Super Mario World (SNES) - Speed Run

This is a speed run through the game Super Mario World for Super Nintendo. This run was completed in January of 2012 and is my personal best time for this game. I know I can improve it. I'm roughly 3 seconds off the current world record time by a japanese player who goes by 'yaposon'.
Without the mistakes in the final stage, I think I would have surpassed the record by 1 or 2 seconds. This run is pretty nice, but I'm still going to try and improve it further.

Very nice, Andrew. Looking forward to seeing you smash the record.

[@JPWMcNeil]

Sick run. I used to beat it in 15-17 mins last decade but that was when I was a kid. Your upload is inspiring me to test the Star Road skip-whole-game scenario again to see how I'd do now.

[@derrarocket]

this has to be one of the best games ever i had to turn off the sound to beat bowser the first time the bloody music used to make me panic

[@latui7350]

Very nice run. Congratulations!

[@mrsluigi9478]

mario's journey is done, after all the hard work, all the time spent trying to save the princess. YEA, I ONLY TOOK ABOUT 10 MINUTES!

[@tuki3112]

I like at just under 7:00 when you spun the theme song hehe so cool!

[@SonicManEXE]

Aww, my childhood died!

[@myorigaccisbroken]

awesome run dude. almost perfection. well done.

[@l34ssl3oost]

Andrew the records yours to take, good luck. viewers: he killed himself because its faster to die then finish the stage normally, he only plays that level for the glitched orb which is used to skip the first castle

[@SpeedrunInternational]

Awww Yeah! You will get it Andrew! o/

[@Beminal1]

Parabéns pelo feito um jogo que fez parte da minha infância..

[@Roobitz]

Epic run man, really freakin awesome.

[@Ashes2Ashes_Blush2Blush]

I remember as a kid I'd be eating marshmellows on a summer's day watching my cousin play. :3

[@purplegill10]

@ChrisHunter12345 again 7 min...amazzing, it truly is fine sir

[@DaRkAleX09]

5:35 played this game so often, but never saw that way. well played

[@MrDeCorey]

10:48 Bowser I want to get out of here!

[@andrewg1990]

@megagregorz Yep! It's a bit tricky - took me a little time to master it. Basically, you have to shoot the Rex, jump off the yoshi, and have yoshi's tongue eat the coin you've just created at the same time you grab the coin. So basically, run until you hear the "chuck" turn around to about midway on the pipe and then press Y+A+> It's complicated to explain, fairly easy to do overall though.

[@EricSmyth4Christ]

Very Impressive. What was your best level in this run?

[@andrewg1990]

@cc12321 you exit the stage - no credits play (you can now start+select out of Bowser's castle)... game isn't technically beaten here

[@ChrisHunter12345]

@ilovecardj Wow, I definitely took an L on that one. Didn't finish reading your comment. I'll admit, I'm pretty stupid.

[@ChrisHunter12345]

@purplegill10 Yeah, I corrected myself 30 seconds later lol.

[@ChrisHunter12345]

@purplegill10 Actually, I responded 3 minutes after your comment. I'm watching videos on youtube. It takes only 5 seconds to click on inbox and check responses. Why does it matter so much to you? And really, you responded within 7 minutes, so you're responding just as quickly.

[@laclave699]

good job

[@ChrisHunter12345]

@purplegill10 Lol, I didn't even realise when you had posted your comment.. I just logged onto youtube and checked my inbox.

[@cc12321]

What would Happen if the goal orb is used in Bowser's Castle?

[@ChrisHunter12345]

@andrewg1990 But technically you have beaten the record that's up on SDA. The record they have is 10:59, and yours is 10:34. It may not beat the world record, but it beats the record posted up on SDA.

[@TheSuperSNES]

Get ittttt

[@ChrisHunter12345]

@ilovecardj I get that, but why even do that level at all? It's not necessary to complete the game is it?

[@purplegill10]

@ChrisHunter12345 looks like a glitch, (see the koopas at the top and how he gets a green orb in the castle?)

[@chaomusicify]

By being too good at it.

[@Monopolized8490]

Are all speedrun times based of the "orb" glitch, and where can I find some no orb speedruns.

[@factualfantasy]

AWESOME BRO

[@brandonchilian4625]

holy shit thats insane

[@str8rippon]

How did he get that glitch that beats the first castle?

[@ChrisHunter12345]

Why do you grab Yoshi in the first level? It seems like you'd lose like 5, 6 seconds doing that?

[@snickerofsteel9879]

Can someone please explain me why he defeated the castle with this koopa in the item box?

[@igottehgoodstuffz]

+SnickerOfSteel its a glitch that gives the orb in the ghost house level. he can beat the level fastre with it

[@EricSmyth4Christ]

Why don't you submit to speed demos archive?

[@BizzarroGames]

You must train months to do it!

[@ChrisHunter12345]

@purplegill10 no sure if srs...

[@mobobber]

How did you do Iggy's Castle like that? (3:27)

[@andrewg1990]

I have a decent 11:01 no orb run on my channel. I think the best time without orb is around 10:49.

[@13Hyrule]

WTF happened at iggy's castle?!

[@RizenLink]

6:50 lol caping to the music.

[@purplegill10]

and i thought my 23 mins on the gba version was good O_o

[@pythagoreanmaster]

you didn't hold up at the end...

[@Ashes2Ashes_Blush2Blush]

how did you clear iggy's so fast?!

[@andrewg1990]

Lol, and how exactly did I "hack" the game?

[@MrCodyminner]

How is this game hacked?

[@purplegill10]

@ChrisHunter12345 HOLY CRAP U RESPOND FAST O_O

[@purplegill10]

@ChrisHunter12345 aw man srry i responded 2 hrs later, and its awesome to have ppl respond to me as i am lonely foreveralone.jpg
