Super Mario Bros. is approaching its 40th birthday, and speedrunners are still finding new ways to break it. Over the course of the past 16 months, a group of runners has spent hours upon hours utterly breaking the game apart to finally build a perfect run of the game that ends with exactly 000000 points on the scoreboard.
Each level completed in the original Super Mario Bros. gives you a bunch of points for the amount of time you have left on the board, so how do you beat the whole game with zero points? By scoring so many points that the scoreboard wraps around to 000000 upon the final Bowser kill.
