+Armando Garza +Armando Garza No, Daisy is from the Marioland game (Game Boy) the princess of the NES and SNES has alaways been Peach (AKA Toadstool, she didn't go by the name Peach till the N64. The last game she was called Toadstool was Super Mario RPG. Well, in Noth America. In Japan she was always called Peach.)
The movie came out in 1993, Super Mario Land came out in 1989. Also the movie was a piece of shit. Daisy was the princess in Super Mario Land, that's the first time she ever appeared. The ending shows that. Also the instruction booklet for the game mentions that Mario Land takes place far away from the Mushroom Kingdom, in Sarasaland. And the final bad guy is not Bowser/Koopa but a guy called Tatanga. Basically the only thing in common between Super Mario Bros and Super Mario Land is that Mario is in it.
Took me a while to beat the game. I remember leaving my Nintendo on all night so I could show my friends that I beat it, because no one believed I was on the last stage in school.
@@shininggodmsbeyblader8284 Just thought maybe it would overheat and damage it's components but I guess it's like a computer and you can leave it on forever and it will be fine.
As long as they're pulled straight up, yes. Not too far up the street from me, little ole' Ms. Cagle was digging up sweet potatoes to make her famous pies. The last one she yanked up and to the side turned out to be a rocket. It plowed through eleven homes, two churches, and a strip mall before finally exploding at the base of the county fair's largest ferris wheel. I hope a mere 116 deaths doesn't keep Ms. Cagle from baking her pies. They're great!
Shoo-wee! I ain't ate some good pies since my uncle Cletus handicapped himself at that post-thanksgiving party in '42! Hmm... My stomach says pie but my night-stick says Ms. Cagle. Each one I taste is gonna get their own creampie anyway
@@nhlnms it's tool-assisted speedrun, meaning humans don't need to participate at all and the computer will find the best way to play the game. It's what I heard
@@henrynguyen9182 That sounds a bit more advanced, it can also just be having an emulator or some external hardware automatically make controller inputs according to a preprogrammed sequence, and since with an emulator or comparable hardware, you have full access to the game state (even RNG), and since a machine can make the inputs frame-perfect and/or do inputs you can't physically do on a controller, it's a good way to find out how low you can physically go with the time if you could do a perfect run with optimal inputs. Most of the time there is in fact a human at least supervising the process and who has the game state advance frame by frame while programming the inputs (you can also backtrack and edit any inputs you previously programmed if there is any room for optimization). TAS have their own merits, but of course runs done in real time in a single segment by humans are definitely more impressive, especially if they get really close to TAS times
I love how most mario players know that falling in pits kills you, so nintendo decided to make you start off falling downwards, giving you a heart attack
fudgecake11245 I think it was supposed to be their representation of falling asleep. Your idea is good too, but this wasn't even originally a Mario game. They took another Nintendo game called Doki Doki Panic, and rehashed it as SMB2 for Americans.
I know everything about the doki doki panic and the smb2 too hard for america, but still when I first played smb2 I literally panicked so hard when I just started falling, even knowing it wasnt a typical mario game. I do like that Idea of falling asleep tho c:
fudgecake11245 Yeah, to be honest I'm glad this became SMB2. I think this game is more fun than the Japanese version of SMB2. Also, thanks on the like. I think the ending of SMB2 tends to lend my idea a little credibility. :P
Bruh I remember when I was little playing this thinking the first level was like one third of the whole game and beating that pink dinosaur was a huge accomplishment
5:43 "Doesn't he know the shortcut is on the left? I don't get why he isn't taking it. Okay, he grabs a shy guy. What the hell does he plan on doing with that. WHAT THE FUCK I NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT"
Well, we all back in the day learned it by going underneath. I know this game all over the place, and do this in 7-2 all over the place, and I never thought to do it here either.
Xpl1k3R890 that's because the real mario 2 was not released outside of Japan until super Mario all Stars was released on nes. super Mario lost levels was originally super Mario 2 but Japan didn't release it out of country due to at the time absurd difficulty as well as it was very similar to the first. the super Mario 2 we got was a reskinned game originally called dokidoki panic.
This wasn't originally a Mario game at all, that's why. This was originally a game called Doki Doki Panic, and featured an Arabian family as the main characters. The actual, original Super Mario Bros. 2 was in the style of the original, but much, much harder. Nintendo figured that it would be too difficult for Western gamers, and decided to release DDP to the West instead, replacing the Arabian family with Mario Bros. characters. Nintendo would later release the original Super Mario Bros. 2 as The Lost Levels (albeit with updated graphics), bundled in Super Mario All-Stars for the SNES.
