Hi ! Its Mr.TASer, and I've created a TAS of the rom hack Super Mario Bros. in which the minus world has been extended by placing a flagpole at the end which auto generates random levels. I created this in BizHawk 2.6.2 with TAS Studio. The BIOS I used was the "FDS_disksys-nintendo.rom". I found it in an archive for BizHawk firmware archive. In this run, I've clipped through the wall of 1-2 and got into the pipe before the text "2","3", or "4" appears above them to reach a messy world called minus world. It is called so because there is no world number in it's name " -1". And please don't say that I've wasted time by backwards jumping because it isn't. I had just beaten all the levels as soon as possible, and there is no warp in this category, also the aim is to touch the flagpole of " -3", after -3, nothing loads for some reason. I used TAS Studio, RAM Watch for making it and FFMPEG extension for encoding in 2K (4:3). You can view it on the embedded video. I posted this because, once I saw a TAS of "Extra Mario Bros." on the channel and thought to submit it because it is also pretty speedrunned hack. Please support by favouring :)

feos: Claiming for judging.
feos: Delaying until Playground rules are defined for hacks, because supporting overly obscure hacks is non-trivial.
feos: While I was able to find the patch that works with this movie, it doesn't meet Movie Rules on unofficial games, because unlike in the FDS version of this game, beating the 4th room of the unnumbered world in this hack does not complete the game. It only completes that room and the game then locks at the black screen.
This is only 3 rooms more than what you can already access in the original game by entering the 1-2 warp pipe too early, and several worlds less than what you can normally play in the original. We can't say this hack adds unique content to the base game, it only allows accessing some glitched "content" that is already there, but there's nothing useful you can do with it even then.
Since the requirement of minimal playable quality and difference from the base game is shared between Movie Rules and Playground, I can't send this hack to Playground either. Rejecting.

Hi there. Sorry to ask this, but could you please hold off on any further submissions for the time being? The staff have been overloaded with transferring over to the new site, and the Judges in particular have a large backlog of submissions to process because of it, so it'd be wonderful if you could be patient here and refrain from submitting further runs until our workload clears up more. Thank you in advance!

There's already a minus world run. See: https://tasvideos.org/1365M The other minus world run is slightly faster (after adjusting for FDS loading time), and also qualifies as a complete run.

These two runs are technically incomparable, since they go through a different set of levels.

HappyLee TASed the original NDS Minus World, but I TASed a rom hack in which placing a flagpole at the end of -3 using level editor, the hacker created messy levels. It's not even on FDS, it's a NES rom hack.

There are literally hundreds of Super Mario romhacks, many of which are (to laymen) indistinguishable from the original. What makes this particular romhack notable enough to publish?

Is there any kind of source/origin of this hack in the form of a patch file?
Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.

  1. The game in that video is sped up.
  2. The flagpole in the water level is in a different place.
  3. The -2 level ends differently.
  4. The -3 level is different.
  5. There's no link to a patch.
  6. There's no explanation how exactly to get the same results, only a mention of "a level editor".
This submission is not reproducible so far.
