Steven Kleisath and Stephen Boyer recently set a record of 1,280,550 points in Mario Bros.'s "Ultimate NO POW Hardest Difficulty 2 Player" difficulty setting. In short, this means that POW blocks, which are extremely useful items that can damage all enemies on the screen at once, cannot be used to defeat enemies within the game. The record was accomplished this by playing the game via a netplay service and by communicating with one another through a speakerphone. Suffice to say, the record is a very impressive feat!
