Comments

Rocked this out. A few hundred thousand rerecords got me an optimal walking gameover run for the original Super Mario Bros.

Stage by stage comments

Stage 1-1:

Died three times without running.

Other comments

I could probably improve this run by running. Also, I apparently saved roughly 480 times per frame, so I could not do that too.

I'm almost certain running would make it faster. Voting No for suboptimal run.

Do you think you'd vote yes if I put this under a 'uses as few buttons as possible' descriptor?
