Miyamoto broke the poor kid's leg
he says so in the video

Something is up at the nintendo world store playthrough. unless i'm not aware of a glitch or something in SMB.
In world 4-2 he takes the third pipe down (seen at the kotaku page at 2:22 - http://kotaku.com/5683873/gamer-fails-super-mario-bros-speed-run-while-mario-creator-watches )
That pipe takes him underground with coins.
Looking at his YouTube speedrun, in world 4-2 at about 2:06 that same pipe takes him to the mushroom platforms as if he took the vine up.

So early on he already experienced something I don't think he expected and I personally don't know why they are different -- i couldn't find anything on glitches that would do that. at least not easily and it's too late to be thorough.

He who pursues two rabbits gets two rabbits.
It's related to how room transitions work in the game. The idea is that you have two exit points present on the screen (vine + pipe) but only one global variable that points to the next area to be loaded. There's a way you can utilize this to get the pipe to lead to the warp area.

Poor guy, pressure must have been insane. Especially on a different (wireless) controller and LCD TV, odds were stacked against him.
Original video though is a thing of beauty, must have been about 10 times I though he'd fucked up a tube jump and got it every time, and that last Bowser jump :lol Is 5:00 the world record then?

One of the Kotaku comments "don't fcuk with hammer bros, yo!" :lol
Poor Kid!

I feel bad for him, that must have been a major downer. But at least he got to play the game with Miyamoto there, so at least it worked out there in the end. I'm pretty sure most gamers would have probably been nervous as sin in that situation, so it's great of him for at least trying. 
Weird coincidence, this guy commented on my Super Meat Boy run today http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHk9foD92kY. Judging from his videos he will be able to take my time easily

the ass tried to show off "omg it has teh bugs! i shall axploiT!"
there you go, for using the tube and not the vine
(he used the same flaw used to enter the -1 world, except that when you do it on that spot, with the vine trick, you get to the 4-1 warp skyworld)
so, protip: when you're showing off, and you have the skill, take 10 fucking seconds to get the god damn flower power, should have made it way easier, it's just that he wanted to show off "omg i can with no mushrooms"

Can somebody elaborate on that a bit? I'm not sure I get it. That was the first time I see that pipe leading to the warp area.

I'm no expert, but i'm gonna say there is a variable NextZone, containing the next zone to be loaded
so
NextZone = pipeplace
by default. But the vine pops up and overwrites nexztzone = vineplace.
so even when you take the pipe, NextZone has already been changed to vineplace and you go there instead of pipeplace
seriously just guessing...never heard of this glitch before

He did good enough for the amount of "pressure" there.

Yes, he does look normal. However, we at GAF engage in equal opportunity mockery. The kid's awkward expression in this image makes me laugh, and it should be obvious why.Naked Snake said:
Edit: Just to be clear, I should add that I think he put on an impressive show under pressure. There's no knocking his skills.

And damn, Daigo is a stone cold motherfucker.
Regarding the speedrun, you can't really blame him with the crowd behind him and fuckin' God himself watching him play. On a related note, did Steve Weibe ever topple Billy Mitchell's score at CES was it?

Seriously, just look at the guy. He doesn't look like he could beat a plate of spaghetti.
