Video: Super Mario Bros speed run world record broken

4.7
The world record for the fastest time to beat Super Mario Bros has been broken.

Speedrunner 'Blubbler' has beaten what was previously considered the fastest possible way to beat the game, which previously resulted in a world record of 4:58:09.

By using a recently discovered glitch and being able to pull it off during a speedrun however, Blubbler has been able to reduce that to a new record time of 4:57.69.

The glitch occurs at the end of World 8-2. By jumping on a Bullet Bill just as he hits the corner of the flagpole, Mario doesn't have to walk to the castle and the game accumulates the score instantly instead of waiting for him to get there.

You can see the full speedrun below. Congratulations to Blubbler!

there are parts that look double jumped. i just ran through the game at the same spots where the "near misses" occurred and yeah i died. so i question if anything additional was used. but faster than i have patience for.

There were some close calls during that speedrun.
Don't have the proper skill to be pulling that off.

This is crazy, when I was younger it took my days to beat the game, this guy does it in just about 5 minutes? I feel ashamed.

VHzPosted:

Tried speedrunning the game for fun a while back, but he sure beats my record of 6:52

Firm If he glitched it that means he did not beat it fairly at all. It doesn't count and Blubber, nice going cheater.


Technically a glitch is a programming mistake, therefore the game isn't being manipulated to cheat, and so it's fine. If he used a cheat system to add things like walk through walls or invincibility, then it would be cheating.

360MoTioN I wonder how long it took him to beat the world record?


About 4:57.69 seconds according to the video...


Well that was the finished run, he might have been off by a few seconds, might have died a few times, and he definitely had to practice on the speed run.

KevinG He glitched it so would you honestly count it as officially breaking a record.
Also when was the last one set? (Date/Year)


He glitched it?

Are you sure?

And you could probs find it on google or something
