Super Mario All Stars speedrunner sets triumphant world record only to suffer SNES cart tragedy 90 seconds later.

About……….

Prolific Mario speedrunner Kosmic set a new world record in the Super Mario All-Stars version of The Lost Levels this week, and he was on pace for a “massive” improvement in an even bigger category until he suddenly suffered a horrible fate those of us who lived through the cartridge era know all too well – a sudden crash blamed on dirty connectors.

Super Mario All-Stars is a SNES collection featuring upgraded, 16-bit versions of 8-bit Mario games, and it was the first chance players worldwide had to play the Japanese Super Mario Bros. 2, which was retitled The Lost Levels. This is a notoriously difficult game, which features an uber-challenging array of levels from 1-1 to 8-4. If you manage to beat all of those stages without skipping any through warp zones, you unlock five more secret worlds, ranging from 9-1 through D-4.

Speedruns for the All-Stars versions of The Lost Levels have multiple different categories, including Warpless 8-4, which, once completed, allow you to continue onto an attempt at Warpless D-4.

That’s what Kosmic was attempting earlier this week, and he did manage to secure a new Warpless 8-4 world record of 21:42 – three seconds faster than his previous record.
