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.

It’s crazy how refined these runs are. We’re judging 2 second mistakes on an HOUR long run. These runners are insane.

[@smegmacannon69]

Go watch a gta 5 speedrun

[@TripleX-gr2ov]

Tbh, this is pretty exaggerated. If you watch the full runs, there are plenty of bigger mistakes that are more apparent then the 2 to 3 seconds lost in the clips that were shown.

[@magnusm4]

You should see GoldenEye or Doom where they are wrestling for a single decimal

[@davidtrottier7066]

Yeah, it was a little overexaggerated. Especially if you noticed Nicros sum of best segments was a 59:12 when he set the sub-hour. That means he made at least 47 seconds of mistakes.

[@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.

[@systemafunk]

@@Azumongo It wouldn't have occured to me that people wouldn't know this, honestly...

One thing I love about the speedrunning community is how advances are a true group effort. No single person can independently find all the glitches and strats.

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.

Shaden appeared suddenly, trained everyone on how to be good at the game, then disappeared. What a legend.

[@tsumetai_kaze]

I've only played SMO once. I've never done a single speedrun in my life, yet the ending in this video, where everyone is just screaming and yelling, elated at what they just did, made my eyes well up a little. This is just two years of what speedrun optimization can do to a game. Just imagine, 15 years down the line, when you can beat SMO in under 20 minutes. It'll be SM64 all over again. Damn.

@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.

Smallant wouldn't have to be as meticulous with finding sources as SummoningSalt as he's an active member of this community, and already knows the vast majority of what he needs to talk about before the video was even thought of.

More insight on to why Shaeden didn't run on 1.0.0-- When he did 1p runs, he was using his roommate's switch. He wasn't allowed to wipe the data to get 1.0.0. He said this in his streams. He might not have the world record anymore, but he was truly the best runner this game has ever seen. Awesome video btw :)

That explains his way too casual reactions. Can't yell too loud or his roommate would have noticed he's using the switch again.
