A Gamer Just Broke A 14-Year-Old Record By Playing Super Mario For 60 Hours Straight

A Japanese gamer named Audrey Mina has officially broken the Guinness World Record for the longest marathon playing games in the Super Mario series, sitting at her gaming desk in Chiyoda, Tokyo and playing from May 2 to May 5 of last year for a total of 60 hours, 17 minutes, and 58 seconds. That total shattered the previous record of 50 hours that had stood since 2011, ending a record that had lasted nearly 14 years and adding more than 10 hours to the mark. Audrey is a Vtuber, an online content creator who performs as an animated avatar, and she live-streamed the entire attempt on her YouTube channel, where 125,000 subscribers and a wave of new viewers tuned in to watch and keep her company across more than two and a half days of near-continuous play. Under official marathon rules, participants earn five minutes of rest for every hour of activity and can choose whether to take short breaks hourly or bank their time for longer ones.

Fans flooded the comment section throughout to cheer her on through the more grueling overnight hours, and Audrey said afterward that the community’s presence made the whole thing possible. The Super Mario series gave her plenty of material to rotate through, now spanning dozens of titles across 40 years of gaming history, which helped keep the marathon feeling fresh across its entire duration. She described the experience as one of the most challenging and rewarding things she had ever done, and her story has since resonated far beyond the gaming world as a reminder that endurance records are as much about the people cheering you on as the person who keeps going. The previous record holder, American gamer Dan Ryckert, set his mark in 2011 when the franchise was still several major titles shorter than it is today.
