LeKukie Pushes Super Mario Bros. Record to 4:54.365, 6 Frames From Perfect Limit

Summary
4:54.365 is now the benchmark in Super Mario Bros., leaving LeKukie just 100 milliseconds—six frames—short of the game’s 4:54.265 theoretical limit.
6 frames matter because 4:54.265 is widely treated as the fastest humanly possible time, a mark long thought reachable only through computer-assisted runs.
LeKukie’s latest record has revived the chase for a truly perfect run, though shaving off the remaining frames could still take months or years.
41 years after release, the NES classic remains a live speedrunning battleground, with attention now fixed on whether LeKukie or another runner can hit the ceiling.
