For some gamers, just sitting down to play is not enough anymore. Some break world records by accident, while other grit their teeth and grind to set a new record. Whichever the case, throughout the years a lot of Guinness World Records have been set by dedicated gamers all over the world.

Some of these records are jew-dropping, while others are just bizarre, but all of them deserve a salute. There are those that seem unbreakable, or even detrimental to the health of someone who attempts it. Here are the 10 Guinness World Records in gaming that seem pretty impossible to beat.

10 Longest Minecraft Marathon

People who play Minecraft get trapped for hours on end, as its open-world endless gameplay is highly addictive. But while ordinary players log off after about 4 hours, a dedicated Minecraft-savvy Mark Walls-Sawchuk sat down to play his favorite game and only saw the outside world 35 hours and 40 minutes later.

While some got close to this 2016 record, no one has beaten it. However, this wasn't just a goofy attempt to set a meaningless world record. In fact, Mark streamed his record-breaking session live, and used it to raise money for St. Jude's Children Hospital.

9 Longest Halo Marathon

Halo fans just can't seem to get enough. In fact, one particular Halo fan, Paavo Niskala from Finland, managed to set the Guinness World Record for the longest Halo marathon. His run clocked in at 50 hours, 4 minutes and 17 seconds.

Ever since that October night in 2015, no one has been able to break this record. Niskala claimed this achievement as a celebration for the launch of Halo 5. Truly, what better way to pay tribute to someone's favorite video game than playing it for 50 hours straight?

8 Longest Mario Kart Marathon

One of the most addictive video games out there, the Mario Kart series holds a number of Guinness World Records. One of the most impressive of these records is the major marathon held by Ben Fick, Anthony Lehnertz, and Hunter Nierman.

This 40-hour marathon was held in the University of Iowa Stead Family Children Hospital. Throughout the journey, the trio invited hospital patients to join in as the fourth player in the game. Hats off to this endearing record, that hasn't been broken in three years.

7 Most "F" Words In A Video Game

Swearing in Video Games

One of the most bizarre records recognized by the committee of Guinness World Records, is the most swear words in a video game. While a lot of games drop the "F" bomb a number of times, the most famous is probably Mafia II with 397 uses, approximately once every 2 minutes. However, the highest occurrence of the "F" word is actually in the 2006 game Scarface: The World is Yours.

This game drops the 4-letter word a total of 5688 times. It's uncertain whether this was an intentional effort to set a world record or not. While the breaking of this record is not up to the players, rather it's the developers' job, it's still quite impressive. It's always a useful fun fact for dull conversations.

6 Fastest Completion Of Star Wars: Battlefront Survival Mode

Other Guinness World Records in the gaming category strive for speed rather than long marathons. One highly impressive record was that of Keren and Tim Young from the UK. This father-daughter duo managed to complete the survival mode of Battlefront without using blasters in 9 minutes and 18 seconds.

For some families, a team-building exercise is better left under 10 minutes, as these two prove. They set this record in the summer of 2018 and haven't been beaten to this day. Whatever their motivation, it's one of the most impressive records in the gaming genre waiting to be broken.

5 Largest Pokémon Memorabilia Collection

Lisa Courtney lives in the UK, and her way of dealing with grey skies and rain is to bringing color into her life. Her house is home to 17,127 pieces of Pokémon collectibles and memorabilia. She set this unique record in 2016, and people don't dare to challenge her.

Some items from her collection and her Guinness World Record certificate are displayed in a museum, but most still have a home next to her. Courtney often travels to Japan for the sole purpose of collecting, and surprisingly still has some items on her wishlist. The most important of these is the Pokémon Center deluxe-size Tyranitar plush, which she's been after for over 10 years.

4 Longest Call Of Duty Marathon

The longest Call of Duty marathon was at one point the Guinness World Record holder for the longest video game marathon ever. It now stands at a close second, but remains the longest marathon in the CoD franchise. With 135 hours, 15 minutes and 10 seconds under his belt, Okan Kaya is the record holder in this category.

Kaya set this world record 2012 in Australia, playing from November 13th to the 19th. With such an impressive run, it doesn't look like anyone's coming for his crown anytime soon.

3 Longest-Running Storyline In A Video Game Franchise

The longest-running cohesive storyline in gaming goes to Tekken, with over 20 years of games and still counting. Even the director of the game was surprised by this, thinking the honor would go to an RPG. Instead, this franchise from the early 90s took the prize. While it's not up to gamers to beat the record, everyone is eagerly waiting for a developer to shoot for the stars.

Older franchises, like Tomb Raider and Doomwere disqualified because of their reboots. Tekken, however, has kept an unbroken storyline for over 20 years. Characters have gotten married, died, been replaced, or engaged in hostile takeovers. The story is mainly told in arcade mode through texts over still images, so some players don't even know the story. However, die-hard fans love the ups and downs in the background of this fighting game series.

2 Largest Video Game Collection

Every gamer is proud of their collection, as they should be. They're kept clean, nice and neat on the shelf, in specific order, and they're the light of the lives of gamers everywhere. But Antonio Romero Montero has set the bar high for this record in 2020, with 20,139 games in his collection.

This man can truly play anything he wants, as his home in Richmond serves as a Mecca for gamers. His collection is so big that it took him eight days to count them all. It all began when he was twelve years old, and by now he has the complete collection of PS2 and 3 in North America – and many more titles.

1 Longest Game Marathon Of All Time

The one world record everyone dreams to beat is the longest game marathon of all time. In 2015, Carrie Swidecki took care of that, dethroning the Call of Duty record holder and setting the bar higher than ever with 138 hours and 34 seconds in Just Dance.

People everywhere were surprised that someone could beat this record with Just Dance, but Carrie proved them wrong. She held the previous record in Just Dance and wanted to beat herself while raising for charity. She played from July 11th to the 17th nonstop, making this not only the most sought after record in gaming, but arguably the most impressive record yet.
