If I remember correctly (I havn't played SMB3 in many years), crouching caused both your speed and character control to increase.
Either way this video is amazing. Simply amazing.
omg the one for the oringinal mario is horrible - the guy definetly cheated and loafed around a lot in the video. It could have been done in 75% of the time, that video just annoyed me. Now I'm watching the mario 3 vid again to get rid of the memory of that awful mario 1 one.
He was bunny hopping through the whole level, which is a pecurliarity of the quake engine (basicly invloves jumping repeatedly while using your strafe keys to keep you moving forward, because in quake you can move faster when you're in the air then on the ground). Thats how he gets going so fast.

Eh, you could very well be right. I'm just going by what I've heard (though I've seen the 1:37 video).
Regardless, that SMB3 run is incredible.
I remember speed runs for SMB and Ninja Gaiden 1 and 2 for the NES. Those were the days.
/Makes me want to get SMB3 for my GBA SP.

I think i may have some proof that this is fake....watch the time on the game very closely (the time left to complete the level)...most of the crazy parts where he's hopping around like a madman through the levels, the time stays still! but when he's doing normal stuff it goes as normal.....did anyone else notice this? looks like some good video editing to me....
btw...right click and save target as...here's another mirror for you

Nail on head.
Unless someone has absolutly irrefutable evidence this video is real, I call complete utter BS.
The time in the game itself isn't moving fast enough in the first few minutes of the video. It's completely standing still.
Another thing is when he's on that one air ship that is all just small platforms and jet engines, the ship is moving faster than it ever has in the game. Also, he made an impossible jump on one of the platforms, he actually hits it on the side, and then magically mario like, jumps again in mid air and makes it.
Also, when he's on the last tank level before the castle, he kills off some cannonballs with firepower.
I've never been able to do that.
This video isn't kosher, and until someone has a video with a camera of them actully playing the game on film, I won't believe these are real.
I do know there are speed runs in games, but this one just has too many errors, and nothing but a crappy quality video to back it up.
even if it is fake, it is entertaining to watch
and it is some good rom emulation recording/editing.... :beer:

I think it's real. It's entirely possible that when you're running at full speed (p meter full), the game time slows down. Watch the first 3 levels again. The game time only slows down when his p meter is full. Is there anyone that still has an nes and smb3 that can confirm this?
As for the airship, it DOES move that fast in the game and i did not see any impossible jumps. The times when he hits a platform from the side, he has not reached the top of his jump, so he keeps going up until he's over the platform. Nothing impossible about that.
And i'm quite certain he doesn't kill any cannonballs with firepower in the last tank level or any level.
I don't think this video is really that unbeleivable. He's only beating like 12 levels. He just has to plan out every jump, fireball, etc on every level, practice each level till he can do it fairly consitently, and then keep trying the whole thing like a million times till he gets it right. There's plenty of people hardcore enough to do that in the world.
Howdy, folks. As the guy who made the much less impressive Contra one, I'll try to answer some of your questions. First off, my main (volunteer) hosting went down, so most of the videos are not available. If anyone wants to help me out, email allharv@hotmail.com and just put "contra" somewhere in the subject. I reuploaded the Contra in 13 minutes video, but I don't have the space for the others.
Those of you who watched and enjoyed the Contra in 15 minutes video, I invite you to download the Contra in 13 minutes video instead. Videos
And as a final note for the doubters about the Mario vid, even though I'm just halfway through watching it, I enjoy it regardless of whether this person exploited glitches, etc. Much of what's done in that video requires a good deal of skill and/or raw knowledge about the game.
I sympathize since some people also questioned the authenticity of my video even though I said I didn't use any cheats, turbo buttons, etc. Some guy even claimed that I sped up the video, even though that could be easily refuted by comparing the video to a regular copy of the game.
See Contra notes: "In one-player, spread is the most practical weapon and is by far the most powerful in the game, not for its arc of fire, but for the raw number of bullets fired at once--5. That makes spread an even more effective close range weapon than laser; you may notice that I sometimes jump up or otherwise try to get closer to enemy targets while firing in order to inflict greater damage." Getting "R" adds rapid fire capability to whatever weapon you have, be it spread, fireball, etc.
Are you playing the 15 or 13 minute one? The 15 minute one is actually Windows Media 8, so get those codecs if you don't have them. The 13 minute one requires XviD or ffdshow.
(Based on that comment, I'm guessing you watched the 15 minute vid.) That's a result of the worse encoding by Windows Media Recorder. The frame rate wasn't as good as the 13 minute video, so there were weird artifacts where there's flickering and such in the game. As for the invincibility: time it and I'm sure you'll see that the length is the same as your copy of Contra.
Your memory is correct, and my version of the game is almost definitely the same as yours. This appearance (again, only in the 15 minute video) is because of the flickering in the game and a lower frame rate by the recorder. The newer video still has some strangeness, but you'll see the bubble guys appearing back and forth instead of mostly just one. In the video and in my game, the guys also only take damage when they come together. I keep firing to destroy the bubbles that they're shooting out.
Just to reiterate, you'll either need Windows Media 8 codecs or XviD/ffdshow to watch the video.Originally posted by: NoSkillz
how do you get the contra .avi file to work? I have the divx player from divx.com....but it won't open it.
