It's apparently a glitch in the code that was recently found, it requires a rather convoluted set of steps. But, I'd call it an exploit, you don't fight Bowser, you don't even go to world 8, basically skips a massive chunk of the game and goes straight to the credits. |
Saying this is an exploit and not valid, is like saying all other games runs like Zelda: Ocarine Time aren't valid too, I lost count how many levels, dungeons some speed runners jumped with Zelda, is ridiculous. If the code is not altered by the user, but exploiting the original code cause of bugs while playing the game thats it totally valid like any other speed run since the fault is not your is the developers fault.
