Of course, Rridgway was Mini Mario, who isn't faster, he just makes it possible to jump over the stairs in one jump.
Anyone know exactly how the physics of this game work? I have the impression that he does something similar to a P-dash, but I'm not sure if he loses it while jumping.

I've done a little experimenting, looking for glitches such as zipping. Nothing yet. It doesn't work to walk into a wall and turn around (dang!). Dashing into a wall won't work. I'm not sure about what happens with enemies. With those spear guys, I know they can't drive you into a wall from a distance but if you're right next to the wall maybe they can.

Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction would be an interesting TAS. It's my favorite shooter game ever. If you captured just a few people alive, then it would be enough intel to get the Ace missions.

I AM SO KICKING MYSELF!!!!!!!!!!
I searched google for Chamale. Of the first 5 results, there was a guatemalan wrestler, my ICP profile, 2 of my TASes, and Beau Chamale's blog. Apparently Chamale is a last name.
Then result number six... Is for a place in Slidell, Louisiana called Chamale Cove. What's wrong with that?
I WAS IN SLIDELL A WEEK AGO!!!
I won't go until either next year or the year after that.

Anthrax, tax, fax, wax, lax, h4x, ax.
I often annoy my sister by speaking almost entirely in abbreviations (not like Ess-En-Ee-Ess but SNES, for example).

Dang... My revised theory is now that Birdo is hit and dies, but respawns anyway. But maybe it's possible to ride the Shyguys to the Birdo stage. Better yet, maybe there's a vine glitch to get to the Birdo stage.

I'm gonna use Sound Studio to record those sounds and see for myself...
Is there any sort of byte in the game that goes from 0 (Wart is not defeated) to 1 (Wart is defeated)?
In the meantime, I'm going to keep looking for what I was looking for in the first place: A glitch, similar to the glitch used later in the level to go to the Birdo stage, but that is used early in the level on the first vine.
If my theory is correct, I'll pop up in Wart's domain.

Well, I haven't managed to make his corpse fall from the sky, but forensically, there's something basically proof. I watched the no-warps run, and the only thing that could make that sound would be wart dying almost instantly. No other boss makes that sound 4 times.

If I submitted it, would it count? There's not really a reason not to, it's very much like what Phil did with FDS SMB1.
As near as I can figure out, this is what happens:
1. The red ShyGuy bounces, so his velocity is upward.
2. The pink shyguy hits him, and the game gets confused and sets both of them to a consistent velocity because it knows one of them should be going up.
3. Picking up the Shyguy makes the game think he should go down, and he steadily goes down.
4. Throwing him makes them resume what they were doing, so they go up again.
5. When the Shyguys go above what is programmed, they go to the last area of the level before. As there is no level before, they go to 7-2, where they pop up under Wart.
6. Wart acts like any other enemy when hit by Shyguys, as he has no programming specifically to deal with it. The shyguys act like the rocks when you run into Clawgrip and die in 5-3. They bounce off him over and over because they have no sideways motion.

Sorry, Phil. I discovered THE ULTIMATE GLITCH!!!! I defeat Wart in 19 seconds, with no warps. So, I suppose that means I win. I'll get up a video very soon (right now).
EDIT: http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/4963/Super%20Mario%202%20%28US%29%20Chamale.fcm
It's a lot like Phil's video of SMB1 (FDS), that goes through the Minus World to win despite not being formally declared winner.

P.S. ask chamale about his robbieisms
Chamale, what is it like to have your image being constantly tarnished by association? Furthermore, am I correct to assume that your mother is not a living organism because she died in a hideous car accident 2 years ago? If so, RRRRidgerrracerrrr is a terrible person to joke about it.
You think this is bad? One time in science class, we were dissecting lilies, and he tried to impregnate one of them by rubbing the stamen of one against the pistil of another. When it didn't work, he threw it down the sink.
No, my mon isn't dead. It was one of the common "your mom" jokes, said to someone else whose mom was dead.
I was making a list of "Robbieisms" (RRidgway's first name), but he ripped up the list. IIRC:
"Haggisness"
"Homelessnesslessnesslessnesslessnesslessnesses"
In response to "One door closes, another opens"
"What if the door supposed to open is locked?"
More coming later.

The problem is, my parents hate windows so much they won't even use Bootcamp to run it. That's the thing. Also, I think Snes9x can run the videos from this site on it.
