World Record Progression: Super Mario World

11:54 Note- Jeffw356 was actually the first person to do this glitch in a run, although he did it on emulator.

[Mugicha]

When I hear him say something like "he executed this run perfectly" and see another 8 minutes on the video, I get aroused.

Peach : I’ve been captured
Mario : Be there in a min

5:06 "...and the legendary Dram55..."
If at any point you did a series of videos on the careers of individual runners, I'd totally be down for that.

i love speedruns like this where they start out as skill tests and end as extremely abstract programming puzzles

[MsJavaWolf]

So what is your favourite programming language? Java? C++?
KOOPA SHELLS!

Dude, keep these coming they're awesome.

[supersophisticated]

Pfft, SethBling just used a bunch of invisible armor stands.

I feel so bad for the Japanese runner who lost his record only due to a new strat being found. Obviously, that's the way it goes in Speedrunning, but it's sad he never made it back on top.

"Rewriting the game code with koopa shells" don't know why it made me laugh so hard xD

[TwoMinutePapers]

Big +1 for the Mute City soundtrack. Amazingly nostalgic. :)

[PhoenixNoKiseki]

I think this deserves an update. Your skills have improved so much in the years since this was first published.

8:46 Wow I can't believe a cat was able to take a super mario world wr! So exited for the future of cats in speedruning!

5:38 I don't speak Japanese, but he sounds pretty excited

[DarMander]

This is SO INTERESTING! I’ve been playing this game my whole life and never knew about those glitches. The speed running culture is fascinating; some seriously talented people pushing video games to their limits. I love it

[ConkerHax]

These videos are so awesome, Ocarina of Time sounds like a good one.

[terriblewords]

You do realize that within a year, producing World Record Progression vids will be your full-time job, right?

[ChaseHoman]

I don't know where the hell you came from but I'm glad I found you, these videos are fucking awesome.

I love code wonk like this, where stuff only works because of bizarre limitations with the programming. It's like the Misingno glitch, this stuff only happens because of completely nonsensical coincidences due to the lack of storage space in 16 bits.

[pokepok]

I do believe Sethbling just posted a sub 1 minute run.
