no. it would not be verified. just because time below 5:06 i believe need a video, also dont post it to twin galaxies, they have different rules than speedrun.com, cyberscore seems odd to me, use it if you want to. i recommend speedrun.com because it is simpler to use.

*times below 5:21

The short answer to your question is, yes, the record in Speedrun is the World Record.

over time - speedrun.com has become the main place people go to submit their game speedruns.

Darbian has the current world record, as of October 2017, with a time of 4:56.528

SpeedDemosArchive still shows AndrewG as having the smb1 world record with a time of 4:58 (no milliseconds) from 2011 http://speeddemosarchive.com/Mario1.html

It looks like Twin Galaxies shows AndrewG as the world record holder with a time of 5:07 (no milliseconds) from 2015. http://www.twingalaxies.com/super-mario-bros/nintendo-entertainment-system

Twin Galaxies does not allow what they consider to be "glitches", so that's why the time is slower. "Glitches" have become most of the challenge and are, of course, allowed and encouraged on an any% run on speedrun.com

It's astonishing that neither of those sites use milliseconds. You absolutely need to use milliseconds on a 5 minute run like this to differentiate the HUGE # of runs that will fall under the same minute range. Even using milliseconds there are numerous runs that literally finish the run in the SAME millisecond.

There are almost 600 entries in Speedrun.com for SMB1 Any% alone. If you show obsoleted runs, it's probably more like 1500 runs. All were verified by an actual person watching a video (if the time is below a certain time threshold)

@Darpey

Solid answer. Just wanted to note that Speeddemosarchive is not a world record site. Their mission is just to host high quality runs, not necessarily world records.

I agree Leery

He's probably seeming like he asks the same questions over and over, but maybe he quite understand your answer, and needed clarification. But who knows, I'm not FreddyHD.
