Title: Super Mario Brothers Race
Post by: GreenKnight37 on March 06, 2006, 12:58:28 am: Wow....Any SMB fans have to check out this speed-run. What makes it unique is that its done by two people, at the same time, racing one another.

Definitely a cool video with a photo finish.

Only problem is that it's a fake, and he used an emulator to do it.

Here's the one of the guy playing the music on the piano blindfolded (http://www.ebaumsworld.com/mariopiano.html).

Post by: Franco on March 07, 2006, 04:11:56 pm: Oh thats a shame, certainly had me fooled, although I did think it was a bit TOO ridiculous.

Just out of interest, how did he fake it? Did he keep saving sections he had perfected and then splice them together?

Post by: Frosty on March 07, 2006, 08:02:53 pm: Yeah...a combination of save states and slowing the frame rate down. But, you have to have the whole thing memorized even with those things helping you...

Oh, and someone should link to that video of one guy playing both sides of an overhead shooter cabinet.

its the second level after he takes the secret warp pipe. The second pipe brings him to world 8, and 8-2 is the second level in that world (obviously)

The jump is one of the very first jumps in the level where he jumps Mario under/over the dropping spike guys. It's the first few seconds of the level, around 3:30 in the video. Rewind it and watch each screen seperately... you'll understand.
