Every bit Kotaku reports, streamer Okikurume recently spent a little over 17 consecutive hours blasting through a "100% run" of the game, securing a globe record—for the fourth dimension beingness. In this special speedrunner category, Okikurume had a few tough items on his checklist to complete: collecting every power star in the game, every hat, every costume, every souvenir, capture all of the game'south 52 unlike enemy types, and collect 82 different songs. Oof.

You tin sentinel Okikurume's unabridged 17-hour, xx-infinitesimal run on Twitch right at present, but we warn that parts of it are going to feel a footling irksome. Since he has to consummate the game—non only beat it speedily—he can't only glitch his way past certain bosses or levels. Instead, Okikurume spends a lot of fourth dimension grinding for coins, since some of the game'due south power stars have to be purchased, not institute.

To maximize his money intake, Okikurume spent a few hours repeatedly beating a bonus level that netted him just around 180 coins per run. Since he needed around 33,000 total coins for the "100% run," that's a lot of grinding—and non the stream's virtually interesting moments, for sure.

Later on all that try, it's likely that Okikurume's efforts aren't going to sit down in the summit spot for very long. In an e-mail to Kotaku, Okikurume explains that his "100% run" was mostly just based on his experience playing the game, rather than specific optimizations designed to achieve the lowest time possible.

"Run didn't have a route and was based on previous experiences and that the potential for the category is style, way, way lower. There'due south people working on routes at the moment for it but I wanted to see how it would get just based off my previous experiences for fun," he told Kotaku.
