Quoted here because the page loads really slow

I'm sorry for those, like me, who felt that the Mario 3 video was one of the most amazing things they have ever seen. Truth be told, the video is fake.

There proof comes straight from the horses mouth. At the end of the video, there are url's to two different websites. The soramimi.egoism.jp one is the one with the proof. The site is in Japanese, but a translation done exposes the truth.

I QUOTE: ZURU is carried out. It is dropping and moving by the emulator till 1/30 second. Save and loading are repeated and recorded during movie record.
When a mistake is saved and made before a dangerous place, it is touch called loading. The translation is poor, but you get the point.

The video was done on an emulator FRAME by FRAME, with constant usage of save states to correct any errors. The only true feat in the whole video is that a person actually took the time to map out every level and know the patterns for all the enemies. Actually performing the task of playing took little skill, however.

The guy that did the video never actually meant for everyone to believe it was a person playing in real time. He also says: I think I am sorry very much so that the dream of the pure person who considered may be ruined.
It should have written beforehand. and I am very sorry to people considered to be a play by people's hand seriously


Also in the translation, it states that it took the guy 2 years to do it. The Japanese must have a lot of free time on their hands.


For a full transcript of the translation (although it is loose), here is a link

what's this in regards too? did someone claim to have beaten mario 3 in an extremely short time?

Yeah, someone beat Mario 3 in 11 minutes with zero mistakes. It was like that perfect pacman game.

I saw that video... and to think this whole time I thought it was some crazy japanese guy:(

That video was honestly insane.. I'm rather disappointed that it is a fake. ;P

[GRITS]

Awwww bummer:(

[Gwarsbane]

ya it ticked me off too. But either way its still a pretty cool video :)

I dont see how you could beat in 11 minutes period. First you would have to get the two whistles so you can automatically warp to the last world. The last world takes forever! I cant even beat the last world in under half an hour probably, nm the whole thing in 11 minutes.

Well if it was true, the good would make a pretty good rico player, with all the jumping and eating of mushrooms. ;)

[Wha?]

Ah, but it's been proven possible. It's actually more likely that somebody will do it now, because the moves are out in the open.

assuming the timeing is right on the moves and stuff, but im sure there will be people to try it.

The most amazing part about the video is the fact that he goes into Bowser's castle with 99 lives, all from points. :blink:
