When I was still pissing the bed as a 10-year-old fourth-grader, the only way to make it through a game of Super Mario Bros. on Nintendo in less than 10 minutes was by attaching the Game Genie to your cartridge and reading through the latest issue of Nintendo Power to find the best cheat codes.
Fast forward to 2016, where this gamer Darbian basically is the Game Genie.
Darbian live-streamed his most recent effort to beat the Nintendo classic in world record time, and he also rigged the console to display his heart rate during the process. The result? You guessed it: A nearly flawless run that not only doubled his heart rate but also “destroyed” the previous world record by a few milliseconds.
Shortly after his record-breaking performance, Darbian said his quest was finally over, and he’s done with Super Mario Bros. Only time will tell if he gives River City Ransom the same treatment and goes for a perfect run through the frat guys’ turf.
