Mario 3 beaten in 11 minutes – imsold4christ

Imsold4christ Member Posts: 305 From: Gresham, OR, US Registered: 01-20-2001	This has been all over the Internet for the past 3 weeks, just thought I'd mention it here. Some dude beat mario 3 in 11 minutes and made a movie of it. It is incredible beyond description. Go watch it, now. http://media.ebaumsworld.com/moSMB3.wmv If you don't have fast internet, I recommend you right click on the link and just do "save as.." since obviously you won't be able to watch it very well with streaming. †Caleb† ------------------ "True friendship is not characterized by the absence of conflict, but by the ability to resolve conflict."

I don't wonder if he used any cheats - that was unbelievably perfect! The person had those levels memorized. ------------------ There are only 10 types of people - those who understand binary, and those who don't. Switch Mayhem now available!

The whisles have been known about for ages- also if anyone spends enough time just sitting and playing one domb game long enough they can get that good. Personaly I see it as a sad outlook to the mantality of the people of our time. If only such devotion could be put into spreading the good news ~Angel~

Imsold4christ Member Posts: 305 From: Gresham, OR, US Registered: 01-20-2001	Yes, in my opinion, Mario 3 is the best game ever created for 8-bit nintendo. Angel: The guy used a lot more than whistles to get through the game quickly. He almost literally flew through the entire game. I'd say he spent more time in the air than on the ground, in fact - what with him bouncing off of enemies everywhere. It would take MONTHS of doing NOTHING but playing mario 3 (no work, no school) to get to being able to do it as well as this guy did it. Granted, it would be a total waste of time, as you said, but, you have to admit that the movie was at least cool to see. Yes, it's sad that someone went to all this trouble, but just lighten up and enjoy it will ya? ------------------ "True friendship is not characterized by the absence of conflict, but by the ability to resolve conflict."

Also I still am not impressed If the guy did it to get attention to tell others about Christ then I would be impressed. I have the same view about everything. That includes things I do. If my book makes it big I will be useing the funds to get the news about God out. If you remmember the old music fights done here about who was best. I absolutly was neveer impressed or cared about secular music. Christian music kicks the hell out of any of that crap. Well I hope thats all clear enough. Again not mad or upset- just simply not impressed ~Angel~
Imsold4christ Member Posts: 305 From: Gresham, OR, US Registered: 01-20-2001	Angel: Hmm, interesting. Very well, I can accept that. All: I have been purposefully withholding the fact that the guy who did this used an emulator that was running at 1/30th the actual game speed. I wanted to see what kind of commentary would spring up, but apparently there aren't as many people who care as I thought there were. Since the topic is almost dead now anyway, I just thought I'd let you guys know. Yes, sorry, it does kind of ruin the awe that is inspired when watching the movie, but, seriously, who could really do that? And besides, it would still take a lot of practice to do all that stuff even at 1/30th the normal speed. †Caleb† ------------------ "True friendship is not characterized by the absence of conflict, but by the ability to resolve conflict."

Imsold4christ Member Posts: 305 From: Gresham, OR, US Registered: 01-20-2001	BibleGamer, you're fired. We're talking about Mario 3 from ORIGINAL NINTENDO (NES). You know, like the thing that came before Super Nintendo (SNES). If you had actually watched the video clip, you would've figured this out for yourself and not had to ask the question. Go watch it, it's cool. †Caleb† ------------------ "True friendship is not characterized by the absence of conflict, but by the ability to resolve conflict."

In fact, has less power than the GBA, despite being a console (GBA is a little more powerful than Super Nintendo, I think). That's how old it is . ------------------ There are only 10 types of people - those who understand binary, and those who don't. Switch Mayhem now available!

They have all the nes games ever playable there (it was around 1263 or somehting in that region) and also several special rooms with interviews and special features---it is called LevelX and I am not sure how long it is running, but it is now in its second week. Man, I really wished I lived in Japan!!!!!!!!!!!! ------------------ Ignorance is bad, if you have it you will not have a good time.
