When it comes down to .3 seconds, you'd better make sure you're starting and stopping the timer at the right times.

MarioKart64.com biotch!

That is pointless because the differance isn't even noticable so don't bother.

not worth publishing, maybe.

worth notifying Twin Galaxies about? YES.

Since when was it ever worth notifying TG?

they keep all world records. this breaks the world record... (doesnt it?)

err... maybe not...

I'd say it's definitely worth sending it in to SDA.

Sorry but you have to break something by a whole second unless it's a game that times things to fractions.

But a new record on Mario Kart 64 was only 0,01 second faster. So why shall not this record be sent in?

Yeah, I said it.

Andrew's been keeping us at TG updated about his quest for the SMB record for a while now. He claims to have tied the record, and if he has, then he'll be the co-record holder at 5:09 once his tape is verified. Simply tying the record doesn't necessarily mean it isn't good enough; at TG, you can have any score or time verified and listed, including second-place scores, third-place times, etc. That's one of the reasons it's worth notifying TG about your accomplishments, Ekarderif.

Well, you have to make sure you aren't violating their "rules" first. For example, in TMNT, it is forbidden to eat the same pizza more than twice (by exiting and re-entering the level).

Yeah, I said it.

The only TG rules that would affect an SMB speedrun is that you can't do wall jumps or alternate pipe glitches. No big loss.

You can do the wall jumps here... but what's thie pipe glitch?

Ekarderif

2005-05-22 07:58:09 pm

Your almighty lordship

It's possible to warp with pipes into different locations. The most infamous example is using the first pipe in 4-2 to warp to the warp area, as demonstrated by the emurape.

yeah...i have seen it :P.

But it´s a little bit boring...the Super mario bros WR! is it possible to even get 05:08?

It's very possible, just very hard, it's also possible to get 5:07, and with the wall jump probably 5:06, but I can't remember exactly how much the wall jump saves.

Lucid Faia

2005-05-22 09:02:43 pm

Yeah, I said it.

The alternate pipe glitch is basically a teleportation glitch, which means Radix wouldn't like it.

I think 5:08 under TG timing rules is possible, though very difficult to reach. I'm not sure about 5:07. 5:07 seems to be the time for a run that's theoretically perfect by human standards.

It's very possible that PAL runs at "PAL speed"...

Hi! I'm andrewg!

hey everyone! well i can get a 5:08 i mean i was only off by like .2 seconds or so. too bad i cant send in the video. i hope trevor doesnt beat me to it. if he sends in a 5:08, theres no way i will get a video of me on SDA. i think i will get a 5:08 by summer, but im not sure. a 5:08 is easily possible i just messed up on level 8-1 by one game unit. if i hadnt done that, i would have gotten a 5:08.8. also if i did 4-2 a little faster, i could get a 5:08.4. a 5:07.9 or a little more would be the perfect time by twingalaxies rules, except for one thing. if i somehow got good at that trick where youn start off the level backwards and jump forwards on level 8-3 saving 2 game units or about .8 seconds then a 5:07 is possible but highly unlikely. i did not cheat and i followed twingalaxies rules tying trevor's record. now i'm just going to make another copy of it on VHS and send one to twingalaxies and keep the other for myself. once i get a 5:08 or a 5:07, i will ask again about giving my tape to SDA, but i would have to put the VHS to DVD i guess.

You can send a tape to nate and include money and the TG form and he'll forward it to them.

Hi! I'm andrewg!

i could probably just try to make a smb2 and 3 run and send it to SDA. i could probably get the smb3 record and i dopnt know if SDA would want a smb2 run, if not then i will just work on smb3 i guess.
