General Info

  • Emulator: FEC Ultra 0.98.16
  • Aims for fastest time
  • Abuses programming errors
  • Uses warps
21 frames faster than the published movie due to the legendary flagpole-stuck glitch[1] in Stage 8-2.
This trick itself saved lots of frames, but it also took lots of frames to be performed[2].

Credits

Thanks to everyone who gave me informations on the flagpole-stuck glitch[1].

Notes

[1] Someone should give it a better name than this one.
[2] Otherwise this movie would be 126 frames faster.

Hooray for legendary submissions that won't last for more than a day in the queue before being published!
A hundred years from now, they will gaze upon my work and marvel at my skills but never know my name. And that will be good enough for me.

Well, rather NICE i would say; no reazon to not be published. After watching the movie, i thought about a posibility. Do you think you can save further frames by penetrating the blocks at the end of worlds 4-2 and 1-2? im not familiar on the trick pretty much, but it could save a couple of frames or so. If it doesnt, well, perfect; if it does. Nice xD perfection will never be perfect, congrats on a great smb1 movie.\ BTW: A little more explanation on the glitch would be appreciatted =3
I am not a Taser, i just needed to vote...i do visit the site =P

I wonder if the glitch was first found in tool-assisted play or not. Now SMB full run definitely needs to be revised.

AnS, it's not possible in realtime. And as klmz was saying for his first submission, he had been trying to figure out a way to get past the flagpole without having to lower the flag. So he has been trying to do this for quite some time tool-assisted.

Heh, I loved the 8-2 finish. 21 frames? I take it most levels didn't benefit from the glitch since that would mean only one had a frame-rule cycle saved? Or does the rule apply to some step of the flag anim that's being skipped so each level contributed a few frames? What are the current frames needed to get one cycle ahead with the frame-rule for each level?

Very good. Wouldn't have expected the last one to be improved this much.

I was wondering if I'd be able to spot the improvement without watching the old run. Well, I was, so this gets a yes-vote. Awesome glitch.

Why not? Sure it requires high level of precision which can be achieved via tool-assistance or pure luck. So I agree the trick is impossible to repeat in realtime, but not to find it accidentally.

Uh, I was under impression that klmz wasn't one who actually found the trick.

This is an example of a TAS tha was thought impossible to beat, beaten, and you go to sleep, withthe new one not being there, and then you wake up and it's published. First time this happened to me was 4 days ago with Shinryuu's MM6 run. As with all SMB1 runs, this run freaking rocks! Great job!
See Youtube page (GIRfanaticTAS) for all runs and stuff.

Can you be more precise as to where is the improvement? And why it has been improved? Edit: Ok, I thought it was improved by 21 frames due to some minor error but 've just watched it after noticing that andrewg pointed out about a glitch in the SMB1 thread.

Fantastic use of a Bullet Bill there. I can't wait until this run drops below 4:30. ^_^ EDIT: Hang on, I just realized something: how come the flagpole glitch wasn't used in 8-3? *hurries off to make an improved speed run*

NES TAS of 2011
Man, yesterday I almost decided to try my first TAS, and considering it is smb1, I thought it would be a good idea to do. TASing a simple game would be a good way to start and I know all the glitches used. I can't beleive I found this and realized it would save time only a few hours prior to it being published. I wish I had stayed up and played for hours attempting to pull off my first ever TAS.

Works for 0.98.15 and 0.98.16 for me. Super Mario Bros. (JU) (PRG0) [!] checksum: e8630381e653d7732b18fdf055ec4dd. Maybe you're using PRG1?

Didn't know that the previous run can still be improved. Though the movie is already published, I will still cast my yes vote.

I love the fact that this improvement makes the movie different. VERY different from any earlier SMB runs, even though it's just one level.

Cool run, but yet another prime example of a movie being published way too quickly.

Here's a handy link of all the arguments for and against fast publication. Ya know, just so we don't pollute another thread with the same fucking bullshit that's been talked to death already.

I am really perplexed, I have the right rom (exact checksum match) and the same version of the emulator. It works for every other NES run available, what is different about this one? also strange, it seems to desync in 8-2, presumably about where he strayed from the last run. anyone got advice?
