Super Mario Bros. has found its new speedrunning champion, and he may hold that title for the foreseeable future.
Kosmic, a streamer who specializes in speedrunning various Mario games, did what many players thought impossible earlier this week. After tying with the previous Any% world record of 4:56.245, Kosmic kept going — and managed to best it, shocking fans as he became the first person to set a record under the 4:56 mark.
