yeah... but at least i can prove i wasn't looking haha. EDIT: a lot of the time i didn't know where i was, but realized in like a few seconds just by what i hit or whatever. at the pirahna plants i was soooo lucky... too bad i didn't know i was there.

That went relly well :) I remember trying that once, but I don't remember how well I did.

Well done!
TASing or playing back a DOS game? Make sure your files match the archive at RGB Classic Games.

so i just tried that walkathon thing with mario... i got to level 8-4 without using the B button! i think the only place you actually need to walljump is level 8-4 right before bowser.

Yep, that's how far I managed, though jumping off the goomba to cross the pit in 8-1 was pretty tough too. Now, Mario 3, you're in for a lot of trouble there if you don't use B. No items, no warps, no fireballs or flying or anything fun. Most importantly, you can't grab shells or tailwhip, so there'd be no way past the pyramid in world 2.
I like my "thank you"s in monetary form.

you just need 1 walljump, i think i could beat the game... i mean it's ONE walljump. i can do them quite often... but thats when i press the B button... so i dont know.

So, did you try to memorize things or just, literally, play it by ear?

memorization of exverything in the level. obviously the sound helped me determine how far into the level i was as well as if i hit enemies and the length of my jumps.
