Super Mario World. No matter how familiar you are with the game, you probably know at least one tidbit about it. Whether it's the graphics or the unforgettable tunes, this game would continue to entertain many over the following decades. Between tiny optimizations and major glitches, today, we’re going to dissect the Human Limit of speedrun Super Mario World.

For anyone curious why I used 9:39 as a starting point at the end : The old 2014 Human Theory TAS has some advanced tricks never done in runs, but also has many things to be improved upon (Japanese version, ghost house, etc). The time is not impossible, but the set of tricks for sure will vary.
