It’s impossible that Spelunky, one of the toughest games in the world, doesn’t have its own speedrun community. But exactly eight years ago, a name not well known to the community BarryMode finished the game in 2 minutes and 30 seconds, placing it at the top of the list.
Over the years, all kinds of players tried to beat this record, but they couldn’t get past it and counted it where it was. Today, the reason for this has officially appeared. YouTuber XanaGear has dealt another blow to the world of speedrun by revealing piece by piece that this record is rigged in his video.
BarryMode, who was moderated for being the first Spelunky run to enter Speedrun.com; has long been on the community’s agenda. Explaining that no one believes in this record, XanaGear says that even for this reason alone, they believe that BarryMode should be moderated. But it took a long time to discover the use of this trick.
XanaGear, who began researching last February, has discovered the truth behind a long-running confusing topic. BarryMode;a frame that was missing from the loading screens finally gave himself away. Apparently, this belongs to players who produce modes for open source gameplay. Using this mode, you can record your game and then start again from where you recorded it.
BarryMode, who has been officially proven to be cheating, has now been stripped of his eight-year leadership and modification.
