This would be interesting to see if there are any new glitches that were introduced... http://kotaku.com/5578821/super-mario-bros-finally-faithfully-ported-to-sega-genesis

Doesn't seem to be, so far. I don't think it's done at the moment, so I wouldn't expect any TAS to be published just yet, but it might be interesting to see an accomplished SMB TAS'er tackle an informal run of it, to see if the more esoteric and frame-exact tricks are present (so far, the simple ones work, hatstomping, jumping from a powerup, and one time I was able to walljump in realtime). Cheep-cheep behavior in 2-3/7-3 is a little off (their vertical speed seems to slowly oscillate), and there is an issue in some places (notable 5-4 and 6-4) where parts of the firebars disappear.

I tried to TAS this, even before I saw this topic. I arrived to 4-2 but I couldn't replicate The Vine Glitch (the pipe brought me to the regular place). But that's because I am not good at TASing. I hope someone else can do it!

I know the similar glitch in 8-4, where you backtrack slightly and enter the pipe instead of jumping the pit and entering the other pipe, works just fine. I'm doing a full warpless non-assisted run, unsure if I should post the links here, it's 42:44 total and segments 3, 4, and 5 are uploading as I write this.

Post the links. I'd be interested. Edit: Using the power of the internet, I have found you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CikUGpUpj-A

I think it would be pretty cool to see a concept of this made as a TAS run. There's just one thing I really don't like about the port: the music sounds pretty strange. I'm sure the music could have taken full advantage of the Genesis's music capability.
