Ultimate Gamer Achieves Perfect Scores in 9 3D Super Mario Games in One Epic Marathon

Super Mario is a beloved franchise that has captured the hearts of gamers worldwide. With its iconic characters and challenging levels, it's no wonder that the Super Mario games are enjoyed by players of all skill levels. The franchise is also well-known for its speedrunning community, who strive to complete the games in record time. The mainline Super Mario games are platformers that require players to navigate through various worlds filled with enemies, puzzles, and hidden secrets. Collectibles such as stars, shinies, stamps, and moons are scattered throughout the levels, adding to the challenge. Recently, a dedicated Super Mario fan announced his intention to achieve the impressive feat of completing all the 3D Super Mario games with 100% completion in a single sitting, a daunting task for even the most skilled players.

Twitch streamer and speedrunner Kingj0444, known as Joey, accomplished an incredible feat by completing the world's first 3D Mario 2405 speedrun in less than 48 hours without taking a break. Joey expressed his pride through a tweet, sharing an image that revealed the length of time he had spent playing each game. The 2,405 total stars, shinies, and moons he collected in every mainline 3D Super Mario game, including the gravity-defying Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2, earned the speedrun its name.

Joey's previous speedrun record of 3D Mario 1862 had already made him a respected figure in the speedrunning community. In his tweet, he mentioned that he had been preparing for the 3D Mario 2405 speedrun since his previous record almost four years ago.

Despite receiving congratulations for his achievement, some community members expressed concern for Joey's health due to the amount of sleep he lost during his nearly two-day speedrun. While gaming can have health benefits, some people were skeptical of the toll such a long gaming session could take on the body. One user noted that sleep breaks are allowed in extremely long speedruns for a reason. However, Joey himself stated that he would prioritize sleeping after completing his goal. For those interested, Joey's 3D Mario 2405 speedrun can be viewed on his Twitch channel. Additionally, rumors of four new Super Mario games may inspire Joey to attempt another speedrun in the future.
