Yup. Specifically, there are the two secret weapons (one in Sector 9, one in Sector X) the Ultimortal difficulty (unlocked by beating Extreme, and if I remember correctly this also unlocks Normal and Hard mode's postgame unlockables) and Sector Z, which houses the final weapon - the Null Driver. You can see the teleporter to Sector Z in this movie, in Sector 1. It's right beside the Supercharge, but you can't use it until you unlock all the posters. To actually get to the Null Driver, you need to get all the ribbons, to clear all ten Sudden Death Sectors in single sector play, wherein everything has 1 HP and 100 armor, and you need to have the game recognize that you know all four hidden skills. (Teching; which is done by hitting the use key right when you get damaged, Retribution; the attack this movie uses on Annihilator Iosa after getting knocked down, which can only be used once per sector, and isn't useful against Tor, Air braking, and the Nanofield Reboot; which this movie uses to reset their stats.) I wouldn't mind seeing a movie playing through reallyjoel's dad difficulty, either. You need Ultimortal unlocked (beat Extreme) and it's literally impossible, according to the website. You get two minutes to kill every Tasen in Sector 1, then end the level - however, the forcefield that kills you at the end, which is supposed to go away once you have 100% kills, doesn't. I'd like to see if that's true or not, but I'm not that good at the game.

Now we just need a movie that gets the poster in Sector Y.

This hack of Super Mario World. It doesn't change any of the levels, instead it changes the physics - the player is sent flying at top speed in whatever direction they face. Spin jumps are a useful way of staying in one spot, and with Yoshi there's a delay on turning around. Of course, in a TAS this would be much easier to control - the main issue would probably be the camera. This hack was made by a guy named GlitchMr, as a contest for a forum he used to run. Whoever got through all 96 exits legitimately first would get a custom user name colour. He edited a value in the save file so that people couldn't just import a previous SRAM and say they did it. I spent the better part of an evening doing this, since I fell in love with it as soon as I saw the title screen demo. It's ridiculously hard to control in realtime, though. One notable trick is that when you're big, you can clip through one tile high walls. It's like when you duck into a one tile high space and stand up, except it applies to the lower half of Mario. I don't have any other pearls of wisdom about this, though.

You probably intend to grab either Kaeli's second incarnation or Reuben and use her stats every chance you get. The game wouldn't have been completed, but the verification run would get quite close, having completed either half or 3/4 of the game. As for the spells, Life also heals every status effect in the game, and is a guaranteed full heal. This being a TAS, I don't expect you to ever have any status effect, but still. Cure's healing is a percentage based off your Magic stat (50%+some fraction(possibly 1/1)of Magic), and the percentage is split evenly between both characters when you heal both at the same time. The list of bosses Life can insta-kill is very, very small. The Minotaur, and Skullrus Rex, the first boss refight in the Doom Castle. I remember hearing somewhere that the Stone Golem can be killed with Exit, but I doubt that's actually true. For that guy who was wondering about moving across the sand so quickly, it takes the direction you're trying to move in into account - if you move with the sand, you go what looks like 2x to 2.5x as fast as regular walking. Otherwise, you waste time. I'm just trying to answer the questions which haven't been addressed. Use this knowledge as you will.

No, this is the broken link. The one I posted above is the correct one. Check the movies for Demo World. =\

Erm, it broke. It's not a problem here, it's a problem at Super Mario World Central - an ass by the name of ArBeWhat deleted all the hacks off the database, after hacking into an admin account, and we're working on re-uploading them. Change the link, please?
