After fellow speed-runner Sockfolder investigated the issue to find the precise cause, Kosmic updated the results to reflect the actual time he beat the game in. The problem is apparently related to buffer overflow, something that doesn窶冲 always result from the bullet bill glitch.
Original story follows:
One of the two closest finishes in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series came in 2003 when Ricky Craven edged out Kurt Busch by .002 seconds. The second was nearly a decade later when Jimmie Johnson beat Clint Bowyer by the same. To say that either racer won by a hair would be an understatement.

The same goes for Kosmic, who two days ago beat the world record for Super Mario Bros. speed-runs by a single frame.
The previous record was held by Darbian, whose time for completing the game stood at 4:57.24
