

05:26

normalized that whenever something went

05:28

slightly Off Script he usually couldn't

05:30

recover and either died or restarted

05:33

this happened nine times throughout W's

05:36

Fortress bbia continued through the game

05:39

slowly but surely collecting Stars while

05:42

a lot of his strategies looked safe they

05:44

required an unbelievable amount of

05:46

memorization and skill to do

05:49

blindfolded none were harder than the

05:51

Bowser stages he needed Inside Out

05:54

knowledge of the level to ensure he

05:56

could platform without looking he had a

05:58

clever SCP strategy for the Bowser fight

06:00

Itself by constantly letting go and reg

06:03

grabbing his tail Mario gradually moves

06:06

forward eventually you'll collide with

06:09

the bomb and skip having to somehow aim

06:11

a Bowser throw without being able to see

06:15

after an hour and 25 minutes bubs had

06:18

collected 15 Stars he had a precise

06:21

setup to grab myips the rabbit and then

06:23

counted Mario's footsteps to know when

06:25

to turn through the hallways to clip

06:28

through the doors bub Zia had more

06:30

setups that involved reg grabbing mips

06:33

repeatedly they worked and Bub Zia was

06:35

through both doors after a few minutes

06:39

but then he arrived at the hardest part

06:41

of the entire run Bowser in the fire sea

06:45

there are so many cycles moving objects

06:48

and obstacles all over the place that

06:51

even with the best setups bbia couldn't

06:54

consistently make it through he had a

06:56

few smart strategies to help by

06:59

listening in the silly kicks he could

07:01

tell where the platform was in its cycle

07:04

a longer distance between each Kick

07:05

meant it was moving

07:08

down and a shorter distance meant it was

07:11

moving

07:12

[Music]

07:14

up and later on by back flipping onto

07:17

this box bub Zia knew that even if he

07:20

took damage in the lava he was lined up

07:23

with the heart so he could recover safe

07:25

strategies like these helped but it

07:28

still took BB had nearly an hour to get

07:31

through fire sea with 11 deaths along

07:34

the way but eventually he cleared the

07:37

level and after 2 and 1/2 hours he was

07:39

in the home stretch next up were

07:42

backwards long jumps and there was no

07:44

big secret to doing these blindfolded he

07:47

just had to line up and hope his mashing

07:49

got him through the door and up the

07:50

stairs and finally Bowser in the sky

07:55

it's quite similar to fire SE in that

07:57

there's several Cycles you have to deal

07:58

with the hardest being the two elevators

08:01

right at the very end but thanks to a

08:04

combination of back flips audio cues and

08:07

normalization setups bubs had made it

08:10

through after three deaths the final

08:13

Bowser fight requires three throws and

08:15

bubsy's strategy for the first two was

08:17

letting Bowser run at him then dropping

08:20

him right into the bomb but that's not

08:22

an option for throw three so he had to

08:26

just randomly spin Bowser and hope he

08:28

hit a long one random throw away from

08:32

history being

08:40

made first try okay okay calm down I

08:44

need to connect this Stu calm down guys

08:47

calm down

08:48

[Music]

