You thought that near-impossible Super Mario World glitch completion time was fast? It was just the beginning.
While the guy who first demonstrated the glitch, SethBling, has whittled his world-record-setting completion time all the way down to 3:07.2, heās been completely blown out of the water by another player who goes by the handle Dotsarecool. In the past week alone, heās managed to use the same glitch to break Super Mario Worldās āany% credits warpā (as this category of run has become known) world record five times in a row. His current best time? 1:52.5. (Note: it displays as 1:53.31 in the video because he didnāt reach to stop his timer until after heād finished the run.)
At this point, Dotsarecool is in a race with himself to shatter that record, and heās confident he can pull it off, too. āActually this run was only just averageāthere are still maybe about 4-8 seconds or more to cut off with better movement,ā he wrote of his most recent record-breaking run. You can see how heās improved from record break to record break on his YouTube channel.
For those only just joining us, this glitchāwhich warps players from the gameās first level straight to the creditsāwas only recently accomplished on a console. It does not involve any emulation and can be done from a good old-fashioned Super Nintendo, just as god and the pioneers intended. As a result, itās added a whole new dimension to Super Mario World speed-running.
I suppose what Iām saying is, right now Dotsarecool gets to wear the crown, but heās gonna have to hang onto it awfully tight if he doesnāt want someone else to pluck it right off his head.
