ТMR named the project NESMania, in honour of Nintendomanía, a 1990s Mexican TV show centred on video games. The playthrough was coordinated with a Google spreadsheet and archived as YouTube videos. He decided it was a good idea, and on May 28, 2014, he started streaming a complete playthrough of the entire licensed NES library, beginning with Whomp 'Em. While speaking online with fellow speedrunners from Chile about the stressful situation regarding his mother's health, they sarcastically suggested that he should play the entire NES library. TMR moved from London to Mexico to take care of her. In 2014, The Mexican Runner's mother's health started to suffer as she developed kidney cysts. Together they recorded a two-player Battletoads completion clocking at 38:44. Occasionally, his brother Marek (dubbed The Mexican Brother) would also participate in the streams. The Mexican Runner began performing NES speedruns on the Twitch streaming platform on January 3, 2013. The Mexican Runner was born to a Mexican father and Polish mother.

TMR is also known for his speedrunning accomplishments in Contra, Battletoads, and Cuphead. After three years, on February 26, 2017, TMR was the first player to play through the entire NTSC and PAL NES catalogue, completing 714 officially-licensed titles in a project he called NESMania, which earned him a Guinness World Record. Piotr Delgado Kusielczuk, better known as The Mexican Runner or TMR, is a speedrunner who specialises in Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) games.