08:55

guys please man please should be to the

08:59

left two back flips or one back

09:07

flip no no no that's not good that's not

09:11

good

09:14

yes we did

09:18

it yes

09:22

guys we did it bbia had shocked the

09:26

world he could literally beat Super

09:28

Mario 64 with his eyes closed probably

09:31

one of the craziest gaming achievements

09:34

ever now his run did take over 3 hours

09:38

and he either died or restarted 33 times

09:41

across the game there was room for

09:43

optimization if bbia so desired but he

09:47

didn't he was the only person in the

09:50

world capable of doing this and he was

09:52

happy to move on with his life but

09:55

little did bubs know while he was

09:58

working on his 16 star run there was

10:01

another player on the other side of the

10:03

world doing the exact same thing zerf

10:08

neither player knew of the other's

10:09

existence and Bub's completed run came

10:12

as a big surprise to zerf he was still

10:16

working on individual Stars this other

10:19

guy was way ahead of him but zurf wasn't

10:22

deterred he talked with bbia learning

10:25

some of his strategies while improving

10:27

on his own he found different routes to

10:30

take and ways he could complete certain

10:31

Stars Faster by the time he started full

10:34

game runs in early 2018 he was a much

10:37

improved player zerf ended up beating

10:40

Bub's run by a few minutes on February

10:43

2nd and a month later he took a full

10:47

hour off the world record Mario 64

10:51

completed blindfolded in an hour and 58

10:54

minutes a big part of the Improvement

10:57

was the fact that zerf simply died less

10:59

than bbia he had to restart just 15

11:02

times across the run compared to busia's

11:05

33 but his route through the game was

11:08

also quicker for one thing he opted to

11:11

collect both Peach slide Stars he had a

11:14

fairly safe strategy to leap over the

11:16

edge and make it to the end before 21

11:18

seconds that's fast for a blindfolded

11:21

star he also switched out a couple stars

11:24

in hazy maze cave to save a bit more

11:26

time but beyond the route changes

11:29

zerf was simply faster than bbia he used

11:33

more audio cues to his Advantage for

11:35

instance in the Bowser stages he could

11:38

tell where the rotating platforms were

11:40

based on what part of the background

11:42

music was playing and just all over the

11:45

Run zurf strategies were a bit riskier

11:48

running up a slope rather than back

11:50

flipping and using fewer

11:52

setups meanwhile as zerf was lowering

11:55

the Mario 64 blindfolded record bubo was

11:59

working on other blindfolded games most

12:01

notably Pokemon and Kingdom Hearts he

12:04

planned to come back to Mario 64

12:06

eventually but if nothing else these

12:08

other games were still helping him

12:10

improve as a blindfolded speedrunner he

12:13

picked up on different blindfolded

12:14

strategies and ideas while he played and

12:18

as the months passed bubs realized there

12:20

was one technique that might really help

12:23

with Mario

12:24

64 something that would make his

12:26

movement look much more fluid almost

12:29

like he was playing with his eyes open

12:32

that fall Busia came back to Mario 64

12:35

implementing a trick called beat

12:38

counting beat counting is essentially

12:41

using the background music's beat as a

12:43

metronome to time your inputs to now

12:46

it's important to note that this isn't

12:48

the same as a music CU that's where you

12:50

wait for a specific moment in the song

12:53

to use as a

12:54

[Music]

12:57

queue instead beat counting is Simply

13:00

Having a consistent frame of reference

13:02

in this case the beat of the song to

13:04

help time different

13:09

[Music]

