Well here is SMB2j played with the doped, punked, green haired called Luigi.
It's true that he can jump higher than Mario but due to side effects of drugs that caused him some lung problems, he can't run as fast as Mario and he has some trouble to brake as quickly as Mario due to being mentally slow. In other words, it's pointless playing with him.
Anyway, if it was played with Mario, I think it will be 3 seconds ahead Bisqwit by using some shortcuts but instead, it seems to be 9 seconds slower. I am somewhat disappointed about how the programmers have made bullshit with this character.
Btw, the left+right boost isn't working as well as the reverse jump boost(Pom's discovery in SMB1).
At least, since it's pretty well played and show some great skill and glitches, it is supposed to pleased you eyes ;).
Shortcuts used.
  • Passed through walls instead of waiting.
  • Doesn't wait in the water section at 8-4 by letting the screen to stop scrolling. That makes Luigi to pass.
  • At stage 5-1, had rebounded on Koopa Troopa to makes Luigi fall on the ceiling instead of using the wall jump tricks.

Can you elaborate on these shortcuts? Edit: watched the movie. Copypaste from IRC channel... 1847#nesvideos@Bisqwit Hey... unfair. You shouldn't be doing those wall tricks so easily :( 1848#nesvideos@PhilCote :) 1849#nesvideos@Bisqwit Hmm... you jumped in one shot in 5-1 1849#nesvideos@Bisqwit But you had to brake. 1850#nesvideos@Bisqwit You could have avoided that by not killing the turtles earlier 1850#nesvideos@Bisqwit It affects the later turtles' position 1850#nesvideos@PhilCote True and false. The random was worse by not killing it. 1851#nesvideos.TNSe is it smb2u or smb2j 1851#nesvideos@Bisqwit FDS 1851#nesvideos.TNSe bah, can't watch that 1851#nesvideos@PhilCote cool 1851#nesvideos@Bisqwit Well done in the vine in 8-2 1851#nesvideos@Bisqwit Even better than mine, it seems 1852#nesvideos@PhilCote Yes 1852#nesvideos@Bisqwit So what made it 9 seconds slower? 1853#nesvideos@PhilCote No boost tricks, STatrt running a lot slower. 1853#nesvideos@PhilCote start In any case, consider this movie already accepted.

A definitive yes, although the style is quite similar to bisqwit's, not that it hurts, though.

I just watched this and the Mario run side by side to try and figure out why Luigi is slower. Here's what I noticed: 1) Luigi doesn't do the backwards jump at the beginning. I'm guessing this is because his jump is so high that it ends up being slower. 2) Luigi seems to somehow take longer to bring the flag down, but I can't think of a good reason. Is this right? It was neat watching both at the same time, though after not very long, I would forget which one is Luigi, since he puts on his Mario costume after getting fire power.

In other words, it's pointless playing with him. I'm deeply offended.

The question is: is it pointless for him to play with himself? </bomf>

Normally, we don't include the system in the subtitles, but I'm willing to let it slide here. I feel you primarily included it in order to distinguish from the Western version of Super Mario Bros. 2 (known as Super Mario USA in Japan). On a different note, you missed "warps" in the filename, so I'm just gonna include that on my end, cause it's honestly good to go other than the nitpick. Just make sure to not do it in the future.
