This movie has been obsoleted!Click here to see the new movie.This is a TAS of the Japanese Super Mario Bros. 2, a.k.a. 'The Lost Levels', using a suboptimal punk called 'Luigi'. He jumps higher than Mario, but acts slower in many ways. However, the movie is in no way worse than the Mario version - some new creative solutions have been found. Read the authors' comments for details. In the strange-looking screenshot of this entry, we see Luigi becoming taller. | ||

In this berserker state he has also gained the new secret ability to walk through walls at will. Wondering how some tricks work? Information is available at Super Mario Bros. Tricks page. This version is faster than the previous version, due to a different warp zone entry technique in the level 5–2. Also some other levels were changed (after 5–1). This is the real Super Mario Bros 2. It was never officially released in the USA and Europe. It was later ported to SNES, and released as "Lost Levels" on Super Mario All-stars. Phil remembers there were pirate copies of this game under the name Super Mario Bros. 3. FDS means Famicom Disk System. It was a Japanese disk-unit version of the NES. | ||

This movie has been obsoleted!Click here to see the new movie.Battletoads (1991) is a futuristic beat-'em-up game that is known for its graphics and extreme difficulty. The story is that the sexy Dark Queen who wants to rule the universe has kidnapped Princess Angelica and a toad named Pimple. Two other toads, Rash and Zitz, attempt to rescue them and defeat the Dark Queen. This single-player attempt uses warps. Maybe you thought Battletoads was a game full of amphibians, but it is actually full of bugs. Those beta testers really should have spent a little more time on this game... | ||

Graphically this game features some really nice scenes. | ||

A 5 minute record is an excellent time for speedruns of this game, but requires a lot of luck. But here we have a movie that is 50% faster than even that! Phil competed intensely with Walker Boh, and this movie is the final result. At 2006-04-28, a FCEU movie was added to replace the old Famtasia movie. It is 3 frames slower at the beginning, but otherwise identical in content. The AVI was also replaced with a better quality one, hence, the download statistics were reset.
