After the game was released on October 27, 2017, the world record began rapidly decreasing, reaching a time of 1:05:14 by speedrunner Shaeden before the end of the year. Early speedruns were played on [[Version 1.0.1|game version 1.0.1]], and later the functionally identical [[version 1.1.0]] after its release on November 30, 2017, even after it was discovered that the earlier [[version 1.0.0]] was faster due to a version-exclusive trick known as [[First Moon Skip]]. The use of version 1.0.0 and First Moon Skip was banned since it only made one additional speedrun trick possible, and was difficult to obtain due to the requirement to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factory_reset factory reset] one's Switch to obtain it.

On February 21, 2018, [[version 1.2.0]] was made available, which introduced the [[Luigi's Balloon World]] minigame and patched numerous glitches, including [[Sphynx Clip]] and [[Turnip clip|Turnip Clip]], which were used in the Any% run. Because of this, it was now even more difficult to obtain version 1.1.0 than 1.0.0, and the decision was made to allow all game versions to be used to prevent the speedrun from ultimately becoming slower. On March 6, 2018, speedrunner NicroVeda obtained the first world record to use version 1.0.0 and First Moon Skip.

After much speculation and anticipation, the one-hour time barrier was finally broken by NicroVeda on March 23, 2019. Shortly thereafter, the introduction of [[version 1.3.0]] on April 25, 2019 made the use of version 1.0.0 obsolete, since although all glitches patched in version 1.2.0 remained patched, version 1.3.0 features significantly faster load times than any previous version, offsetting the time lost to the glitches being patched. The first world record obtained using version 1.3.0 was set on May 3, 2019 by goryuya.
