SUPER MARIO BROS’ Speedrun Record Beaten After 2 Years

For two whole years, four minutes and 55 seconds ranked as the fastest that anyone could beat the original Super Mario Bros. game for NES. The world speedrun record was believed to be cemented back in 2018. And the NES player’s community thought the record that simply would not topple any time soon. But thanks to Polygon, we now know that someone has outdone this feat. And it sure didn’t take very long, in the grand scheme.
