Tis fairly impressive alright, but there's no way a game could be fun after playing it long enough to be that good.

The one for Super Mario Bros 3 is very impressive too.

While impressive to watch,

Most of these videos are actually what are known as Tool Assisted Speedruns (TAS) through the games.

Using an emulator they slow the game down and record frame by frame, correcting any mistakes by rewinding.

The Mario 3 one is the best looking probably. But again it doesnt really require skill,

Just determination and a hell of a lot of free time to go through the game essentially frame by frame.

This mario one could be real because the fastest time ever is 5:00 unassisted.

While the fastes TAS in mario is 4:58
