Super Mario Bros. Speedrun in 4:55.913 (Former World Record)

"The most clutch gamer alive." It was supposed to be a joke but somehow this happened- the first 4:55 in Super Mario Bros. and probably the last second-barrier that will ever be broken in this game. When I say "My FIRST run" in this video, I mean my first run ever to get past 1-2 on that pace. The 9 in the top corner of the timer was to keep track of how many attempts I'd done once I started going for the pipe clip in 1-2, so this was my 9th run since I started attempting that trick and my first run that got it successfully.

I can't believe this happened, but I'm very proud of this accomplishment :)

New world record as of 9/24/2018

This run was played on a real NES with an original NES controller. If anything looks unusual to you in this speedrun, here are some resources that can answer questions you may have:

Here is a list of specific frequently asked questions with answers and resources:

Q: How did you skip the flag coming down in 1-1, 4-1, and 8-3?

Q: Why did you not die when you touched the piranha plants?

Q: How did you get inside the wall in 4-2? Why did the pipe take you to the warp zone? Aren't you supposed to climb the vine?

Q: What did you do at the flagpole in 8-2?

Q: How did you jump off the pipe in 8-4?

Q: How did you not die to bowser's hammers?

A: Sometimes you simply jump through a gap in the hammers, and sometimes you actually go right through a hammer. This is because the game can't always handle having all those hammers on screen at once, so some of them don't have hitboxes.

If you have any other questions feel free to ask in the comments or send me a private message.

Edit: Somewes beat this with a 4:55.79, and Bismuth made an incredible video explaining everything about the runs and what the future of this speedrun looks like.

Original comment: When I say "First run ever" I mean my first run that got past 1-2 on 4:55 pace. The 9 on the attempt counter is how many 4:55 pace attempts I'd done, soo yeah it only took 9... insane! I don't know how many total I've actually done, but it's probably upwards of 40, 000.

*Thanos:* I am inevitable.

I love how he is so so proud of himself after doing this speedrun, it's so wholesome and it makes me happy to see him being so amazed by himself, great job

[victorvalfierno]

FAKE! Didn't drink coke or eat pizza.

“I need to get some runs to 1-2”

*Breaks world record next attempt*

[brenduck]

"literally tied with the tas"
those have to be some of the most powerful words ever spoken by a human

[Moolers]

Still my favorite WR run. The escalating reactions to pulling off all the hard stuff are priceless and the "please finish" always stuck with me.

[dipie]

This dude can beat super mario faster than my computer takes to boot up

[SimpleFlips]

If you told me in 2012 a time like this would be achieved, I'd have banned you from my life.

Huge grats

8-3 is when Kosmic went from "Haha funny this run def isn't the one" to "Holy shit this could be it". Also I am very late to this party.

Smb speed runs are so fun to watch because it's not all glitches, it requires mechanical skill and knowledge of the game.

Peach: Please come over Mario!
Mario: I can’t right now!
Peach: My parents aren’t home!

[hhhhuser]

Even 4 years later, this is amazing. Keep the good SMB content up, Kosmic!

[snowstorm]

Luigi: "Bowser took peach"
Mario: "brb in 5 minutes"

[Mr.Oberman]

That was perfection Kosmic! Congratulations! 🎉🎉😆

[Aaron_Scissorhands]

I know this was 4+ years ago, but *_CONGRATS MY FRIEND!!_* I absolutely LOVED your genuine reaction!
Unlike most of the other players who make an attempt at a speed run record and get all cocky throughout the game and act like they're better than everyone else.
Definitely subbing to you! Keep em coming!! How about a Zelda speed run??

"You can only play for 5 minutes!"

"Hold my drink."
