Known it is by the world that Nintendo brought gaming back to the living room through its entertaining titles. What fans seldom realize, is that it made games that nowadays all types of speed runners love breezing through. To those unaware, speed running is not a simple task. Players spend a very long time getting familiar with every single thing in games to save themselves those precious few seconds.
And precious few seconds are all that it takes for them to make or break certain speed-running records. And the most exciting one of those always involves a certain Nintendo game. Just like it does this time!

Fans on Twitter were expecting a lot of things today, but they were not expecting Super Mario Galaxy 2 to make the news the way it did. A streamer by the name of Jhay has really done something incredible. And fans are really letting him know how big of a deal it is.
Jhay is a popular streamer who streams Mario Games. He mostly speed runs these games and tries to break the records that have been previously established. And it appears he finally has done the impossible, once again.
He has made a new worldwide record, by completing Super Mario galaxy 2 setting it at 2:54:51.33. What is even more exciting is the fact that he has broken a record that was previously set by himself. Jhay has broken his own record by 4.4 seconds.

This might appear a very small number to everyone, but this is exactly what makes it stand out. It just means the streamer had already done the very best he could and this one is just a bonus.
It must be noted that he achieved this in a very curious speed-running category, which is called Any% (With Bank). This category basically means players just have to complete the game without having to collect any of the collectibles. And players only have to use the Bank Toad to unlock the final galaxy.
Fans are astonished at this new development!
Fans of Super Mario games have been astonished by this new development. They cannot believe the fact that someone has completed this game in such a short time. And almost everyone instantly started congratulating Jhay on this achievement.

I watched that whole thing and it was exciting…. About an hour into the run… I thought “man this guy is going to do it today” so I stayed and watched the whole thing. Awesome memory!
