This is not a speedrun. This is Super Mario Bros completed without running.
That's right, I don't press the B button at all during this movie.
One would think it's impossible to complete SMB without pressing B, but I've proven those suspicions wrong.
Some of the game glitches weren't available for this mode of play, but I'm sure this run is entertaining enough to warrant at least one view.

Actually I think the idea in this video is not bad at all, even though it was made as a joke. I downloaded it when it was available and I actually enjoyed it. I was wondering: Would be a crazy idea to create some type of "fun section" or whatever in the site where other types of interesting or funny videos are published, such as this one? They don't necessarily have to be complete runs through games, but something funny or interesting. But of course complete runs using some type of limitation (such as no running here) could sometimes be cool, specially if that limitation introduces extreme difficulties in completing the game.

Something wacky like you must always face left as you move?

I think that would be a good idea only if it really makes an interesting video. Otherwise it feels just too artificial. A limitation should not make the video boring, but on the contrary interesting.

Well Megaman where you can only shoot at boss type characters would be interesting.

I think pacifist movies are an example of limitation-enforced movies...

I can't believe I never noticed this movie. That was hilarious! I had no idea that this was possible. Will it be optimized next April 1? :)
TASing or playing back a DOS game? Make sure your files match the archive at RGB Classic Games.

Isn't "B" the jump button? If you never pressed it, what glitch makes him jump?

A is jump. Holding B while moving makes Mario run (as opposed to walking). (B is also shooting, when you have the fireflower power.)

That's odd... It's been eaten by a grue, yet it remains published there.

I don't get it. But to further this off-topic, wikipedia on grues! (I didn't know what they were, myself)

The description of the video says it's an unhacked ROM, but why does mario start with 3 lives instead of 5?

...Because that's what he normally starts with? Maybe you were thinking of one of the remakes.

Mario does start with three lives in SMB - do give it a try on your NES, and you'll see. He starts with five in SMB3 (at least in the European and US releases), though, so maybe that's what you're thinking of?

If you don't believe it, download the FCM and play that with your ROM. If it's not the right ROM, it'll desync.

I have an idea. Why not try a run where you get the lowest score possible? I found a video of it on youtube: http://youtube.com/watch?v=_0E2SCGKtLI

Because waiting 200 to 300 time units before going to the flagpole isn't exactly entertaining to watch.
