Guest Waldo Report post Posted November 26, 2003 Thanks, I've been looking for this. There's one with a guy going through Mario 1 and doing all this insane shit like he's played it 1,000,000 times before. Skill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Downhome 0 Report post Posted November 26, 2003 Good lord. I simply can't believe what I just saw. Not only did the person do it in 11 minutes, but he didn't get hit a single time or anything, and did a bunch of stuff that I've never even known about in all my years playing the game. This person must have played this game untill he fucking went crazy, in order to get down all of the patterns, etc... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest I'm That Damn Zzzzz Report post Posted November 26, 2003 It probably can be done faster on the US version, it doesn't have the screen zoom in like the Japanese version does, saving 1.5 seconds per level. http://classicgaming.com/tmk/smb3_j-e.shtml Still, the trick of catching the racoon leaf with a full flight bar in the first fortress kicks ass.

The Metal Maniac 0 Report post Posted November 26, 2003 I've seen this before...crazy-go-nuts. WAIT! No I haven't! This guy cheats! There's one that takes about 40 minutes or so, but it's every single level. And I think the Japanese version works differently..it seems like he can do wall-jumps (which I don't think you can do over here, but I could be wrong) and he's disturbingly good at jumping off an enemy by charging right at him.

Guest Fook Report post Posted November 26, 2003 (edited) That's pretty impressive (especially the 1ups during the tank levels), but unless the Japanese version is different, i'm calling shenanigans on this. Note: all of these are for the American version, so if it's different in Japan, they don't apply. 1) (never mind this one) 2) you can't touch any part of bowser or you get hurt, this guy was jumping on him like a normal enemy 3) for the first flute, you have to wait until you fall through the ledge before you can get it, he didn't wait Plus, he seems to be moving too fast for it to be completely real. Mario just doesn't move that fast, at least not when I'm controlling him. Edited November 26, 2003 by Fook_Hing_Ho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoff 0 Report post Posted November 26, 2003 1) you need three flutes to go from world 1 to world 8, not two You most certainly do not. Use a flute in the warp world (was it World 9? I forget) and BAM, World 8. The jury's still out on the legitamacy of this, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Fook Report post Posted November 26, 2003 Look at the clock in the first level compared to the clock in the first tank level. It seems to be moving at a slower pace as it only takes him 6 game seconds to complete the first level. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I honestly always thought the second flute would bring you to world 5, 6, or 7, but not world 8. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It'd be another thing if it took him several takes over the course of a couple hours and then another hour on top of that to cut and paste the video footage Dammit, now I guess I have to see this for myself Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted November 26, 2003 Unbelievable. Every jump, every fireball, just perfectly timed. What impressed me the most was getting through 8-1 and 8-2 in seconds. I remember it took me forever to beat both of those worlds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slayer 0 Report post Posted November 26, 2003 I'm only a minute in, and my doubts are piled high already Like FKH pointed out, there's some major inconsistincies with the clock speed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Fook Report post Posted November 26, 2003 8-1 was always a bitch, but 8-2 is rediculously easy - just fall through the first sand trap and you'll enter a secret area and you'll ultimately end up near the end of the level. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Waldo Report post Posted November 26, 2003 He might have did this on an emulator. Some of the NES emulators allow you to "macro" keystrokes and play them back. So he could have edited the macro file so that every jump was perfect, then let the emulator read the macro file and mimic the keystrokes (which would explain how it's so perfect). He also might have played the game at an extremely slow pace by using speed controls that an emulator provides. That would explain the picture perfect jumps. The macro would also play back normally if he recorded it like that, then had the emulator mimic the keystrokes while the game played full speed. We'll probably never know exactly what he did.

Guest Waldo Report post Posted November 26, 2003 Like FKH pointed out, there's some major inconsistincies with the clock speed I agree - everytime he reaches a difficult jump or has alot of enemies to avoid, the clock practically stops. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Waldo Report post Posted November 26, 2003 :: reads through Game Genie book :: Apparently if you use Game Genie cheats in Mario 3, in the final stage after defeating Bowser you have to go to the farthest right of the screen (by the door), face right and jump before the "quake" in order for the game not to freeze. Look what he does in the video. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
