I think he might have gained invincibility from the 3 stars he picked up (in the lower right of the screen) I don't know, I haven't played the game before.

Anyway I don't see why its so tough?! I can get from the Gallery to Wasteland in 2 seconds but I don't see anyone dissing me!

Ooh this has given me a few pointers! I have the NES and Mario 3 nestled in my drawer downstairs.

*Breaks out dated console*

A few points though, when he uses the magic whistle he gets to the Worlds 2,3 and 4 select bit. But then when he uses the second one he skips straight to World 8. My recollection is that you would only move to the World 5,6 and 7 bit. I haven't played for a while though...

Oh and Mario keeps getting one ups for nailing the bombs. I don't remember that happening! Still an enjoyable watch...

you do get the one ups if you continuesly jump on enemys without touching the floor you could do it the first one but it was much harder. The enemys will always appear at the exact same time at the exact same position everytime you play the game so its a case of playing it heaps till you have memorised the timings.
As far as i have read with this it is kind of fake, the guy slows the game down to 1/30 of the origonal speed and it wasnt all recorded in one go. Basically he just wanted to show the perfect way to complete mario 3 and so spent a while perfecting all the jumps and re-recording himself all the way. Again from as far as i know it wasnt played on a nes either i think it was done on the Famacom which is coded slightly differently to the nes so some of the stuff you see in the vid wouldnt be possible on the british game but on the jap versions.
He has done this to a few games before, i think he did mega man and ghosts and gouls. Awesome to watch!

Dunno. The way he moves between enemies is a fraction faster than I think i could do in the circumstances of knowing the game as well as him, so having it slowed down to 1/30 would surely make him see the enemies before we can on this video...

I think we're all looking into this too much.

Really though, its impossible to ever REALLY know if this is the original










so lets all just say that it is.

i don't think he picked up 3 star cards, cause that would slow him down when he got the extra lives for them at the end of the third level.

not true read his web site and you will no all about how he did it.
Yes he did slow the game down to 1/30 speed using an emulator and why would him slowing the game down mean the enemys would appear quicker?
