This guy beat it in 11 minutes!

:!:

[junahu]

With wistles I bet. Couldn't play the movie but I bet he used wistles. But that'd mean he completed 2 worlds in 11 minutes. That's a minimum of 14 levels. 47 seconds per level AND 4 of them are scrolling levels... Cheat

[junahu]

... But noone can beat my ghost on the 7th level in super mario bros deluxe time trial. Ran left to right without stopping once. Can't remember what time I got though (possibly 362 but I can't remember)

[fester8542]

Holy hell.

That was sick. I only watched for about two minutes but I was in awe over the players ability to know precisely when and where to jump in every level to basicall never touch the ground and friggin fly through them.

[eilsoe]

g33ks...

[SureShot]

I am downloading the vid now...

as a video game junkie - this is going to be cool to see.


You guys remember when the movie "the Wizard" came out... and super mario 3 was shown for the first time? What an amazing memory that is :) and dont even get me started on the Power Glove!

[SureShot]

Ok man I just watched the enitre thing.

That was sick. Like the sickest thing I have ever seen in the world... my god. I honestly would never have belived that if I hadnt seen it for myself.


Crazy.... just crazy :crazy:

[sintax321]

That is the most amazing thing i have ever seen done in a video game. THe fact he knows exactly where to jump every time. He picks up like 85 lives going threw the tank and the ship on world 8. Never have i seen game play like that.

[claudio]

Holy sh!t, after that i feel like a retard playing mario. :P :P

[Jubba]

wow...

[APDesign]

that was truly incredible....

[SureShot]

It was like a car accident, I just could look away...

[prstudio]

Oh my goodness...someone please lift my jaw, cause its still dropped.

[kirupa]

Wow - just watched the entire video. That is impressive :eye:

[Alex]

wow...

that was amazing...

[mlk]

**** i never was able to have the 99 lives maximum status...

he's goooooooood. (especially with those friggin square controlers the first NES had... sweet memories =))

[fester8542]

God I miss that thing.

Soo many great hours wasted in front my my black and white television as a kid

[SureShot]

I tell you - that's one Christmas I will never forget... getting the NES was amazing!

We were one of the last kids in our neighbourhood to get it because the single mom / no cash combo - but when we did it was honestly the best Christmas ever. I was so happy :)

My bro and I had to go to my grandpartents right after opening gifts because my mom worked on christmas day and then would come over for the family dinner when she was done. I brought the manual with me for the system and the games that came with it and drew pictures of it all day.... hahahaha :)

Funny how some memories just stick out in your head. I can see it like it was yesterday!

[thoriphes]

I remember getting mine second-hand. I was the happiest kid alive. Some of the games I had were Mario's 1 and 3, Contra, the original Rygar, Track and Field, Excitebike(!), and some others. I also have Duckhunt and that gun you use for it. I'm bringing it back down to college with me. :)

anyone remember having to blow on the cartridges to get them working? (-:

[Mik3]

I watched that three times, he doesn't cheat (he does beat some levels special ways so that he skips,) he's just really good!

Wowee

[nobody]

Yeah they are awesome. I love my snes, it's the best thing ever. I have gamecube, ps2, pc, and snes.. and snes is by far the best system ever. I love it like it's my child.

Wowee what gets me is how he passes through those sublevels in level 8 where the hand grabs you down. I dunno how he was able to skip all those without worrying about getting dragged down.

Right now i'm working on a record time for beating Mario 1.

hey quinn two more posts and you break the 4 K mark....congrats

it would be hard for me to believe that he didn't try multiple levels more than once and then just edit the best runs together.. for him to not make one mistake the entire time seems fairly impossible. And it doesn't make it any less amazing to me.

And it doesn't make it any less amazing to me. :P I was suspecting that as well. But judging by how swiftly he went through the levels, i'm still amazed at his ability with this game.

[fester8542]

Well even if he did do that, having the runs that he does have are amazing.

The one level where he (she?) baggs like 70 lives in one level was just incredible.

[thoriphes]

Now for all you Metroid Prime (GC) players out there, this person beat the game with 100% in under 2 hours. Watch the movies, they're also amazing.

...or not ;)

Quinn - Are you sersious about the MP player? If so, I think we should find out who these people are and make sure they dont work for the company that builds these darn things because that would take entirely too much time to do it on your own!

[RenaissanceGirl]

Amazing. I love the diamond-like precision with jumping on those canonballs consecutively and scoring all those extra lives! Aww... this makes me want to dig up my old Nintendo...

[Mik3]

i like how he kills the bosses

Having played some of the game and watching the movies on that site, i can say I believe he beat it in that time. :)

[BadMagick]

My life feels cheapened after watching that. I feel like my few short years on earth have been wasted....

I'm sending that link to everyone I know!

[junahu]

The mario 3 link no worky anymore. I wanna see! I wanna see!

[Jubba]

Link Removed. It killed my bandwidth :) :sigh:

I beat the hell out of that controller just doing the x-meter dashes, and pulling back that arrow in the archery games, whew!

[mdipi]

holy crap! i got htis game for my mac, gonna play it now :D

[pom]

By the way, I've just watched that video, and it can't be true. NObody can be that good... unless he's the One

:cool: <-- is that Neo or Morpheus?

[junahu]

I never new you could use two wistles to get to world eight from world one. And I was right. They DID use wistles. Amazing how they grab a raccoon leaf at full speed so they can fly straight away. And I like the way they duck on the third level's white platform for the exact amount of time it takes for the background swap thing to occur. I also like the fact that they used the nes version instead of the snes or GBA update.

(Swoon over)

[SureShot]

The new (old) version of this game for the Gameboy Advance SP is awesome! I love being able to play SMB3 on the portable with the updated graphics of SMB All-Stars from the SNES - much imporved look but the same old amazing levels and game!

[thoriphes]

I think they made the GBA version easier than the original (NES) :-\

[SureShot]

You think so? I find them to be right on par actually... Maybe I just suck more now ;)

Ah well, either way it's so much fun playing the old school games where ever I want, when ever I want :)

[Coppertop]

Funny you should mention this - a guy on my bus came into my english class, and played it for us. Our teacher kept commenting on how amazing the guy was and how precise his movements were - and I agree!

I either figured this out, or was shown by a friend back in the day, but I knew it could be done... quite clever short cut though, most people think you have to get the whistle in the second zone along with the first two to get to the 8th zone.

[lostinbeta]

Bah! The links are dead (the original and Jubbas)!!!!!!!!!

:(

[thoriphes]

This link should stay up for a while.

[norie]

This guy has become pretty darn famous; funny though, no one really knows his name, or cares by that matter. He's just the guy who beat Mario Bros--in what 11 mins?!:mario:

[junahu]

What about the fastest time completing ALL the levels. Someone had to do it. They didn't add 6 worlds between 1 and 8 just to make the wistles worth collecting.

Well it the end of the movie it says: "Played by morimoto" so I guess that's either his nickname or his real name... as far as I know it doesn't mean anything in Japanese...

[lostinbeta]

Thanks Quinn (or whatever you're calling yourself these days ;)), worked like a charm! :thumb:

I had my doubts :-\

[BadMagick]

Way to uncover the truth man! I thought it was fake myself ...

I must say though, a part of me wanted it to be true. I wanted to believe, that somewhere out there, there was someone who could do that. Someone who wasted away countless hours of their lives to perfect one of the greatest games in history. That somewhere out there was a true hero of the gaming world. A man who would be lifted up above all as THE MAN....

But I guess it was all just me getting my hopes up

[junahu]

The fact he went through all that trouble frame by frame is even more amazing. And actually calculating the best way to go through a level would have been excrutiatingly laborious. I don't think he's all that much a phoney since he saved potential record breakers the issue of having to figure out how to get through the game best.

... though catching a leaf and flying instantaneously with it looked impossible to me...

[APDesign]

its not like anything he did is actually IMPOSSIBLE to do though, he just had to try stuff like catching the leaf and flying tons of times before he actually got it right.

[SureShot]

wow - either way it was an amazing video.

Kind of makes me sad though - I wanted it to be real :( Ah well...

[junahu]

Like santa. WAAAAAAAHHH!

[senocular]

can someone send me the video? (or send me a secret link) I can throw it up on my college's site and we dont have any bandwidth restrictions

[GreenLantern]

Yes, I would like to see it. Even though it is fake, that way I could tell people that don't know it's not fake that I did it.

[prstudio]

sen check your pm

[mdipi]

wait can someone tell me waht the tread said? i know its fake but i want to see what it said anyway.

[thoriphes]

Looky here for the original SMB3 video as well as other NES games he's beaten in record time. This guy is the epitome of all mankind who have too much time on their hands...

http://bisqwit.iki.fi/jutut/nesvideos.html

...there's also a full explanation on how he actually plays these games...

[GreenLantern]

I thought we came to the conclusion that this was faked?

[thoriphes]

yes it is, and this site tells you how it was really done. I meant fake as in it wasn't done by an actual person in one sitting.

[sintax321]

is there any way to watch these videos with out installing bittorent or what ever it is? I really want to see them.

[thoriphes]

You can install Shareaza which does torrent files if you don't want to install bittorrent.

[splict]

That was really cool. Shooting fireballs that fast looked a bit impossible to me, but then I read the thread before I watched it, so... :(

I remember when SMB3 first came out, we all went to my friends house down the street (like 6 of us) and watched him play through the whole thing - for three hours :)

Anyways, http://media.ebaumsworld.com/index.php?e=moSMB3.wmv

[sintax321]

I've seen the SMB3 vid i want to see the others they have done.

[macneilslt]

Eeee, OOOO, ahhhhh, wow. intense game play, i wish i still had my NES...

[GreenLantern]

That is insane. Thanks for that file. I had about ten people gathered around my computer watching it.

[DryCow]

Why doesn't he get all three end of the level stars... instead it looks like he goofs up and gets a mushroom or something instead? ... maybe to save time? Looks like a mistake though.

If you get 3 matching icons it goes into that big fireworks sequance that takes like 30 secs to get threw and you can't skip it. It is most definatly a time saving move.
