This is roughly 4 seconds faster than the previous record, held by speedrunner Cheese05, and the first time since 2015 a Japanese player has held the record in this category. The last time Batora held the world record was nearly 11 years ago in 2010.

It\u2019s also an extremely crowded category where, before the current record was the set, the top 4 positions were in a dead heat being within 7 seconds of each other. Because of the category\u2019s long history, there are many refined techniques that exist, and despite runs hovering around 90 minutes, it\u2019s a very popular streaming category that viewers can\u2019t take their eyes off of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Batora set their sights on the world record and started streaming nearly every day on Twitch, with the last few weeks especially having some really close runs. It seemed to only be a matter of time before the record was broken. The hard work and perseverance paid off, but with mistakes on Rainbow Cruise and various other spots, there\u2019s still room for the record to be updated even further. If Batora keeps pushing for a better time, 1 hour and 37 minutes could be within reach. Of course, other speedrunners such as Puncayshun are aiming for the record as well, so don\u2019t expect the competition in the 120 star RTA category to slow down anytime soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">huge congrats to batora on the 120 WR which is 1:38:21. <br>very well deserved<\/p>&mdash; puncayshun (@puncayshun) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/puncayshun\/status\/1380506879185539075?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 9, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Super Mario 64&#8217;s 120 star speedrun world record has been broken by a Japanese player Batora.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":663,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_gspb_post_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[17,33],"class_list":["post-660","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-japan-related-news","tag-nintendo"],"blocksy_meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
