Recently, Guinness World Records issued a certificate of record to The Brazilian player Matthews Fertado, whose online name is "Furious". On June 11, 2020, the player completed the classic game "Super Mario World" released in 1990 with a time of 41.022 seconds, officially breaking the Guinness World Record of the fastest clearance of 41.350 seconds set by American SethBling.
It is reported that games are one of Matthews' lifelong hobbies. At the end of 2014, matthews saw a video of a player playing Super Mario World for a Charity Marathon (GDQ) online before he slowly began to understand the "fastest level" (allowing players to take advantage of bugs to play the game as fast as they can, and players can execute arbitrary code in the game without any glitches or vulnerabilities). He was amazed at the amazing technique of the players in the video, so he started practicing on his own. On January 30, 2017, he completed the game at a speed of 1 minute and 30 seconds, a full 49 seconds faster than his previous challenge.

Matthews, who was extremely passionate about Super Mario World, developed by Nintendo in 1990, said the game marked his childhood and has always been his favorite. Matthews has revealed that one of his favorite things in Super Mario World is the player's determination to gradually overcome difficulties in the process of completing the mission, which is also very much in line with his concept of life.
Matthews has nowhere to practice passing Super Mario World in the "fastest pass", and after breaking the world record, he admits that the most difficult part of the process is putting Yoshi (a super Mario game character) in the right place and making him spit out red shells. He said: "You need to move fast and accurate here, otherwise you won't be able to clear the customs." ”
As a software developer, dealing with software glitches and errors is part of Matthews' daily routine. He said in the interview: "The fastest way to complete a level is to turn the programming errors in these games into something useful, which helps me shorten the time to complete the level." That's what motivated me to break this kind of speed record. Matthews said he wants people around the world to learn his story and find the motivation to achieve their dreams through training, practice and passion for what they do.
