Mike Tyson in Punch Out is one of video games’ most infamously difficult final bosses. But over at Awesome Games Done Quick, two incredibly talented speedrunners just fought their way to and beat him sharing the same controller. Oh, and they were completely blindfolded. According to speedrun.com, blindfolded speedruns of Mike Tyson’s Punch Out are nothing new. These two players actually hold the 2nd and 3rd spots on the leaderboard. Sinister1 has a blindfolded time of 21 minutes and 38 seconds, and Zallard1 has a 21 minute 56 second time.
So, how do you beat a notoriously hard game, while sharing a controller AND blindfolded? As you might guess, it’s not easy. In an interview beforehand, the runners weren’t sure they’d be able to beat the game in these conditions, or even get to Mike Tyson during the run. What followed was a 23-minute display of what can only be described as pure skill.
