After Jobst’s video exposing Badabun, Kosmic gained major exposure, giving him around 700 subs after the video came out and then gaining 3,000 subs in the following week.

This isn’t possible for a human player, making the entire run obviously faked. Badabun used a TAS speedrun as evidenced by the use of a technique called fast acceleration which requires you to press both left and right on the NES controller at the same time. These accusations continued until Kosmic did a collab with Karl Jobst, making a video on Jobst’s channel exposing how Badabun faked the speedrun.

Because the video got millions of views before it was exposed as fake, people began to assume that Kosmic “stole” a part of Badabun’s run. In this video, they spliced runs together to make a fake speedrun, one of which was Kosmic’s run. On December 17, 2017, the Mexican YouTube Channel Badabun posted a now infamous video: Pasando Super Mario en 5 minutos. He has done majority of world records on games, most consist of SMB or SMB2:J.Ĭontroversy Kosmic 'Stealing' Runs Kosmic started his channel on 2009 but didn’t post anything until Augwhere he uploaded a quality test and then went onto uploading glitches and tricks for games, he later on went towards streaming Super Mario speedruns on Twitch.
