Speedrunner Breaks Super Mario Bros. World Record While Dressed as the Italian Plumber, Now Just 2 Frames From Theoretical Perfect Run

Niftski, the speedrunning world record holder for Super Mario Bros., beat his own record on a Halloween livestream while dressed as Mario. Speaking in character, he said: “Hopefully I don’t get this today because that would be very stupid.” Guess what?

This Halloween run, which you can watch on Niftski's YouTube channel, shaved 0.33 seconds off the previous world record, also held by Niftski — two frames away from a perfect run.

4:54.299 SMB1 ANY% WORLD RECORD ON HALLOWEEN WHILE LARPING AS MARIO! It doesn't even feel real that I actually achieved this, but here we are. Only 2 frames (33 milliseconds) stand between this run and absolute perfection / TAS tie. 4:54.265 next! https://t.co/S1ZpmEMG4c

According to Niftski, those two frames were lost early in the run and kept him away from a “perfect run,” theorized to be the absolute pinnacle of Super Mario Bros. “any percent” attempts. He messed up fast accelerations in the first and second rooms by a small amount which cost one frame each.

If it is accurate and there are no more strats to bring the time down significantly, that just leaves the run and those two frames. That means there’s only two milliseconds left, which means there are only two more world records possible in the category.

“Will this be like the first ever game perfected? Like what's gonna happen once someone matches the TAS? It's just over?” asked one fan.

Niftski breaks the SMB1 world record while doing the worst Mario impression ever.