I only knew of maybe one secret or short cut. Most of the time I remember I had a lot of fun digging in the sand and pulling up every thing I could find. I would be the slowest player.
That's basically me for almost every game lol. I don't give a damn about speed, I just love exploring. With that said though sI love watching speed-runners and have mad respect some of the superhumans that attempt these.
+metalheaddave666 Not like this one. There's only a few songs here. An outside song, an inside song and a boss/tough area song. Even smb1 had more songs than that. Later Mario games are of course packed with songs.
+Adam Howell It's because this game was just another game with Mario characters slapped onto it. Everything in this game - enemies, music, etc - wasn't made by the Mario team, except for the main characters. To think, we never would have had Shy Guy or Birdo if this game didn't require Nintendo characters to sell it.
Speedruns are so fascinating. I enjoy watching the creative tricks people use to get through levels faster and this one had a lot of them that I'd never have thought of.
It would make sense if he's a tyrant of nightmares, tho. Sure, he hates veggies...but so does everybody else.

@@CWG500SUBSWBC Because a) everything you would want to know is online and b) the games have a lot more in game tutorials now. A lot of modern games start with 30 minutes or more of basically explaining what to do. These games, they just throw your character into the level and you figure it out
Always thought this was the best of the series, mainly for how weird it is, but also because its secrets are so difficult to discover and unlock. Great demo.
I call it "False Speedrun". Using warps to bypass chunks of the game is, in itself, a form of cheating. It was still pretty fast, though. I'd like to see him play through the entire game, without warps. That would be a true speedrun
+pustulio81 They didn't glitch the game, its all within the boundaries of the games rules. How is it cheating to use the mechanics present within the game? That's like saying using your sword to defeat enemies in Zelda is cheating. Obviously you should only use deku sticks and your boomerang, because that would be the most difficult way to defeat the game. It's a different category of speed run, this would be considered an any% speed run where you are allowed to skip parts of the game through warps or any other means. If you don't like it that's fine but that's why they have 100% categories, for people who like to see every part of the game played. Also before you put down other peoples efforts, you could not pull off 9 minutes with or without warps. It's impressive either way.
MegaSuperab I was just pointing out how disappointing it was he never got to play the slot machine. I remember precisely three things from this game as a kid: Peach hovering, the random eagle-mouth doors, and the slot machine bonus. XD
Love watching speed runs, always makes me laugh to think how many hours I sunk into these games to see some joker finish them in minutes lol Great run👍
This "joker" has dedicated hours upon hours and even years to perfect this stuff. He didn't wake up bored one day and decide to speed run. He prepared himself with years gameplay and master planning 1st.
This was great!! By far my favorite game ever on NES. I'm 40 yrs old and I remember playing this in 88 w my old boyfriend. We played for hours! The only Mario game that Mario was useless in. Thanks for sharing. Great play
NIneDJcali Was that comment for me? if so, what is the problem? It's not like we had sex or did much of anything except go the movies and stuff. Jeez...
When I was a kid I had it down to about 12 minutes with peach the whole way. My motivation? I just loved the ending music while Mario sleeps so much I wanted to listen to it as I lay in bed. So every night I could, I would seek the Nintendo on and best the game as fast as I could, in order to reduce my chances of getting caught, just to hear that end theme.
When I was a kid this was the one game I was better at than all of my friends. I got to where I could beat it in 22 minutes. I'm still proud of that. But after seeing this, I'm slightly less proud. Amazing job.
It's amazing really when you think about it, when I was a kid playing this game, the internet did not exist, you couldn't just RUclips a game and find out where your going wrong, you just had to either stick at it or give up, well 22 years later watching this video shows me that I really sucked at that game.
***** Actually more accurately the other game is a sprite swap of this. As it was always originally intended to be a mario game. It was changed when another company lent the use of their IP to nintendo and head office changed it to tie in with that while they could.
***** The liscence however was only valid in japan, so the original art was reintegrated and the game returned to its original state upon american release.
Delicious Things So, they removed B button running in Doki Doki but returned it for release to the states? Also, why is it called "Super Mario Bros USA" in Japan? I think you may have misheard something somewhere.
I never figured out that you could go over instead of under at 5:48, tricky. And I never knew about 7:55 until now. Very well done. Something to try when I go back to my parents for Christmas. My NES still works. :)
With the exception of mario64, still my favorite. Distinct among the franchise as an "off model" game with unusual enemies, (and ways to kill them), no bowser, and the only mario game (outside of mario rpg and the party/kart games) that gives you a choice of four characters. Plus, what a great "game win" payoff vs. SMB's profound 8-bit let-down of an "Oh, hey man, thanks. Yeah, all those castles and this is what you get. What? You want more? Well here, have seconds.. with beetles."
This was the only Super Mario Bros. game I beat as a kid, except for Super Mario World. Those were also my two favorites! I'd love to see Wart come back in some capacity. Also, I played like this person; Toad and Luigi only!
I think it is a TAS. It's impossible to not fail even once in all the stuffs thus guy is doing. He clearly saves and reloads from the emulator until getting it proper right. Then it's only a work of video editing.
You could tell it was recorded on VHS because of some of the lines and fuzziness. This was probably a world record run for its time when it was recorded. Though there are a few (but very, very few) times where there was a mis-timed jump, including the clouds and ladders area in world 6, where it could have been a tad bit faster. But I'm not complaining at all. I know I can't do speed runs for any game, so I would never judge anyone's skills in doing it. I'm only quoting my army NCOIC, Sergeant Powell (E7 Sergeant First Class), "Meh. There's still room for improvement, you doggone knucklehead!" He was such a cheery guy. Sarcasm... It helps! Excellent video! It would be nice if this still holds a world record time, or at least in the world's top 10 fastest.
As a kid in the nineties, this game got tons of play time. But, never did I get past world 3 (no saves...). I always wondered what the rest of the game was like. Now I know. You changed my life...
Does picking up the enemies make you run faster? Just wondering why that started about halfway through the game but not before. Oh and dude jumping on the albatrosses to get past the big hole level? Then throwing the shy guy against the wall and jumping off him? Like a boss!
John Seller Indeed, Toad is unique in that his run speed actually increases when carrying something (even the heaviest objects!) whereas all other characters are slowed.
This is how the SMBs went. 1. Was just a great game, made lots of money. 2. Took too many drugs, made this acid trip, decided not to take as many drugs. 3. Another great game. 2. was always my favorite though.
Doki Doki Panic was made by the same team that made SMB1 and SMB2J. They just added Mario characters and branded it as SMB2 here because they felt American's wouldn't like SMB2J because of the difficulty and because it looked too much like SMB1.
+VideosBySteve That's no REAL shortcut... it's a bug if you "jump" off the chain and onto the "top" of the screen - kinda cheesy he uses it a couple times on this speed run - I don't like it
+feioncastor not really its there because the creators put it there or bad coding and this is an Any% speed run so you don't need to find all the secrets and try to get the end credits by any means necessary even if it means glitchy gyro the credits
No idea. The manual did say that. However all the rest of them run slower. Mario loses a small amount of speed, Luigi more, and Princess the most. Typically Toad and Luigi are 2 best options for most stages. There's a couple that Princess might be better for (like in world 5). Mario is generally not that good, which is funny. If you want a decent challenge, play through all stages with Mario, no warps. Not that hard if you know the game well, but Mario is not that great in a lot of parts.
mrmacross It's a glitch/exploit that was accidentally left in the final version of the game. Kind of like how Ryu is the only character who takes massive damage while dizzy in the original Street Fighter II. It was supposed to be done for each character, but got abandoned during the alpha/beta stages. However, the programmers forgot to remove it from Ryu's programming.
Wow great skill man. That's talent. So much to remember. I'm not saying Mario 1 takes no skill that does top but when I saw 8 minutes for Mario 2i had to see it. You're a legend.
More than 20 years later I finally see how this game ends

I remember getting to that fake ass bird at the end and dying. Think I quit that day
This game is 32 years old and still a great game
Hahah same here

I guess you could say this was a TAS (Toad Assisted Speedrun)
Walrusxyz Har har.
I call it "False Speedrun". Using warps to bypass chunks of the game is, in itself, a form of cheating. It was still pretty fast, though. I'd like to see him play through the entire game, without warps. That would be a true speedrun
pustulio81 Yeah yeah, shut the fuck up. People do this shit with effort, ya whiny fuck.
