I improved the world record by playing 8-4 faster than Darbian did in the previous record. There will always be frames to save in 8-4 for a new world record. People hear about something called the '21 Frame Rule', which basically puts a limit on how quickly you can beat each level, but that doesn't include 8-4. “It's a common misconception that the Mario 1 record is perfect. To start us off, Kosmic wanted to wash away the idea of the Super Mario Bros record being perfect, especially in the game’s last stage of the route. It has not yet been submitted to the Twin Galaxies Scoreboards. Note that this run is at the top of the Leaderboards. Following him putting up a 4mins:56secs:462mil run of Super Mario Bros, we reached out to Kosmic for a quick interview. Kosmic is a fantastic Mario player, popping up on several leaderboards in the speedrunning world. Even after the phenomenal work of Darbian who held the record for more than a year, his rival Kosmic continues to push things further, ever proving that few runs are ever truly optimized. Then it came to tricking the game to warping Mario to a skip without the usual method of going up a plant, requiring runners to push the camera with clever movement just to line up things pixel perfect.
The run has evolved over the years, incorporating a couple tricks that many thought were impossible for a human to pull off, like being able to clip through a particular wall.
When it comes to speedrunning the original Super Mario Bros, it seems like runners have pushed the game to the absolute limit.
