I started playing this game at age 8. Ended this game at age 13. I literally played it entire summer/winter vaccs. 2, 4 5 6,10 hrs. Someday even with my dad. We couldn't save this game so 1 have to start with level 1 everyday. Didnt knew about flute and anchor as well. Thia game meant a lot to me...for me its memories.
Its more like playing the game zoomed in x1000 loosely, I didnt understand it initially but they use save states and frame by frame button inputs and then “play” the outcome at regular speed. Sorry i just noticed your comments are years old.
If you fall with high speed at the right angle, you can go through the block like that. It gives you a small boost to do, so it was used as many times as possible in the run.
Here's a list of things you didn't explain that I noticed and would like explained: In 3-Fortress (10:04) you go through the door you come out of immediately to go straight to the Boom Boom room. That's not normally the door you use. In 4-4 (16:28) You deliberately slow down and make extra jumps that seem to make it take longer to get in the pipe. (You might also want to explain why you used the P-wing here, but I assume it's because of the water.) In multiple castles, including 4-Castle (17:39), you seem to do something (jumping?) that screws up the initial music. How does that work? In 5-Fortress-2 (23:52) you go through the wall. While it's obvious why you do it (as it lets you skip to the Boom Boom room), I think it would be a good place to explain wall walking and ejection. What lets you into a wall, and what makes it eject you the wrong way? (Unlike SMB1, you aren't facing the opposite way.) And why don't you do it lower so that you will drop out earlier and be able to run? Wall jumps would probably also be a good thing to discuss, like in 6-9 (29:45). I know it's basic, but so is what the items do that the Princess gives you.
3-F1: That is done by entering the door again in midair, 1 frame timing. Exactly why it takes you to Boom Boom, I don't know. 4-4: The P-wing was used to be able to keep P-speed through the end part of the level, and after the pipe. Something that isn't doable if you would have achieved P-speed at the beginning without a wing. The jumping in the end was faster than to accelerating your speed in the water, which is very slow. But for longer distances, it's faster to swim. Castles: The jump at the very beginning? You have a 2 frame window to make a jump at the start, that's all there is to it really =P. 5-F2: To be able to do that clip you need to have a ceiling. When you duckjump and land on the walljump pixel (Every 16th pixel), Mario will automatically stand up. And because his head will then be stuck inside the wall, you'll go through it. The game has just been programmed to eject Mario to the right instead of left, possibly because you are normally going from left to right. Might be a deeper explanation in the code though. And for the walljump itself: When you have enough speed, Mario can slightly clip into a wall. He'll normally just be pushed out again without anything special happening. Walls are made out of 16x16 pixel blocks, normally, and when Mario clips into a wall and lands on that block, the game will think that Mario is standing on the block for one frame, before you are eject back again. And during that frame you are able to execute a jump. I hope that answers your questions. And I would love to answer more stuff about the game/run as well!
Tompa A Thank you so much for the explanations! Is there any way they can be added to the commentary on the video itself? That's really what I was hoping for. Heck, I already know how walljumping works, but I thought other people might not. Also, does the input file have comments in it, too? Because I saw an HD encode (i.e. using hq4x filtering and stretching it to widescreen) where it seemed like the commentary was coming from the emulator itself. (All messages from the emulator were displayed on screen in this version.) The reason I ask is that I think the comments were different, and explained more. (I didn't watch it completely, so it might have just been a different run). I'm a big fan of commentary, as it helps me better understand the run, meaning I enjoy it more. It's a lot easier than what I used to have to do, which was pause the video every so often and read the Author comments from TASVideos.org.
ZipplyZane Yes, the input file got these comments as well. I don't feel like adding new explanations to this run, in the video, would be worth it though. It's so old and a new version of this run, as well as a 100% run, are being worked on by Lord Tom and I. We'll be sure to add in detailed explanations in those ones :).
ZipplyZane It is pretty much All Stages, skips in them will be used however. All levels will be started and finished. As a comparision, here is the real time WR: www.twitch.tv/kirua/c/4005230. The TAS is currently at level 6-F1-.
@@TompaA Its that they dont understand what "tool assisted" even means... Maybe a more apt description, like "programmed run performed by a computer", or something.
And it's actually best to grab the wand at the lowest area because it adds on your current position as well as height which adds on unneeded frames and slightly decreases time (In a +3 seconds way.)
TAS stands for Tool Assisted Speedrun. It's a run recorded with an emulator by slowing down the game as much as possible and use save states and rerecordings. The idea is to push the game to its limits, trying to find out how fast it can be beaten with 100% perfection. If the input for this run would be used on console, you would get the same exact result. Any specific areas for the P-speed where it is kept even though "it shouldn't"?
When you make a TAS you load up the game with an emulator. With the emulator you use various tools, mainly Frame Advance, which let's you record the input frame by frame (often 60 frames/second) and Save States to fix up errors you make in the progress. So it isn't a bot playing the game and the tools used are to find out how fast a game can be beaten with perfection. If the input used in a TAS would be used on console, the same result would be given. You can learn more on the website TASvideos.
World 7 was too hard for me. I just started over and used warp whistles to get to World 8. Beat the game but with my sanity largely removed. In-fact one run (when I was MUCH younger) had me ignore the 1-3 warp whistle and get the second warp whistle I needed from the World 2 secret section. That allowed me to grab a P-wing Message from the Princess to use on the stage with all the little ships/platforms.

