Niftski Shatters Super Mario Bros. Record with Historic 4:54.565 Speedrun

The phenomenon of speedrunning has gained immense traction in the gaming world, particularly with the surge of streaming platforms and challenging gameplay. While FromSoftware's titles have captured the spotlight, classic games like those in the Mario franchise maintain a dedicated fan base. Recently, a new benchmark has emerged in Super Mario Bros., setting the bar considerably high.

Speedrunner Niftski has reached an incredible milestone in the Any% category, finishing Super Mario Bros. in just 4:54.565. The competition to break existing records has become so closely contested that the differences are now measured in frames rather than seconds. Niftski expressed excitement about this achievement, stating, "This run is now 18 frames / 0.3 seconds shy of achieving total perfection! I aim to bring this down to 4:54.4xx and even less in the coming days, but at the moment, I am very satisfied with this run!"

This latest accomplishment brings the gaming community one step closer to an ultimate record for the original, unaltered version of Super Mario Bros. Niftski remains committed to striving for even greater success, intent on achieving another incredible milestone.
