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!

How lucky can someone get, not being grabbed by them plants that come out of the tube, it seemed like he pretty much either landed just to the side of them or went through them.
I have not played this game in years.

I didn't see this before but that's very impressive, congrats to the record breaker. I would've thought going in the tube at first would've slowed him down but I guess it didn't, because he knows much better than me about what the fastest way is to go.

So he beat his own record? I would have waited and then beat it.

And I used to sit there, struggling on world 7, dying over and over, needing any power-up I could get and taking me up till I was 10 years old to beat the game....

It would take me that long to finish even one of the levels.
