It is one of the most wholesome moments in speedrunning history - the speedrunner breaks a Super Mario 64 world record after eight years of trying, he breaks down before his parents come in to congratulate him on his momentous achievement.
Simply is a well-known Super Mario 64 speedrunner from Minnesota, USA who yesterday completed Nintendo's N64 classic with all 120 stars obtained in an incredible time of 1:38:28. Simply's time beat the previous world record of 1:38:43, which was obtained by a player called Liam Kings on 31st March 2020, by 15 seconds.
When Simply finishes the game by defeating Bowser in the final boss fight, he collapses forward, at first laughing, then crying as his 3500 Twitch viewers offer congratulations in the chat.
