The goal of this TAS is to complete the game as fast as possible, using the cheat code 'TEYIUT', which is a cheat code that allows you to press down to go in a pipe, but from any point on the ground. This TAS beats the game in 3:40.75. Setup: in the emulator, go to 'Tools', then 'Cheats...' and add the code 'TEYIUT'.

eien86: Uploading proper movie provided by the author

eien86: This movie finishes the game as fast as possible by making use of the 'TEYIUT' game genie code that allows Mario to go down a pipe (as long as one is defined) from anywhere in the screen by simply pressing down. This allows the author to very quickly skip some parts of the level. The experience is different enough from the normal play to warrant publication.

The execution looks pretty polished, although I wonder if there's a way to fully prevent the frameworks.

The use of external codes is acceptable under the Alternative category. Although it would be better to have a proper (documented) romhack that implements this code as a patch, there's nothing preventing us from accepting this since it's pretty simple to input the code in FCEUX 2.6.5. There is even jurisprudence of this being acceptable.

Very nice first submission, Zohaf! Accepting to Alternative "TEYIUT code"

eien86: Putting back to judging, as some discussion had sparked regarding the categorization of this movie. Will post a question in the topic later.

eien86: waiting for the author's response to this question regarding the effects of the game genie code.

eien86: the question above was answered, but we'd still appreciate more community feedback on the question of acceptability

eien86: unclaiming to allow a senior judge handle this landmark case