13:13

inputs for example you can run forward

13:16

then know to jump after three beats then

13:18

press jump again after four more beats

13:21

and so on this can help make otherwise

13:24

brutal sections become nearly trivial as

13:27

it replaces insane muscle memory with

13:29

consistent inputs beat counting was

13:32

first implemented in Super Mario 64 by a

13:35

player named Katon who used it in his 70

13:37

star run it helped him all over allowing

13:40

for fluid movement that looked like a

13:42

visual player at times after seeing it

13:45

utilized in other Speed games bubs

13:48

decided he had to try using it in 16

13:51

star so in September 2018 he came back

13:55

to Super Mario 64 he wanted to see how

13:58

much time he could take off of Z surf's

14:00

record of 1 hour and 58 minutes how much

14:03

could beat counting

14:06

help well right away bubs has saved time

14:09

on the very first star he picked up a

14:12

box and navigated into the corner of the

14:15

gate by beat counting by then setting it

14:17

down on top of Mario's hitbox he got

14:20

pushed behind the gate and was able to

14:22

collect the star this is an obscure old

14:25

trick known as box clip and predates the

14:28

more traditional bomb clip used in

14:29

modern visual runs new strategies with

14:33

beat counting were used throughout the

14:34

game often these helped big time with

14:37

consistency as well as being faster the

14:40

slide in cool cool Mountain was now beat

14:43

counted and bubs had a safer myips grab

14:45

thanks to beat counting too but the

14:48

biggest time saves with beat counting

14:50

were the Bowser stages especially fire

14:53

SE as you recall this is probably the

14:56

hardest level in the run it took zurf

14:59

over 17 minutes to get through it in his

15:01

world record but here bbia used a beat

15:05

count for the entire stage developed by

15:08

katun highlights included a section in

15:10

the Middle where he navigated without

15:12

adjusting the camera since he couldn't

15:14

see anyway there was no point in

15:16

changing the camera angle he still knew

15:19

exactly where to go pbia flew through

15:22

the whole level and ultimately he

15:25

completed it in Just 2 minutes a

15:28

15minute time save over zurf that's the

15:31

power of beat counting pubo was cruising

15:35

the Run was far from perfect but after

15:38

demolishing fire se he knew he was way

15:40

ahead of zf's world record he couldn't

15:43

see his exact pace of course but he knew

15:46

it had potential to be a big record the

15:49

backwards long jumps went well and

15:51

thanks to beat counting and other audio

15:53

cues Bowser in the sky was quick too

15:56

once again it all came down to hitting

15:59

this last bowser throw and then he could

16:02

find out just what type of pace this

16:04

really

16:06

[Music]

16:08

was yes

16:16

yes

16:17

Su 53

16:20

yes

16:24

yes

16:26

yes this was ahead of even his Wildest

16:29

Dreams Not only was it sub hour but it

16:32

was sub hour by several minutes the

16:35

whole game beaten blindfolded in 53

16:38

minutes the Run did have its slow

16:41

moments he died a handful of times and

16:44

the worst part was when he had to

16:45

intentionally drown to restart in dire

16:48

dire Docks but being able to cut a world

16:51

record in half did not happen very often

16:55

this was everything bub Zia wanted and

16:57

more beat counting had changed

16:59

blindfolded Mario 64 forever but once

17:03

again Bubsy had decided this was a good

17:06

place to stop despite there still being

17:08

room for improvements he remained

17:10

interested in exploring other

17:12

blindfolded speedruns so he stopped

17:15

playing and for the next year his

17:17

blindfolded world record remained

17:21

unchallenged but of course bubo wasn't

17:24

going to stay away for long 16 star was

17:27

his bread and butter and if you've seen

17:29

my other videos generally people who

17:32

dominate a game can't help but come back

17:34

to it time and time again bub Zia wanted

17:37

to see just how low he could take the

17:39

Blindfolded record so after a 10-month

17:42

break he spent the summer of 2019

17:45

rerouting the Run changing up the Stars

17:48

a bit and trying to optimize his

17:50

strategies by August he was ready to

17:53

start up runs again and over the course

17:56

of just 11 days he did

17:59

[Music]

18:11

[Music]

18:24

[Music]

18:26

this I'm not happy man I'm not happy at

18:33

[Music]

18:45

[Music]

18:51

all no wa

18:55

it wo wo

18:59

you kidding

19:05

me

19:13

[Music]

19:26

dud oh my God

19:33

[Music]

19:42

[Music]

19:54

an unbelievable grind thanks to a

19:57

combination of beat counting incredible

20:00

muscle memory and a ton of skill bubs

20:03

had beaten Super Mario 64 blindfolded in

20:06

under 40 minutes this run had one big

20:09

mistake during myips he got lost and had

20:12

to quit back to the menu it cost about 2

20:15

minutes so a 36-minute run would be the

20:18

limit but there were no major mistakes

20:21

anywhere else 38 minutes was incredibly

20:25

optimized for this type of run it was

20:27

exact ly what he was looking for bbia

20:31

really was the king of blindfolded Mario

20:34

64 hardly anyone else had tried it and

20:37

those who had were well behind him he

20:40

could do with his eyes closed what

20:41

others couldn't do with their eyes open

20:44

and this 38-minute run was his

20:46

magnumopus

20:47

bbia was finally done with the grind no

20:51

one else even approaching his

20:53

times and then 3 weeks later something

20:57

very interesting happened completely out

21:00

of the blue a new submission appeared

21:02

for the Blindfolded Mario 64

21:05

leaderboards the player's name was

21:07

nobori

21:08

56 and he was claiming to have performed

21:11

a 35-minute blindfolded run a new world

21:15

record nobody in the community had heard

21:18

of him before and having someone brand

21:20

new instantly claim a big world record

21:24

was suspicious to say the least and when

21:27

the community watched his run it only

21:29

got stranger he wasn't beat counting at

21:32

all in fact it seemed like nearly

21:34

everything he did was muscle memory he

21:37

looked an awful lot like he could see

21:39

what was happening on screen at least

21:41

somewhat blindfolded speedruns can be

21:44

easy to fake if you can get any Vision

21:47

through your blindfold it makes the Run

21:49

magnitudes easier this was a tough one

21:52

to call maybe nobori was just an

21:54

unbelievable blindfolded gamer or maybe

21:58

he was a cheater over the following few

22:01

weeks nobori continued submitting runs

22:03

and gradually everything became

22:07

[Music]