Please someone can tell me HOW TO RENDERIZE AN OLD FCM MOVIE IN HD OR MORE THAN JUST 244p? My FCEUX is already updated to 2.2.3 and it still renderizes AVI in 256x244 :( I wannit in at least 640x480p or better 1440x1080p >:( I tryed converting old FCM movies into BK2 ones (for Bizhawk, it can renderize AVI resized bigger) but the file movies corrupts and them turn into a mess! Please can someone help me? :d
Computer Tools Such as programs to slow down the processing speed of the game or to exploit glitches in the game were used. This is all done on a emulator to emulate the system it was originally on.
+steven De Santos Note that it is a Tool Assisted Speedrun. We made this with an emulator by recording the input frame by frame and with save states, with the goal of findings out how fast a game can be beaten in theory with perfection. We didn't do it with a regular NES controller and our reflexes =).
+steven De Santos You definitely don't, this isn't to beat anyone. It's purely to show how fast a game could be beaten IF a human was capable of pressing buttons so precisely 100% of the time :) And if they could press buttons as fast of course...
13:00 So even for a TAS, it's impossible to ride those things all the way across before the screen outruns you. Also, it's not HD if the game's pixels are still bigger than the period at the end of this sentence. =P
messing around getting extra points leading to more card houses , and then 0.01 second slower overall cause it pauses for a split second when the card house appears?!@?!@?!!@?
@BrandMan211 I've seen 60fps vids on RUclips before, so uh? People such as the following have uploaded in 60fps many times: mandermka, mindscarp, KiraYamatoGXX, etc.
We basically did what we felt for, uploaded the movie to the rest and let them either improve what you did or do the next part/level. I personally don't like autoscrollers, as I don't think I'm good at doing entertaining things during the waiting time. While Adelikat found them relaxing to work with, as you don't (can't) aim for speed in the same way as normal levels.
Previous comment removed, because it turns out RUclips's subtitle system is super flexible! If anyone is having trouble reading the subtitles on the teal and white HUD, hit b to turn on the subtitle background, and if that isn't readable enough, you can click the CC box to change the color settings to something you can read.
Probably the hardest game in Mario Series, Super Mario Bros 3, even for very hardcore oriental or TAS players it would be a very fuck up experience run like that, and in this video, bot is being used just to show the hardcoreness the is possible to do OMG!!!

