In order to mash quickly, you basically just have to tense your arm, causing it to shake. Then you focus that rapid shaking into the button you need to mash. That's what's being demonstrated here.
I collected a lot of games in the early 2010s, but I was priced out of the market by 2015, so I turned my attention to hardware. Bought a nice professional monitor while prices were still low, then got to work getting RGB from all of my consoles. That left me with a bunch of games and a great way to enjoy them all.
However, I never did stop collecting. Instead of buying games, I turned my attention towards store kiosks, displays, and signs. This ended up being a really enjoyable new direction for the hobby, since it brought back that thrill of the hunt got me into game collecting in the first place. Kiosks in particular can contain unique hardware inside of them. For example, the side loaded DS-16 game changer in the Sega Genesis kiosk, or the 46-game brain board in the Atari 2600 POP kiosk.
When it comes to preservation, I feel like I do a lot more good as a collector by acquiring, maintaining, and (sometimes) repairing / restoring these store display items. None of them are meant to end up in consumer hands; they are all destined for the trash heap unless someone intervenes.
