The question was whether or not an actual human could improve on what is already an extremely optimized run that requires pixel-perfect control. At least, that’s what tool-assisted speedruns, which can be written frame by frame, tell the experts. You can check out Niftski’s streaming adventures on Twitch here.Theoretically, a faster time has always been possible. So while this run is definitely perfect for now, a more perfect run could theoretically be discovered in the future… Does that make sense? Whether or not that happens could take years or more, as the 4:55 standard has been the wall for quite some time now, but it’s all about trying out every angle for new challengers. With that said, you never know when something new can be discovered or an advanced tactic can be tried with speedruns across the board, so others are certain to try to find a way to shave off a moment.
Shaving off the milliseconds in this particular run makes all the difference, and while speedrun records are constantly in flux, this one might be “the one” for Mario. In this particular case, it really does come down to milliseconds, as a cache of other incredible speedruns have the Mario adventure down to 4 minutes and 55 seconds proper. Warp pipes, am I right? Check out the run right here! is obviously a title with no shortage of speedrunning attention, as numerous folks have attempted to make Mario’s journey faster and faster over the years, ever since its first outing on the NES before any sort of speedrunning was a competitive practice. Sometimes, all factors need to really line up to glean that additional and sometimes miraculous split second to make a speedrun ascend to greatness. Obviously, this includes the incredibly skilled speedrunning preparation, practice, and precise play from Niftski.
While anything is possible, this new run is being called perfect (or close to it) by others in the speedrunning community, as apparently everything lined up immaculately on every end of things. In speedruns for many classic games, seconds are all that separate the record from other competitors. THE 55 BARRIER IS FINALLY BROKEN! This is the single greatest accomplishment out of anything I've ever done with this game! Huge thanks to everyone who supported me on this grind!! <3
