World Record Pace: A Mario 64 Speedrunning Documentary - Episode 1: Rise Of The Titans

Super Mario 64 is one of the most popular speedruns of all time, and when I started watching in late 2019 - early 2020, It felt like the golden era. But i wanted to know what was beneath the surface of the game. I was able to interview 6 of the top runners at that time to talk about their early years, how they started the run, how they rose in the ranks, and how hard they practiced and worked to get there. This is episode 1 of a 4 part series, with later episodes focusing on mentality in speedrunning, the (at the time) largest bounty in speedrunning history, and the first ever live speedrunning event held by ESA called "Break The Record: LIVE" with huge prize money on the line.
