Speed Run: Super Mario Bros

Speed runs are when a video game expert utilizes every trick (non-hacking cheat) available to complete a game in the shortest amount of time.  They are impressive to watch when you consider how much time and practice it took to achieve.  Super Mario Bros is a classic game but when a speed runner takes control you realize you have no idea how to play this game.  Check out the current world record speed run as the game is completed in only 4 minutes, 57 seconds after the break.
