The classic game that we grew up with completed incredibly fast. The length is 5:01.27 (18076 frames), from power on to touching the axe.
It is 148 frames (2.47 seconds) faster than the previous version, which beat something that was thought to be perfect.

Even in simple-looking games you can always find more time-saving tricks to exploit if you look hard enough. See what we've found at the Super Mario Bros tricks page.

The completion times for each level are:

  • 1-1: 370
  • 1-2: 347 (1 timeunit faster than previous version)
  • 4-1: 340
  • 4-2: 355 (5 timeunits faster than previous version)
  • 8-1: 200
  • 8-2: 342
  • 8-3: 242
  • 8-4: 315
