Wow

That was almost more amazing than the Metroid one. While the first levels were nice, since he went so fast, the jumping on the bombs later.... wow. Though, I must admit that I was not surprised to see that it was the Japanese version of the game, not that there is anything wrong with that....

..damn.

Just.. damn. Though I wish they'd shown what happened after Bowser was killed, since I never finished World 8.

The mushroom

I thought at first that he'd made a single mistake when he got the mushroom at the end of the level (i.e. star, star, mushroom and got one extra life instead of five). However, on another site someone pointed out that the animation for getting three stars would take several unnecessary seconds, so no, this run is without mistakes. 0_O

Same Vein

Own-age

This seems to be largely for FPS games, but it's still pretty interesting.

Notice...

Almost all of the "recent referrers" right now came looking for moSMB3.wmv. We're a mirror!

Faded dreams...

I've come to find out that this was done on an emulator at 1/30 the speed along with the ability to back up if mistakes were made. It would be incredible if someone could actually perform this but the REAL genius is how perfectly and efficiently the game is played. Hundreds of hours of study went into this still. I'd like to see someone do this live.
