They’d be one in the same in every lexicon on the planet if it were humanly possible. speedruns on, or check out our special video feature on speedrunners here. You can check out the full leaderboard for Super Mario Bros. In short: theoretically, there are more records to be had! I used this advice, and it’s likely that this is the reason this run turned out to be the record. Blubbler discovered that the rate at which Mario loses his speed on the ground in water is lower if you do NOT press right. Mario loses speed when walking on the ground in water. Ideally you want to swim into the pipe, or at least touch the ground closer to the pipe than I did. I also had poor movement here, as ideally you’ll go down the pipe to the water with a 357 on the in game timer.ģ) The exit to the water section was bad. There is no other time save that a human has ever done (even in practice) prior to 8-4.Ģ) In 8-4, my notable mistakes include scrolling the screen a pixel too far in the “turnaround” room. andrewg is the best person at getting this.

Note the rich colours - this puppy was recorded on an actual NES! You can watch the new world record playthrough in the video below. It’s taken an entire year for another player to shave off a teensy bit of time in this speedrun category, which is wild.
