You can probably avoid that second pause you made in your example movie by jumping off a floating block, too.

Cool. Now since 2-3 and 4-3 are autoscrolling shooters, what are you doing to make them interesting?

I always use my old Geocities site to host movies, but I probably shouldn't give you the password for that. Have you tried searching for free webspace sites on your own?

I am trying this out, I've finished the first two worlds, and all my levels are at or faster than the best times you've reported so far. As a secondary goal I am getting as many points as possible, which leads to some interesting moves. Anyway, the only place I have had to slow down so far was one spot with the bone fish in 2-1, so besides that I don't think it would be possible to go faster. Interestingly, I was able to gun down the big bad seahorse and still finish 2-3 as fast as possible. This is going pretty fast, so I'll try to make it all the way through before posting.

Hi, wow... that brings back memories... strangely, more than any other run I've seen before. And I did not even have a gameboy back then. However, I have some points: 1) It's the ROM version 1.1. 1.0 desyncs at the end of world 1 (mario gets three lives and later on, it's completely out of sync). 2) Are you sure that getting the fireflower after each world is fastest? Would not getting one up be a bit faster (the animation of mario growing looks like it's taking quite some time) 3) In World 4, while I (just somewhat) understand your policy of ending each level as small mario, getting hit later in 4-1 would have saved you lots and lots of time you now spend waiting for those flowers to vanish in the pipes. 4) In 4-1 you miss two shots with the fireballs. Maybe there's more, but this is what I've seen during my first look at it. Philip

Ok.. Getting the flower is 10 frames faster thgen getting a 1 up. Theres one spot where i shoot a fireball to send mario back a few pixels so i can jump off a hill. And yes, I have to work on getting around those plants too.

kinda odd seeing 1.0 put mario on the top with 3 up, and 1.1 put mario on the bottom to get fireflower. on the autoscroll level, maybe if you avoid invicible star and no-miss-shot to make it looks more impressive?

Not bad, but your world 2 is also improvable. I get the same times as you in world 1, but world 2 I get 358 for 2-1 (same) 364 for 2-2 (1 better) and 365 for 2-3 (2 better). On 2-1 it looks like you had trouble the same place as me, but you got through by taking a hit. In 2-2 I never had to slow down, but you lose momentum a couple times. 2-3 is forced scroll most of the way, but in the end you need to make sure you touch that...whatever it is behind the boss as soon as you can. I will try to do world 3 small but it looks like it would be helpful to get the fire flower at the end of world 3 to use on the plants that are right in the way. Notice that you lose some momentum when you let loose a fireball, it seems to cost 5 frames a shot. However, even with that it will still be a win to shoot those plants. It may also be worthwhile in world 3 to ignore the spikes at even one of the spots. Edit: Yes, definitely picking fireball in world 3.

Oh, so it IS v1.1? Good, because my v1.0 ROM appears to be corrupt.

Well, I haven't checked my rom, but it's definitely the same as Vatchern's. Anyway, I've continued on, I had the even better idea of picking up a mushroom in 2-3 since it loses no time. However, being big makes it 6 frames slower to get up behind the giant seahorse, and it's no longer possible to kill him without losing time :( (because you need to destroy both rows of blocks). However, 3-1 went pretty well. I only had to wait for rocks twice. My clear time was 335. Here's the strategy for the rocks: First spiked pit jump and jump off the rock as soon as possible. This won't clear the whole distance by itself, but bouncing off the bullet bill makes up the difference. Second pit can be done just by jumping onto the rock and off again. Third pit is long, take your hit here. The invincibility time is more than enough to make it.

I thought of the first and third techniques while watching the video, but I didn't think of jumping off the rock while it was still high. Cool stuff!

Finished 3-2 with the timer reading 358. I had to slow down in two spots: once to get a mushroom so I could get hit later and a slight pause to deal with a nasty pack of spiders (where Vatchern takes a hit.) I save my hit for the spikes and the invincibility lets me run right through before the rocks barely come down. I started 3-3 and made it through the first platform series without stopping. I'm having trouble on the second though, just barely shy of making a jump. I'll try coming at it from a different angle, otherwise I'll have to wait a little here for the platforms to line up.
