I used to run Super Mario 64 30 star - it's a really fun category and is like 25-40 mins depending on how good you are, theres some super technical and fun stars, my two favorites are are bowser in the dark world red coins https://youtu.be/yP1GjLXWDa0?t=1m21s (basically, its sick because if you miss anything and aren't fast enough, you miss the platform at 1:55 where the red coin is and have to wait like 6 seconds for a rotation lol).

My other favorite (actually 2 stars) is whomp fortress red coins and 100 coin star, https://youtu.be/yP1GjLXWDa0?t=3m48s, to be able to do the sequence at 4:02 is actually alot harder than it looks (there are other strats that are slower though so its not that hard to get into). Honestly, in terms of content and technical skill, I don't think another speedrun game matches sm64, maybe super metroid.

Shit I just remember another disgusting star.. The cool thing about 30 star is you basically clear all the fast stars upstairs, and then do a ton of interesting stars in the basement part. https://youtu.be/yP1GjLXWDa0?t=13m30s it'll take alot of practice to pull this trick off though, I couldn't ever do it lol
