Frame Perfection (also known as totallyuninteresting) is a speedrunner from Bavaria, Germany, who specializes in playing Super Mario 64 romhacks, the two that he has played the most being Star Revenge 2: Night of Doom and Super Mario 74: Extreme Edition (both of which are extremely difficult to play without tools let alone speedrun). He has amassed over 2,500 followers on his Twitch channel, thanks to his generally insane skill level, his perseverance and his rages (because yes, these hacks he plays are very very hard).

Some of the hacks he has played are as follows:

  • Super Mario 74 Extreme Edition
  • Super Mario 74
  • Star Revenge 2: Night of Doom
  • Super Mario 64: Last Impact
  • Star Revenge 5: Neo Blue Realm
  • Kaizo Mario 64

Tropes that apply to Frame Perfection:

  • Challenge Gamer: Given that Night of Doom and SM:74 Extreme Edition are often considered to be the hardest and second hardest SM:64 hacks respectively, this one should be obvious.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: Frame Perfection sometimes, even when not raging.
  • Epic Fail:
    • The time he smashed his controller and accidentally loaded a save state about 6 hours and 46 minutes into his run. Loading a savestate makes a speedrun invalid. See it here.
    • Also, this happened in the Crudelo Sphere in SM74:EE. Frame goes for the 100 coin star in one of the hardest stages that the romhack has to offer, and breaks a box getting only enough coins to have 99. He then tries to pull it back and gets the 100th coin right next to one of two stars he has to pick up and successfully grabs the 100 coin star, but then lands on an incline steep enough that he just slides off the stage (losing all the time he spent to spawn the red coin star). Cue some of the weirdest noises you'll ever hear as he helplessly watches Mario slide to his doom.
  • Irony:
    • Even though he's tremendously skilled, despite being known as Frame Perfection, he dies and screws up a lot, and many of his speedrun attempts are just that— attempts. Then again, who wouldn't die a lot on Night of Doom?
    • Also, his speedruns of the original Super Mario 64 aren't all that optimized despite holding world records in several insanely hard SM 64 romhacks/categories. To quote him verbatim, he prefers the romhacks as the competition in SM 64 speedrunning is ridiculous and the runs of the real game are extremely optimized, making getting the world record in SM 64 much harder to do than get the world record on say, Extreme Edition (of course, beating Extreme Edition, or especially, Night of Doom casually is much harder than beating Super Mario 64).
  • Memetic Mutation: The eyeball.
  • Nintendo Hard: Some of the romhacks he has played, notably Star Revenge 2: Night of Doom and Super Mario 74 Extreme Edition. In the final level of the former, the player has to do consecutive wall jumps at an angle to try to land on a platform that's not much wider than Mario himself, and even with an optimal camera angle, the walls obscure the platform. All of this is done over instant death quicksand.
  • No Indoor Voice: He used to be really loud sometimes.
  • No Such Thing as Bad Publicity: Although he has appeared in several speedrunner/gamer rage and/or cringe videos, and on People Are Idiots, all of it has likely increased Frame Perfection's viewer base.
    Frame Perfection: The longer I stay offline, the more followers I get. Okay.
  • Rage Quit: As the hacks he plays can get pretty hard, it's no surprise a few of these have happened.
  • Sanity Slippage: Speedrunning the same game over and over again can have detrimental impacts on your well-being as seen here.
  • Self-Deprecation: Sometimes he comments about how he is bad at the game when he makes too many mistakes during one or more runs, or during practice such as in "How to Dust 101", linked below.
  • Sequence Breaking: He did courses in Last Impact in non-sequential order. For example, Course 2 comes up only near the end of the run.
  • Unstoppable Rage: It doesn't happen too often, but when it does, it can be either terrifying or hilarious, or possibly both.
