What it is

SethBling performs the first credits warp in Super Mario World on a real SNES console, a glitch that plays the ending without beating Bowser. The run relies on pixel-perfect positioning and tools such as a helper ROM hack.

Why Hacker News recommends it

Cited as a landmark of speedrunning, where a trick once limited to tool-assisted runs was pulled off live on hardware.
