Super Mario Bros (NES) Speed Run World Record  

The irony where the faster you complete a level, the longer it takes to tally up all that leftover time at the end of a stage.

"Mom, can I play on the NES?" "Yes, but you only have 5 minutes."

I'm triggered IRL from the fact he didn't put (TAS) in the title.

Bowser: "You, mario! I captured the princess again!" Mario: "K, be there in 5 mins." Bowser: "Wait what." Mario: *hangs up* Bowser: "oh sh-"

I've been stuck on level 1 for 16 years. And this guy does the hole game in 5 minutes

Stop elevating alternative sexual archetypes on the marketplace

Imagine going back in time to when ppl just started playing this game and running through the whole game like this.

2 things I hate: 1: when people say TAS is hacking... and 2: when people post TAS as normal speedruns... almost 90% of the commenters have done the 1. and the uploader has done the second...

This game took my soul when I was about 8 years old. It was xmas of 85 I believe and in all the family photos that year, if you looked behind anybody in the picture, you would see me sitting on the floor with my eyes glued to the tv. Such a great game. Fuck man, now I wanna go play this game again. lol

"3:00 An then, i was bored, so i decided to make a level backwards...just because i can" -Mario

😱 WTF, it's taken me over 30 years to beat Super Mario Bros.

love how you can run through the chomp plants.

*_insert comment about how he/she should have died 40 times because of touching enemies and this is a hack_* 1. Hitboxes are broken in this game, I played on the real NES, and I did the same thing in Worlds such as 4-1 2. Hack = Modifying the game to help you beat the game, Glitch = Screw up in codes that can cause skips in levels, rooms, etc. 3. Speedrun = BEATING THE GAME AS FAST AS POSSIBLE. Any% is beating the game within anytime, including glitching the game. 100% is beating the game fully, meaning doing every thing possible. 4. Despite all this stuff, this is a TAS anyways, the description "origin: *tas*vg.com" including most possibly inhuman/impossible moves (aka jumping extremely fast) etc...

Few sketchy moments but overall epic.

I say fake. There were multiple spots where Mario should have taken damage but didn't.

THIS IS A TAS, NOT A PROPER SPEEDRUN. The real WR is close to this though.

can you imagine showing this to a kid in the early 90's? they would shit themselves so hard intestines would come out

Mario may have hit the the plants but not the hit boxes. People need to understand that

Dat hit detection doe.

If this is a TAS it should be labeled TAS and not speed run.

Peach: "Help me Mario!" Mario: "Be there in 5"

Why do the piranha plants not kill him? the amount of times he hits them :/ Good job though :)

I felt really confident that I could also beat Mario this fast, but then I got killed by the first goomba...

lol mario:can i play video games mom: yes but only 5 mins result: lmfao

Anderewg1990 can do this in real time.

I'm getting tired of everyone saying this was either cheating or a TAS. It's an NES game there are going to be glitches and the speed running community always use glitches. Even if this were a TAS speed run it is Tool *Assisted* it doesn't just do the work for you. You may say "but he touches the piranha plants" to which I say, they have a flawed hit box. So stop giving negative comments about a masterful speed run which took skill and practice.

This is amazing. We can truthfully say that we can beat this entire game in under five minutes now. That's amazing.

Peach: Mario come over Mario: Can't Peach: Bowser isn't home Mario:

Also, to those of you claiming that he should have died when hitting the piranha plants, you should know that the hitbox in the piranha plants is actually only a small vertical rectangle in the bottom part of the plant, while Mario's hitbox encompasses almost his entire body. Basically this means he would have to jump directly on the plant and hit it dead on in order for the hitboxes to collide, thus causing him to die. On the other hand, there are several cases where this appears to occur in this video but he still doesn't die, for instance at 3:19 he appears to hit a plant directly and nothing happens. Personally I believe that the video is manipulated for this reason, but I know if I say this all people will do is criticize me.

Every damn time this person hit the piranha plant pipes, I clenched my ass cheeks.

Wow the trick at the end of 8-2 with the bullet bill. Majestic! In most of these TAS you can usually find areas that could be improved with careful examination. But this one has been looked over so methodically by so many people it's hard to imagine what more could be done. Although I'm sure it'll be done.

it took him 4 min to do what took me 18 years of my life.... Gun+mouth= me right now

I thought I could play this so fast, and I can, but realy impressed with how he avoided the flowers coming out of the pipes so recklessly. I would at least take one mushroom to be big that's all, just in case

I'm an NES expert. This person is phenomenal but he ran directly through way to many piranha plants to have survived.

Very clearly a TAS. This is in no way a true WR.

Mans summaried my childhood in 5 minutes

All through this video I'm thinking "Wtf, that plant bit him but he didn't get hit?" or "Wtf he jumped right into that turtle?"

Bowser: AHA! MARIO WILL NEVER GET PAST ME DEFEN- Mario: *boing* *boing* *boing boing* *babababoing*

He killed a hammer bro from under him? How did he not die? Was it the hitbox or something?

This game is too short. It needs DLC, like Black Ops.

why the pirhana didn't damage him?

At 2:48, you can very clearly see he touches the Piranha Plant and doesn't die....... Baloney

When she says "my parents aren't home"

i imagine how his hands felt after that

On level 8-2 the person did the entire level while jumping backwards. AWESOME!

MUA HA HA HA HA!!! At last, Princess Toadstool is mine, and no one can possibly stand in my... What? ... A plumber? ... And his name is what? ... Well we has eight worlds to conquer before he can get to me, so we have plenty of time to ... He WHAT??? How did he get here so fast??? ... What in the world is a warp zone??? ... Well regardless, he has to figure out my elaborate maze if he has any hope of OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD I see him, quick, where are my hammers???

i remember when my dad got me my first every video game (mario) those were the days :)

Wow at the amount of people saying fake or that cheats were used lol. So ignorant, learn what TAS is. Can't read the comments, makes my head hurt at that level of stupidity.