22:12

clear noori was 100% legit and he was

22:17

actually that good so here's the thing

22:20

with nabori he has an absolute knack for

22:23

developing muscle memory once he does a

22:25

trick with his eyes open it doesn't take

22:27

much practice until he can consistently

22:29

do it without looking therefore the idea

22:33

of beat counting never even entered his

22:35

mind and he was able to perform nearly

22:38

everything faster even right from their

22:41

first movements in the castle you can

22:43

see the difference bubs had to set up

22:45

his moves and work his way to the first

22:47

door but noori adjusted the camera at

22:50

the perfect moment to do

22:52

[Music]

22:55

this basically indistin isable from a

22:58

visual Runner how about getting to

23:00

Peach's

23:05

slide genuinely impressive even with

23:08

eyes open it was more of the same with

23:10

the Stars nobori went for super fast

23:13

strategies no beat count setups

23:16

necessary even though he died a few

23:18

times the time save for moving faster

23:21

more than made up for it but as you

23:23

might expect the place that nabori

23:25

improved the most was the Bowser stage

23:28

when Busia played Bowser in the sky he

23:31

kept moving but didn't do anything too

23:33

flashy super impressive for being

23:36

blindfolded but nobody would mistake it

23:38

for a

23:39

speedrun noori on the other

23:43

[Music]

23:49

hand standing left side and elevator

23:52

Skip it's really hard to believe that

23:54

all this is possible while blindfolded

23:57

but in in case there's any doubt theori

23:59

couldn't see at the end of every run he

24:01

took off his 18

24:03

blindfolds no way anyone could see

24:05

through all that he was simply so much

24:08

better than any other blindfolded player

24:11

he was running while the rest were

24:12

walking nobori had achieved a 26-minute

24:16

blindfolded run of Super Mario

24:19

64 simply inconceivable just a few weeks

24:23

ago there's one more moment of noor's

24:26

run I want to talk about the final

24:28

Bowser throw right at the very end this

24:31

throw had a few different strategies

24:33

over the years bubsy's initial method

24:35

was to just blindly throw and hope it

24:37

hit a bomb but zurf realized that since

24:41

the whoosh sound occurs at the same time

24:43

in every spin you could sink up your

24:46

joystick to the spinning and know

24:48

exactly when to release Bowser to hit a

24:50

[Music]

24:54

bomb this was the strategy that bubs had

24:57

preferred to use use but noori took it a

24:59

step further and used something else

25:01

that zerf had found by pausing during

25:04

the whoosh sound you can listen to the

25:06

Echo and judge whether or not Mario is

25:08

facing the

25:09

[Music]

25:12

bomb if he's not then you simply unpause

25:15

and try again but if he is then you can

25:18

immediately unpause and throw Bowser

25:21

it'll hit the bomb every time this is a

25:24

brilliant example of turning a seemingly

25:26

impossible t

25:28

Landing a blindfolded Bowser throw into

25:31

something relatively consistent even

25:34

though he was Miles Ahead of everyone

25:35

else nobori still felt he could save

25:38

time over his 26-minute run he died a

25:41

couple times and had a particularly slow

25:43

myip grab so a few months later nobori

25:47

came back and improved the record to 25

25:50

minutes a run that would have been even

25:53

faster had he not failed to grab

25:55

Bowser's tail and had to redo the fight

25:58

and just two days after that noori made

26:01

one more Improvement this run was truly

26:05

incredible from start to finish he

26:07

collected the first 11 Stars quickly

26:09

with no substantial time losses he died

26:12

once in hazy ma cave but it didn't cost

26:14

him badly his myips grab was

26:17

instantaneous right in front of the door

26:20

his Bowser stages were all fantastic his

26:23

bljs were super quick and on the last

26:25

fight he grabbed Bowser tail and landed

26:28

the third throw no retries

26:34

[Music]

