This Guy is amazing

After a suggestion from Ben Gwynne claiming that some guy could beat Super Mario Brothers in 5 minutes, i decided to have a look on Youtube and unsuprisingly (i can always count on BG for time wasting tips) it is true.

This guy is amazing. He (and i say he because i doubt there is a woman on theis planet that would take the time to beat the game, not to mention taking the time it takes to put it up on youtube) flies through each level not wasting his time on coins or mushrooms like the normal player. Using every warp possible, after just over 2 mins, he is on level 8-1. and finishes the game in 5:20 (the boards are longer on the 8th level).



A few notes:

He gets max points (5000) on every flag, except for the last one, where he sacrifices speed for points

On stage 8-3, there are a couple 'skips' in the video which suggests mario dies and the guy has to restart.

The players precision and timing is amazing. He never slows down or miss times a jump and always narrowly misses death. This must have taken HOURS, if not days
