I came across this video today and ended up spending over an hour watching the whole thing.

It brings back memories of my childhood when I played Super Mario Bros 3 on my SNES. I obviously wasn’t as good as the person in this video, and it took much longer than an hour and seven minutes for me to beat the whole game, but it still entertained me pretty well.

For those of you wondering how that video is possible, it’s a tool-assisted speed run that particularly focuses on exploiting glitches and programming bugs. That means that the person that played and re­corded this footage used an emulator on a computer to play the game, and was able to rewind the game, replay portions, and use other tools available on his emulator to make the final product.

“Everybody has a photographic memory. It’s just that some people don’t have any film.”
