The Paper Mario<\/strong><\/em> franchise has charted its own path for a number of years now, and built up a strong fan community as a result. While a number of fans would like to see Paper Mario<\/em> return to RPG mechanics<\/a> in its future installments, the series looking to try out creative new ideas. Being creative and thinking outside the box could also describe speedrunning, and a new speedrun of Paper Mario<\/em> certainly thinks outside the box.<\/p>\n

Paper Mario<\/em> recently celebrated its 20-year anniversary<\/a>, and what better way to celebrate than by dismantling a speedrunning record for the game. The “any percent” category for speedrunning a video game is pretty straightforward as it simply means completing the game as quickly as possible by any means necessary. However, the recent Paper Mario<\/em> speedrun is so unusual, that it may warrant its own category on official Paper Mario<\/em> speedrun leaderboards.<\/p>\n

Speedrunner JCog has set a new record time of 54:22, completing Paper Mario<\/em> at a blistering pace. A full 45 minutes faster than the current best time. The only caveat is that JCog spends more than half of this run playing The Legend of Zelda: <\/em>Ocarina<\/em> of Time<\/em>. He calls it the “Stop’n’Swop Any%” category, which is a reference to a Banjo-Kazooie<\/em> feature that was cut from\u00a0that game which was supposed to involve cartridge swapping.<\/p>\n
