A phenomenon in the Super Mario 64 speedrunning scene in which the runner Suigi holds all major world records across the five core categories — 0-Star, 1-Star, 16-Star, 70-Star, and 120-Star — raising concerns about competitive stagnation and the sustainability of the game’s speedrun meta.
Speedrunning communities often rely on rivalry, specialization, and the ever-present possibility of an upset to remain vibrant. The Suigi Problem disrupts this balance. Suigi’s total dominance across every major category breaks from the long-standing tradition where different runners excel in different niches — some mastering the glitch-heavy short categories, others grinding the endurance-based long runs.
By conquering every category, Suigi not only redefined what individual mastery looks like, but also inadvertently diminished the competitive drive for others. With no world records left to chase, top runners face a choice: try to dethrone a near-flawless reign, or move on. As a result, the Suigi Problem has come to symbolize a paradox in speedrunning — where perfection, once achieved, may end the very competition that created it.

“This isn’t just a sweep — it’s the Suigi Problem. There’s nothing left to beat.”
“Unless GTM can do it, SM64 might need a whole new meta to survive the Suigi Problem.”

Get the Problemmug. A term used within the Super Mario 64 speedrunning community to describe the unprecedented and destabilizing dominance of the runner Suigi, who has simultaneously held all five major category world records — 0-Star, 1-Star, 16-Star, 70-Star, and 120-Star. The Suigi Problem represents a rare convergence of peak performance across all facets of the game, prompting existential concerns about the state of competition.
