I want you to push your chair back, look at the computer, think about all the things you could be doing to advance the life you have, or the life of someone else, and realize just how ironic that statement is.RidetheLightning said:

I stand in awe. Even if he did cheat (something about a warp pipe not going to a warp zone earlier in the thread), this video is amazing. So many places I would have rushed or lost control and died. Amazing.
Sorry to quote you again, but I just dusted off my old gameboy colour and gave it a whizz through, I have the Super Mario Bros. Deluxe edition, but I'm guessing it's the same as his version.jerrrry said:
He does indeed appear to cheat at 2:32 in the video. The Warp zone is located in the three blocks seen at 2:21, he however passes these, and goes down a pipe that leads to an ordinary coin zone, but in his game, it leads to the warp zone.
Also of note was a disappearing plant at exactly 7:00, it doesn't go back down into to pipe, it just disappears, and I may be wrong, but I think the pipe he travels down in the flying fish bit is the wrong pipe (7:26) I think he actually should go across the lava pit and into the next pipe.
I dunno, unless he has some strange version he must have done some mods.
I'm more wondering about him running across gaps myself. Now, it's been awhile, but I'm pretty sure if you try to do that you just fall...captainjackofms said:

It's still pretty impressive even though glitches and exploits were used.I pull off a couple interesting tricks and glitches to make this work. In 4-2, I backwards jump into a few obstacles to scroll the screen without Mario to trick the pipe into taking me to the vine's usual location. In 8-1, I have to perform a pretty precise jump off a goomba to avoid some coins. Also, getting under the first set of 2 coins towards the end of this level takes a very careful jump, and always makes me nervous. In 8-4, I scroll the screen to just the right position to allow me to use some blocks as platforms. No wall jumps are required in this run at all.
I agree, the jump goes higher than you can actually do in the game. Theres no way to jump over those piranha plants unless you use some kind of hack.SoopaSte123 said:
But it still is an amazing play.
Now he will emerge from his basement and find that the world around him has changed.
Why does he say "almost lowest" it doesn't seem like it possibly could get lower.
Unless someone manages to do a sick jump that avoids the 2 coins and doesn't need a goomba stomp. Also, holy shit how did he not die at the hammer throwers.

IF ONLY HE HAD WAITED A SECOND LONGER AND MISSED THAT GOOMBA, HE WOULD HAVE GOTTEN A 500pt RUN!
No seriously, I don't understand why I'm so riveted to this.

The goomba stomp was on purpose. If he had tried to clear the jump normally, he would have been forced to take the coins. If he didn't hit the goomba, then he'd fall to his death.conflictofinterests said:
Hell if I know how wall jumping glitch works in here though.
Nope, you can sprint over the gaps if they are only 1 block wide.Cain_Zeros said:
I'm in two minds about the Plants though, as I remember jumping over some in 4-1 and hitting others while doing what he did, but can't be sure.
The 4-2 warp was probably a mistake which he reloaded, but for the sake of flow didn't show any of the part he'd already shown.
It's just really annoying to see people make "too much free time" comments every time someone posts something cool like this. For the same time it takes to play one modern video game, any one of us could perfect something like this and have a 100k+ youtube video to show for it, instead of some Mass Effect 2 (or whatever) achievements that literally no one else cares about.RidetheLightning said:
If you're running, you can pass tiny gaps. Game design.GasMasksAreForChumps said:
Anyway, it looks... legit. And awesome.
Someone needs to make a pun about his name, though. Someone.
I was actually more interested in the battle against King Koopa cause I have never seen it before
The only question I would have as to its legitimacy would be whether he took savestates between levels and then spliced together the perfect runs of each level (not outside the realms of possibility by any stretch of the imagination).
Still an impressive run though, regardless of whether that's the case. The solution to the goomba pit amused me too ^_^

its bread in to me that everything in game must die, this is almost painful to watch! quite cool though
