General Info

  • Emulator: FEC Ultra 0.98.16
  • Aims for fastest time
  • Abuses programming errors
  • Uses warps
21 frames faster than the published movie due to the legendary flagpole-stuck glitch[1] in Stage 8-2.
This trick itself saved lots of frames, but it also took lots of frames to be performed[2].

Credits

Thanks to everyone who gave me informations on the flagpole-stuck glitch[1].

Notes

[1] Someone should give it a better name than this one.
[2] Otherwise this movie would be 126 frames faster.

Good find! I was wondering why Mario hung around the top of the blocks for a couple of seconds, then I noticed Bullet Bill making a beeline for the flag and it clicked... Yes from me.

I am really perplexed, I have the right rom (exact checksum match) and the same version of the emulator. It works for every other NES run available, what is different about this one? also strange, it seems to desync in 8-2, presumably about where he strayed from the last run. anyone got advice?
Do you have any Game Genie codes or other cheats on? They'll mess with movie playback if they change something that throws off timing... Did you change the "limit 8 sprites per scanline" setting? I dunno if it'll do anything to this particular run, but since not that many enemies are killed, the number of sprites on screen should pile up a bit faster than normal... Failing those two...what exactly does the desync look like on your end? Normally, I could see the few seconds where Mario stops at the top of the 8-2 stairs fooling someone into thinking that it's desynced, if they're not patient enough to wait it out...but in this case, it's really not that long of a delay...<_<'

Crazy ending to 8-2. Just awesome.
TASing or playing back a DOS game? Make sure your files match the archive at RGB Classic Games.

Thank you. I am not so interested in smb1 walkthons, but I think you made a great run and you should be proud of it.
<klmz> it reminds me of that people used to keep quoting adelikat's IRC statements in the old good days <adelikat> no doubt <adelikat> klmz, they still do

Not surprised that a youtube channel that strives on being provocative would fake something to get viral.

Yeah, it's known and is unfortunate. That channel does a lot of shady things, this wouldn't be the first time.
