As reported by Redditer lonniganseaweed, the full run took 103 hours, 10 minutes and eight seconds to complete, though Runnerguy2489 spent countless hours beforehand learning how to sense his surroundings without the use of his eyes. You can check out other stats about this run here.

Earlier this year Runnerguy2489 played through the first three dungeons blindfolded for Awesome Games Done Quick 2015, a charity event that raised over $1.5m for Prevent Cancer Foundation.

Another runner completed Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! blindfolded during the same event.

As you can see in Runnerguy2489's epic conclusion to this blindfolded run, he uses a lot of counting his backsteps while remaining parallel to the walls to navigate the open-world game.

Now please, no one kidnap this man as he will clearly reveal himself to be a kung-fu master without the use of his eyes.
