Hopefully someone can get a sub 5 minute video. Michael would know more than I would if that's possible with all of the glitches used now. I don't know a whole lot about creating these videos, but I'd assume Michael would be able to pump this out somewhat fast seeing how he only needs to change a few things and the length of time he's worked on SMB in the past.

ALRIGHTEE! If the battle is on and there was a lot of sloppiness, shall we take some bets on how fast this NEW run will be? Remember though, no one predicted Arc coulda nailed his new Metroid run 41 seconds faster.. closest was what... 17? So keep in mind, this is gonna get groovy. :) I predict a final time of 4:56 myself. But this is essentially pushing everything beyond belief... I'm probably so off it isn't even funny, but then again... ;) I'm putting faith in this "TOP SECRET". Mr. Kelly R. Flewin

IMO the fact that he didn't collect all coins made the video even better. For example in 8-1 he jumps under the coins but over the large pits. This to me expresses way more skill to me than just jumping higher and collecting the coins. My vote is yes.

4:56 is stretching it too far I think. Personally, I'm looking toward either 4:59 or 5:00.

I just hope it can be done in under an hour.

What you mean by "it"? It's a 5 min vid.

I liked that Mana hit the 1-up in 4-1, even though you can collect 2 coins there instead. I think it adds a little variety to an otherwise boring level. You might think about doing the same.

Maybe he means the creation of the run. If he means the run itself, then he just HAS to be joking.

I voted YES on this run because it was awesome to watch. How ever I can't wait until the improved version are out there.

Wow... improved SMB? Awesome! I'm going to wait for the AVI though...

I'd like an avi as well.

If the battle is on and there was a lot of sloppiness, shall we take some bets on how fast this NEW run will be? Yesterday I did the first two levels in my video, and I'll start working on it again soon. Luckily I didn't get any homework today so I'll probably get a lot done. I'll be able to tell you exactly how fast it will be when I'm done with 4-2 because I don't know of any ways to improve 8-1 to 8-4, so I can just check how much ahead of my old movie I am after 4-2 and subtract that from 5:03.73. As for predictions, I'll guess my run will be about a second faster than Mana's.

I hope you realize that Mana's movie, if it will be handled, is the 5:01.27 long version mentioned earlier in this thread. You're competing against that, not the one with a long intro screen wait.

I know that, when I said 1 second faster I was including the delays that you already took out, so I'm expecting it to be somewhere in the low 5:00s, maybe even 4:59 if I'm lucky. Anyway, I just finished 4-1, so I just need to do one more level and then I'll know for sure how long it'll be.

Good luck.

Indeed. Below 5:00 would be amazing, to say the least. ^^

I upgraded this topic / submission to have the 5:01 version of the movie. In the process, the votes were lost. Doesn't matter. :)

As for the entertainment value of this movie (regarding coins and such), I don't think we should go too mechanical about it. This movie aims for fast time and it gets it.
