Super Mario Bros 3 - Time attack! (a video)

Check it out!
Amazing stuff (this guy is really great)!

---------------

and to answer your questions:

1) no I do not know how to play .fmv-files... they are
related to the famtasia-emulator I guess, but I am (for some
reason?) unable to play it in there...

2) yes, If I had the money, I would employ this guy as
"gameplayer", he should be payed to play!

He is waaay too good at it. Some of the footage looks a bit
weird, like if it was manipulated. Either that or it's a
bootleg copy or something. Some of it looks a little off.

yeah... but it's real allright...

check out the fmv file (if you know how to use it - and if
you do; tell me about it!)...
I think it's like a recorded movie of the emulator...
But then if it's done on the emulator, who knows how he did
it? I mean he could e.g. be playing at a really low speed.

now I will be nude for a while... listening to VNV nation
and taking a shower (while nude).

A couple of observations:

Whilst his showboating on the forced scrolling (extra live
gathering antics using time to kill while waiting for it to
scroll) levels are impressive, he takes a lot of
unneccessary risks. I'm not sure you would bother in a
serious record attempt...

I didn't knpow you could build up your "P meter" as normal
mario and then use it when you got the leaf- I thought you
had to build it up again. I'll check this on my actual NES
next time I get it out.

The jerky "off" movement in places is proabably due to it
being run on an emulator. Even if it seems perfect, play a
game on a real nes right after it and you spot the
difference (Amusingly pocket Nes for the GBA is, aside from
the slightly iffy graphics, the most accurate nes emulator
I've used- even more so than the PC ones!)

I was about to criticise him for getting 3 stars at the end
of levels (slight slowdown for fireworks) however, he overan
just enough and got a mushroom as the third one- this guy
knows all the tricks!

hmmm the PWING as it is named in the game can only be used
once and you when you do use it before you enter the level
you have a "P" suit on..... this isnt the case in THIS game
we are seeing. WTF

No, I was refering to the meter that you build up by
running- not the powerup you get a couple of times that you

have to use on the map screen. The way he achieves a
similair effect with the normal leaf powerup is by running
constantly.

The facts it's done on an emulator does make me think it
might be each level done perfectly (seperately) and then
just combined. It is possible he did it the way you see it,

but as I said, you'd probably not risk it with all the
showboating he did on the scrolling levels.

Also, he was very "lucky" crossing those 6 boxes on
the
final world (the ones the hand can appear on and pulls you
into a level). I've never crossed that without being caught

on at least one. This coupled with his showboating is what
makes me suspicious... he'd have to play through the game up

to that point dozens of time to be lucky enough to cross
without getting pulled in (unless, as is with the fireworks

in SMB1, it's not actually random and it can be "read" based

on the timer etc.). If you were lucky enough to get that far

without making a mistake and the game let you through, you
probably wouldn't do anything risky for the rest of the
attempt...

(5 boxes)

i don't think there's a timer in theouter world, but maybe
it's based on where the rings are at in the boxes

also i hate being in peoria

not my site...
did anyone try the videofile (.fmv)?
It is a recorded file from the emulator I think... so if we
can watch that one instead, we can maybe get some
answers...

I think if you're as good as this guy is one some of these
levels, chances are big he did it all in one sweep...

THAT'S THE FUCKING CRAZIEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN.

He cuts it so close... I can't believe it, there has GOT to
be a catch. I can't imagine someone being lucky enough to do
EVERY level this flawlessly. Actually, I'm still watching
the vid, I'm only on like the 4th level. Madness.

I'm in awe.

And with all this surgical precision, it kind of makes me
wonder whether Nintendo DESIGNED the game and layed out the
obstacles and enemies in a way that they meant it to be
possible to dominate it so thoroughly. Everything is right
where it needs to be. That's not faked. He's schooling those
pirahna plants. He's the fucking daddy.

those 5 boxes, it is possible to pass them without being
taken down.. ive down it once myself actually.

but still when he was flying he had to leaf or whatever that
gives you a tail, he was just small?

I can beat super mario brothers 2 in under 16 minutes and
have found some improvements since that. It can probably be
done under 15 and maybe 14 barely. But that game is a lot
easier than smb3 (imo). This video is mind blowing,
especially the jumping on all the canonballs for one ups.
jeez this guy is good.

Yes, I noticed that with regard to the placement of the
leafs/fireball plants... the way you can always have them
before those mini bosses on the tank/airship levels...

Ophecks, you know SMB3 is out on GBA now?

After a lot of dicking about with various verisons patching,
downloading software and whatnot I've finally got a working
copy of super mario brother 3 (super mario advance) on my
GBA (aside from the nes emulated version ;). I was really
worried they'd mess up the play mechanics somehow, but
they've done a great job... lovely graphics too whilst
retaining the sharp definition of the original.

Get a copy!

the game follows strict pattern movements of enemies. thats
why when you play, they move the same way each time. its all
preset.

if you know the time/place of everything just off the top of
your head, you could do what this player did. so its
definitely doable in my eyes.

the hardest part to me, is deciding you want to take so much
fucking time out of your life to do something like that, and
going about doing it.

thats the most insane thing to me.

i strongly feel that this guy was using the save state
function between lvls...especially the 6 boxes that grab
you... he jsut flew across them the first time...do you
actually think that he was like:

"shit they grabbed me!' then reset the WHOLE FUCKING GAME,
start over and get a decent time?

dont; think so.

At first i thiought that MAYBE he wrote a program that
played the game perfectly, but there's a little bit to much
"fun" going on. ie, the jump+shoot techniques.

also i STRONGLY believe that he edited the "pipe warp" level
sequences. Yeha, MAYBE he knows how to do them SO
PERFECTALLY every time...but i highly doubt it.

i highly doubt this is 100% legit played through. My main
argument being his fly by night passing of the 6
boxes...yeah fucking right.

Yes, the voices which I always associate with mario 64 sound
out of place on the GBA in 2d games...

Nicer interface on it with things like the map screen, the
controls feel more responsive. I'll have to set up my nes
and compare the two to be more specific, but I really like
the gba version.

Nanotech:

Yep, those concerns at the back of my mind are what stop me
from being absolutely blown away by it... if it was a video
of the guy doing it on a real nes with a Twin Galaxies
referee there it would be awesome.

I'm pretty sure he's using save states as the amount of
skills needed to do that is just... not human. I didn't know
half of the techniques he was using and I swear I peeled my
thumbs at this game in my time.

The most insane replays I know to be legit are from the
japanese guys playings shmups at insane difficulty levels.

Have you seen that new game similar to DDR where you drum?
It's got two drumsticks on chords on the machine and 5 pads
and a kick drum pedal. Good idea, but hard to play with
other music going on in the background and also the pads
required you to hit them really hard... the machine said it
was the only one in europe so I'm assuming it was japanese
in origin.

yeah, that's called "drum mania" and it's compatible with
"guitar freaks." So one guy can be the drummer, and one can
be the guitarist.

drum mania is cool though, it's killed ddr as japan knows
it. i think what turned off the japanese is that when you
start kicking ass at ddr you get all sweaty. especially if
you're decent enough to beat tons of others.

there's other "music sims" out there in the japanese
arcades...but drum mania is the most popular.
