How SM64 Speedruns Got So Ridiculously Optimized

How SM64 Speedruns Got So Ridiculously Optimized Super Mario 64 is one of the most competitive speedrunning games out there, but strictly competing doesn't generate new ideas, it instead tries them out.

Today, I look into the "other side" of SM64 speedrunning, that is, the side that works on tiny timesaves like lag reductions, movement optimizations, and so on.

People who have helped to optimize SM64 speedruns in some way (probably missing some):
