How Super Mario Odyssey was Beaten in Under 1 Hour - World Record Progression

The World Record History of how Super Mario Odyssey was beaten in under one hour. The road to sub-hour was hard fought but some dedicated speedrunners made it happen with incredible dedication and determination. Here's their story.

[@JonSmith-hk1bq]

Yeah, how did that happen? Holding the button to run is in literally every 2-D Mario game.

[@k1llsh0t_87]

@@JonSmith-hk1bq prob since super mario odyssey doesn't have a run mechanic in the rest of the game so people just never bothered trying and the few that did figure it out prob thought everyone knew considering how fast people were beating that part compared to them and the speedrunners focus on optimizing as much as they can which causes them to overlook obvious things since testing something that might not work would be a waste of time

[@Azumongo]

Reminds me of how a Rainbow Coin in Donkey Kong 64 was discovered 17 years after release. Some claim that they found it as kids or that they checked their old save file and noticed that they already collected it, yet it wasn't public knowledge until 2 years ago because hey... *surely* everybody already knows about it so there's no need to document it on the internet, right? Really makes me curious about some of my own interesting observations I've made in games where I thought "This must be something that every expert player of this game already knows about". For all I know someone's "common knowledge" about a game might lead to insane new speedrunning records.

Ant doesn't pace the video very well, he tirelessly rants off new records with no context or flow.

[@enotsnavdier6867]

I've already discovered the Earth to Mars slingshot clip skip, it's just relatively unknown. First you must do a precise series of yoga moves to clip through the ground. Second you must use your momentum to get into a nice orbit just under the Earth's crust. Third you wait for a while, gaining tons of speed. Fourth you slightly adjust your movement so that you clip out of the earth's crust on top of Everest. Fifth you kick off of the top of Everest with a charged jump, along with your previous speed, to reach escape velocity (this is the most difficult part and has ended most of my runs). Sixth you use the ISS to bank off of, and aim yourself right at mars. It's a difficult skip that not even Elon can pull off consistently, but once people start to master it I think it'll become the new meta.

[@millwalllover3633]

@@enotsnavdier6867 there is actually an easier way if you get onto a horse and then run into a wall to get into the death world you can actually clip into the wall and tp to mars with a loading glich

[@enotsnavdier6867]

Tom Cox Yeah, but that requires proton perfect movement. You need a tool assisted life to get it right even once, let alone consistently. It's just not nearly as practical as my method, not until we get the cybernetic brain enhancement DLC.

If SummoningSalt has taught me anything, it's that this is probably the truth.

[@ColinMroczko]

@Caleb Varcoe that's true, but in games big time saves are always discovered. Eventually there will be massive skips found in Odyssey and the record will progress. Maybe not 10 minutes, but a lot faster than it is now.

[@kingkeeper3570]

Paze Gonya we still haven’t even found a way to skip any kingdoms. I feel a glitch like that is inevitable

[@necro4453]

@Caleb Varcoe Why do you write a capital letter at every start of a word? No offense, but how do you even type like that? Its so hard for me tbh.

what about the original super mario bros tho, one of the first few records was a 5:16 and after 12 years it went down to a 4:55
