The speedrunner Summoning Salt has recently managed to set a new world record for playing Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! whilst completely blindfolded.
The speedrunner Summoning Salt has set a new world record for a blindfolded run of Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!. The NES title, featuring the classic character Little Mac, has maintained a notably strong popularity since its first release in 1987. In recent years, Nintendo has had to removed Tyson’s name and image from the game's re-releases, although Tyson has since expressed a desire to star in a fighting game once more.
Speedrunning is a popular pastime for gamers. Even just watching a run, cheering on the player, can be a great source of entertainment. In the past, this has led to speedrunning becoming the basis for incredibly sucessful charity drives. Summoning Salt himself has no doubt contributed to this popularity, being a well-known name in speedrunning circles himself. His YouTube channel currently boasts over 1 million subscribers, with most of his videos receiving similarly high numbers of views.
Blindfolded speedruns are undoubtedly one of the most difficult challenges in gaming, requiring extreme dedication. However, they are possible. A speedrunner recently beat Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice in under two hours. Summoning Salt is uniquely well suited to undertaking this challenge for Punch-Out!!. He currently holds multiple records for Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! on speedrun.com, and also serves as one of the moderators for the game’s leaderboards on the site.
To beat the final boss of Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!, Mike Tyson himself, in a single round, is obviously an incredibly difficult task and even more so while being unable to see. Failure is certain to be encountered time and time again with a single boss can easily ruin an otherwise perfect speedrun. But should Summoning Salt succeed, it will definitely place his record head and shoulders above those of his fellow speedrunners.Sources: Speedrun.
