Will a TAS for Super Mario Bros (NES) improve upon the currently best known TAS before 2026?

NO

The current TAS (with no L+R) can be found here:

For the uninitiated, it represents a theoretically perfect speedrun where someone manually enters the exact required inputs for each individual frame.

It hasn't been beaten in over a decade, and RTA speedruns are inching closer and closer to this "optimal" time: the current world record ties the TAS in all levels except the last one, largely thanks to the so-called framerule system.

This resolves YES iff a (non L+R) TAS, generally accepted to be legitimate, is published to TASvideos, Youtube or some other public website which completes the original Super Mario Bros in strictly less time than the current TAS posted above.

@mods This can resolve NO

@Ibozz91 Source? Happy to help resolve, but this is not a thing I follow.

@EvanDaniel It’s hard for me to show a specific source because TASVideos does not track No L+R, but I did not see any improvements to the TAS come out. You can see newer videos still referring to the existing TAS record, however: https://youtu.be/K76KPgAagi4?si=WRiRi-kKVtucdacB

@Ibozz91 @traders Any objection to this resolution proposal?

Resolved; if this is wrong let me know soon and we can reopen it.

I would recommend specifying the category somewhat more precisely; I assume you don't mean for the PAL version TAS to count? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Iwnw8td97o
