Tool-assisted movies (5)

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.

For more information, it is encouraged that you read the author's comments.

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.

This game is Super Mario Bros., the original, but on the Famicom Disk System. It is much similar to the ROM version of the game, except for one minor difference that is demonstrated here.

The -1 stage is completely different. In the NES and Unisystem versions, the -1 stage repeats infinitely and cannot be completed, but in FDS, it can be completed, and then come -2 and -3.

The -3 stage in FDS is a castle level, and completing it ends the game, even though it says "princess is in another castle". The princess is not seen in the ending, but she is sighted twice in the -1 stage, as shown in this movie.

This movie is 84 frames faster than the previous one due to the use of a "cheap trick".

Watch this run being played back on a real console.

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.

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.

Wondering how some tricks work? Information is available at Super Mario Bros. Tricks page.

This movie is 00:01.68 seconds faster than the previous version due to new routes in 1-1 and 1-2.

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.

FDS means Famicom Disk System. It was a Japanese disk-unit version of the NES.

Bowser has kidnapped the princess (again) and Mario must save the day. But this time through, he takes a stroll. Nothing bothers Mario as he walks through all the stages, sometimes backwards, on his way to save the princess.

This movie obsoletes HappyLee's walkathon, since it completes all of this game's stages without using any warps. This movie demonstrates the possibility to complete every single stage without pressing the B button. Having been bothered by the lack of running and shooting in this game, the ending outright asks the player to press B.
