Gonna have to vote meh for this run; sorry, mate. While I have no doubt that this run is perfectly played, I kind of liked your old version better when Mario gets to kick ass with the more powerful weapons. Good work anyway spezz!

Errr...I think you don't understand what I meant by "self-inflicted damage." It's a glitch where Mouse Widget presses L/R (I think it's only in the air) and he takes damage without hitting an enemy. You know it works when the sprite suddenly doesn't line up.

Alright, I'm actually gonna PLAN each level this time! SHOCK HORROR!
I'll be posting "snapshot runs" of the remaining four levels to this thread for critique and refinement.
EDIT: I think it's possible to skip Rockman Widget for the one time I need him in Dr. Dante's level, but it probably wouldn't matter anyway and I think it's slower than actually using DD. I'll post a WIP once I get it down.

...as in, those who "ship" for romantic relationships between fictional characters. This thread's purpose is to post the oddity of shippers in every are of fanboyland.
Here are some weird categories and ships that I've seen in the past:
Peculiar Harry Potter shippers - Lupin/Kingsley, Sirius/Snape, Hermione/Ginny, Hermione/Grawp, Ron/Ginny, Harry/Snape.
Peculiar Legend of Zelda shippers - Link/Navi, Link/Young Maku Tree
I will post more later. Hope everyone else does too.
EDIT: Just found a Harry/Snape shipper. Disgusting.

Alright, so here are my new boss strategies:
Mega Slank - same as in CAD's WIP, could do without the flubbed shot at the end.
Flim-Flam - luck manipulate and get two shots off each time
Bizarre Brain - luck manipulate to destroy him ASAP; this is gonna be fucking HARD!
Dr. Dante - not sure if he can be manipulated to turn vulnerable early, cause he does that whole "hands up" animation beforehand. If anyone has theories on how he can be manipulated to turn vulnerable early please let me know.
Ratchet - manipulate so he always turns up at the same spot or, to make it more entertaining, on the same level.
If anyone has any theories on luck manipulation in the BB, DD and Ratchet fights please let me know! Quickly!
And also, quick question on your LAWL SHORTCUT - is it important that you press left/right/A simultaneously? Can it be done without pressing A?

Nice!
So, route-wise, I don't think anything's gonna change. The game has to be completed in the order of 1-4-2-3-5 to get the proper widgets in order and be able to bypass certain levels (unless CAD can find a water skip for bypassing Dolphin Widget, which is unlikely). The main changes will be in level strategy thanks to all the tricks CAD found.
Just out of interest CAD, how did you find these tricks? Debugging?

This thread will mainly be for discussing Widget glitches and such. Since my first version of the run got rejected, hopefully my next version will fare better.
Thanks already to CAD and such for helping out with some glitches. If you guys find any more let me know....
[EDIT by Bisqwit: Merged into the existing thread. There is really no need to start a new thread for the same game.]

I'll address these issues for my next version of the run.
Good question. I think it has to do with a randomness factor. I had to manipulate luck so the the boss was where I needed it to be, and I think as a player you're not supposed to be able to hit the boss most of the time. It just shows you how hard this game is ;)

There were two flubbed shots in the run I was going to hex edit out, but every time I tried to do so the FCM went wonky on me and desynched with some hilarious results. So it'll stay that way until my next version comes out :(

I think Mouse Widget can move quite quickly. Unfortunately the left/right warping only works in one-screenful rooms or right when a screen/level ends. So yes, I think the pace does pick up.

I've decided to stick with this one because it's so glitchy and has so much potential. You may be surprised what you'll find in my imperfect but entertaining WIP demonstration.

Using a bad dump of Mario Bros I somehow found myself in World 0-1, a weird level indeed. Here's a playthrough meant as a demonstration; it's not supposed to be a fully-fledged perfect TAS, and it's quite sloppy.
Anyway, discuss this level as a potential for a hack/concept demo TAS by someone else who can actually TAS Mario properly.

Since top 10 lists are all the rage nowadays, I thought TASvideos should get some as well.
My list would be (in no particular order): nitsuja, FinalFighter, Walker Boh, JXQ, Phil, Genisto, Bisqwit, spezzafer, AngerFist and adelikat.
Honourable mentions: Sprint, BOMF, Saturn, slash_star_dash, Sami and Baxter.
Probably Bisqwit or someone could make a finalized list, since this is just my opinions. Make a case for yourself (or someone else) in this thread!
