- The flagpole glitch's entertainment value is a ridiculous excuse. I feel that if it were possible in NTSC without any setup, the improvement would be accepted despite any "entertainment loss."
It's boggling that anyone seriously wants this run not to exist on this site, whose primary function is to display runs of this type. Anyone who says otherwise is being disingenuous. I have no way of knowing or proving this, but I suspect all we are seeing is a bunch of butthurt people who really wish they'd figured this out before MUGG did, and are looking for any excuse to invalidate his incredible effort.
You know what? To the average layperson who has no idea what the difference between [PAL] and [U] and [J] is, they wouldn't understand why the fastest run doesn't get the prize. And I would have to agree with that. This website is for entertainment purposes, and the fastest run should be the main published one, obsoleting any older ones. This is for the entertainment of not only fellow gamers, but for casual gamers and even non-gamers alike. I choose yes (as a gamer representing the people)!
Also, the "use the USA version where possible" rule started, I think, because there was an assumption that the vast majority of visitors to the site would be English speakers who would find games in other languages confusing and not interesting to watch. If that rule really is still in effect to any degree, it should probably be reevaluated.

No. As a long-time SMB player, I disagree to play Super Mario Bros in PAL mode, if the glitch doesn't work on NTSC mode, it shouldn't be called a glitch, I'm not sure if that's cheating. Edit: I've discussed this with Chinese best SMB players (including GAP, MFGI), we all think that the E version is a terrible version, it shouldn't be allowed here. I'd like to hear what klmz thinks.

The truth is that'll hardly be a problem because we don't reject bad submissions because we don't have enough room for them. We reject them because they're bad. The goal is keep accepting submissions that are good. We know such submissions because entertaining ones will remain entertaining, and technically competent ones will remain technically competent. There is no particular reason nor need to restrict the amount of either of them on the site explaining that with lack of room.
I'll be honest in that the only thing I hear here is "durr hurr it's faster than my movie".
Sure is SERIOUS BUSINESS in here. Voting no since the author admitted it wasn't optimal, "Since this was only a fun project, [MUGG] didn't bother much about the 21-frame rule." When an optimzed PAL run is submitted, then I may decide to participate in this stalemate of a discussion.
