Super Mario Bros. Speedrun in

- "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?
A: A very precise jump at the bottom of the flagpole makes the flag not come down. Someone by the name of Sockfolder figured out a somewhat consistent way for humans to do this. Watch this video for more information: • flagpole glitch
Q: Why did you not die when you touched the piranha plants?
A: This is an old game and a lot of the enemy hitboxes aren't in line with the enemy sprites. Look at this picture to see what i mean i.imgur.com/DpY0WaS.png
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?
A: Very precise inputs make it possible to get inside the wall. This lets us change how close mario is to the right edge of the screen and tricks the game into sending you to the wrong place. I do a similar thing in the 3rd room of 8-4. For more info: • How is this speedrun p...
Q: What did you do at the flagpole in 8-2?
A: This is similar to the glitch I did in the other levels to skip the flagpole, but even better. Look at this picture for details: i.imgur.com/DpY0WaS.png
Q: How did you jump off the pipe in 8-4?
A: By jumping at a very precise spot on the pipe Mario will actually stand inside of the pipe for 1/60th of a second, and if you press the jump button during this period of time you will jump. More info on this image: i.imgur.com/DpY0WaS.png
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.

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.

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

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.
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.

If enough people report it for scam or misleading content I'm sure RUclips will have to do something. Different laws of countries don't overwrite that RUclips is still its own platform with its own set of rules.

Have you seen this stupidly insane guy named TAS he has wr on every game
TAS even has their own unique techniques that only they can do, it's crazy
Yeah, I wounder how he plays through the games so much faster then everyone else.
@@thatonedriver3247 Probably due to his frame perfect movement
I heard that TAS and data from tng were roomies in the academy.
I've heard that TAS is not one person, but multiple persons. Everyone of them puts their time in different sections, perfecting the art of singleframe inputs, perfecting the route of their part. In the ultimate run, they use two controllers connected so that both can control the protagonist. Once one person finished their part they just hotswap the runner for the next part. It's comparable to splicing, but not handled as such since it is still the same run.
They call themselves TAS, because that stands for "Teamwork and Splices"
Today is 5 years since my favorite speedrun ever happened. Thanks Kosmic for this legendary moment.

"This is the 4:55. Tell your friends." I can't believe you did it in your first 4:55 pace after 1-2. Congratulations on first achieving 4:55! Also, huge respect for somewes, who is also a great player and has contributed a lot for 4:55 attempts.
as you are a tas player, what's the best possible time you can get? And whats the best time a human can possibly get?
I haven't tried real-time speedruns yet (probably not my thing). Right now I'd say Kosmic's very closed to that best time, but some time can be saved in 8-4.
Happy Lee what about the best possible time any tas player can possibly get? Maybe there are glitches or skips that we have never found before. Remember, the limits are never where we think they are
The best time any TASer can possibly get is my TAS WR in 2010 - 4:57.31. Maybe you're right, but at least it's the known limit for over 8 years.
@@HappyLeeHL that time seems wrong (4:57) might want to change that for other fools reading the comments like me
Congrats man.
Is this even beatable? I feel like it's approaching TAS Levels at this point LOL
Good shit
The only area that you can reasonably hope to see improved is a better 8-4. If you put the 8-4 in Kosmic's 4:56.462, which has the best 8-4 ever in a run, you get a 4:55.762. There is another framerule in 8-1 that has been saved by a human, but that's *much* too hard to be expected in a future run
edit 3/4/21: LMAOOOOOOOOO
Hungrybox beatable. But insanely difficult

Yoo thanks hbox! 8-4 was a little sloppy so there's like 0.2 to save there but that's it!
Until faster path is found, I think this is the run!
Hey man I know it's been 4 years but congratulations on this. I have so much respect for you.
i am soo happy you made it. congratulations
He actually made another world record a few months ago, check that out.
4:54 is theoretically possible now with the extra 4-2 frame rule, and 8-1 frame rule. Hopefully this will happen one day! (heck, maybe we can find a way to save a frame rule on 8-2 as well, to match the TAS all the way to 8-4.
MegaZeroX7 what are the frame rules again?
@@Beyondthe5thPanel this video is long, but is really good at explaining this: ruclips.net/video/_FQJEzJ_cQw/видео.html
@@Beyondthe5thPanel For a MASSIVELY simplified synopsis, there are finite "blocks" of time that you can save in a level. If you finish a level in the middle of a "block", the game will actually delay loading until the end of that "block" before loading the next one.
In speedrunning terms, it means that you can't complete the game any faster by getting single frame improvements in each level. You actually have to find a single level where you can save a "block" of frames to make an improvement.
Yeah it could match the non-cheat tas of this game 😯

