Speedrunner Runs New Super Mario Bros. In Record Time With No Power Ups

Super Mario games are some of the most popular and enjoyable titles on the market. This is especially true for the select group of dedicated players who do their best to imporve their skills and execute amazing completions of the games in record times. This was the case for speedrunnner MyLittleWalrus, as the talented player was able to set a new world record by beating New Super Mario Bros. in half an hour without the use of any power ups, which is a feat not easily accomplished. 

The video above is of the entire run by MyLittleWalrus that was streamed on the player's Twitch channel, and it is a run that no member of the speedrunning community would want to miss. 

MyLittleWalrus' impressive New Super Mario Bros. speedrun was able to secure a new world record for the player, as his time of 30:37 surpassed the previous world record holder koffingrockz and his time of 31:24 by 47 seconds in the low% category. However, this is not the only record that MyLittleWalrus currently has to his name, as the player holds the top spot for the Cannonless category with a time of 46:35 and is at the top of the Any% category with a time of 23:28. 

With multiple records to MyLittleWalrus' name already, the speedrun community for New Super Marios Bros. should expect to see the skilled player continue to collect even more impressive feats and world records to their resume in the future.
