The video chronicles speedrunners’ attempts to shave seconds from one particular level from the original Super Mario Bros. Nintendo game.

I’m not making it sound very exciting, but trust me, you’re so gonna get into this.

This is fantastic. Someone ripped the audio from one of those old Gremlins book-and-record sets, where you were supposed to read along to a record’s narration. (Helpfully, the video includes not just the narration, but scanned pages from the old storybook!)

Forget the “reading” part, because this is such an oddly soothing thing to go to sleep to!
