Super Mario Bros. Any% Speedrun in 4:54.881 *WR*
Absolutely incredible run. Since the start of the 4:54.8 grind, I had 7 runs to 8-2, and this was the first run out of 8-2 going for 4:54.8. I am very happy I was able to clutch out 8-3 and 8-4! My heartrate ended up peaking at 189 BPM after the run was over! This run is also a double WR since I got Both Quests WR right after with an 8:00.875. As for the future of myself and this category, I'm not too sure yet, but I'll likely go for 4:54.7xx sometime in the future! From the bottom of my heart, huge thank you to everyone that supported me and watched my streams during this grind! As a side note, for those concerned about my heartrate being high, my normal resting heartrate is ~70 BPM average. When I am doing runs and constantly getting some of them far, drinking caffeine, and streaming, it can occasionally linger over 100 BPM. Compared to my normal resting heartrate, this is a whole different thing, and doing speedruns isn't a resting heartrate when nerves can skyrocket at any given time due to the pace. Hopefully this clears up any confusion, I am completely healthy and do not have any heart condition! Another frequently asked question is about keyboard / emulator. Emulation for this game is 100% accurate, which means that anything that can be done on an NES is possible on emulator. Keyboard offers no advantage, and it is actually debatably worse for speedrunning this game. I use keyboard over controller for personal preference reasons, I have been playing games on keyboard since a little kid, and I have a very good feel for it compared to controller. For speedrun.com, emulator has been allowed since the beginning of time, and no rules were ever changed just to allow emulator. Another misconception is that some people think I am able to input L+R using a keyboard. It is possible to do so, but since it isn't possible with a standard NES controller without it being broken or modified, inputting this is banned. I have to have an option in my emulator settings that makes L+R input nothing, so no invalid input was done during this run. Hopefully this clears up any confusion, emulator / keyboard is a completely valid and legitimate way of speedrunning this game, and this is a verified run at https://ift.tt/3phsBCo.
