I have been playing it a lot recently i bought a SNES for the that reason only a few weeks ago.. is there a world record (official or unofficial)
that has been set for the game I check Twin Galaxies and there wasn't one posted there.. ther are many videos on youtube but they are all using ROMS and slowly the FPS down.

World record as in how fast they completed the game?

I think there is fastest mininalist completion

Where you beat the first 7 stages and get the key in the first submerged level defeat the secret big "boo" boss and go to star world to get to bowser.

Full Completion hit all 96 (or 98) exits

The world recored that was recorded is 12 mins and some seconds but ive beaten the game in 9 mins and 14 sec, just so you know im talking about taking the big shortcut that confusedsanity is talking about.

"The world recored that was recorded is 12 mins and some seconds but ive beaten the game in 9 mins and 14 sec, just so you know im talking about taking the big shortcut that confusedsanity is talking about."

My gameboy advanced time is actualy less time in 9 min 10 sec

I scanned my gameboy into my printer the time is the purple pinkish numbers at the top. My SNES time is 9 min 14 sec and my GBA time is 9 min 10 sec. I suggest saving the pic and zooming in to see the time better...

The fastest official time is 10 mins 59 seconds.

Part 1

Wow lol

well that guy is fast,  probably faster than my time because the gameboy version doesnt count time when your on the world map so his time is probably the same as mine or a little less. I timed myself while playing the SNES version and stopped the timer anytime on the world map so i guess his is faster.

"well that guy is fast,  probably faster than my time because the gameboy version doesnt count time when your on the world map..."

maybe i could try but at a different time im to lazy right now...

yeah the video up there is fake on the second stage you can't get up that much speed with out moving backwards a step and he didnt

So, you want a record that's been achieved by a human, and not via TAS? Well, I guess some of the fastest times in the world can be found here. Their current records are:

• Best time: Single-segment 0:10:59 by Adam 'Lucid Faia' Sweeney on 2007-12-15.

• Best 100% time: Single-segment 1:31:45 by Jason 'GameCube04' Baum on 2005-01-13.

According the the book of Guinness World Records Gamer's Edition 2008 (which is about a year old, so it might have been broken since then) it is 10 minutes 54 seconds. This time was achieved on 9th July 2004.
