That's 66 milliseconds faster that the previous record holder, i_o_l, who in June 2014 made it to the end of the game in four minutes 57 seconds and 693 milliseconds (via Speedruns.com (http://www.speedrun.com/smb1)).

On a Reddit thread (https://www.reddit.com/r/speedrun/comments/3pawbn/wr_super_mario_bros_any_in_45762_by_darbian/) he noted that he could still save roughly 0.35 seconds on level 4-2.
