Beat Super Mario Brothers III in 11min flat!
I hope this hasn't been posted before and i hope this belongs in GD.
A friend of mine forwarded me this url. Its a video of a someone passing SMB3 in 11 minutes flat.
I found it hard to believe that it was actually a person playing the game, except for the fact that he doesn't get the third star to get 5 extra lives. that seems human.
Its an interesting video nevertheless.

I know i know, but VLC plays it without any problems.
this HAS to be a computer...
If it is a person, I'm betting on savestates. It's gotta be a combination of lots and LOTS of savestates.
hell, at 11 min. to completion, it's not like he couldn't have gone through it all a few times.
there were very human moves in there, IMO. impressive, although not sure what good it's going to do you.
most gals aren't too impressed when you're bragging about how fast you are compared to all the other guys.
2. Made me remember how awesome a game that is and was

Indeed.
FWIW, I read on another forum that someone realized it was actually several videos spliced together. I ran it through Rosetta and it automagcally split into 37 segments.

maybe so, but think how good he is with his fingers, i'm sure that would impress some gals

Oh man I have not heard that word since I worked at an IT departement at some school.

I have Panther and have no clue what VLC is. When I clicked on the link, it looked like Oriental computer language--something like fowtran--
as for the video's authenticity, I've seen it a few times, and certainly there were parts that were very very very difficult to believe he didn't use a speed/low grav cheat, but I have seen some crazy video game feats before. I would have liked to have seen a split screen movie, with a camera on the guys controller and a camera on the game, like in the Tetris finals video.
Super mario world, that was my game...although I never got 100%...I got like 94% or something like that. I did once beat it in about 30 minutes though, dunno how that would rank up in a competition of japanese super gamers, but I was pleased with it.
SNES is in my opinion the best console ever.
so many awesome games.

The text showed up in VLC, or the browser?
What browser are you using, because in Camino, i know that clicking links that should be downloaded doesn't always work. Camino often tries to open them as text, and it does look a bit like "oriental computer language"
If it did open as text in the browser, right click the link and save it to disk then open with vlc (you can find vlc on versiontracker.com).

Aaaaaanyway. . . The 6502 wasn't too fast, especially with all the interrupts flying all over the place (as there are in SMB3). I wonder if this would even be possible on an actual nintendo. Often times, the video gets shaky in games with intense graphics.
