Less than two weeks after it launched, Super Mario Odyssey’s Any% speedrun world record was 1:11:48. Nine months later, it’s more than 10 minutes faster, and the community appears to be closing in on breaching the one-hour barrier.
The inspiring underdog story of LilKirbs14 notwithstanding (and it withstood for five days), veteran Odyssey speedrunner Suisaiga today turned in another world record Any% run — 1:01:34, taking another eight seconds off the game’s premier category.
