SMB The Mystery of Luigi (ルイージの謎), a superb Super Mario Bros. hack by ATA (the same author as Extra Mario Bros).
This is the 3rd TAS I made for this hack, an 195 frame improvement over the last version. Main improvements come from two damage clips. Time-saving adjustments have been made for various rooms.

Game Objectives

  • Getting the best ending in the fastest time.
  • Movie stops after the frame Mario and lifts disappear (the same principle as every other SMB1 TASes).
This TAS has heavy glitch abuse. For those who aren't familiar with it, this hack can be completed without any glitch, and there are two bad endings if Mario hasn't rescued Luigi.

Minor Details

  • In the first underground room, I entered the pipe a few frames later on purpose, to save frames during the damage clip in the next room.
  • I've also thought of and tested other solutions in the Bullet Bill room, but this is the best I can get. The Bullet Bill used is frame precise.
  • In the Luigi room, the wall clipping isn't for entertainment; it saves 2 frames.
  • Before the flagpole, I performed music sync with jumping.
Suggested screenshot (frame #3847):

feos: Claiming for judging.
feos: It's even better than I anticipated! Obvious acceptance.
