Super Mario Bros. is one of the most influential and popular games of all time, and it’s also quite popular with the speedrunning community. Even 30 years after its release, people are still competing for the title of fastest Mario player, and a new champion was recently crowned. After 6,607 attempts, YouTuber darbian managed to beat the game in 4:57.627, beating out the previous world record of 4:57.69.

This run was accomplished on an actual NES with no hacks. Darbian does use a few simple exploits to shave off some seconds (including a trick in World 4-2

which he explains here), but nothing game-breaking is done. Click above to check out this amazing run!
