A Twitch streamer, Marbler, successfully completed the Super Mario 64 A Button Challenge. This challenge involves completing the classic N64 game without using the A button.
Many gamers have attempted this challenge since the 2000s, but Marbler accomplished it after 86 hours of gameplay on the Wii Virtual Console version. Marbler utilized strategies and exploits discovered by well-known speedrunners like Mr_Robert_Z, Bottles704, Thiago Trujillo, Mp16z, and bobmario511.
This impressive achievement demonstrates the dedication and creativity needed to overcome such a difficult challenge in a beloved video game.
A few hours ago Super Mario 64 was beaten without pressing the A button RTA for the first time ever by Marbler. It took 86 hours (mostly waiting for the Fire Sea platforms on the Wii VC version to rise high enough to skip the pole). This is an incredible gaming achievement. pic.twitter.com/1B1Wf9dFTs
