I am both amazed, and disturbed.

that's gotta be fake..

Agreed - there's no way that's plausible! I spotted at least two occasions on the first couple of levels that would have resulted in a loss of a life!

This looks quite blatantly fake. He gets far too close to many enemies. And look at the Fighter level, he's jumping before the next platform can even be seen most of the time. Either it's been doctored or he's got some sort of Jedi pre-cog skills.

Now look at this clip - is it me or does he catch a canonball right in the gut?

Because you can't memorize the levels for some reason? Uh...

But yeah, I noticed he seemed to be running into a lot of enemies too.

Those Rocky Wrenches are pretty deadly, their wrenches will take you out if you get winth a few pixels of them. From what I've experienced of SMB3, he got way to close to them at least, if not the other enemies as well. Someone ought to show the video to Shigsy, see what he thinks.

But here's a thought - surely the big N wouldn't have designed the levels so you could run through them like that on purpose... would they?

If you knew where everything was in advance and had practiced the level many, many times... sure, why not. They're quite linear and don't change, you know.

I'm not saying it's impossible, I'm saying I've played a fair bit of Mario 3 and I wouldn't have expected to get that close to the bad guys and survive. I'm sure Meag will agree with me.

a lot of times you can move really fast and come too close to a enemy or weapon and still not die.

Ive went done it manny times.

no freakin' way.  at least not all in one sitting. i bet he used a save state feature on whatever ROM he used.

That's... not... real...

He couldn't have done that

Post by: Knight Templar on November 30, 2003, 12:53:29 pm
Meh, there were a couple instances in the world 8 tank levels where he should have died.

He also should have died later on in that level where a cannon shell hit him in the nose, but it died as if he stepped on it.

And the Bowser fight, he should have been hit in one part where Bowser is in the air higher than he is.

Still, it's not like it couldn't be done, just irking to see that it is. Especially after spending so many hours as a young lad trying to beat the game.

Open the movie up in Windows Movie Maker, wind it through to the frame you want and hit the 'save frame' button. Horrible little program but it has its uses.

It's not the time we're directly challenging.. I think. But more the parts where he should be dead many times over.
