This also meant I had to leave majority of my family and my friends to start a brand new life, with completely different cultures.

I was born in Cumbria, England and then moved to the sunshine state of Queensland, Australia when I was around 10 years old. These childhood games are very special to me. School and personal life kind of got in the way and I thought my speedrunning career was just going to be a one off for a bit of fun. Wii in 46 minutes and 32 seconds, which to today’s standards is very bad. On the 23rd of September of 2018, I attempted my first ever speedrun. I thought I was good enough at these Wii games to give speedrunning a try, so with very little practice, I jumped right into it. At the time, I was also aware that speedrunning exists. I got a bit older and it wasn’t until 2018 that I felt the urge to play some childhood classics. Eventually I got into Minecraft and such, so I started to drift away from the Wii. Wii (NSMB Wii), Super Smash Bros Brawl, Skylanders, Super Mario Galaxy, and many more. Playing games like Mario Kart Wii, New Super Mario Bros. I was originally a Nintendo DS kid around the mid to late 2000’s, until I received the Wii for Christmas of 2009. Wii was one of my ( BMAN_03) favorite childhood games.
