Beating Super Mario Bros. with No Sight/Sound, Only Chat

Finally went back at it trying to beat Super Mario Bros. with only Twitch chat's help. I knew I would be in for a tough time trying to beat world 8, but I did not expect 8-1 to be this hard. It's such a long stage and with so many pits you can fall in. I was hoping to beat the rest of the game that day, but I spent 8 hours just on this stage! I'll be trying again on Wednesday, September 9th at 8pm EDT. Come join!

Prinegon Bevaris This is awesome, but it would’ve been EVEN MORE impressive if he was able to pull this off _without_ the chat.

[@windsunh2o]

14 minutes? You did some major editing on this one! I watched the entire 8 hour stream and your stamina is unreal. We'll get it on Wednesday!

[@Engage_lol]

That must be so frustrating when you know exactly what to do but you just can't do it since you have no clue how long 1 frame is like in "real life" lol Blindfolded must be so free once you experienced this too

[@eftorq]

Bazippo I think top level players can feel the length of frames. I've read that Melee players can feel if the game is off by a fraction of a frame, when played on emulator. It's insane to think about how they hit 1/60 of a second on a consistent basis

[@Engage_lol]

@@eftorq There is a difference between knowing what a frame is when looking at the game and what a frame is with no visual or audio cue

[@DagothXil]

Something I'd love to see - I guess you can't do it for these anymore but maybe lost levels someday(?) - is a video where we get to see your reactions when you watch back through these blind challenges seeing how you played for the first time.

[@Recordable2000]

Thank you so Much Kosmic for Always making SMB Fun!

[@JMPDev]

Definitely would help if you pause more frequently in critical sections to allow chat to help you correct your trajectory, since the game state can change so quickly if you unpause for even a full .5 seconds.

[@mungodude]

I love blind Mario, this was a lot of fun to watch! I'll try and be there for the next session - I think 8pm Wednesday EDT is midnight Thursday UTC, which should be noon Thursday NZST

[@ultra_exists]

Hey Kosmic great streams and videos as always

[@ultra_exists]

Like seriously, the amount time and effort you put into things like the MMM, subathon, and your regular streams is astounding

[@csucskos]

Slowly it'll be easier to just practice blindfolded. :D This is a huge task, but we believe in you. GOGOKOSMIC!

This dudes amazing. No more new speedruns, do some amazing stuff with the game itself! Mad respect dude.
