I was recently playing through Super Metroid on the SNES mini, and I ended up watching a "World Record Progression" video on YouTube. Turns out there's a series of these videos[0] done for a number of games - they're pretty well done, and it's fascinating to hear the level of effort people put in to shaving time off a World Record.

Oh, Super Metroid is such an amazing speedrun. Over the last week's time, Zoast has been setting new WRs at least 3 times and there's still at least 10 seconds to be saved with the current route + optimal RNG.
