One intrepid Super Mario 64 player with far more skill and patience than I can ever hope to obtain has done the once unthinkable.

Can we please stop adding “After 28 years” to every article and video about this game?

Only reason I’m not outright dismissing this sequel is because Danny Boyle is directing it. I thought 28 Weeks Later fell short of the original but it was still enjoyable enough.

More than that, it does all sorts of things that also had to be worked around.

Has no one really done an RTA 70 star ABC before now?

I love the concept of this challenge, good on this lad for doing this, I thought most strats were TAS only.

If you want a real challenge, try the beat mario 64 while going through a severely messy divorce without crying while fighting crippling anxiety and depression run. No balls.

WOOOOO YEAH BABY

I too can’t wait when biologically-modified dogs, cats and alike beat videogames using their own undeveloped-yet-modified brain for the first time.

Came wait for the explanation video to drop. Bowser I’m the Fire Sea was the last stronghold a year ago. Here is a history of the no press challenge.

No Press A

It was the Wii version of Mario 64 not the N64 version.

Step 1: Run the game in an emulator

Step 2: change “A” button function to another button on your controller, set “A” button to a non functional button assignment. NEVER have to press “A” again.

Step 3: PROFIT

Why?

Because they can as well as being fun and novel to try and beat the game in weird, unintuitive ways? There are challenge runs similar to this* in Minecraft that get super popular all the time.

Similar in a conceptual sense, I’ve no idea the relative difficulty of these two different games nor the differing challenges offered in playing these way

Finally!

Could they not afford to buy a new controller when the A button broke?

Perhaps it was eaten by the larger buttons

The A button is already the largest button so it had to be stopped
