Put simply, the glitch saves time by having Mario bounce off a Bullet Bill and skipping the \u201cwalking to the castle\u201d animation.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-178873\"\/><br \/><iframe title=\"The Absurd History of Level 8-2\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0kjIXjGzImE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><noscript><iframe title=\"The Absurd History of Level 8-2\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0kjIXjGzImE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><br \/>If this glitch looks familiar, that is because it\u2019s actually a variation of a wall clip that can be performed inside the block at the bottom of the flagpole at the end of most levels. This flagpole glitch essentially skips the \u201clowering the flagpole\u201d animation, thus saving a significant amount of time. The current record for Level 8-2 is 4 minutes, 54 seconds and 631 milliseconds by Niftski. One oddity that GTAce discovered is that there is a 1 in 1000 chance of having a piranha plant despawn during a speedrun.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- .post-content --><\/p>\n<div class=\"author-box\">\n<div class=\"image\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/d1853b5eaa6dfc5d1a0bea01e24f2fb9?s=82&amp;r=g\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/d1853b5eaa6dfc5d1a0bea01e24f2fb9?s=164&amp;r=g 2x\" class=\"avatar avatar-82 photo\" height=\"82\" width=\"82\" decoding=\"async\"\/><\/div>\n<div class=\"content\">\n<p>\t\t\t<span class=\"author\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span>Author<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\tBill Smith\t\t\t<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"text author-bio\">When it comes to cars, video games or geek culture, Bill is an expert of those and more.