26:40

needed 24 minutes is a genuinely

26:43

respectable time with your eyes open

26:46

noori had optimized this run to insane

26:49

standards hard to believe it was all

26:51

actually

26:52

possible as for bubs it was tough to

26:56

accept what had just happened he'd been

26:58

the king of blindfolded Mario 64 for

27:01

years and noori had demolished all of

27:04

his times when bubs had tried doing

27:07

theori strategies he could eventually

27:09

pull most of them off but his

27:11

consistency was poor definitely not good

27:14

enough to complete a full run with them

27:17

bbia had to accept that he wasn't going

27:19

to be beating noor's record for the next

27:22

year blindfolded 16 Star had no activity

27:26

there was no point when the world record

27:28

was this good players focused on other

27:30

categories with less optimized records

27:33

and unsurprisingly noori took the top

27:36

spot for those too just pure domination

27:41

but eventually everything calmed down

27:43

noori stopped playing and the rest

27:46

didn't bother trying to beat his times

27:48

it almost felt like he had killed

27:50

blindfolded Mario

27:52

64 but then in October 2020 buban

27:57

managed to get at 16 star into that

27:59

Year's awesome Games Done Quick this was

28:01

the first time anyone would be showing

28:03

off blindfolded Mario 64 on such a big

28:06

stage Busia may not have been on noori's

28:09

level but he wanted to put on a good

28:11

show so he knew he had to get

28:16

practicing bbia didn't have any

28:18

illusions of trying to take the record

28:20

instead he focused on playing for fun

28:23

looking for new strategies and not

28:25

taking things too seriously and maybe he

28:28

can improve a bit on his 38-minute PB

28:31

since noori's crazy muscle memory

28:34

strategies were out of the question bubs

28:36

focused on beat counting strategies he

28:39

found faster ones in W's Fortress and

28:41

cool cool mountain and on Bowser in the

28:44

sky beat counting allowed him to make a

28:46

faster elevator cycle at the start but

28:49

despite lots of practice he was still

28:52

slower than noori and he was dying more

28:55

the improvements slowly started to come

28:57

in first a 37-minute run and then nearly

29:01

a month later a 35-minute run both of

29:05

these had substantial time losses on the

29:07

bljs so bubs knew he had the potential

29:09

to go a few minutes lower but this is

29:12

exactly what he was looking for even if

29:14

he wasn't competing with noori it was

29:17

still nice to see some

29:18

improvement and as the weeks passed bbia

29:21

kept getting better his movement was

29:23

faster and he was dying less often he

29:26

started going for laat to skip sometimes

29:29

it wasn't very consistent but getting it

29:31

at all while blindfolded was amazing

29:34

bubsy's potential was much faster than

29:37

35 minutes if he could just string it

29:40

all together in a

29:42

[Music]

29:51

run fast mips okay it's very good okay

29:55

please be AJ dude it will come down to

29:57

The BJs

30:00

dude I'm

30:06

up oh my God this defense up 30 this was

30:10

a fantastic run for bubs he nailed

30:13

nearly all of his strategies and had he

30:15

not missed a throw on Bowser and had to

30:17

restart the Run would have been a

30:19

sub30 but still it was a great

30:22

Improvement he wasn't quite on the

30:24

boris's level but he was getting closer

30:27

even though it took months to get here

30:29

this was a clear Improvement noori

30:32

hadn't played the category in a long

30:34

time maybe bubs had the chance to close

30:37

the gap even more but instead right

30:41

after bubsy's new PB nobori came back

30:44

it's me

30:46

[Music]

30:56

Mario

30:59

[Music]

