Impossible, I hear you say.

Or maybe not! (18Mb)

That's pretty damn old but it's still amusing - I like to imagine I can hear hoards of co-ordination challenged kids crying into their gamepads at their inability to finish the game as I watch it.

It's not hard to complete mario 3 quickly.

Collect 2 warp whistles and use them.

Is the Japanese version the same as the UK version as I can't remember the end but I don't know if I completed it or not.

we're talking 12 minutes though, with a surplus life amount of 300 and not dying even once (being hit twice)

From what I have read this is faked.
The video was done using a emulator of the game on a PC and the counter is slowed down.
Its a shame cos it was rather cool to see when I first saw it a few years ago.
A few opinions on it

How would that work? As fair as I could see, the timing was done properly; the video lasts 11 and a bit minutes. There's no timer on the game. UNless you mean they sped up the game? It did seem a bit fast sometimes. Or have I missed something?

the emulator thing would work. you could just pause it after each bit you got right, like every 3 seconds until you got every single thing perfect.

As far as I know it is possible to pause the timer meaning the actual run time of the game, I havent checked it anytime recently but apparently you see the game animation slowing down in parts and speeding up, giving the impression that it is being tampered with.
Using an emulator they can basically dictate what they want to do within the game by coding and the like.
