User Files for Super Mario Bros.

I'll just leave it here just in case and join the infamous list of SMB movie uploaders.

Movie goals:

• Emulator used: FCEUX 2.2.3
• 2 players input
• A few glitches are in the movie to save time
• Uses warps
• Heavy luck manipulation

• 4 frames in first room
• 1 frame in turnaround room

Cheats information:

• AISSON: walk trough walls

• TEYIUT: press down & you can warp at the near pipe of the level

• AEPLLG: you can jump in the air by pressing A

• 1 framerule saved in 4-2

• 1 in 1-3
• 1 in 5-4
• 1 in 7-2

• Framerule in 1-2
• Framerule in 4-4
• Several less lag frames

• framerule in 4-2
• framerule in 8-3
• some time in 8-4

• TAS by Kierio04, Kriller37, KingIceCream
• 1 framerule saved in 5-2, by accelerating instead of being pushed through the ground during the FFPG
• A few frames saved in 1-2, which allows for more room to add entertainment without losing a framerule
• 1 framerule can possibly (less likely) be saved in 3-3 with bullet firing manipulation to avoid having to exit underground
• 1 framerule can possibly (more likely) be saved in 5-1 with bullet firing manipulation to avoid the flag loading (saves 9 frames) combined with a new lift strategy (found by HappyLee)

• TAS by Kierio04, Kriller37, KingIceCream
• Spliced rerecords from old WIPs that had not been factored in (29026 from my WIP, 10804 from Kriller and KingIceCream's WIP, and 1169 from Kriller's WIP, and 342 from me)
• 1 framerule saved in 5-3
• If enemies can be manipulated better, then potentially 1 framerule save each in 3-3 and 5-1 possible

• TAS by Kierio04, Kriller37, KingIceCream
• 1 framerule saved in 1-1
• 1 framerule saved in 4-4 (I think, may have been a different level)
• 1 framerule lost in 5-3 (To anyone that can, help would be appreciated)

• over 13 seconds of time saved in 18 months
• by Kierio04, Kriller37, Maru, KingIceCream
• currently working on entertainment, so if someone there's a potential improvement lying around somewhere then let me know

goal

Quoting romhacking.net: Super Bill Kill is a simultaneous 2-player version of Super Mario Bros. in which the second player can turn enemies into Bullet Bills and target them at Mario. This ROM was originally designed for an offline tournament at AGDQ 2019. You can watch the final match of the tournament to see the ROM hack in action.

Attention! Read the section below before you ask!

Why do you use GIIIVY instead of AISSON?

AISSON has highly similar functions as GIIIVY, but I used GIIIVY because I have found it to be more common for me to use rather than AISSON.

Why do you use both codes in this run instead of just one of them?

It made completing the game much faster if I used both codes than just using one of them. I felt this would make things more exciting if I did so. And as a bonus, I did find ways of providing entertainment while using both codes.

Is this goal necessary?

Not really. I felt I wanted to do it for fun. But I also wanted to do it because there were too many runs using only one of the codes.

Is this publishable?

Absolutely!_{...not. (TASVideos almost doesn’t allow runs with cheats.)}

• It has a slight increase in difficulty from its original levels.
• It stars Bob and Steve as the protagonists rather than Mario and Luigi. They're on a quest to save their "bitch" (as the game implies after they save a toad) instead of their princess.
• Pretty much every overworld level has been set to the nighttime background (except for 3-1 to 3-3) to show how the hack is indeed gothic.

• get FPG in 6-2
• get a fire flower in 6-3 or 6-4 (6-3 preferred)
• resync the rest

• add entertainment
• save 1 or more frames in the first room
• save 1 or more frames in the walljump room
• save 1 or more frames in the turnaround room
• save 3 or more frames in the water room
• get a good Bowser on top of that.

Minimum time allowed: 10:09.903

• I'm too frustrated to do this.
• Also, please upload this to userfiles/WIP page (aka here) when done.

