What I mean is a Tool Assisted Speedrun with some hacking with the Hex Editor in real time while recording the video. Did you ever see Mario casting a spell, or a Goomba that can jump, or run faster than Mario in Super Mario Bros 1 on the Nes? In the following video, anything could happen at anytime and the final combat with Bowser is something to not miss: Link to video If you love this, I will tell you how to do this. If you love what I do, I'm currently working on a new game since the last 2 years. This is on Steam and I'm at around 2000 YES votes away of the top 50 ranked games on Greenlight.

Hilarious video, great effort. Would love to know how you did this. Looks like it was a lot of work.

Looks more like a ROM Corruption from the Real-Time Corruptor Mod on BizHawk.

This looks shopped. I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops in my time.

This reminds me of Xkeeper's "corruption" streams, only quite better.

Thanks for your comments. I will post a video tutorial at the beginning of the week on how to make a TAS versus Hack and I will post a new video about an other hacked game: Dragon Warrior. It's much easier and faster to make it on a Nes game, than on a GBA game, because of the length of the memory, but it's still possible to make it on a game of any system emulated with the following features: a Hex Editor, movie recorder, AVI recorder and a Frame Counter displayed.

Holy shit, it's Genisto! It feels weird seeing you posting after several years of seeing your nickname stamped all over the site. Welcome back. :) Anyway, that video is really neat. I like the concept and look forward to watching future videos in the same vein.

Impressive work! Ending is great! It would be great if this format of TASing will be acceptable for Moons.
TASing is like making a film: only the best takes are shown in the final movie.

Don't count on it. These runs are fun, but they violate the fundamental TAS principle of not externally modifying the game while playing.

Masterjun can do it without hex editor.
Why do we call it saving frames if we only plan to get rid of them?

Now I'm imagining a SMW ACE TAS where mario runs at double speed, is invincible, and can shoot lasers from his eyes.

To be honest, just using a Lua script for all this would be like 100 times easier...

Here is the part 1 of SMB2. In this video you will see one of the hardest boss in video games: The mouse with his bombs hardcore version. Birdo has rapid fire with his eggs. The whole level keeps changing at any time. Link to video

SMB3 hack Tank Level at ULTIMATE SPEED!! Here is an extra hack. This time it's a single level playthrough in Super Mario Bros 3 SNES version. The first tank level in World 8. The auto scrolling of the level increase over time. Have you tried to past this level at 12x speed? Link to video

Thanks for the advice. I used the Lua script for this hack.

Ehh, to be honest that one dragged on too long. And the fact that every single "pass" was a 1-Up farming session meant there wasn't much variety. It would've been nice to see Mario navigate one of the hyperspeed sections without touching a single enemy, maybe.
