You can hear from my reaction at the end that I really thought this was a world record. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to judge paces in this game due to varying load times and tiny inconsistencies in gameplay, so I assumed a better pace than I was actually on. If I had known the actual pace, I could have gone for a more risky castle and gotten world record. Although I am upset about this, it was still a personal best.

During my 7 day grind of NSMBW Any%, I got 5 personal bests and dropped my time from the 21:56.733 which was record before Sharp improved the record to this time of 21:52. Unfortunately, due to University starting back up again, I will be unable to do attempts of this category for the next few months, but when I return, I will achieve the 21:4x barrier.

There were multiple notable mistakes in this run, such as missing Astix cycle and getting a slightly slower level losing over a second, missing Pocoso landing in 5-4 losing about an IGT (although I got bombful which is extremely difficult and rare), a really bad bonk in 5-GH, a missed goomba boost during RSG in 8-2, slightly slow 8-7 1st section, and especially the airship before bombless that lost a second as well. Finally, 8-C could be faster with riskier firebars and ATC setup.
