Super Mario All-Stars: The Lost Levels

The Lost Levels is a remake of the game released in Japan as Super Mario Bros 2. It introduces a number of new obstacles into the standard Super Mario Bros. formula, including poisonous mushrooms, wind, reverse warp zones, and of course many tricky jumps. It's difficult enough that Nintendo of America decided to completely re-theme a different game and release that as Super Mario Bros. 2 instead; The Lost Levels is the first time the Japanese sequel was released to the rest of the world.

This TAS uses Mario's brother Luigi. He jumps higher than Mario, but acts slower in many ways. However, the movie is in no way worse than the Mario version - some new creative solutions have been found.

This is a warpless version. For a warped one see [2210] FDS Super Mario Bros. 2 "warps, Luigi" by HappyLee & KFCMARIO in 08:13.77.

Watch a resync (to the USA verison) of this run being played back on a real console.

Super Mario All-Stars is a remake complication for the SNES of four Mario games that were originally for the NES or Famicom: Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario Bros. 3, and Super Mario Bros. 2 for the Famicom Disk System, retitled here as The Lost Levels. Each game has redone graphics and music while having the gameplay be as faithful to the originals as possible. It also adds a save feature, a level select feature for the older games, and made The Lost Levels less frustrating to play by adding a generous continue feature and reducing the requirements for unlocking additional worlds.

In this run, CyanBeast1 aims to reach and complete a specific level in The Lost Levels that cannot be reached through normal means: World B-M. This is done by exploiting bugs in the select screen and warp zones for World B where glitched levels outside of the proper ones can be selected. The game crashes after completing World B-M due to the memory being too corrupted to continue. For more info, you can read the author's notes.

Warning: The final level and the crash screen contain flashing screens which are not suitable for those with photosensitivity issues.
