Super Mario Bros speedrunners 0.1 seconds from a perfect run

gamingAug 11, 202612166

Super Mario Bros speedrunners are chasing a literal perfect playthrough after recent world records left just six frames, or 0.1 seconds, between current times and a frame‑perfect run. The conversation sharpened around the nail‑biting final level 8-4, where that tiny window can be lost or gained, and LeKukie’s June 2 world record run finishing 8-4 in 4:54.365 became the latest example of how close top competitors are. Players and commentators are obsessing over microtiming and exact enemy behavior that decide those final frames, breaking down single-frame inputs that would convert a near-miss into perfection.

two hours of details about how Goomas work in Mario 64 and how these properties are used in the A Button Challenge speedrun? Perfect. Why wasn't this the first video on my suggested page? www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcI1...

Goombas can do Noticed-Mario jumps multiple times because their jump causes them to go outside the detection radius for mario, triggering a re-jump when they re-enter the detection radius! Fascinating...

Still one of the better deals you can get for the Super Nintendo.

I remember walking in the crib one day and heading to the basement, and my pops just had the game. We ain't even ask for it. So glad we had it, though. Thanks, Pops.

La boîte occidentale du premier Super Mario Bros montre Mario en train de perdre une vie donc pourquoi pas 😁

Went to a local pizza place to celebrate my cousins' birthdays last night, and was greeted with The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! playing on the TV behind me.
