Blindfolded Super Mario 64 speedrunner gets near world record pace, doesn’t realize the run’s been invalidated by a broken webcam until it’s already over
Blindfolded speedrunning specialist Bubzia has dominated the sightless Super Mario 64 scene for years, and he’s not stopping yet. He’s is currently working on beating his own blindfolded 70-star world record, and after a months-long grind he was on pace to do just that. But Bubzia’s entire community was willing that run to fail because his broken webcam would’ve invalidated the run anyway.
On February 10, Bubzia was 20 minutes into the 90ish minute run just a few seconds behind world record pace. The community was getting cautiously excited that they might see a new record – with clean play through the remainder of the game, Bubzia could easily do it. But at the 23:59 mark, the unthinkable happened. Bubzia’s webcam suddenly turned off.
