Paper Mario 64 - Glitchless Speedrun in 3:58:26 [Former WR] [Commentated]

This was a pretty good speedrun on October 8th, 2014. Route: http://pastebin.com/Y5c7bwDb

Prologue: Could be a bit faster with optimal movement. Pretty good RNG.

Chapter 1: Execution was sloppy in some areas; one encounter that is easy to avoid. Could've been 20 seconds faster. RNG was pretty good at least.

Chapter 2: Second try on Speedy Spin RNG, so I lost 20 seconds there. Execution was nearly perfect though.

Chapter 3: Poor overall; two encounters. RNG was fine but execution was lacking. Can be around 25 seconds faster.

Chapter 4: Bad RNG with the Sky Guy, so I lost about 35 seconds to that. Good RNG on Lantern Ghost, and only mistake was grabbing the Shooting Star in terms of execution. Can be about 40 seconds faster.

Chapter 5: Bad RNG on the Spear Guy and another random encounter, but Mt. Lavalava was virtually unbeatable. Can be about 15 seconds faster.

Chapter 6: Two random encounters and lost time to bad RNG on the Spike fight; nearly perfect aside from that. Can be 45 seconds faster.

Chapter 7: Lost 40 seconds to two encounters and initially forgetting the Jammin' Jelly.

Chapter 8: Bad RNG on Duplighosts and a Dry Bones fight, losing around 30 seconds. A platforming error early on cost me about 8 seconds. Doesn't really matter because the last three fights had insanely good RNG.

In other words, this will be difficult to PB on because those time calculations are assuming RNG as good as this run (which was above average) and this run had overall great movement. I don't see this category getting faster than 3:56 without revisions to the route that would make things a lot riskier, but faster. In a 4-hour run though, it's arguably not worth it to make routing revisions that are riskier.

Either way, hope you guys enjoyed this run!
