Un-freaking-believable! Super Mario 3

[Arc]

Maybe these guys can see if Tom Nook sells lives.

did anyone happen to try and count how many one ups he got?

[Stabwound]

I counted about 103.

I once saw a guy finish the original Mario in just under 15 minutes. He used all the warps and he didn't die once until 10 seconds from the very end when he got downgraded from the really big mario to a smaller one (and then he found another feather right away). It would have taken him less time but he decided to go to some secret rooms to get coins for some reason

It was the most amazing thing I'd ever seen.. and yes this was in real life.

There weren't any feathers in Super Mario Bros....which is the original...right?

Stab, I'm sure he had more...cuz he was hitting the 1ups well after a while when he reached hte 99 limit.

Jesus christ! All that hopping from cannon ball to cannon ball and bob-omb to bob-omb! That's insane!

Uh then the mushrooms.. whatever they were... I am pretty sure it was the original as it had the mario song that everyone knows and it looked mega old (and was on the NES).

[Stabwound]

He starts with 4 lives. It looks like he gets about 6 after hitting 99, plus he gets one more on the last level.

99+6+1=106

106-4 = 102

Close enough.

I found the awesome Mario 1 video, but it's in a non-standard format. You have to play it in the Famtasia emulator.

Here, I made a nice package to let you guys watch it.

http://www.angelfire.com/alt/stabwound/famtasia.zip

Unzip that and then follow these simple directions:

1. Double click on famtasia.exe
2. Drag the mario.nes file into the emulator window, or open it through File->Open
3. Next, click Edit->Movie->Play then click on the "..." button and locate the mario.fmv file which should be in the included in the /fmv/ directory of my zip file.
4. Click OK and enjoy.

It's really damn awesome how he exploits all those glitches. My personal favorite is the "goomba trick" in the 2nd level.

[ÆNIMA]

Or just copy the original URL, open whatever media player you use and click on "Open URL" and plug that bad boy in.

[Stabwound]

That would be a great plan if it wasn't for the whole "non-standard" format thing.

.fmv isn't even a movie file. It's a recording of a series of controller presses which makes the emulator play the exact same thing every time.

So you can stop trying to be Mr. Know-it-All, kthx.

I find that all bullshit. You cant jump on Bowsers head
