Wow, that's actually really impressive. Good job freaking out the game with such optimization! Screw it, I'll go with a Yes vote.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~! *BSoD crash the Patryk1023.exe*

It's raining optimised runs today, truly impressive. Yes vote for everyone. BTW no one can guess who I am.

BTW no one can guess who I am.

I CAN. Just do the quote.

That went by surprisingly quickly. I'd actually love a technical explanation of what happens to the game

I second that motion.

Did not expect that......I too would love an explanation of the mechanics behind the glitch. Voting YES.

I second that motion.

And I second that emotion!

Once again, I think this should be a real category!

I used the pause glitch which was first documented by me on the 17th of January 2011 here. Basicly, when there is game lag, pauses may cause the game to glitch up. The more lag there is, the greater the likelihood that rapid pausing will make the game reset itself or hang. Aside from crashing, it can often cause blocks (breakable or solid) to be created right above Mario's head - or broken - or you can see a coin flip with nothing else special happening. Thus, this trick can be used to finish the game by only visiting the first level. Only very rarely, something else might happen. This glitch might have the potential to allow us to finish the game in 20 seconds, but it's not well understood yet and all I did so far was random testing.

That was very awesome. However, you seem to break blocks in the "ROM" area of the map, which has been said to be illegitimate on an actual gameboy. Correct me if I'm wrong.

The first two rows of garbage are not ROM, they are ever-changing echo RAM (or whatever you call it) - hence why I navigate through that section so weirdly. At 2:04, for example, I pause a few times to make the two rows of garbage keep solid while Mario zips through. At 2:11, I touch a coin but the address doesn't seem to change - so I guess no write occured? At 2:20, I think it's another block that doesn't change. I could check it when I have the time and motivation. Also, I _might_ be able to get my hands on a v1.0 catridge sometime soon, so I can get to testing on a real console - that is, if the person that I came into touch with doesn't randomly disappear from the internet in the future.

GIVE ME A Y - "Y" GIVE ME AN E - "E" GIVE ME A S - "S" WHAT DOES THAT SPELL?! "YE-" *Yes.exe stopped working*

Interesting crash. I was confused until I read your explanation. I wouldn't have guessed the problem was lag, what with so few sprites on screen. Also, the repeating audio sounds like the sound effect when Kirby has one health point left/low health.

well, that's one way to play the game...

Oh god I love this so much. That level-1 run too. Most glorious.

I think that level-1 run is arguably submittable as a glitched low%, if you optimise it. (The game counts completed exits as an indication of progress, doesn't it? And you don't complete any exits.)

om, nom, nom... blech, salty!
