Spot the Error [locked]

2005-05-07 09:31:57 pm

Can you spot the error in Trevor's Mario run?

Radix tell us the answer after a few guesses.

I believe it is either near the end of world 8 at the flag pole or in the middle of world 8 near the star where he slows up a bit.

Three possibilities here:

1) The guest is just some random troll or something
2) The error is in gameplay (there is one, rather obvious I think, where at the end of 8-3 he doesn't jump and runs into the brick at the bottom of the flagpole)
3) The error is in capturing/technical stuff.

I'm pretty sure he does that to avoid the fireworks.

Consider that I wrote in the update "Trevor was hesitant to release it because of a mistake... that you'll probably barely notice!" and I think you'll figure out which it is.

Hmm, 4-2 is my guess...

First I don't know why he jumps at the 1-block space...

And after that it looks like he pressed A too fast on touching the floor after hitting the vine block causing (ach - no vDub on this machine) a third of a second delay before getting airborne again? Less?

Veni, Vidi, Vici.

I gotta agree, looks like he ran into the brick in 8-3 as his mistake.

no, if he didnt hit that brick, to stop for that second, he would have gotten 3 fireworks, so thats not his mistake

Its in 1-2, where he jumps against the ceiling but could have just not jumped. Or...Maybe not Tongue

I love YaBB 1G - SP1!

You know a run is good when you just can't find a mistake.

The man made of sticks

I thought it was the end of 8-3 as well, until I read the comment about the fireworks. It's something very small, something only the person who spent the most time running the game would actually notice or even care about.

Excellent run, all the same.

It looked pretty flawless to me, but here are a few guesses:

0:48 - slows down a little when jumping between the koopa and the goombas when it might be possible not to
1:58 - hesitates for a split-second to jump into the invisible block
2:29 - slows down for a split-second. Could just be my imagination, though.
4:35 - forgot to hold B to run for a second?
4:40 - was a little slow in jumping onto the block
4:57 - touched the ground (underwater) where it might theoretically be possible not to

Roboticus is Champion!

Could it be the fact that he hits the block to access the pipe, rather than accessing it by bouncing off the paratroopa?

What about on 8-1. Is it faster to go into a pipe than run the whole thing?

I figured it out. Hint: Watch the very start of the movie.

Uhh . . . it says 'GAME OVER' at the start?! Hell, I don't know. Huh?

Veni, Vidi, Vici.

8-2, I think.

He jumping over the pirahna plant pipes, and one of them he lands on instead of jumping entirely over.

That, or 8-4, when he hits the invisible blck to jump into the pipe, he heads back left to far and skids to turn around.

He lost 1 time unit in the coin room in 1-1, 1 time unit while climbing up to the vine in 4-2, 2 time units when he was going to the floating pipe in 8-4, and 1 time unit when he went into the pipe after the lava pit.