31:00

he made it seem effortless noori's

31:03

strategies Were Somehow even faster than

31:05

before to get to the top of W's Fortress

31:08

instead of teleporting he jumped off the

31:11

slope while sliding to make it up he

31:14

switched up a few stars and had a

31:16

brilliant strategy to hit the Talon star

31:18

in shifting sandland and most

31:21

importantly it was just incredible that

31:24

he was doing all this while blindfolded

31:27

occasionally he'd have a moment that

31:28

looked obvious like when he struggled to

31:31

collect stars that were right in front

31:32

of him but he'd turn around the next

31:34

moment and do something like this

31:38

mindblowing bubs had improved yes but he

31:41

was not on the B's level it almost

31:44

seemed like he could lower the record at

31:46

will but he decided to stop here with

31:50

the world record down to 23 minutes

31:52

nabori had once again killed the

31:55

competition and blindfolded 16 star bbia

31:58

knew he wasn't beating this nobody was

32:01

beating it so instead he spent much of

32:04

2021 focusing on a new challenge routing

32:08

a blindfolded 120 star run this was a

32:12

massive undertaking and took up most of

32:14

his gaming time throughout the year yet

32:17

even though he wasn't playing the more

32:19

competitive category in 16 star working

32:22

on 120 star still helped him improve at

32:24

the game he was optimizing the Stars for

32:27

Speed and as a result found some new

32:30

strategies for instance in Bob on

32:32

Battlefield he found a consistent setup

32:35

for bomb clip the iconic trick he used

32:37

to get behind the fence quickly it saves

32:40

20 seconds and looks pretty darn

32:42

impressive given its performed

32:44

blindfolded after practicing 12 star for

32:47

several months bubs came back to the

32:49

game's shorter categories in late 2021

32:52

quickly sweeping through each one to

32:54

lower his PBS in 16 te star he managed

32:58

to get a 28-minute run featuring his new

33:01

tricks still slower than noori

33:04

especially in the Bowser stages but a

33:06

decent Improvement after this he went

33:09

back to working on 120 star and noor's

33:13

record remained as safe as ever at this

33:16

point he had held the record for more

33:17

than 2 years bubs hadn't been able to

33:20

catch him and nobody else was within 15

33:22

minutes of him as 2022 came around it

33:26

was really seeming like this was nibor's

33:28

record to keep he could simply do things

33:31

with a blindfold on that nobody else

33:33

could at least nobody who had tried so

33:36

far the only hope of beating noori was

33:39

somebody new coming along who had their

33:42

own set of incredible blindfolded skills

33:46

someone like

33:51

Hyman in late 2021 Hyman became

33:55

infatuated with blindfold olded Super

33:57

Mario 64 that September he became just

34:00

the third person to beat the game

34:02

blindfolded in under an hour by January

34:05

his time was down to 35 minutes and by

34:08

March he lowered his PB to right behind

34:12

bubs impressive improvement from a

34:14

relative newcomer to blindfolding gaming

34:17

hendy's play style was like a hybrid

34:19

between Busia and nobori he didn't beat

34:22

count with numbers but didn't fully rely

34:24

on muscle memory either many of his

34:27

fastest strategies involved music cues

34:30

he'd mess around in a level with his

34:31

eyes open and figure out how to time

34:34

certain actions to the music eventually

34:37

he'd find a series of inputs that gave

34:38

him the best consistency and practice it

34:41

relentlessly until he could do it

34:43

blindfolded hendy got really good at

34:46

this and it paid off with a 28-minute

34:48

run he fell behind bubs while collecting

34:51

the Stars since he died a few times but

34:53

he was actually faster than bubs down

34:55

the stretch it was gold split after gold

34:58

s split for myips fire sea and Bowser in

35:01

the sky after hitting the last throw on

35:04

Bowser he knew he had a big

35:09

[Music]

35:10

PB let's go holy a couple months later

35:15

hendy got on another good run it started

35:18

with both lacu Skip and bomb clip and

35:21

then he gained big time in Bowser in the

35:23

Dark World unfortunately he struggled

35:26

and then died in hazy ma cave died twice

35:29

in fire sea and died on Bowser at the

35:32

very end that's four deaths yet he still

35:36

pbd by a full minute and moved ahead of

35:40

bbia into second place hendy had gotten

35:44

really good despite several minutes of

35:46

time loss the rest of his run was so

35:49

fast that he couldn't help but PB

35:52

hendy's movement and speed was

35:54

incredible and it was honestly starting

35:56

to look a lot like nobori the only thing

35:59

he didn't have was noori's

36:01

consistency these mistakes made up the

36:04

bulk of the difference it was safe to

36:06

say that Hy was officially a world

36:09

record Contender and over the next few

36:11

months things would get quite

36:14

interesting hendy started practicing the

36:16

last few tricks he needed to learn like

36:19

standing left side and elevator Skip and

36:21

most importantly he worked hard to build

36:24

his consistency he knew that he had the

36:27

skills to get this world record he just

36:30

needed to hold it together for long

36:32

enough and get it all to line up in one

36:35

[Music]

