Luke Wakeham, our gaming guru at GWR Headquarters, created this record title in the hopes that one of you could break it, and he's even shown you exactly how to do it. All that’s certain is Super Mario Odyssey is still one of the most-run, and most-watched speedruns, in the community.Game The Record is a series that challenges you to set records by playing a wide range of trendy videogames. Who’s to say when the 1:01:00 or one-hour barriers fall, or if they do.

So you can see some tightening (or, perhaps, lengthening) in reaching the milestone times from 1:05:00 on but still, in a little more than three weeks, Suisaiga, pushed by LilKirbs14 and NicroVeda, has taken 23 seconds off the top time. First sub-1:09:00 run: Samura1man on Nov.First sub-1:08:00 run: Iwabi74 on Nov.First sub-1:07:00 run: nedeahS on Nov.

“The record will get under an hour someday but I have no idea how.”Ĭommenter mr_tolkien cautioned that “new tech” would be needed to get there. “It astounds me that the execution has gotten to the point where Suisaiga could have what looks to me like a perfect kingdoms (for example, Wooded Kingdom) and still lose time,” said semicorrect. Those on the r/speedrun subreddit expressed an uncertain certainty that the one-hour mark is a reachable goal. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time just saw its world record 100% time plunge by almost 14 minutes, below four hours, over the past year, 12 minutes of that coming in the last two months alone. And while no one knows really what the theoretical fastest possible time is here, elite runners seem to discover new routes and methods, and just plain get lucky, to keep bleeding time off the overall mark. In the past month, Suisaiga, LilKirbs14, NicroVeda and Chaospringle have taken almost a minute off NicroVeda’s old record of 1:02:19, set June 9.
