Tool-assisted movies (18)

It's been a long time since the movies for this game were last improved. This improvement is not big, but not that there was much to improve. This movie is 47 frames (0.7 seconds) faster than Michael Fried's previous version, and involves a little more wall-jumping tricks.

This is the real Super Mario Bros 2.

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.

In the strange-looking screenshot of this entry, we see Luigi becoming taller.

Mario has eaten too many poisonous mushrooms and as a result, decided to go on a furious killing spree. In this berserker state he has also gained the new secret ability to walk through walls at will.

This version is really faster than the previous on some levels, but emulator differences (specifically Famtasia's faster loading time) balances out the time.

This is a historic movie, submitted and obsoleted before the creation of the database-based (and wiki-based) site engine, before July 2004.

It was inserted to the database in a history revival project by Bisqwit in autumn 2006.

As for the movie itself... This is Bisqwit's 3rd attempt and is about 3 seconds faster than the previous. The time saved comes from small improvements starting in 4-1.

This movie (Fried's 2nd attempt) beats Bisqwit's movie by almost 3 seconds. Improvement come from overall better precision. The most significant one seems to come at the end of 5-1 where a koopa is used to launch mario up to the top of the wall.

Original description:
(Yes, this game is real. It just wasn't released in the USA.)

This is a historic movie, submitted and obsoleted before the creation of the database-based (and wiki-based) site engine, before July 2004.

It was inserted to the database in a history revival project by Bisqwit in autumn 2006.

As for the movie itself... This is Bisqwit's 2nd attempt but our first publication on record. It uses the same warp route as modern movies but does not use modern time-saving glitches (as they were not known at the time). Power-ups are avoided in this movie. In 1-2 there is a nice use of a wall-jump to save time.

Mario has eaten too many poisonous mushrooms and as a result, decided to go on a furious killing spree. In this berserker state he has also gained the new secret ability to walk through walls at will.
