You might be good at some things, but you’ll never be as good at them as this guy is at beating Super Mario Bros. on the Nintendo Entertainment System.

The speedrunner (someone who tries to beat games as fast as possible) Darbian just claimed the world record for the classic Nintendo game with a time of 4 minutes and 56.878 seconds. This beats the previous record by Kosmicd12, who posted a 4:57.194 time just days earlier on October 3. You can watch Darbian’s historic run below.