36:39

run I don't know what just happened I

36:43

think I fat fingered

36:44

[Music]

36:47

a

36:50

[Music]

36:55

dude

36:57

[Music]

37:00

yeah you did Super Mario 6416 star 26

37:06

[Music]

37:21

minutes you did Super blindfolded in 25

37:24

minutes and 11 seconds

37:29

[Music]

37:54

you did Super Mario 64

38:00

that's three days in a row hendy was

38:05

closing in this was a 24-minute run with

38:08

two deaths and other scattered time

38:11

losses throughout there was easily a

38:13

minute worth of improvements he could

38:15

make but hendy was getting exhausted

38:18

doing hundreds of runs with your eyes

38:20

closed gets monotonous and he enjoyed

38:23

looking for strategies more than he

38:25

enjoyed doing runs

38:27

so even though he was so close hendy

38:30

decided to take a break from 16 star and

38:33

instead focus on blindfolded one star an

38:36

even shorter

38:38

category meanwhile bbia was watching

38:41

everything hendy did in 16 star he was

38:44

amazed at how close he'd gotten to

38:46

nobori and after completing the world's

38:48

first blindfolded 120 star run in May

38:52

bubo was ready for a new challenge he'd

38:55

improved so much while on on the 120

38:57

star grind and had gotten especially

38:59

good at searching for new strategies bub

39:02

Zia had turned into a new player his old

39:05

28-minute PB and 16 star was in a

39:08

distant third place in July 2022 he

39:12

embarked on a quest to change that bubs

39:15

still couldn't rely on muscle memory as

39:17

heavily as nabori that meant his game

39:20

playay would generally be a bit slower

39:22

as he had to set things up more but if

39:25

he can make up the difference with

39:27

faster

39:28

strategies maybe he had a chance at this

39:31

he and hendy found new tricks all across

39:33

the run like triple jumping off the wamp

39:36

while going up top and long jumping

39:38

straight across the Gap in Dark World

39:41

these small improvements began to add up

39:43

but the Heavy Hitters were in the final

39:45

two Bowser stages bubs found a beat

39:48

count to reach naor's elevator cycle in

39:50

fire SE cutting out his muscle memory

39:53

strategies while matching his speed and

39:55

name Bowser in the Sky bbia decided he

39:58

had to commit to going for everything

40:01

standing left side elevator Skip and

40:03

even doing a triple jump dive onto the

40:05

rotating platform buban knew this would

40:08

help make up for some of the speed and

40:10

movement difference but would it be

40:13

enough that July he got on a run that

40:15

fell about 45 seconds behind nobori

40:18

after the first eight Stars after

40:20

accidentally quitting out of lethal

40:22

Laval land and missing the star in dire

40:24

dire docks his death deficit Rose to

40:27

over 2 and 1/2

40:28

minutes but he did manage to gain time

40:32

on the bljs and executed his new Bowser

40:35

in the sky strategies to Perfection the

40:38

end result was a

40:40

2549 2 minutes behind the record and 1

40:44

minute behind hendy bbia was a changed

40:47

player look he hadn't held the record in

40:50

three years now nabori had always been

40:53

just too dominant to beat but this run

40:56

was proof that finally he was fast

40:59

enough the world record was Within Reach

41:02

if bbia could clean up a couple blunders

41:04

in the middle of the run then he could

41:07

finally get the top spot

41:12

back bbia got off to a great start he

41:16

hit all his new strategies through Dark

41:18

World and had a 20 second lead over

41:21

neori in Lethal lava land he looked like

41:24

a visual Runner collecting the eight

41:25

coins no

41:27

hesitations he nailed getting on the

41:29

submarine in dire dire docks and had a

41:32

beautiful fire seat all of a sudden

41:35

Busia had himself a deathless run into

41:38

the

41:42

[Music]

