Speaking of fake speedruns, here is another ultimate fake speedrun you really need to know: The Fake WR (4:54.265) by Super Brad Gaming. Here are some reasons that the run was obviously fake: 1. He copied Niftski's 4:54.798 description 2. There are double fast accels literally EVERYWHERE. Including fast accels that don't save framerules. Double fast accels are literally never implemented on any Super Mario Bros. speedrun. 3. The entire run is FILLED TO THE BRIM with superswag and hyperswag tricks that, if Mario had bad subpixels, would have ruined the entire run. 4. World 1-2 features a swagger 347 with a turnaround that was never done in practice, even with a savestate. 5. World 4-2 was awfully impossible to do in an Any% speedrun, the backwards bumps are hyperswag to the point it barely lost any time than the 4-2 top clip, and the pipe stop, and the warp zone turnaround contains hyperswag frame-perfect button presses a human couldn't replicate. 6. World 8-2 has a walljump that was never used to show off swag tricks as the Bullet Bill flies for the BBG. 7. World 8-4: OH! MY! GOD! THIS! IS! OBVIOUSLY! FAKE! DOUBLE FAST ACCEL FROM THE START! HYPERSWAG KOSMIC'S FAVORITE WALLJUMP! HYPERSWAG TURNAROUND! PRECISE BOWSER PATTERN! 8. And worst of all, this video looks EXACTLY THE SAME as Maru's 4:54.265 No L+R TAS, and no human could replicate a TAS that was done by a master TASer that implemented hyperswag tricks that don't save time, and they were all included in a real-time speedrun, including some that were NEVER done in practice! 9. He stated in the description that this run doesn't use Lightning 4-2, but it does. If this run didn't use Lightning 4-2, then the TAS could clock in at a 4:53, which is impossible unless you are playing Super Mario Bros. Extended. (TAS: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3vKfXt8n5ulZ7M) However, Super Mario Bros. Extended also saves an extra framerule in World 8-3 saving a total of 2 framerules than the previous world record. (Another video you can make is a video on Super Mario Bros. Extended.) Therefore, it is impossible for this run to clock in at such a low time and still not utilize lightning 4-2, and the timer in 8-4 was a 316, and he stated it was a 315. Therefore, we have reasonable evidence to prove that Super Brad Gaming really copied off Maru's TAS and claimed the WR to dethrone Niftski and leave the other legitimate speedrunners cry as their hard work of thousands, maybe millions, of attempts over several years were wasted just so one guy with little to no speedrun experience can cheat off someone else's TAS just to break the final WR and destroy the entire Super Mario Bros. speedrunning community. Worst of all, even master speedrunners have fallen into the trap thinking that run is real! So please, try to make another video describing that fake WR so we can all dislike that fake WR and prevent Super Brad Gaming from posting than run onto speedrun.com. Also, if he leaves the run on KZbin, Games Done Quick will probably recruit him for a speedrun performed with a big audience to celebrate his 4:54.265, only for him to be humiliated onstage.

He copied Niftski's 4:54.798 description 2. There are double fast accels literally EVERYWHERE. Including fast accels that don't save framerules. Double fast accels are literally never implemented on any Super Mario Bros. speedrun. 3. The entire run is FILLED TO THE BRIM with superswag and hyperswag tricks that, if Mario had bad subpixels, would have ruined the entire run. 4. World 1-2 features a swagger 347 with a turnaround that was never done in practice, even with a savestate. 5. World 4-2 was awfully impossible to do in an Any% speedrun, the backwards bumps are hyperswag to the point it barely lost any time than the 4-2 top clip, and the pipe stop, and the warp zone turnaround contains hyperswag frame-perfect button presses a human couldn't replicate. 6. World 8-2 has a walljump that was never used to show off swag tricks as the Bullet Bill flies for the BBG. 7. World 8-4: OH! MY! GOD! THIS! IS! OBVIOUSLY! FAKE! DOUBLE FAST ACCEL FROM THE START! HYPERSWAG KOSMIC'S FAVORITE WALLJUMP! HYPERSWAG TURNAROUND! PRECISE BOWSER PATTERN! 8. And worst of all, this video looks EXACTLY THE SAME as Maru's 4:54.265 No L+R TAS, and no human could replicate a TAS that was done by a master TASer that implemented hyperswag tricks that don't save time, and they were all included in a real-time speedrun, including some that were NEVER done in practice! 9. He stated in the description that this run doesn't use Lightning 4-2, but it does. If this run didn't use Lightning 4-2, then the TAS could clock in at a 4:53, which is impossible unless you are playing Super Mario Bros. Extended. (TAS: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3vKfXt8n5ulZ7M) However, Super Mario Bros. Extended also saves an extra framerule in World 8-3 saving a total of 2 framerules than the previous world record. (Another video you can make is a video on Super Mario Bros. Extended.) Therefore, it is impossible for this run to clock in at such a low time and still not utilize lightning 4-2, and the timer in 8-4 was a 316, and he stated it was a 315. Therefore, we have reasonable evidence to prove that Super Brad Gaming really copied off Maru's TAS and claimed the WR to dethrone Niftski and leave the other legitimate speedrunners cry as their hard work of thousands, maybe millions, of attempts over several years were wasted just so one guy with little to no speedrun experience can cheat off someone else's TAS just to break the final WR and destroy the entire Super Mario Bros. speedrunning community. Worst of all, even master speedrunners have fallen into the trap thinking that run is real! So please, try to make another video describing that fake WR so we can all dislike that fake WR and prevent Super Brad Gaming from posting than run onto speedrun.com. Also, if he leaves the run on KZbin, Games Done Quick will probably recruit him for a speedrun performed with a big audience to celebrate his 4:54.265, only for him to be humiliated onstage.

