Is this Super Mario World Speedrun Unbeatable?

Super Mario World Speedrunning saw a major breakthrough on August 17th, 2023, when oil_in_water did what was once thought to be impossible, and got the first time under 9 minutes and 40 seconds in the traditional fastest game completion category: 11 Exit, Cloud. Let’s talk about the classic Super Nintendo hit.

Watching drams hand cam at 1:45 is just absolutely wild to me--it's crazy how fast certain inputs can be done

[@LeDoctorBones]

While you mentioned the old TAS of 9:39:1, it would have been cool if you also mentioned the new TAS made by bismuth that uses the new glitches found (as of march 2023) in 11 exit to get a time of 9:28:331, proving that another 10-second barrier is indeed possible, though extremely inhumanly difficult, even just with the current pathing.

[@Storster]

Definitely is something to point out for sure. For this case I just zoned in a lot on specifically the human element. I’m not sure with current knowledge we’d ever see better than a 9:38 RTA.

[@Kosmicd12]

​@@Storstermenboo did the fast dp1 guy many years ago. That plus fast yoshi should be enough i think?

[@Storster]

@@Kosmicd12 I should’ve harped on DP1 guy properly you’re right. Something that I kinda overlooked since Japanese runners have been adding in other strategies instead of going for that. Now they don’t really have as much choice. The reasonable path towards 9:38 is definitely fast yoshi + dp1 guy.

Another great video, really enjoyed it, thanks!

[@jeffblazeos4083]

thanks for the video, always a good day with storster uploads

[@mrmanguyperson]

Really awesome video! You’re an inspiration!

[@retropalooza]

Storster is the maker of the most definitive speedrunning videos. Too bad there isnt an oscar category he would clean up....

[@MrTheEck1]

Had no clue any% meant any percentage

[@ronaacode]

oil is coming for the entire leaderboard

[@SECONDQUEST]

And that's how its done

[@Controllerhead]

Nice to see improvements to this route after ACE. Great video!

[@Redmage913]

My hands hurt looking at how the controller was held for many of these unique movements. Amazing, what people are capable of.

[@dallebull]

Playing with your indexfinger allways feels and looks wrong.

[@Mingura666]

Oil is amazing!

[@switchpalacecorner]

people actually do iggy p switch jump now? wild

[@pigeonapology9816]

Not only that, but people are doing vob1 wings in all castles and no starworld runs, and current small only wr skips a cycle in morton with a wall jump. All the crazy strats have somehow become "viable."

[@Beleth420]

yo holy shit I didn't realize you were that cracked at smw

[@nicholasharvey1232]

11:30 I always called this trick "Smashola".

new video lets goo!! 😍😍😍

[@doggo7078]

Maybe the fast Yoshi trick is the friends we made along the way

[@Zekomaru]

Can you use the orb in browsers castle, what would happen?

[@Kosmicd12]

It just ends the stage (and gives you an extra exit), doesn't play the credits

[@Zekomaru]

@@Kosmicd12 thank you, very interesting info.

[@Lady_Moonsong]

Oh, I'm early for once! 🙋🏻‍♀️🥰 Great work on your voice training, by the way! There's a big difference. Keep up the good work, miss ❤️

[@rokero171]

Oil is the 11 exit goat!!!

[@Lil.lyGoose]

I always thought the boo stair clip was an intended mechanic when I was a kid 🙄

[@GYOJIBOT]

So what happens if you bring the orb to Bowser's castle?

[@WolfAeterni]

you beat the stage and it sends you back on the world map. It doesn't roll the credits but it does give you an extra exit

[@prizm9515]

It's always so hype when 11 exit gets more optimized. 11 exit cloud is a super fun speedrun. That's a crazy lead for such an old and well speedran game.

[@Akuretaki_Nikolay]

gg

[@BenStire]

9:10 oftenly?

[@Storster]

optimally

[@SamTahbou]

howdy

[@ParadiseDB7]

But let's be honestly, "making the credits pop up" ≠ completing the game. You just glitched the credits to play you didn't actually beat the game. Every single category in SMW ends when you defeat Bowser, THAT is defined as beating the game so why is this any different? Credits warp is a silly little bonus category like orb%, nothing more. The any% category is still 11 exit, that is the fastest COMPLETION of the game. This controversy over this has always bothered me because so obvious yet everyone still obsesses over the naming. If there was a warp to go from level 1 to the Bowser fight and you cleared that then fine, but that isn't what's happening here. There is no actual completion. PS, fun fact I accidentally found a warp to Bowser in Super Panga World but no idea how I did it or if that is even possible in a non ROM hack.
