Although most of us attempt to receive the highest score possible on a game, there have been attempts to beat Super Mario Bros with the lowest possible score. Previously, the record stood at a mere 600 points—but not anymore! A new record has been set for the lowest possible score on that game.
YouTube user NotEntirelySure managed to beat Super Mario Bros with a paltry 500 points! He achieved this by killing nothing, grabbing nothing, tapping the bottom of each flagpole just before time runs out, warping and kept running all the way through level 8-4.
"Well, I did it," NotEntirelySure writes in the video's description. "This is THE lowest possible score you can finish the game with (without continuing). And surprisingly, it didn't take very long at all."
Unfortunately he did not manage this fete without dying because he missed his first attempt at the 1-8 wall jump. "Getting 500 points without dying would have been nice, but that jump is so brutally precise I'd rather not restart every time I missed it (though I would have to restart anyway if I accidentally picked up a coin)," he writes.
Although this score was previously obtained by HappyLee back in 2010, NotEntirelySure's playthrough was allegedly done without tool assistance.
