Is this what happened after “Dangerous Dave in Copyright Infringement”?
Actually, it looks like Lane Roathe chimed in on the top comment.
This is a prototype of SMB3 on the PC, ported by id Software. Nintendo of America liked it, but HQ in Japan killed it to avoid competing with the NES. Watch Mario jump to sounds of Commander Keen!

The guy playing this is triggering me, is it their first time playing Mario?

The description says it was originally uploaded by John Romero. Not far in, you can see him kick the turtle shell into the block to get the power-up. It was not his first time playing the game. He seems to be showing how closely they replicated the functionality of SMB3 on the NES but in DOS, which was very impressive at the time and eventually became Commander Keen.

How so? What are they doing wrong? They even fly in the first level to get the coins. Bear in mind this is a proof of concept not a speed run.

It’s a showcase demo, not a completed game.
