You'll see just how little wiggle room he has in setting the record and, thanks to a heart rate monitor, how his pulse jumps from the mid-70s to more than 150 bpm at the end. speedrun in a YouTube replay above, but the Twitch archive of that run is more interesting. You can watch Darbian's record-setting Super Mario Bros. But Darbian said in a post on Reddit that there's room to improve upon his speedrun, as his performance in World 8-4 came with a few "mistakes." He also takes advantage of a glitch in World 8-2 to save himself a little time. Darbian's effort was done on a real NES - not an emulator - and he managed to shave a cool 66 milliseconds off the previous record, according to .ĭarbian's run was an "Any %" attempt, meaning he just had to make it to the ending, so warping straight to World 4-1 and World 8-1 was permitted. The entire tribute ends with each runner celebrating their achievement.This weekend, speedrunner "Darbian" set a new record for NES platforming classic Super Mario Bros., sprinting from World 1-1 to rescuing the Princess from King Koopa in just four minutes and 57 seconds. And then of course there’s the tool-assisted speedrun (TAS) by Human Theory, currently setting the benchmark for the best possible theoretical time at 4:54.265. More recently, a runner named Niftski has been leading the pack using a keyboard rather than an NES controller. Next Darbian came onto the scene, followed by the Kismic. Kessler and a speedrunner named Trevor Seguin traded records throughout the early 2000s. It was the last time more than a few seconds would be saved in a single run.
In April 2004, Scott Kessler cut down the known records by another minute. “I don’t think they were intended to be ‘speedruns,’ but are the earliest known videos of Super Mario Bros. “The first two runs were emulator movies posted to ‘High Level Challenge’ in 1999,” GTAce said. A month later, a player who went by Xox shaved over three minutes off.
It was the kind of run reminiscent of the best kid on your block growing up showing off in the basement. It begins with a player called Casion who established the first record of sorts with a time of 9:51 in April 1999.