Honestly im surprised these speedrunner wasnt awarded with the mario game player of the century award with his professional skills with the red joystick on the NES controller

It’s even more surprising that Kosmic didn’t sue Kosmic for defamation over this video.

Ohh man, it took me to 8-2 when I finally got that this video was joke😂

[@RegalPixelKing]

Honestly the best part of this video is the thumbnail saying "CAUGHT in 240p!"

[@Kinoparapino]

Its better because people say caught in 4K but its mostly 144p

[@Piano_Board]

true tho

"The jumping duck" 😆😆😆 Also when I was a kid and got my first Nintendo, I thought the Koopa troopas were chickens with turtle shells

[@Bokatrice]

He's not cheating, he's just wavedashing

[@WildWaker]

Just so you know, for the pipe in 4-2, if you hit the vine to go to the warp area, and then go into the pipe on a specific frame, they go to the warp area

[@JJ_TheGreat]

Yes, that is a glitch that all speedrunners use now-a-days, to gain time in their runs! :-

[@DashRetro]

I remember playing this game way back in the day! So sad kids nowadays have to cheat to win.

[@roiitzkovich4545]

It's not cheating. It's his gaming breakfast that gave him the power of a god.

GOOBER TROOPERS. It took me a minute to understand this was an April Fools joke, but good one.

[@I_Cause_ConFLICKt]

[@ItssCurlyFries]

"this is not the Super Mario Bros I remember in 1985" likely the funniest Mario video I've seen in years! All the splice accusations, the miscoined terminology, "unexplained" mechanics, comedy gold!

Shaking and crying rn Edit: its also funny that he used the wrong names for every enemy

[@barsaf9989]

There is a handcam included in the crt cam, but yeah lacking the other two is really sus

[@SimplesmenteMatheusLopes_123]

WHERE IS HIS 24/7 BATHROOM CAM?!?

if only he drank coke, ate pizza, and displayed a very unsuspiciously accurate heart rate monitor.. i wouldve been sold

YES! THEY'RE GOOBER TROOPERS! THANK YOU FOR THIS!

[@RonnieKo-1210]

What people thought in 1985 when Niftski time-traveled back to 1985 and showed that it is possible to do a wrong warp

[@Gameboygenius]

I've seen this guy's fake runs and it's even WORSE than this video portrays. In 8-4 he spliced the video when going down one of the pipes AND used a cheat code to wall jump. Some people...

[@Kosmicd12]

Oh that part is normal, it's a "wall kick", common in mario

[@Gameboygenius]

@@Kosmicd12 oh ok. I only ever played New Super Mario Bros and I didn't know the wall kick existed in Old Super Mario Bros as well.

I legit watched the run before I watched this video and was upset with myself that I couldn't spot any cheats 😂

2:22 had me on the floor bro. I already knew half the stuff he was joking about, but that part was freaking hilarious!

[@Treiden21]

okay, 3:10 does look sketchy, but mario got some weird hitboxes.

[@quadpad_music]

@@Treiden21 It doesn't have to do with hitboxes btw, it's just that the game registers a stomp whenever Mario touches an enemy while moving down.

nothing, that's the joke

i... didn't realise this was satire until the plant hitbox noclip claim.

You can it's fake because super mario doesn't say "wahoo" a single time in the video. Obviously cut that part out.

[@SimplesmenteMatheusLopes_123]

1:12 i actually believed this 💀💀💀

[@SarkenHS]

I was ready to trust that guy but he didn't have a camera looking at his other cameras, so it definitely sounded way too suspicious for me.
