Use this free Super Mario speedrun timer to measure a complete run or practise a section. Start immediately or use the optional five-second countdown, then stop and resume or reset for another attempt.
How to use the speedrun timer
- Choose your game and category, and decide where you will start and finish timing.
- Optionally select Countdown before starting. Press Start to begin immediately or after the five-second countdown.
- Press Stop when you finish. Press Start again to resume the same time, or Reset to return to zero.
The timer measures elapsed time in your browser. It does not save results or record splits, so note your final time before resetting or leaving the page. Keep the page open during your attempt.
Using the timer for Super Mario runs
Choose a game and goal before you start. In Super Mario Bros., you might practise reaching the end using warps or try a warpless route. In Super Mario 64, decide how many stars you intend to collect. For Super Mario Odyssey, choose a route and keep the game version consistent when comparing attempts.
Practise faster Mario movement
- Break a route into sections. Practise a difficult jump or level on its own, then time a complete attempt to see how it affects your finish.
- Work on consistency. A reliable route can be more useful than a risky shortcut that often ends a run.
- Record your result. Write down the game, category and final time after stopping the timer so you can compare like-for-like attempts.
Can I use this time for a leaderboard?
This stopwatch is useful for practice and personal timing, but leaderboard rules vary by game and category. Check the community’s start and end points, timing method, version restrictions and evidence requirements before submitting. Some categories use in-game time or require video verification, so the displayed stopwatch time may not be the official result. See Speedrun.com’s guide to starting a speedrun and the rules for your chosen game.
