Kosmic shaves less than half a second off his Super Mario Bros. “Any Percentage” world record… and then retires

“KosmicD12” has run his last “Any Percentage” speedrun of Super Mario Bros..

The Mario master has set multiple world records over the years, but his most recent feat of crackerjack platforming might just be unbeatable. Using a combination of Warp Zones, glitches, and his own tip-top thumbs, “KosmicD12” completed the game in an astonishing four minutes and 55.646 seconds. He then promptly walked away from any future “Any Percentage” runs:

“This is everything I have ever wanted to accomplish in this speedrun, and even a little bit more. It is still improvable but I am not interested in the ridiculous things required to beat this, so that’s history for someone else to write!”

“KosmicD12” is looking for a new challenge, but he’s still going to keep playing Super Mario Bros. The speedrunner said that he’d like to tackle some of the game’s other speedrunning categories, and you can follow along on his Twitch channel.

Congratulations from all of us at Warp Zoned!
