Wow .. this game is insane!
I don't speak or read japanese, but I'm pretty sure that all that scrolling text is totally unnecessary. What does it say, in general? Comments about what's going on, or simply the guy saying "I'm japanese and I put all this scrolling text because I can and it's really really annoying"?
At the top it's disclaimers... he states when it was made, how many attempts it took... he says that he loves TASing, TASes are cool, and I think he was pretending people were watching and commenting with some comments that are just the japanese equivalent of "woooooooooooooooow" "cooooooooooooool" "delicious" and "amaaaaaaaaaaaaziiiiiiiiiiiing" and any time you see a "w" (or lots of w's) that's the equivalent of "lololol"
also lots of "___ get!"s
I wouldn't want to play that game, but it was a fun watch.

Agreed! But at least now I don't have to play this one since I've seen it. :P
In the case of this hack, minus 1 million points for the uncreative use of those stupid piranha plants over and over as a "don't enter this space" tile. But I did enjoy watching this run of a really bad hack. The placement of that keyhole is the second dumbest thing I have ever seen in a Mario hack. (The dumbest thing being what they did to Bowser.)
Why did Bowser's first stage only require one hit? Could it be a glitch? Because that seems like a really odd thing for this hack to alter, especially since 1-2-2 doesn't seem intentional. Given how dumb the rest of the hack is, if the change was intentional, I would've expected Bowser's HP to be 2-1-1 with the third stage not dropping any mechakoopas. Being able to carry a mechakoopa from round 2 to round 3 saves a bit time off the end of the movie.
Wow, seriously, I was hoping the scrolling text would end soon. But it kept going.... past the first level. Then I stopped watching. I'm sure it is an amazing TAS, but whoever added all the pointless text needs to be shot, for the good of the world's gene pool.
Sage advice from a friend of Jim: So put your tinfoil hat back in the closet, open your eyes to the truth, and realize that the government is in fact causing austismal cancer with it's 9/11 fluoride vaccinations of your water supply.
Wow, that's a substantial improvement, speed- and entertainment-wise.
It's still a little improvable (like 6:11 of part 1, for example), and I don't know why he goes all the way to Bonus Special Stage (especially in the first version since he didn't get the cape), but whatever. At least the cape is good for the end of Hell Or Heaven and all of (my japanese sucks so I'm guessing on this stage name) Better Ultra.
Also swimming to the beat of the music is nice.
Haha! May that be a rule of the forums now! "Whenever someone refers to watermarking our videos to make them steal-proof, link them to this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMb9cZmWHeg"
Brilliant idea, JXQ :)
There was a similar level in Super Carlos World (made by Chef Stef or some of his buddies) that made this effect look even better. Imagine this, except you are under water :D. I posted an SMV back in the old hack topic while it was pooped on by funguy10.
As for this hack... Looks too hard to hold my entertainment, although it was nice to see another super scrolling level.
