Speedrunning might be the most paradoxical form of video games. Players spend the most time on a game to spend the least time on a game.

[@iidoyila]

(that's not a paradox)

[@jonathanbarkins8480]

That's the same with anything where you want to be fast or efficient. 100m sprint, formula 1 racing, golf, speedcubing, even in most martial arts you usually want to finish your opponent as fast as possible. Speedrunning is anything but unique in that aspect.

[@da_pikmin_coder8367]

I'm honestly more surprised by how similar the All-Stars version is than I am by how different it is. I assumed it was rebuilt from the ground up, and everything from physics to enemy behavior would be slightly different. The fact that even something like the flagpole glitch is still possible, let alone has most the same setups, is mind blowing to me.

Fun fact at around 3:07 he says the original super Mario Bros is not continuable after you lose all your lives but few people know that when you lose all your lives in the original super Mario Bros if you hold down the start button until you hit the select screen then select the game again you can continue from where you left off

[@quintennial.]

While I do like this video, I do think it's very clickbaity as the thumbnail depicts SMB1 when it's really SMB1AS. As 4:53 has been proven physically impossible on SMB1, you're making people think some new discovery/framerule had been found, only to realize (in disappointment) its in all-stars, and I'm pretty sure everyone knows 4:53 is possible in all-stars.

[@Robe089]

Well yes but actually no,the vídeo says "SMB 4:53 Is possible *kinda*"

[@Arcsin27]

the fact that some iconic glitches like the flagpole glitch were left in reminds me of a question ive had for a while if someone were to code a game with speedrun glitches deliberately put in, such as knowingly putting a tiny gap in a wall, would that defeat the purpose? i mean part of speedrunning is to solve the puzzle of the fastest run, so would intentional glitches break that motive?

[@Krakorin]

Not really. At the end of the day the main purpose of a speedrun is finish the game the fastest way possible using both intentional and unintentional mechanics, at least in an any%. I don't see why something as a "intentional glitch" would defeat that purpose.

[@MetaKnight68]

Given the absolute gem of a game that Celeste is and the enduring popularity of its speedgame, no it would absolutely not break that motive if done right.

[@Galastan]

I'm honestly surprised that a lot of the same tech exists in both the original SMB1 and the All Stars version. You'd think that since it's running on an entirely different engine, stuff like pipe clips, the flagpole glitch, framerules, subpixels, and the 4-2 wrong warp would be complete non-factors or at least work very differently to the original. Hell, even the BBG still exists, though it isn't helpful like in the original. And the human limit for each game is within 1-2 seconds of each other! SMB1 in All Stars is a VERY faithful remake.

[@Nattegoya]

All Stars isn’t a remake per se, it’s actually closer to a remaster. It was built off of the original games’ source code. That’s why the physics are identical to the originals, the same glitches still work, etc, because they’re actually just the same games with a new coat of paint. The glitches that don’t work aren’t a result of an engine change or anything like that, it’s because they were manually patched out. The most notable gameplay difference is the brick physics in SMB1/Lost Levels, which was actually a mistake on the developers’ part.

pal tas is barely 4:51, but it uses many tricks known as "full flagpole glitches", which involves the following inputs: L R L+A R. since pal runs at 50 fps, youll need 5 inputs within a span of 0.08 seconds. afaik this trick had only been performed by a human once, so getting several of these in a row in a speedrun will not happen for a long time with the current knowledge.

Same game (with very minor changes), same exact category in terms of objectives and rules, basically the same time. Dont be pedantic, theres so many worse examples of clickbait. The comparison is relevant to discussion.

[@Krithalith]

@@floppydysk The games are nearly identical in the context of casual play. In the context of speedrunning and second barriers, they are completely different. This is why they are different categories on speedrunning leaderboards. The original Super Mario Bros is by far the most popular and well-known version, which is why the title is deceptive. Storster knows this and uses this to get more views (i.e. clickbait). It's like making a video titled "The day a 3:30 mile was run (kinda)" and it's about a country where they have a slightly shorter mile and there's a runner there who did that mile in 3:30. It's technically correct but misleading and disingenuous.

[@dymnix7133]

@@Krithalith 100% agree, from a speedrunning perspective they are completely different games. Storster discusses as much when he mentions things like their unique physics or the plant hitboxes. Even the thumbnail makes it seem like he's talking about the NES version.