+Ragy Not really, but at least they tried, I guess.
+pustulio81 They didn't glitch the game, its all within the boundaries of the games rules. How is it cheating to use the mechanics present within the game? That's like saying using your sword to defeat enemies in Zelda is cheating. Obviously you should only use deku sticks and your boomerang, because that would be the most difficult way to defeat the game. It's a different category of speed run, this would be considered an any% speed run where you are allowed to skip parts of the game through warps or any other means. If you don't like it that's fine but that's why they have 100% categories, for people who like to see every part of the game played. Also before you put down other peoples efforts, you could not pull off 9 minutes with or without warps. It's impressive either way.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, JUST GIVE THE MAN A DAMN BONUS!
This is a speedrun, bonuses make the game longer, so no.
MegaSuperab I was just pointing out how disappointing it was he never got to play the slot machine. I remember precisely three things from this game as a kid: Peach hovering, the random eagle-mouth doors, and the slot machine bonus. XD
+Alex Tocqueville
Slot machine? Ain't nobody got time for that!
+Alex Tocqueville u only get slot machine attempts for each coin collected during the level. no coin was collected.
Alex Tocqueville hahaahahah that's right
Just hearing these musics brings me memories..
*Of constant frustration!*
Love watching speed runs, always makes me laugh to think how many hours I sunk into these games to see some joker finish them in minutes lol
Great run👍
I'm sure these jokers poured hours into them as well, at some point
This "joker" has dedicated hours upon hours and even years to perfect this stuff. He didn't wake up bored one day and decide to speed run. He prepared himself with years gameplay and master planning 1st.
Enjoy how these guys beat these classics in a handful of minutes. They have already spent many lifetimes perfecting it, after all!
This was great!! By far my favorite game ever on NES. I'm 40 yrs old and I remember playing this in 88 w my old boyfriend. We played for hours! The only Mario game that Mario was useless in. Thanks for sharing. Great play
*cough cough* Yoshi's Island ;)
Gahanna Ohio Not when he grabs a star
So you were 13, ok.
Gahanna Ohio You must really like it for it to be your favourite NES game, seeing as it was a SNES game...
NIneDJcali Was that comment for me? if so, what is the problem? It's not like we had sex or did much of anything except go the movies and stuff. Jeez...
Wow, I just realized I have never seen the end of this game. My childhood is now complete!
Luigi and Toad; the ultimate team.
Bad Luck Toad. Finally get's his chance to shine in a Mario game. Turns out it's not a real Mario game AND it's a dream.
It can't be saving princess because princess is a playable character
What do you mean "finally"? When was Toad ever featured as a character before this game's release?
Tim Walden yes he was the one that said the princess is in another castle
What about super Mario 3D world
GamerEX but it is a real Mario game?
Hey mom I can play SMB2?
Mom: We leave in 9 minutes so hurry
Me:
I spent a lot of my childhood trying to beat this one, only to realize THAT was the ending!?
That's an absolute work of art...very nicely done, guys!
When I was a kid I had it down to about 12 minutes with peach the whole way. My motivation? I just loved the ending music while Mario sleeps so much I wanted to listen to it as I lay in bed. So every night I could, I would seek the Nintendo on and best the game as fast as I could, in order to reduce my chances of getting caught, just to hear that end theme.
When I was a kid this was the one game I was better at than all of my friends. I got to where I could beat it in 22 minutes. I'm still proud of that. But after seeing this, I'm slightly less proud. Amazing job.
Oh boy, do I remember the terror that was World 7... How I beat this when I was a kid is completely beyond me.
It's amazing really when you think about it, when I was a kid playing this game, the internet did not exist, you couldn't just RUclips a game and find out where your going wrong, you just had to either stick at it or give up, well 22 years later watching this video shows me that I really sucked at that game.
😂😂😂😂 dude me too !!
7:23 Birdo came back.
Yea sometimes birdo was just used as an enemy and not a boss enemy
He was actually talking about the glitch with Birdo reappearing right after he died.
I noticed that also lol
I think they call it Ghost Birdo
i used to be able to do this in like maybe 25 mins as a kid, some of your choices are eye opening :)
your eyes are supposed to be opened to watch the video
whosVariations so my eyese are closed? is that a dig? an observation? commentary? satire? its like an awesome mind puzzle...
