Ok, just turned it on. I have never once turned on one of these events and NOT had it be Super Mario 64. I love the game don't get me wrong, but wow my luck is terrible. So tired of seeing it. And now it's another Mario game next lol...
I used to be pretty crazy into speedruns (I had watched all of their videos @SDA + all the videos @TAS as well as participated in the forums) but the last few years have been kind of dull in that regard; guess I grew out of it.
I enjoy let's plays more now (good ones anyway)... I think the appeal of watching a game be played was the bigger selling point for me but now that I can watch them normally I've stopped watching speedruns (except old school FPS games... always good stuff).

This guy's estimate is over 20 min longer than the record though, so I hope he still does ok.
All estimates should include quite a bit of extra time to account for potential screwups and hickups during setup time etc. so they don't mess up the schedule.
Cosmo who has been running OoT daily the entire december month, and almost always landing around 2:35 (I think twice over 2:40) estimated his time to take 3:05.
If they're running ahead of schedule they put in donation challenges for extra games, and that's why DKC2 and Demon's Souls was added.

Standard Magician crescent falchion into homing soul arrow run. Not particularly quick either: he was either messing up or using old versions of the latest speedrun tricks.
And the stream is up for me, even though chat is full of people saying it isn't. Maybe if I refresh it'll die.
EDIT: Alternatively, wait five minute and it will die.
Does anyone know if Paper Mario for N64 has been done? It was my favourite game for N64 when I was younger and I've probably played through it more than 20 times by now. Would love to see someone more experienced speedrun that shit :>

Does anyone know how much money they've collected now? That widget hasn't worked for several days..
They have received over 120k in donations which is amazing. Bump for the last day of running. Been loving the marathon all week. If you missed anything there will be VODs of the runs later on their website. Check them out, it is worth it.

Holy shit that's awesome! :D
I recommend OoT and SM64, both are really competitive and the runs are very different. SM64 goes really fast and OoT is just glitched beyond belief
