Top Super Mario Bros. Speedrunner | Multiple World Record Holder | Twitch Affiliate | "Sunday Speedrunner Spotlight" Podcast Host | Trying Content Creation Soon
A few hours ago Super Mario 64 was beaten without pressing the A button RTA for the first time ever by Marbler. It took 86 hours (mostly waiting for the Fire Sea platforms on the Wii VC version to rise high enough to skip the pole). This is an incredible gaming achievement.
I JUST GOT THE FIRST 5:02 IN SMB1 GLITCHLESS HISTORY! 5:02.984! LAST BARRIER FOR THE CATEGORY! This was literally my first attempt of the day. I cannot believe I just clutched this first try after 3 months of grinding and 223 runs to 8-4 after my first 5:03.051 WR. IT'S OVER!!!!!
I JUST GOT THE FIRST 18:57 IN SMB1 WARPLESS!!! NEW WORLD RECORD!!! FIRST EVER ATTEMPT OF 3-3 FPG IN A RUN AND A GOT IT AND CLUTCHED OUT THE WHOLE REST OF THE RUN FIRST TRY WTF WHAT IS LIFE LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOO!!!
If you want to get the Super Mario Bros. speedrun world record now, you have to literally tie the tool-assisted speedrun all the way to 8-4.
Even though there will always be frames to save in 8-4, the category is essentially dead now, but like for real.
Congratulations
@Niftski
on breaking the SMB1 Any% record with a 4:54.631!!!
Niftski was **23%** with TAS 4-2 this stream, a level of consistency no one is matching for a fair while
New SMB1 Warpless World Record of 18:59.008. Missed 18:58 by one whole frame. I was really happy about this run when I finished it thinking I had gotten the first 18:58, but now that I know the actual time, I could not be more devastated by the result. Thanks lag frames. FML

These aren’t just YouTube videos anymore, they’re full-on events. A trailer with an orchestral cover? At this rate I expect an actual movie in the next few years.
I hate drama, but I care about the speedrunning community and want to protect it.
Speedrunner/Twitch Partner AdamFerrari is dangerous to women in our community, and should not be welcome back.
Pease read/share, and tell your stories if you have them.
Just an FYI if you watch someone beat a WR that someone else spent a lot of time on and was proud of and you're like "EZ WR" or "free WR" (especially when it clearly wasn't), you make the other person feel like shit and it's a real dick move. Don't do that. Rant over.
I FINALLY GOT SMB2J WARPLESS WR! 21:21.689! I'VE BEEN GRINDING WR FOR 14 MONTHS AND IT FINALLY HAPPENED! MOST OVERDUE WR OF MY SPEEDRUNNING CAREER!
Also lost 4 seconds in 7-4 so 21:1x tomorrow.
Just went through one of the hardest moments of my life. My best friend passed away today. He was healthy Christmas Day. Something suddenly failed. It was all way too fast for me to process. He was 11. I held his paw as he was put to rest. RIP Shadow. You were the greatest boy.

I’ve seen double downs before. I’ve seen reversals after double downs before. But the double down reversal reversal? Might be a new low by YouTube I didn’t even think was possible.
4:56.062! Fastest 4:56 ever! Was on 4:55 pace until I screwed up an enemy manip in 8-3 and couldn't go for FPG. Only 4 frames from 4:55 now. Hopefully it happens soon.
Submitted my SMB1 Glitchless WR to Twin Galaxies for the memes and it has officially been accepted, so now I have a literally perfect Super Mario Bros. speedrun according to the TG ruleset/timing lol.
5 years ago I discovered what speedrunning was.
Best discovery I've ever made.
I can't believe it has already been 5 years, nor can I believe how much I've done in that time. I have no idea what I would be doing if I never found this community. Here's to 5 more.
Thank you!
I didn't quite "destroy" WR like I said I would yesterday but I GOT 2J WARPLESS WR! 21:19.576! FINALLY GOT MY LONG OVERDUE 21:1x! Got it the day before I left for vacation too lol. Pretty bad end game but Bowser being a bro secured it. Now to grind for 21:14!
One year ago today, I started the Sunday Speedrunner Spotlight. There's now 53 full episodes, and I successfully released a new one every week. I want to give a huge thanks to everyone who's watched and supported the show. The feedback has been great, and I've been having a blast
Alright last one. NEW WR AND FIRST 5:02! Matched my glitchless PB to 8-2 then got BBG and one frame walljump in 8-4 with a pretty quick glitchless 3rd room! Really good run for having to deal with about 4 frames of input lag. Awesome run for the first day!
Just got a new SMB1 Glitchless WR of 5:03.151, the first .1xx! Really good 8-4, but I plan to improve this to a .0xx since it's only 4 frames away and I can easily save those frames in block climb and water exit. Very happy to get this run!
Exactly one year ago today I pulled off what probably is the greatest speedrun I've ever done. After a 2 year long grind I finally got my goal of breaking a second barrier in the Super Mario Bros. Warpless speedrun and achieved the first ever 18:57!
Every world record in Super Mario Bros. Any% history (with video proof) finishing at the same time (with all reactions too). Go watch the video it looks really cool and took me forever to make lol.
Had an amazing time at SGDQ! My first ever on-stage GDQ run went better than I ever could have dreamed of, and I met and talked to so many awesome people, both old and new. Thank you everyone for making this a trip I will never forget.

I remember at PACE last year I was in a car with Suigi and he was talking about really wanting to one day get the ultimate 16 star run of around 14:36.
Welp, here we are.
I've been dreading making this post for about a week now, but I want to give an update as to why I tweeted this and why I haven't been streaming much at all recently. I'm a bit embarrassed to post this, but hoping it'll be helpful for me to do so. Appreciate you all.
FIRST EVER SUB 19:45 IN SMB1 WARPLESS ALL-STARS!!! Probably the last major barrier for this category in a long while. Time is 19:44.998, breaking this barrier by a single frame lol. CLUTCH GAMING!

New SMB1 Glitchless WR of 5:03.284, a 5 frame improvement! This literally took one single attempt since my last WR. The 8-4 was pretty much perfect for me except messing up fast accel in first room. I just can't believe this happened.
GOT MARIO MASTER WR BACK! This run had BBG and 2 FPGs, which is insane with the amount of input lag there is. This run was technically 5:01 pace into 8-4 but I played it safe. I plan to grind for that time next. Hopefully this will secure first place for the World Championship!
2 big PBs today! 2 frame SMB1 Glitchless WR improvement of 5:03.018 (2 frames from 5:02) and got 7:55.949 in SMB2J Any% despite being a framerule behind optimal pace for 7:55. Saved that run by getting an insane 8-4 to clutch it out!
I'M TRYING MY OWN SPEEDRUNNING EVENT! This will be a fundraising event, raising money to help me get out of a current financial rough spot. Submit your runs and join the discord using the links below. Submissions will close next Friday at 8PM CDT. Please share around. Thank you!
SGDQ was amazing. I think this was the best week of my life. Thank you to every single person who interacted with me and made this event unforgettable. I’m so happy and proud to be a part of this incredible community. See y’all on the internet, and future events. ❤️

"Straight up, we made a mistake."
The mistake YouTube made was hiring braindead idiots to handle their support. To everyone at YouTube involved in this situation (and all the other thousand similar situations that happen almost daily at this point), please go fuck yourselves.
NEW SMB1 WARPLESS ALL-STARS WORLD RECORD! 19:44.383! Half a second improvement over the previous WR despite losing 0.7 of free time near the end. Expect a mid 19:43 soon!