+Bacon Creepy the sleeper must awaken
Emerald dream
Bacon Creepy Do you do it buddy
I always thought this game was really cool. Lk one of my retro faves of all time
Repurposing the key as a weapon xD
1:42 Going Kingdom Hearts on Birdo!
Pacman from smash 4 XD
Also, Birdo died after being hit twice with the key, unlike three times with any other block.
I just tried this, took three hits with the key.
I think he exploited some sort of glitch where Birdo gets hit twice with the same cast.
This represents about a tenth of my entire childhood :D
toad: run like u stole something.
One of the strangest Super Mario games...
This game is actually a lot like Super Mario 3D World, which I just got yesterday lol
that is because it is a pallet swap of another game.
***** Actually more accurately the other game is a sprite swap of this. As it was always originally intended to be a mario game. It was changed when another company lent the use of their IP to nintendo and head office changed it to tie in with that while they could.
***** The liscence however was only valid in japan, so the original art was reintegrated and the game returned to its original state upon american release.
Delicious Things So, they removed B button running in Doki Doki but returned it for release to the states?
Also, why is it called "Super Mario Bros USA" in Japan? I think you may have misheard something somewhere.
It just really impressed me how good you know this game...
I never figured out that you could go over instead of under at 5:48, tricky. And I never knew about 7:55 until now. Very well done. Something to try when I go back to my parents for Christmas. My NES still works. :)
After speedrunning this game myself, all I can say is wow.
Nintendo power never showed me this shit when I was a kid.
Nintendo Power was part of the Illuminati.
I knew all the secrets, I figured them out by my self.
I'm amazed at this level of playing perfection. I always loved this game and I had no idea you could dominate it like that.
With the exception of mario64, still my favorite. Distinct among the franchise as an "off model" game with unusual enemies, (and ways to kill them), no bowser, and the only mario game (outside of mario rpg and the party/kart games) that gives you a choice of four characters.
Plus, what a great "game win" payoff vs. SMB's profound 8-bit let-down of an "Oh, hey man, thanks. Yeah, all those castles and this is what you get. What? You want more? Well here, have seconds.. with beetles."
You can play as 4 or more characters in New Super Mario bros. Wii and New Super Mario bros. U deluxe. And Super Mario 3D World.
FINALLY someone who knows you can superjump with the key as Luigi to get up on the hill. I thought I was the only one.
7:07 almost fucks up the speed run but makes an excellent recovery.
This was the only Super Mario Bros. game I beat as a kid, except for Super Mario World. Those were also my two favorites!
I'd love to see Wart come back in some capacity.
Also, I played like this person; Toad and Luigi only!
Same, well i beat the others, but my 2 faves
Gotta love Warp Rooms. Classic game though. Very underrated.
Anthony Palumbo underrated? ..its Mario 2...
this guys ability to avoid damage was amazing along with his precision jumps on things to avoid falling... props man bad ass
Right button on the d-pad must be chalk by now.
This game was so unique and cool, and the music was legendary, some of the best in the series.
I think it is a TAS. It's impossible to not fail even once in all the stuffs thus guy is doing. He clearly saves and reloads from the emulator until getting it proper right. Then it's only a work of video editing.
You could tell it was recorded on VHS because of some of the lines and fuzziness. This was probably a world record run for its time when it was recorded. Though there are a few (but very, very few) times where there was a mis-timed jump, including the clouds and ladders area in world 6, where it could have been a tad bit faster. But I'm not complaining at all. I know I can't do speed runs for any game, so I would never judge anyone's skills in doing it. I'm only quoting my army NCOIC, Sergeant Powell (E7 Sergeant First Class), "Meh. There's still room for improvement, you doggone knucklehead!" He was such a cheery guy. Sarcasm... It helps! Excellent video! It would be nice if this still holds a world record time, or at least in the world's top 10 fastest.
literally ran through this game. never seen such good gameplay
DeadlyVenomKing he hits every single jump, it's ridiculous. he makes this game look really easy which is comical
the timing this guy has is incredible.
Extremely impressive! I was expecting some cheap number counting bs but glad it was all skill!
What! There's a freaking spaceship in the game!
its funny that the game seems almost conceived so you can zip through levels if youre good enough
All the early mario games were like that.
As a kid in the nineties, this game got tons of play time. But, never did I get past world 3 (no saves...). I always wondered what the rest of the game was like. Now I know. You changed my life...
I beat this game once in 36 years
7:23 dark resurrection?
