Fans of the speedrunning community may have heard that the current world record for the original Super Mario Bros has been smashed by a few milliseconds. The previous world record, set by i_o_l was 4:57.69 while the new record, completed by user Darbian, was polished off at 4:57.627. Check out the YouTube footage of it below:
Not only did Darbian beat the world record, he believes he can also shave a few more milliseconds off his time. For a more technical explanation on how (and explanations on the exploits used), check out the reddit post below.
While I feel the zone warp pipes obviously make this pointless, good job I suppose.
Just making an input here: That’s cause this is a specific type of run they do. There’s a warp pipes one, and there’s a warpless one. The current warpless record is 19 minutes, 9 seconds, and 839ms. You can find these types of listings on speedrun.com.
Yea I know, I get it. People from my generation we’re doing this before it was a thing though. I’ve beat the game with warps and without. I was actually just playing it this morning…
Idk, to be fair I’m not a big fan of runner’s and it almost feels like that’s what the game has turned into. Good info though!

The funny thing is the runners of today are pretty much a by-product of these old Mario games.
Oh most definitely, I don’t consider it a runner because when I first played it I found secrets and then wanted to find them all. But you’re right. It evolved into another type of play. It’s all good.
😹
Yes, I was doing it back in the day because we were only permitted 20 or 30 (been a long time) minutes of game play per person so I would warp zone my way to the more challenging aka fun levels.
Cool. 🐋
That title confused me so much for a second. “New Super Mario Bros. World”
HAHAHA, NX confirmed.
I’d go for broke and buy it.
Unless I watched someone playing this while they were sitting right next to me, I will never believe videos like these. He’s basically even touching some of the enemies and not even losing a life. And NOBODY can keep running and jumping flawlessly without even hitting a block to slow them down. I just don’t believe this.
