New World Record Set in Super Mario Bros. Speedrun

The world of speedrunning has been rocked by a new world record in the classic game Super Mario Bros., and it comes just 395 days after the previous record was established.

Niftski, a prominent figure in the speedrunning community, managed to secure this remarkable achievement on September 6 by completing the game with a time of 4:54.63, besting the previous record of 4:54.798. At first glance, the .167-second difference might seem negligible, but the true significance lies in the details of how this feat was accomplished.
