I tried speedrunning Mario 64 without using the camera...

I now understand why people say what they say about the camera controls in Super Mario 64.
Super Mario 64 speedruns are truly incredible. A large part of them is how well you can control the camera to make it easier to move Mario. As a former Mario 64 world record holder and a current Mario 64 speedrunner I've always known that positioning your camera correctly is incredibly important but it wasn't until I attempted this speedrun challenge of SM64 that I got to really appreciate just how bad the camera can actually be in this game.
Enjoy.

Streamer popularity is directly proportional to hair insanity

this may come as a surprise to you but he was actually just wearing a hat

[@jacobobesser]

Lies

[@lich-king2298]

Ok, no joke, at 1:23 when he said "were gonna get destroyed by lag" my video buffered for like 5 seconds.

[@emmbeesea]

When Lakitu goes on strike:

[@13vatra]

No that would be if you had to use mario cam for the entire run.

[@RodriHermo]

6:56 This is what I expected the video to be

[@AzakielRuns]

Now try to speedrun SM 64 without moving Mario.

[@anomaly8271]

5:10 oml💀

[@SuperViperT302]

Next you should try a 70 star no Z button run. :)

[@Toaster003]

I think Pannenkoek2012 explained Zless runs at one point I’ll see what he said

[@SuperViperT302]

@@Toaster003 Yeah, he has a video on it. I want Simply to go into it blind, though. :)

[@forkevbot]

You need to remember... lakitu works for bowser ;)

[@laykefindley6604]

This actually could be a legit flavor of speed run for this game.

[@robheaton]

This was a nice challenge regarding the camera.

[@sillygoofygoofball]

you've heard of cannonless, but what about cameraless?

[@Blackbaldrik]

Gotta get Kaze in here to build a mod that insta-kills you if you touch any of the camera buttons.

[@chrysny413]

Dude ur commentary has me cracking up. This video really highlights ur spacial knowledge of the game.

[@TheAaronRodgersTao]

Dude you are massively entertaining.

[@brodie6858]

You earned my like by resetting and skipping wing cap, good shit!

[@cameronmckendrick4155]

"You will get scammed" 6:35 lolol

[@cmorndorf]

"Thank you Simply for the 20 pack" lul

[@aaronmeives4496]

If simply wanted to not see while playing, just do a glassesless run

[@thexenocide6013]

i keep trying to talk abt simply vids with people bc i forget the vids have like 40k views and not enough people watch so often

[@espiao7343]

A better challenge would be 70 star with fixed camera only, if it takes too long It can be 45 or 31 or 16

[@tommyrs95]

I'll be back to watch the actually no camera run

[@andrewmanzanares4120]

anyone else have the subscribe rap memorized by now and jams out every time it comes on?

[@levicusx]

here i was expecting a blindfolded speedrun

I liked the editing

[@stragetaco7236]

0:44 he cut out my uncle ben's shoutout ):

[@Kaitri]

Even as a kid with a n64 controller and over 200 hours in this game i never got used to the camera.
Its so terrible.
Also hi ghostboy

[@AmazingJuniorBros]

i think i watched this live but ill just watch it again here

[@brreeaad]

Bonking resets the camera just like pressing r twice does I think

[@sonyabladesbooty3890]

Does the carpet match the drapes

[@8Gion]

Is there a reason of why he didn't do 16 star instead of 70 ?
Edit: i rewatched the beginning, the challenge is 70 star no camera, and not just no camera as I first believed.

[@coolguyfry293]

Feeling like its not no camera either

[@kitsunami7251]

I don't think you can do bljs without moving the camera?

[@darkxstknight2919]

Your song was on syphrus video

[@PopADoseYo]

Well I haven't watched yet, but I do know the camera is the most important part.