I never thought about bringing that key to the end in 1-2. Brilliant!
You just ruined my childhood. I never made it past 7-1.
Just finish it now dummy. ;) Childhood left intact.
Does picking up the enemies make you run faster? Just wondering why that started about halfway through the game but not before.
Oh and dude jumping on the albatrosses to get past the big hole level? Then throwing the shy guy against the wall and jumping off him? Like a boss!
John Seller Yeah the shy guy jump was awesome.
John Seller I'm wondering the same thing. There was a lot of what seems to be pointless pick ups.
John Seller I feel like Toad had a speed boost when having a pick up. Luigi had a hover jump.
John Seller I'm pretty sure it was so he could throw it at enemies if he was about to hit one
John Seller Indeed, Toad is unique in that his run speed actually increases when carrying something (even the heaviest objects!) whereas all other characters are slowed.
That was insane! I thought I was a good SMB2 player, but that was amazing
5:47 :O
I KNOW! Such a cool trick that I never knew.
Freaking amazing. It reminds me of shell juggling in the Kaizo hacks
I didn't even know you could do that. I usually just go under with the quicksand, making sure that I keep jumping to keep from sinking.
Wish I woulda known. I loved this game man.
S’amazin
This is how the SMBs went.
1. Was just a great game, made lots of money.
2. Took too many drugs, made this acid trip, decided not to take as many drugs.
3. Another great game.
2. was always my favorite though.
Wilbur Jenkins the second one wasn't made by Nintendo but bought by them and made into a Mario game.
Doki Doki Panic was made by the same team that made SMB1 and SMB2J. They just added Mario characters and branded it as SMB2 here because they felt American's wouldn't like SMB2J because of the difficulty and because it looked too much like SMB1.
Xx5thHorsemanxX Wrong again
This game was my absolute nemesis as a kid
As a kid, the worst part for me was, i'd want to give up but i'd really wanted to see the ending.
Looks like this was recorded with a VCR, which means it was on the actual hardware. That's impressive.
*World Record* Publicly maybe. Some can maybe do it faster but he/she has not told anyone
7:55 i never knew there was a shortcut. Gonna have to try that myself.
+VideosBySteve That's no REAL shortcut... it's a bug if you "jump" off the chain and onto the "top" of the screen - kinda cheesy he uses it a couple times on this speed run - I don't like it
+Matthew Foos I agree. Bug exploitation is kinda cheating.
+feioncastor not really its there because the creators put it there or bad coding and this is an Any% speed run so you don't need to find all the secrets and try to get the end credits by any means necessary even if it means glitchy gyro the credits
+Kaiman JIG *to the credits
+VideosBySteve Me neither. i thought I knew them all. Time to break out the emulator.
Damn, after 39 years Back, I'm getting old.
7:54 - how do you do that invisible move ?!
Just jump from the chain to the very top of the screen. Hold right. Easy.
Just because his name is on a game doesn't mean that he can be the star of the game
This is actually the coolest video I‘ve ever seen on RUclips
Press 1 to pay respects to Mario and peach
lol he didn't use them like they were dead XD he told a funny...
+garrett D they were probably worse for its speedrun
1
1
1
I couldn't even beat the first level of this game …
Am i seriusly the only one who adores this game?....perhaps
Wait, does Toad run faster if he's holding an object? The instruction manual says he runs at the same speed!!!
He does indeed run faster, but I end up crashing so I can't control properly so I don't do that anymore. XD
I was wondering the same.
Faster
No idea. The manual did say that. However all the rest of them run slower. Mario loses a small amount of speed, Luigi more, and Princess the most. Typically Toad and Luigi are 2 best options for most stages. There's a couple that Princess might be better for (like in world 5). Mario is generally not that good, which is funny.
If you want a decent challenge, play through all stages with Mario, no warps. Not that hard if you know the game well, but Mario is not that great in a lot of parts.
mrmacross It's a glitch/exploit that was accidentally left in the final version of the game. Kind of like how Ryu is the only character who takes massive damage while dizzy in the original Street Fighter II. It was supposed to be done for each character, but got abandoned during the alpha/beta stages. However, the programmers forgot to remove it from Ryu's programming.
7:23 "I'm not dead"
Wow great skill man. That's talent. So much to remember. I'm not saying Mario 1 takes no skill that does top but when I saw 8 minutes for Mario 2i had to see it. You're a legend.
SPEED LUIGI