Here's the breakdown:

• 1-1 to 7-1, as far as I know, is unchanged.
• 7-2 drains a timeunit (270) and saves 12 frames, thanks to xy2
• Then I resynced the rest
• 7-3 saved 2 frames (somehow)
• 8-2 saved 21 frames due to faster BBG
• 8-4 water room lost two frames
• 8-4 boss room saved a frame

With all this, the TAS time is now 10:10.003

• so mad about this

What improvements are left?

• 4-2 has 5 frames
• 6-1 has 10 frames
• 6-4 has 1 frame
• 7-1 may have a framerule to save. BBG
• 8-4 has 1 frame in the first room, 1 frame in the walljump room, has 1-3 frames in the fish room, and 2-4 frames in the water room.

• v0 I have, but is lost to history
• v1 is on YT
• v2 is on YT, but the file is lost to history
• v3 s5564 is on YT, and on TASvideos as Submission 5564
• v4 is on YT, and here.
• v5 v5.1 as I call it is only on here
• v6 is on here, it's the one with dhxo uploaded 14 hours from when this goes up
• v7 is this one.

Improvements over v5.1:

• 1-1: 58 frames
• 1-2: 9 frames
• 4-2: 206 frames
• 7-2: -1 frame (lost a frame)
• 8-2 should have been 20-21 frames, but no, it's even.
• 8-4 room 2: 5 frames.
• 8-4 room 3: 3 frames.
• 8-4 last room: 2 frames.

Compared to s5564 (aka v3):

• 1-1: +14 frames (+14f) <-?!?!?! Well, I guess that's the slower timer. Rip.
• 1-2: -6 frames (+8f)
• 4-1: Even (+8f)
• 4-2: -188 frames (-180f)
• 6-1: -21 frames (-201f)
• 6-2: -21 frames (-222f)
• 6-3: Even (-222f) <-Wow! Expected another 21 frames here, but no!
• 6-4: +12 frames (-210f) <--hmmm.....
• 7-1: -21 frames (-231f)
• 7-2: +22 frames (-209f) <--Either we have some work to do here, or the firework here crosses a framerule, which means we have work to do here.
• 7-3: Even. (-209f) <-Interesting
• 7-4: +12 frames (-197f) <From this, and 6-4, I can safely deduce that there are no framerules in any castle. This is a very groundbreaking discovery.
• 8-1: Even. (-197f) < WHAT?!?!
• 8-2: -21 frames (-218f) <--probably the BBG.
• 8-3: +22 frames (-196f) <WHAT?!?!
• 8-4 Room 1: -1 frame (-197f)
• 8-4 Room 2: -9 frames (-206f)
• 8-4 Room 3: -10 frames (-216f) <--Wow, didn't know I saved that much.
• 8-4 Room 4: -7 frames (-223f)
• 8-4 Final Room: -39 frames (-262f) <Better Bowser.

What improvements can be made?

Aside from FF strats:

• 4-2 has 5 frames to save. I know this because I got a better time by 5 frames before dhxo uploaded his fm2.
• 6-1 then has 10 frames to save. That stems off this result.
• 6-3(?!?!) 1 framerule
• 7-1 BBG here would save a framerule.
• 7-2 Somebody, please get a 272, it'd save a framerule!
• 7-4 probably has something.
• 8-2 better BBG would save a framerule.
• 8-3(?!?!) has 1 framerule.
• 8-4 maybe a frame or two in the first room, and that's it.

• 1-1: 58 frames saved
• 1-2: 9 frames saved
• 4-2: Wrong Warp is huge 206 frames saved
• 7-2: 1 frame lost. We're so close (1 frame) short of 272.

PowerON-InputEnd in 10:15.24, or 36,975 frames.

From all this, here are the improvements level by level:

• 6-4: 1 framerule
• 7-1: 1 framerule
• 7-4: 1 framerule
• 8-2: 1 framerule
• 8-4: 19 frames
