This is just amazing.

I already saw this posted elsewhere today, but it's still awesome.

Yeah, someone has a lot of time.

The game has been out for almost 15 years, still freakish though.

Even more freakish, he has a video of him beating Mega Man 2 in 29 minutes and only getting hit like 3 times.

i discussed this with someone at length yesterday who I picture as avi...was it you?

although this achievement looks amazing, I think it's actually not. if you notice, he abuses the uniform loads of monsters, and not very precisely, either. once you learn exactly where on the edge of the screen a koopa is going to pop, you just have to jump into that general area to keep your vault going.

what i think took a lot more skill was that amazing Tetris video that made the rounds half a year ago. that required actual skill and quick thought and judgment, not just learning the loads of monsters.

wasn't me.

my wife got so angry with me when I was watching that. "why do you want to watch someone else play a video game? that's so dumb!" meh.

Sheesh, and I thought I had a lot of time on my hands...

I saw something like this for Super Mario 1 a while back, but it had a buch of showing off and such, instead of just going through as fast as possible.

This isn't amazing. The emulator is sped up. To test this I even checked on my 2 copies of mario 3 (got one for free) on 2 of my 3 NES's (yes I have 3, but one is broken and one is the newer one).

I never beat Super Mario Bros.

 

[Steve]

i beat 1,2,3 and super mb

what do you mean it's sped up? mario's not moving at a significantly higher speed than the console.

and if he beat it in 12 instead of 11 minutes, well, big whoop?

 

[capeda]

I think he's using cheats... he gets hit by 2 or 3 wrenches in the dark world. Nevertheless, its pretty damn amazing. I wish I was that good of a gamer

 

[Steve]

Actually, it's more like 20 minutes, and a few of the wait times are cut down.

 

[FrostGiant]

Well then it sucks.