Just another FAQ about the speedrun, but this time, it’s not by Kosmic. I’ll try to help answer all of the questions that are frequently asked in the comments, for the people that are somehow too illiterate to read a pinned comment and can type one themselves.
Q: He clearly clips through multiple Piranha Plants. He’s hacking!
A: The hitboxes for Piranha Plants are actually incredibly small and only reach to about 3/4 of the plant’s actual height. He manages to avoid the hitbox of the plant, while still touching its sprite, which for those of us that don’t have much coding experience, are different things.
Q: How come I saw a menu pop up at the end with a mouse? He’s using an emulator!
A: That was actually the window for his recording software, AmarecTV. Additionally, emulators are allowed anyway.
Q: He stole this from Badabun!
A: Oh, you sweet innocent child. You really don’t know anything, do you? You really don’t know how horribly and blatantly obvious it is that Badabun’s run is fake? Here, let me explain it to you.
1. The timer is inaccurate.
Although the timer says ~5:12, the actual time is ~4:56. This was, in fact, 2 seconds faster than the fastest record at the time, which was supposedly done by some guy sitting at a heart rate of 87 bpm eating pizza and drinking cola.
2. The timer stops itself.
If you would notice in Badabun’s video, when he ends up beating Bowser, the timer stops on its own, even though it’s normally stopped manually by the runner via some sort of button or switch.
3. Badabun used spliced runs from other speedrunners.
As explained in this video (insert link here), Badabun used spliced footage from other speedrunners to sloppily forge their own, not even editing out visual distortions or inconsistencies.
4. Badabun used impossible strategies for non-TAS players.
If you would observe how Badabun moves at the start of each level, or how they move in the water level, it’s actually Badabun doing a TAS trick called “Fast acceleration”. Fast acceleration is a trick where you press both the left and right buttons at the same time to quickly gain speed. This is physically impossible on an NES controller, which is what they were observed using.
That’s it for the main reasons I can think of off the top of my head, back to the Q&A.
Q: He clearly wall-jumped in 8-4, that’s impossible!
A: Wall-jumping is a frame-perfect trick that allows you to jump a second time during the 1/60 of a second window where Mario is inside of a block when you ram into a wall at max speed.
Q: He paused the timer in the middle, the timer is delayed!
A: The timer is simply visual, the real time is counted by the number of frames.
Q: He skipped multiple worlds, that’s not allowed!
A: He is doing a run called an Any% run, where the only goal is to complete the final objective in as little time as possible. In this format of speedrun, beating every level or world isn’t necessary, or even optimal.
Q: How could he do all this so skillfully, surely this is a robot doing this.
A: Years and years of practice.
Let me know if I missed anything!
Outside of saying I'm playing on console, the answer to the emulator part is very wrong
Kosmic My bad; what should it be instead?
@@TheCoroboCorner it's the recording software amarectv that the mouse is over and the menu that pops up. I already do connect my nes controller to the computer in a way, as seen with my input display. There is nothing illegal about that or playing on emulator.
Kosmic There you go, fixed it.
Someone get this guy a medal
*Darbian has left the chat*
But somewes didnt lol
Literally :P
Lamo
congrats kosmic on this legendary achievement
4:55 in 9 attempts.
It's so fun coming back to these former WR vids and seeing the progress unfold
People need to get a run with L4-2 (which will probably happen vefore 2023), multiple fast accels in 8-4 and perfect turnaround and walljump (the last two arent insanly hard, but getting the fast accels are incredibly hard)
We’re close
Andrewg got first 4:58
Blubbler first 4:57
darbian first 4:56
... kosmic first 4:55 !!
congrats!!! 4 : 5 5 kosmicZ
Nobodycallsmetubby the G also got the first 4:59

Disconnected Yeah, with current strats, it isn’t possible. But we’ll never know...
Kevin, that's insane :D you need to be as good as a fuckin TAS run to achieve it :D
