Seorang gamer dengan julukan kosmickid12 telah memecahkan rekor dunia bermain speedrun _Super Mario Bros._ dengan memanfaatkan glitch yang ada.

[**Kosmickid12 berhasil menamatkan game dalam waktu 4 menit, 55 detik, dan 913 milidetik**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gum4GI2Jr0s). Dia bermain sepertiga detik lebih cepat dari rekor yang dipegang oleh somewessince Mei lalu. Dia menyelesaikan permainannya pada Nintendo Entertainment System asli tanpa menggunakan emulator sama sekali.

Speedrunner dituntut cerdas dalam mengambil langkah yang bisa membuat mereka menamatkan permainan dengan cepat. Berhasil atau tidaknya speedrun tergantung pada frame animasi yang singkat dan strategi yang digunakan untuk memanfaatkan glitch.

Rekor speedrun _Super Mario Bros._ [**sudah sering dipecahkan selama beberapa tahun belakangan dengan menggunakan glitch tiang bendera**](https://kotaku.com/new-glitch-reignites-the-super-mario-bros-speedrun-rac-1787596081). Pemain akan membuat Mario (atau Luigi) naik ke balok penyangga tiang bendera di babak terakhir tanpa menjatuhkan bendera. Apabila speedrunner berhasil melakukan ini, mereka akan melompati beberapa frame dan menghemat waktu bermain.

Kosmickid12 menghabiskan Senin malamnya di Twitch untuk berlatih menggunakan glitch tiang bendera dan glitch baru yang memungkinkan Mario untuk merayap melalui dasar dinding balok di World 1-2 dan langsung menuju World 4 dengan sangat cepat.

"Kira-kira saya bakalan jadi gamer paling berambisi gak ya?" gurau kosmickid12. "Pertama kalinya speedrun nih."  
  
Sama seperti speedrunner lainnya, dia baru mulai serius memainkan game ketika menyadari kemungkinan memecahkan rekor dunia. Dia bermain dengan sempurna pada speedrun kesembilan. Dia berhasil melompati seluruh rintangan, menghindari Goomba, dan memegang bagian bawah tiang bendera ketika menuju Bowser&#x2019;s Castle.

Dia telah mengalahkan rekor sebelumnya saat menginjak kapak dan menjatuhkan Koopa King ke dalam lahar pada akhir World 8. Speedrunnya sangat impresif. Dia juga menjadi gamer pertama yang sukses membuat Mario berlari melalui dinding pada World 1-2.  
  
Speedrunning bisa membuat game klasik _Super Mario Bros._ tetap diminati dengan memberikan tantangan-tantangan baru seperti menamatkan game secepat mungkin. Rekor Kosmickid12 sulit untuk dikalahkan, tetapi menonton gamer lain mencoba mengalahkannya akan sangat menyenangkan.

"The most clutch gamer alive." It was supposed to be a joke but somehow this happened- the first 4:55 in Super Mario Bros. and probably the last second-barrier that will ever be broken in this game. When I say "My FIRST run" in this video, I mean my first run ever to get past 1-2 on that pace. The 9 in the top corner of the timer was to keep track of how many attempts I'd done once I started going for the pipe clip in 1-2, so this was my 9th run since I started attempting that trick and my first run that got it successfully. 

I can't believe this happened, but I'm very proud of this accomplishment :)

This run was played on a real NES with an original NES controller. If anything looks unusual to you in this speedrun, here are some resources that can answer questions you may have:

This video explains basically every aspect of this speedrun and how/why it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FQJEzJ_cQw


Here is a list of specific frequently asked questions with answers and resources:

Q: How did you skip the flag coming down in 1-1, 4-1, and 8-3? 

A: A very precise jump at the bottom of the flagpole makes the flag not come down. Someone by the name of Sockfolder figured out a somewhat consistent way for humans to do this. Watch this video for more information: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucBAwdS3YB4


Q: Why did you not die when you touched the piranha plants?

A: This is an old game and a lot of the enemy hitboxes aren't in line with the enemy sprites. Look at this picture to see what i mean http://i.imgur.com/DpY0WaS.png


Q: How did you get inside the wall in 4-2? Why did the pipe take you to the warp zone? Aren't you supposed to climb the vine?

A: Very precise inputs make it possible to get inside the wall. This lets us change how close mario is to the right edge of the screen and tricks the game into sending you to the wrong place. I do a similar thing in the 3rd room of 8-4. For more info: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1AHCaokqhg


Q: What did you do at the flagpole in 8-2?

A: This is similar to the glitch I did in the other levels to skip the flagpole, but even better. Look at this picture for details: http://i.imgur.com/DpY0WaS.png


Q: How did you jump off the pipe in 8-4?

A:  By jumping at a very precise spot on the pipe Mario will actually stand inside of the pipe for 1/60th of a second, and if you press the jump button during this period of time you will jump. More info on this image: http://i.imgur.com/DpY0WaS.png


Q: How did you not die to bowser's hammers?

A: Sometimes you simply jump through a gap in the hammers, and sometimes you actually go right through a hammer. This is because the game can't always handle having all those hammers on screen at once, so some of them don't have hitboxes.
