Like any Mario game, Super Mario Odyssey is conducive to speedrunning. It’s not just the scope of your basic abilities that makes this particular iteration so exciting, but the power to “capture” other enemies as Cappy, and turn yourself into an instrument of traversal.

So how are people actually playing Odyssey to even speedrun it? Well, prospective world-record setters are getting their hands on it by way of demo kiosks all around the US, attempting to best all sorts of completion parameters. You can check out Jacob Babione’s any% record below, which clocks in at 5:04:16.

If you want to get a handle on some Odyssey tech before the game is out, this is your chance!
