Tool-assisted movies (3)

Contrary to common belief, Super Mario Bros. can be completed without pressing B at all.

This is a sidestroller, speedwalk, or whatever you want to call it.

This movie underwent a very intense frame war. In the end, HappyLee was the victor with this 4 second improvement over the previous movie.

And as this video shows, this is also possible on an actual NES.

This movie is a full warpless run-through.

It is about a 2 second improvement over the previous movie by adelikat, klmz & andrewg. Most of the improvement comes from a new "shell glitch" that makes Mario decide to ignore the castle and instead rub sensually against the flag pole's support.

Be sure to check out the video of a real NES playing back this movie.

This movie also has a full Atlas Map encode in two parts, part 1 and part 2, which shows the standard encode overlaid on a zoomed out map.

Here at TASVideos we make perfect movies... and then we beat them again — this time by 1 frame, which, considering the fiercely competitive history of this run, is actually significant.

And if watching this TAS on an emulator isn't satisfying enough, why not see it played back on a real console!

Note: Using RTA timing, this run clocks in at 04:54.03.
