Editor's Note: Early runs on SpeedDemosArchive used a different system for timing Super Mario 64 runs in which they started from when the player first gains control of Mario rather than from console power on. This makes SDA timing about a minute faster than modern day timing conventions. For the sake of clarity, any pages showing SDA timings have been edited to show their modern day equivalent times. Some forum posts have also had names edited for the sake of protecting players' identities.
