4:54:97!!
Super Mario Bros. speedrunner Niftski has become the first to ever get a 4:54 in Super Mario Bros, and by proxy the first to ever cross the last possible second barrier to be broken, which is something the scene has been grinding towards for some time now. For reference, the TASbot time is 4:54.26, so the most this record could be brought down is minuscule - the game is almost over!
No VOD yet, but I'll update when there is one, so here's the former WR from Miniland
ALSO if you are interested in knowing more information on the crazy strats used for these kind of runs, I highly recommend this (admittedly slightly out of date but still extremely well made) video from the excellent speedrun content creator, Bismuth!
