of people playing through the game as intended, it is possible to skip large portions of Super Mario 64 by using glitches. Using a glitch dubbed the "backwards long jump," (BLJ), and variations on it such as "side backwards long jump" (SBLJ) or "lobby backwards long jump" (LBLJ), the player character can move at very high speeds, which allows the player to clip through walls such that a player can skip almost all levels of the game and beat it in only a few minutes, collecting 0 of the intended 70 stars that are normally required. As of November 19, 2022, the world record for this category, dubbed "0 star," is 6 minutes, 27 seconds and 380 milliseconds, by Japanese speedrunner Kanno. Additionally, many players run an older route that omits one BLJ in favor of using a different, slower glitch, which requires 16 total stars. This gives an additional challenge over the "starless" route, as players must execute difficult glitches while also obtaining the fastest (and in many cases, most difficult) stars in the game. The current world record for this category is held by Suigi, with a time of 14:43.581. Completing Super Mario 64 100%—i.e., collecting all the game's 120 "stars"—is also a popular method of playing through the game; additionally, completing the game without using BLJs but using other glitches and exploits to obtain 70 stars as quickly as possible is also very popular. Recently, the 120 Stars category has become much more competitive. The world records for 70 and 120 stars are 46:58.48 (Weegee) and 1:37:35 (Weegee), respectively. In more recent times, Super Mario Odyssey, released in 2017, has garnered a community of speedrunners. As of May 20, 2022, the game has the fourth most speedrunners of any game on speedrun.com, only trailing Minecraft: Java Edition, Super Mario 64, and ROBLOX: Speed Run 4 Many glitches are used to optimize the times, such as out of bounds clips in the Lake Kingdom, Wooded Kingdom, Snow Kingdom, and Seaside Kingdom, and a jump in the Moon Kingdom skipping the Moon Cave and a boss fight. As of July 26, 2022, the world record for Super Mario Odyssey'''s Any% category is held by Tyron18 with a time of 56 minutes, 55 seconds.