3:23 glitch in the matrix :p

there should be a michael jackson song while he's going backwards 😂

Sonic: Im the fastest Flash: No I am. Mario: can you beat this in 4:57 Minutes?

Mario: I'll be back in 5 minutes Luigi: but your dinner will get cold! Mario: the princess has been captured again! Luigi :*whspers* bitch needs to be on a leash

So I'm to believe a HUMAN BEING did this? If so, I've never seen such impressive gaming. Except when I'M in the zone, of course :P

For who is wondering this because they're stupid, he doesn't die to the piranha plants because they're hitbox is so small that you can just jump over it. And this is not fake it's just a tas

It looks so funny at 3:53 when he hits a Hammer Bro in the butt and it kills him.

4:57 staring contest!

0:19 whoever did that is non human

Remember when the warp zone was this amazing secret? Also them piranha plaint ain't doing shit.

I'm pretty sure he died at 3:23. I'm not saying it's not possible to beat it so fast just saying it didn't happen here.

3:53 this moment is a proof of your cheating, how you killed the enemy ?

Sorry you cant run through the plants!!!

I love speed runs soooo much!

When u have less time to complete a n exam but u studied hard

Fake as hell. Not discounting the obvious piranha deaths, the give away was on World 1-2. The glitch that enables you to pass through the blocks and into the Warp Zone can't be completed the way this player attempted, because the ROM only loads active (properly working) pipes when you take the intended route; over the blocks at the top of the screen. The route this player took, which is commonly used for the Minus World glitch, wouldn't tell the game to load the correct data, such as the Warp Zone text and level information. Also, you can't even pass through the blocks at that speed or angle.

Yeah you didn't include it was a TAS in the title. Good job uploader.

Swear i saw an assistant teacher do this at my old daycare one time.

why is he all backwards all the time?

to all those who call this bullshit go here twitch tv/andrewg1990 and watch the game run no legit runner uses cheats and a tas is for entertainment and to showcase how broke a game can be

You're a freak of nature !!! That's one heck of a run. I haven't played this game in a couple of decades (I believe the last time I played was 2002) and recently picked it up and man it is a LOT harder than some of the modern games we're used to.

He IS using a cheat. Just prior to 1:25 he passes directly through the secon plant without diing

LOL I like how he knocks the wings off a turtle by jumping into it from underneath at 3:24. Some of the plants didn't kill him when he went right through them as well. Clearly cheating.

Absolutely zero hesitation

If u are using TAS then mention it. It is so obvious that was TAS. Such coward doesnt mention u are using that.

3:53 SAY WHUUUT??!??

This is a TAS, because it's impossible to get 244 on the timer in 8-3 without using Left+Right.

How the heck did you walk backward and jump like that? Amazing!

Aimbot ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I tried drinking coca cola and eating pizza slices during the run, and tried having a heartbeat rate not attached to my body and I still can’t speedrun it. How?

WTF?! 1:53

this game took like a week to finish when i was 5

you've breaked the world record if you complete world 8-3 by using flagpole glitch

Go home Game Genie. You're drunk.

What is the purpose of running then turning around backwards when you jump?

Also, it was impossible to do an FPG, a 347 in 1-2, the Lightning 4-2 framerule without the 11-pixel bump or the Kriller37 top clip, the KosmicZ BBG, and an extra-perfect 8-4 when this video was made. Back then, the world record was a 4:58 by AndrewG. However, compared to this TAS's time, his record actually clocked in at a 5:01. Back then, people didn't even know that hitting the top of the flagpole saved time, or even the fast 4-2 and BBG that made a 4:57 (which in this comparison, a 5:00) possible. Timeline: 2011: This video was made. 2013: Fast 4-2 and BBG discovered, BBG ruled out due to luck, but fast 4-2 was hard 2014: First 4:57/5:00 with BBG without 4-2, due to the "Golden Frame" principle 2015: FPG era: 4:57.01 was the human limit back then, until FPG's became humanly possible 2016: First 4:56/4:59 with 1-1 and 4-1 FPG's, and fast 4-2 with BBG 2017: 4-2 Blazit clip discovered, as well as the 1-2 347, enabling humans to get a 4:55 2018: First 4:55/4:58 on par with AndrewG's Any% plan, first pl8-1 2019: First KosmicZ BBG, first Kriller37 top clip 2020: First low 4:55 with KosmicZ BBG 2021: First 4:54 with pl8-1 2022? First low 4:54/4:57 with Kriller37 top clip? 2023? First 4:53 with 243 FPG?* *Only works in Super Mario Bros. Extended.

0:59 wtf ive tired to do that all the time it never works

I bet this can be outspeeded :3

Ok but why doesn’t mario care about the piranha plants feelings and keeps invading their personal space that’s kinda rude

Pause it at 3:16 and 3:20 even more so....he clearly got touched by the venus fly trap if you watch in slow motion. All credibility lost.

3:23 in slowmo

Bowser: "Wtf??!!!...How'd you get here so fas...??!!"..(Bowser in Lava) Mario: "Thank you so much for to playing my game"

Tell me the logic of 3:23 -.-

has el reto pero sin hax :v

10 YEARS AGO????

TAS?

Hacks, Hacks EveryWhere

you really expect me to believe this when the hit box has been modified

Meh. TAS

This is definitely TAS. There were tens of frame-perfect, pixel-perfect jumps! Just noticed it says it's from a TAS website in the desc.

Mom:son it's time to go to sleep Son:no just let me finish the game Mom:WHAAAAAT

Crazy gameplay. Nice tas dude!
