Not even close. Despite being a competitive swimmer for about 11 years, I just can't hold my breath long. At all.

In comparison, a last year (my senior year of high school) there was a swim team drill where the boys and girls teams tried to swim underwater as far as possible. I finished dead last among all swimmers (regardless of sex), being narrowly beaten out by the first year JV girl with asthma who swam the 100 free about 20 seconds slower than I did.

In conclusion, something's wrong.
In secondary conclusion, there's no way I'd ever be able to hold my breath for 64 seconds.

Mario sure let himself go from SMB to SM64. He can hold his breath FOREVER in SMB.

Not forever; eventually, the level timer runs out.

What if Mario keeps getting metal caps underwater?

Sitting completely still, I managed 2 mins., and 4 secs.  Got kinda dizzy when I stopped...not doing that again...going to lay down...

Steve, do you smoke or something?

I wouldn't think that he smokes. Anyway, I held it for 64 seconds! Now I'm aiming for 128.

Actually, not really, since each level had a time limit. so, what, like 4 minutes, give or take? :P (Edit: I started this post last night but never finished 'til now, so Hirocon beat me. >_< )

I tried holding my breath, and didn't do all that great. I think I breathed in too quickly (as I was trying to time the second to match with the clock), and sitting on the floor (yeah, floor, not chair) didn't help. I think I'll retry it standing up. *Shrugs* I remember having pretty decent lung capacity when I was swimming a lot.

I tried again and failed. I guess candy really is bad for you. I've eaten about 15 gobstoppers today.
