WORLD RECORD SUPER MARIO BROS FULL CLEAR-SPEEDRUN

While most viewers only see the more polished attempts, Pixel is quick to point out the amount of work that goes into being a good speedrunner. Performing difficult tricks and playing games at a consistently high level takes a ton of practice and that’s before adding in the pressure of being on record pace, or streaming runs for an audience. In total, it took him around 10 months to learn all six games and successfully complete the Marihour not a small feat, considering how hard it is to learn one game in speedrunning, let alone six. The next day, he beat that time by 10 minutes.

Improvement came quickly, and the first time that Pixel did all six games in a run, he ended up with a time of 1 hour and 22 minutes. And after a bit I would go back to the first game and I would suck at it, I would fail so hard.” “It was really tough because I would learn one game and think “Okay, I’m happy with this game” and then move on to a different game. So on top of learning all of the difficult speedrunning tricks, just getting used to the physics of the various games is one of the hardest parts.” and, all the other games have different physics.

The thing about the Marihour is, aside from Super Mario Bros. “When I first got into the Marihour, I learned it game by game I didn’t want to switch between games. With no background experience in the six featured Mario titles, he was forced to learn everything from the ground up.

Originally a Super Mario Odyssey speedrunner, Pixel made the decision to pursue the Marihour challenge in late 2019. “I wanted the world record.” PixelPerfectRuns told ggn00b in an interview. PixelPerfectRuns, however, had never done a speedrun for any of the six Mario games in the challenge and yet 10 months after setting out to complete the challenge, he became the fourth player to clear the Marihour on May 5th, 2020.

What’s most interesting about this exclusive list is that Darbian, LackAttack and Kosmic are longtime speedrunners with a mastery over multiple games.