41:48

[Music]

41:55

bljs

41:59

[Music]

42:12

boom

42:15

yes oh my god dude it's

42:18

over after three long years bbia was

42:22

back on top it had taken a Monumental

42:25

effort to beat noori but it all paid off

42:29

he still couldn't use muscle memory the

42:31

way noori did nobody could but through

42:34

years of strategizing and improving he

42:37

was able to make up the difference

42:39

anyway congratulations poured in and

42:42

bbia pondered what to do next a sub

42:45

23-minute run was definitely within

42:47

reach But ultimately he decided a 2317

42:51

was good enough and moved on to other

42:54

categories in the time since since this

42:56

run hendy and noori have been inactive

42:59

from blindfolded gaming bbia on the

43:02

other hand after taking a break for a

43:04

few months he returned to 16 Star by

43:07

early

43:08

2023 and ever since then he's been on a

43:11

quest for a sub2 minute blindfolded run

43:16

sub20 is a milestone for visual Runners

43:20

taking the Blindfolded world record

43:22

there would be completely insane but

43:25

that's what bubo was determined to do it

43:27

all started when Busia and Nico the

43:30

category's current fourth place Runner

43:32

began developing a way to perform

43:34

blindfolded

43:36

lblj this trick is used in top level

43:38

visual runs by jumping into an outof

43:41

bounds area in the lobby it's possible

43:43

to then precisely do a backwards long

43:45

jump that sends you into Bowser in the

43:47

Dark World an area that normally

43:49

requires eight Stars once there you want

43:52

to collect the eight red coins to obtain

43:54

a star so that you can later head

43:56

straight to W's Fortress they found

43:59

methods to complete lblj and the red

44:02

coins blindfolded but obviously it was a

44:05

major difficulty increase and when

44:07

combining that with other tricks like

44:09

owless and improving movement everywhere

44:13

they reasoned that a sub 20-minute run

44:15

was indeed possible but possible and

44:19

realistic are two separate things in mid

44:22

2023 Busia decided to make a push for

44:25

the sub 20 quickly though he found that

44:28

the lblj route was far too inconsistent

44:32

after abandoning it he focused on

44:34

optimizing the rest of the run and

44:36

managed to lower the record down to 22

44:39

minutes yeah a

44:42

minute but to get the sub20 Busia knew

44:45

the lblj had to be implemented in

44:48

January 2024 he took another look at the

44:51

route with Nico and another Community

44:53

member honey beef they realized it was

44:55

would be faster to skip cool cool

44:57

Mountain entirely adding another star in

45:00

shifting sandland and lethal lava land

45:03

Instead This saved another 20 seconds

45:06

and now bbia felt that he had to commit

45:09

to lblj the upside was too good to pass

45:12

up on February 15th 2024 bbia managed to

45:17

land lblj and the Reds in his fastest

45:20

time ever word

45:23

record he struggled a bit with the new

45:26

stars dying once each in shifting

45:28

sandland and lethal lava land but even

45:31

still he was hitting most of his new

45:34

strategies he had a clean fire sea then

45:37

got both blj's first try after flying

45:41

through Bowser in the sky bubs had a

45:44

chance at a big world

45:48

record

45:49

[Applause]

45:51

no no I think I threw

45:54

it

45:59

yes okay at least second try

46:02

[Music]

46:03

man

46:06

yes

46:08

yes a 21-minute run with two deaths and

46:12

a missed throw it wouldn't have quite

46:15

been a sub 20 but clearly the Run still

46:18

has room to go lower and this

46:21

2148 is where the record stands today

46:24

Busia is still still actively pushing

46:26

for the sub 20 and if hendy or nobori

46:29

come back they can certainly get there

46:31

too it's unreal to see the progression

46:34

from Bub's first blindfolded run 6 years

46:37

ago to what he and others can pull off

46:39

today they went from barely limping

46:42

through the game to flying through like

46:45

a visual Runner all this difference in

46:48

just 6 years I don't know about you but

46:51

I can't wait to see what another 6 years

46:54

of progression will do to to this run

46:57

thanks for

46:59

watching for a behind thes scenes look
