With AGDQ coming up in a matter of days, why not get in the speedrunning mood with this—a history of Super Mario Bros. 2 speedrunning world records. As a huge fan of SMB2, I am in awe of the tricks and seconds that these runners are able to shave off of their total time. To think that some of these glitches and shortcuts were once only in the realm of tool-assisted runs but are now being done by people is crazy. Check this out and then take a look at Summoning Salt’s back catalog which has some more amazing speedrun histories for other games.
