A margin of 0.017 seconds effectively equates to a difference of no more than a single frame, highlighting just how fine the margins are when speedrunning the Nintendo classic. Having been second on the Super Mario Bros.speedrun ladder for a number of years now, fellow speedrunner Kosmic finally managed to break Darbian's previous record with a time of 4:57.227 – a microscopic difference of 0.017 seconds. However, it appears that Darbian may want to cut his retirement short because his seemingly untouchable speedrun record has just been broken – again. Just a year ago, expert speedrunner Darbian set a new speedrun world record of 4:57.627 for the Nintendo classic, only to lower the benchmark six months later when he re-broke the record by an infinitesimal 0.0007 seconds, before topping out at a time of 4:57.244 and subsequently "retiring". Super Mario Bros. may be over three decades old, but the pioneering title still maintains a steady gamer fanbase – some of whom are dedicated speedrunners that aim to finish the game in the quickest time possible.
