The art of speedrun. A really exciting way of living videogames, in which users decide make the most of your favorite titles and they seek to be able to beat them in the shortest possible time.
Surely the most representative test in this sense is to achieve the best mark in Super Mario Bros.. More than 30 years after its launch, there are still thousands of players who perform routines to overcome day by day.
Although we, those of us who do not venture into such a task, only see the result in the viral video of the shift with the best time, we are not aware of the large amount of work behind it. That is why the user FlibidyDibidy has created the definitive video so that we realize all that he has had to do to sneak into the top 150 times in the world.
That’s right, this player has taken over a year to combine the 5,162 attempts at Super Mario Bros. in a single piece. Has come to record 193 hours of attempts on its original 1985 NES. Its final mark was 4: 58.951, which is impressive and places it among the great times of the world.
All that time invested condensed into just seven minutes, crazy. 32 Marios out of 5,162 were the ones able to reach level 8-4, Bowser’s final castle and only 12 of them managed to rescue Princess Peach. FlibidyDibidy was from January to December 2020 doing these speedrun motivated by the confinement due to the coronavirus.
1,920 times he restarted the game himself, the biggest cause of his failures, followed by the Koopa and the Goomba with more than 900 bugs caused by them. Carrying out all this work is a titanic task that we celebrate for producing this unique audiovisual piece.
