I do like Derakon's suggested publication text better than the current one. I played the game after I replied to Judge Ito's comment and I don't think the text describes it accurately either.

I just wanted to point out that this write-up for the game is atrocious and misinformed. It's that bad.
The Lost Levels is the remake of the game released in Japan as Super Mario Bros 2; it is an exercise in Fake Difficulty, containing very difficult jumps, many enemies, problematic terrain, poisonous mushrooms, and, at worst, koopa jumps over walls or across pits. Most of it is senseless rehashing of elements in places where they don't belong (like amateur hacks). It's so difficult to beat that Nintendo of America released a wholly different game given a Mario theme as Super Mario Bros 2.
Of all the games in Super Mario All-Stars, it's the only one in the set that saves your progress at individual levels rather than the start of worlds. It's that bad.

You forgot to drink two glasses of juice while attacking with TWICE the JUICE!!!1
In fact, we should ban everyone who doesn't attack with TWICE the JUICE!!!11 And then make it a site rule. And then follow it religiously. Because rules are rules.

There's that humor again.
I find it funny that RingRush managed to deceive everyone, even Dooty (the judge). Maybe we need to stop trusting April Fool's Day submissions, even though there are some that have been serious, high quality runs like the Donkey Kong Country submission last year.

Ringrush should be banned for the irreparable damage he has done to this site's honor.
Well, at least he cancelled it. It could've been published before RingRush cancelled the run; then it would be a mess. I'd say, let RingRush go this time, but make "cheating" like this a bannable offence from now on.
Rog is joking. He's referencing someone else's post (don't remember who, there were a lot of posts in that thread) from the latest OoT MST run's thread.

I suppose making a "TAS" at 15% speed wouldn't be a good idea anyway, since it would probably look too similar to the fastest real-time speedrun. An optimized TAS of this game would have frame savings everywhere and look quite different from the real-time run.

Entertaining both to watch normally and to count the presses. Excellent job, Brandon! This will be a great first "minimum buttons pressed" publication (once the improvements are put in).
YES vote.

Also, DarkKobold mentions that there's apparently been 3 fraudulent yes votes on this submission. I want to make it clear that I had nothing to do with this. I didn't even vote on it. Whoever did in fact do this should know that this does not in any way help the submission. Don't do this again.
What exactly is a "fraudulent yes vote"? Does that mean someone made a script or three additional accounts to vote Yes three times?

i'm thinking of having a test around with Dolphin. Obviously I'm just going to do one of the to as a straight out any% I will try and muck around with 2nd player support.
Wii Remote recording doesn't work, but you might still be able to make a test run using the natural slow speed of Dolphin (savestates will desync the movie).

Well, 5 minutes doesn't sound like enough time, though it would depend on how far into the game the savegame deuxhero mentioned is. Actually, I don't think any of the Brawl masterpieces can be completed in the time limit (even Super Mario World, which I think only lasts for 2 minutes [about 30 seconds too short]).

I said that, because TAS jokes are only in 1st April
Joke submissions are usually only on April 1st, but they can be submitted at any time in the year. For example, last year, Aqfaq submitted a bunch of joke TASes which would never be published, like one of a quiz game and one that skipped to the end of a fighting game with a password.

Very nice TAS. I'm glad you were able to finish it even though the Consolation Team Contest didn't work out. I watched the whole run, and I like it better than the Arkanoid TAS. Yes vote!
There are Space Pirates in this game!

I think it's the same game in every Windows version it was included in (all of the NT operating systems), so 2000, XP, Vista, and 7.
I would like to see a TAS of this too. I played it a lot years ago on my Windows 2000 computer.

OK, finally finished those annoying English 102 projects. Returning to the run, I'm sick of trying to optimize the jumping up to Kroop's door. I've been testing it for an hour (added to a half hour of testing before my long "break") and I don't think I can improve it.
I'm going to continue the run now, though I can't give an estimate of when it will be done.

(02:32:24) (Swordless) I'm glad we have a whois master here to figure these things out
From what I've gathered from this and other posts, I take it there was an impostor on IRC. Who was he impersonating?
