He holds a current world record of 41.35 seconds for "Super Mario World" and a former world record for "". He achieved the world record for "Super Mario World" by using a glitch that enabled him to execute arbitrary code and skip to the game's credits. In 2015, he was the first to do so on a home video game console. He injected code to play a "Flappy Bird"-like game within "Super Mario World" on a stock Super Nintendo Entertainment System. He was the first to perform this kind of arbitrary code execution by hand. In 2017, Cooper Harasyn and SethBling created a jailbreak by hand using exploits to save a hex editor onto a read-only memory cartridge, allowing for creation of mods.
