After speedrunner Kosmic had properly broken the world record for clear time in Super Mario Bros., it appears that he’ll have to give up his crown to fellow speedrunner Darbian, who has managed to break the previous record by 0.316 seconds.

Darbian’s time is 4:56.878, while the previous record was 4:57.194. Quite impressive, especially when you consider that Darbian has done what was previously only thought possible by a bot. You can watch the new world record below.

Raw Thrills and Nintendo are bringing back the N64 launch title Cruis’n USA. Starting in January, Cruis’n Blast will be available for arcades.

Raw Thrills has been developing the new racer, which has been licensed from Nintendo.

Here’s what we know:

Cruis’n Blast, developed by the crack Raw Thrills studio team, takes Cruis’n into the new millennium as players zoon 200 mph through the bustle of London, blast through the exotic wonders of Madagascar, celebrate Carnival in Rio, amaze to the hi tech splendor of Singapore, and drive an earth-shaking thriller through Death Valley. Every track is packed with speed thrills, exploding scenery, and extreme special FX. In tune with the times, players race in an immersive cockpit simulator loaded with HD supercomputer graphics and immersive effects. The Thrill-D Blaster sound system recreates the sound of an actual race, backed by a pumping soundtrack that is a staple of the Cruis’n experience.

Key features include:

– NEW! Dramatic enclosed cockpit cabinet with fully immersive Thrill-D Blaster™ sound
– NEW! BLAST™ turbo boost for truly insane speed!
– Awesome supercars including Lamborghini Veneno™, Nissan GTR, Corvette 206, and more.
– 43″ 1080p HD LED TV
– Mind-bending color FX from over 1000 Vibrant RGD LED’s
– State of the art GTX 750 Ti Nvidia supercomputer HD graphics
– NEW! Link up to 8 games for massive multiplayer action

Cruis’n Blast underwent testing in select locations during the summer. We’ve posted some footage based on that appearance below.
