Before rising to spotlight in cubing for his efficient solutions in N×N×N cubes, Kolasiński specialized in the Pyraminx event, where he previously achieved the world record single and has held the Pyraminx average world record a total of five times.[12][13] He became the 2019 Pyraminx world champion after winning the event in the WCA World Championship 2019, with a final average of 2.40 seconds.[14]

On December 19 2021, at Cubers Eve Lubartów 2021, Kolasiński broke Max Park's 3x3 world record average of 5.32 seconds, with an average of 5.09 seconds.[15][16][17][18] Park later broke this record at Marshall Cubing September 2022, with an average of 4.86 seconds.[19] This record was later tied by Kolasiński, before being beaten in 2023 by Yiheng Wang.[11][20]

At the Rubik's WCA European Championship 2022, he also achieved the first official 3x3 competition solve under 4 seconds caught on camera.[17]
