So the guy made the video frame by frame and made it look perfect. Needs a life though, took him 2 years?? :lol:

Well i havnt checked the site yet or anything but what it said looked accurate, although someone may have just stuck that website at the end. Dunno, guess no one does but the guy who made it :huh:

Mario video? What Mario video? Did I miss something here? :unsure:

If that's true what a letdown, Most convincing fake ever though.
Still I'd like to know the guy who went to the trouble of translating some stupid shit like this then has the nerve to say that the Japs have too much time on their hands <_<

2 years compared to translating something very possibly with an online translator are two different things :lol:

Yeah, true, but it doesn't make him any less of a hypocrite.

I thought some things looked a little "fishy" in the movie... I give the guy credit though, it was pretty funny to watch.

Ahhh! What Mario video? Someone tell me before I go crazy here. :ph34r:
EDIT: Nevermind, found it. Downloading it now. 18MB on dial-up... :(

Ya know how they were talking about in x_gimpg's link that one way you could tell it wasn't real was how he shoots out like 2 fireballs that are way too close to each other? Well wouldn't a turbo controller do that? been so long I can't remember.

I already knew of this and I could tell especially since a scripted scene in the last world is missing :D

Wrong. They say in the forum, that everything in the game is legit. He never does anything that he would not be able to do.
Let me spell it out for the non-technical. Many emulators have what is called a save state. It is instant. If you jump up in the air and hit the save button, it saves THAT FRAME. You can press load, and it will load from the air. If you hold in the load button, Mario will fall over and over again, instantly... kind of a trip. Therefore, he was able to play perfectly. He'd save, do a scene, and if he didn't do it perfectly, he'd reload and try, try again until he got it.
Agreed, some people have way too much time on their hands. I confess to doing the same thing to get an edge over emulated games, but I'd never make a video of it and clip out the snafus and pass it off as a power play.
What you all seem to be unaware of (as many are) there is a SECOND video. I am almost sure it is another person playing. In the second video, they play EVERY level. It takes about an hour, and the video is broken up into 8 files - 1 file per world. Here are the eMule hashes - this is where I got it.
Ah shoot. Hashes won't work here. Look. Go to ShareReactor, go to Fun Stuff, and scroll down. If it's not there, you'll have to use the list. Scroll down until you find Super Mario Brothers 3 Power Play (or Super Play). Or search for it on the main page. And yes, ShareReactor is a slow ass page, but eMule is a good system. I now believe it's surpassed KL - at least in the number of people sharing. It kinda makes you share.

That was amazing but....
After each level it could have been edited in case he screwed up
Either way he obviously demolished each level..whether he tried over and over and edited it together or not.
And don't tell any crap about how it's not even possible that it was edited. All that has to be done is to start and stop recording after each fade out.

Its legit. Look at some of the parts in the boss levels. Where he repeatedly jumps on the cannon balls, he gets 1ups for doing so many in a row. If he were to break it up, and have to do it frame by frame like some of you say, then he wouldnt be getting those 1ups. And the other guys is right about emulators. You can save an exact spot, and if you screw up, just load it again.

lol. i thought there was something fishy bout that vid. lol

oh well
i couldnt complete the game in weeks and this guy does it in 11 mins i must admit i was amazed and even if its fake its still worth watching
Posted by: x_gimpg
I thought maybe he played slow-mo too with the emulator, that wouldnt be hard to cover up and make it fairly easy. Others on the link said he was more like programming it and had memorized the patterns. Maybe he mapped out the whole thing and put the timing into the program to jump/move/fire when it would be needed, thus not playing at all

o gr8 i spent 11 minutes of my life lookin at that and waz saying the whole way through somethin not quite right here lol :P

yah.....i was amazed when i watched it.... i downloaded that and the quake video at the same time...... they both impressed me....
the thing about smb3 is that i got together with 3 or 4 friends on a saturday and try to beat the game all 4 or 5ppl.....and it was damn hard.....now that just looks funny he beat it so easily :rolleyes:

I thought it was a fake as soon as I watched it.
People have been saying he COMPLETED the game in 11 mintues, but he clearly missed out loads of levels and probably missed out about 70% of the game.

Big Deal ;) i can beat in less time with that fluit thingy and the warps :clap:
