GreenSuigi or Suigi (born May 15, 2005, first name Cole[1]) is a Canadian speedrunner and online streamer. He is known for holding the world records in all five major speedrunning categories of Super Mario 64, a notable category extension, and four out of fifteen individual level records.[1][2][3] He is regarded as the greatest Super Mario 64 speedrunner of all time.[4][5][6][7]
Name
Suigi is a reference to Luigi, which is evidenced by Suigi using a Luigi cap with wings as his channel profile image.
The Green part of his name, other than green being the theme color of Luigi, is possibly a reference to how speedrunners display times in runs: red when they fall behind the reference pace and green when they are ahead.
Speedrunning Super Mario 64
Overview
The five major speedrunning categories of Super Mario 64 are named after how many stars are collected before beating the game: 0 Star, 1 Star, 16 Star, 70 Star, and 120 Star,[2][6] where the first three categories are considered short and the latter two long categories. The distinction is made because the trade-off using risky time-saving techniques differs, and because speedrunners, apart from general play skills, also develop skills that translate well between the short categories or between the long categories, but do not cross that boundary. For example, in short categories, mastering many high-risk tricks is very important, whereas long categories require stress- and fatigue-management, consistency, resilience, and perseverance.[7] This is sometimes compared to how professional runners are either sprinters or long-distance runners. There is also a notable category extension called 16 Star No LBLJ[3] which is superficially very similar to 16 Star only banning one specific trick called Lobby Backwards Long Jump that is performed at the beginning of the run and grants immediate access to a level that unlocks the basement section of the game that is otherwise inaccessible early on as it requires 8 stars to enter. In No LBLJ, the player is restricted to the lobby section of the game for the first 8 stars.
Suigi's records
Suigi started speedrunning the 16 Star and 16 Star No LBLJ categories in 2020, attaining his first world record May 2021 for the No LBLJ[3] variant, and the 16 Star world record November of 2021,[2] then moved on to 1 Star and 0 Star attaining world records in February and April of 2023, respectively[2].[7] After the short-category world records, he moved to 70 Star and, finally, to 120 Star, attaining world records in June and October of 2024, respectively,[2] shortly after initiating attempts in those categories each.[7][8] The 70-Star record had been beaten in the time between June and October, but Suigi broke it again in November 2024.[2]
He currently (2025-05-06) holds the individual level records for "Lethal Lava Land", "Shifting Sand Land", "Tall, Tall Mountain", and "Tiny-Huge Island".
The YouTuber, speedrunner, and video essayist Karl Jobst described Suigi's 16-Star record of 2023 as "the most well-executed Super Mario 64 speedrun in history,"[7] and "almost flawless […] with only the most minuscule of mistakes".[7] News outlets concerned with speedrunning commented on his achievements similarly.[1][4][5][6][7]