As a comparision, here is the real time WR: www.twitch.tv/kirua/c/4005230. The TAS is currently at level 6-F1-.
Isso é habilidade pura, coisa de profissional
if you look at the edges of the screen, there are some colour bugs. It seems smb3 pushes the nes to its limits
The one played the ship parts always scared the shit outta me
i don't understand why you obtain 105 bad thumb ... this is a really good run and it's a pleasure too see it. good job !
Because people don't understand that it is a Tool Assisted Speedrun.
And considering we were four people working on the run...
There always people with thumb down
@@TompaA Its that they dont understand what "tool assisted" even means...
Maybe a more apt description, like "programmed run performed by a computer", or something.
LORD TOM WAS THE FINDER OF THE BUG OF MARIO BROS 3 IN 3 MINS :o
Ugh. That slow moving World 4 airship, tho.....
Dan Root i know. I just like hurry up already let me beat the boss now.
For those wondering how he's able to go through blocks, he's abusing their hit-boxes, TAS-s do it all the time. No cheats or hacks were used.
No that's totally cheating bro
@@n8with8s Tbh, I don't know whether it's a glitch nor a cheat
TAS is just one big cheat...
It's called using the system to your advantage!
Esté señor si es bueno para pasar todos los niveles de super Mario bros tres, sin que le quitarán ninguna vida,

How's the animations going?
10 years later, getting this recommended. Plus, did RUclips have CC back then?
This is what happens when you give Mario Cocaine.
mushrooms better
As a side note, hitting the goal block at full speed at about a 45° angle will always grant you a star.
And it's actually best to grab the wand at the lowest area because it adds on your current position as well as height which adds on unneeded frames and slightly decreases time (In a +3 seconds way.)

Curious as to what (if anything) would have happened if Mario had kept on sliding through the blocks at the end of the last battle with Bowser 46:57
Game crash

I love the hit box abuse going on with this run. Really shows how messed up the hit boxes were.
Honestly if you watch an RTA speedrun of SMB1 you see a lot of that too

The annotations make this perfect.
For me, this is a true speedrun. Beating the game as fast as possible without exploiting any glitches.
Thanks for the awesome commentary!
Some airship levels are so good to do 1UP glitches.
Finally, someone else who captions their videos
Bowser was only worth 100 points? Was that a joke by the programmers?
Maybe they thought nobody would try to kill it with fire balls to find out...

Remember when i got this game. What was homework back in those days ^^ Spent hours on SMB3 :D And Megaman series XD
Also if anyone is wondering this is on an emulator snes9x I believe
We used the emulator FCEUX to record it. SNES9X is a SNES emulator.
Well, this is an NES game not SNES game.
Look at the first level closely, you can see, how Mario jumps through a "?"-Block.
+Nick Benz And?
That's because the hitboxes for the blocks(or Mario's hitbox)are small enough to where Mario's sprite looks like its going through blocks.
he does it pretty much every other level. Not a big deal in a TAS
18:15 like a boss
2021?
TAS videos are awesome. In HD, more awesome!
I figured out you slow yourself down near the box at the end sometimes because you don't want 3 stars because that is a longer animation
I love how every airship is basically "TAS makers getting bored"

I was hoping Bowser would be killed with a Hammer Brother suit. One well-placed throw can take him out.
Not true it takes between(4-6)to kill Bowser with Hammer Bros. Suit. And it takes about 15 with Fire power/plant.
RUclips puts resolution to the closest standard presets, but if it's above 1080p (eg 2K or 4K), it's labelled as original (original resolution).
I imagine the face of Shigeru Miyamoto looking at this XD
Computer Tools Such as programs to slow down the processing speed of the game or to exploit glitches in the game were used. This is all done on a emulator to emulate the system it was originally on.
I like how this TAS guy needed four people to play him for this run. D:
I wish more TAS would add annotations!
I play this a lot and have tried running thru when I get bored like this it's fun
That would slow him down because the aimation for 3 Mushrooms/ Flowers/ Stars is longer than just random.

I typically think of the NES as having 60 frames per second, but apparently it's actually closer to 60.098.
:( These guys making my childhood game look so easy when it took me about 5months to beat it :(
indeed! i just repaired my 27 year old nes, popped mario 3 in on my hdtv and it didnt look anything as clear as this!!!!!!
so sick!!!!! respect!!!!
