There are many ways to enjoy Super Mario 64: playing casually, speedrunning, TASing, ROM hacking, and more. It's "just" a game, but to many of us, it also means a community: a shared space for growth, cooperation, competition, and social connections. Being part of this community has been rewarding in ways we never anticipated. If you want to see what it's like, try chatting in a Twitch stream or joining races and grassroots tournaments. There's an annual Summer League starting soon where players get drafted onto teams and earn points with PBs. And don't forget to join the Super Mario Speedruns Discord! https://discord.com/invite/sm64 | There are many ways to enjoy Super Mario 64: playing casually, speedrunning, TASing, ROM hacking, and more.
