Mario & Wario is a puzzle game for the Super Famicom that was released only in Japan. It was designed by one Satoshi Tajiri and developed by Game Freak, and it is one of the very few games that made use of the Super Famicom mouse accessory. The gameplay has you directing a blinded and autowalking Mario and friends through various levels back to Luigi. Blocks can be broken and switches can be activated to ensure they are safe from harm and can get to Luigi.

The story of the game begins with Mario, Luigi, Yoshi and Princess Peach traveling to the Fairy's Forest in search of the Fairy of Fortune. Luigi then gets lost and separated from the other three, and Wario drops a bucket on Mario's head and various other things on Peach and Yoshi's heads. It's up to Wanda, the Fairy of Fortune herself, to reunite them with Luigi by ensuring their safety and directing them to Luigi himself.

In this run, Sam_Underscore chooses to beat the game as fast as possible by completing only Worlds 8, 9, and 10, the only worlds required for completion. Input is ended early to let Yoshi walk to Luigi in the final level by himself.
