​@@SheckoVex even better question, how the fuck did nobody notice that that one sprite of Mario at 6:17 right next to the Lakitu cloud has enough cake to end world hunger.

[@EvilCherry3]

This is not "all attempts" for sure. Many times we see only 1 or 2 deaths on a very difficult obstacle even though you show plenty of deaths/imprecisions on easy parts. Also, especially at the beginning, you show many runs that are several seconds late which you continued without resetting. I've never seen any speedrunner continue a run when they're already 3 seconds late after 10 seconds of gameplay. It's understandable that removing (and adding) some runs will save processing time (make a nicer final video to watch), but then you should mention it somewhere. Anyway, great work and nice result ! :)

[@wrestlerx8494]

@@JustsomeSteve supposedly the framerules have something to do with when you press start on the start screen which could determine where enemies appear in a frame because enemies are on a timer that restarts every frame cycle. I.E. if you press start at the beginning of a frame cycle, then enemies will probably appear slightly sooner when you enter a frame than they would if you press start a or near the end of a frame cycle. I assume you think that is happening here because enemies are showing at different points on the screen, but that is probably just because the Marios themselves are at different points on the screen, so the enemies are not showing until whenever the Marios show.

[@JustsomeSteve]

@@wrestlerx8494 The "Framerule is just, that the game refreshes every 21 frames; that window is considered a frame rule. This means that when Mario reaches the end of a level, how quickly the next level loads will depend on where he is in the frame rule; a player who reaches the end on frame 3 and a player who reaches the end on frame 19 will both be on the same frame rule. Thus Mario's will walk together, at the end of the level, on every Framerule (every 21 frames) into the next level. I just think it's a great visualization of that Framerule. :)

[@wrestlerx8494]

@@JustsomeSteve ok. Because there is a glitch in this game with a Bullet Bill that I think appears in level 8-2 and for that players supposedly wait on the start screen at the beginning of the game until a certain point to press start which is apparently needed to set up that glitch later in the game. My guess was due to the enemies being on a timer based on the frame it's on when you press start, you have to press start on a certain frame to allow the Bullet Bill to appear underneath Mario at exactly the right time to do the glitch AND do it in the least amount of time.

[@CristianConsonni]

idea: if you are able to pinpoint on each level map the point where a run dies you could create a quantitative heatmap of the most difficult points in the game. In other words, we could go from saying "1-1 is so difficult to do fast enough that only X% of runs go through" to be able to say that for specific points in the game. See the infamous Koopa jump in 1-2. That was a slaughter!

[@The_Bad_Guy.]

I totally get your point but I don't think a speed run would be a good indicator of how hard the game is. Because he's sacrificing basically all strategy to win in exchange for speed. Like skipping all power ups and attempting jumps with a very low chance of success because in speed runs that's what you have to do.

Looks like he lost 1000x by missing the pipe on 1-1 and resetting, then gave up another 700 times before the flag (-1800). But going from 3300 lives to under 1000 (-2300) on 1-2 shows how dangerous that level is for a speed run! Next level brought him down to 137 survivors (-800). So after that 55 lives (-82) doesn't seem so bad. Finally we got 32 (-50) going into Bowser's Castle for a finale of 12 (-20). Naturally, he might have practiced these later levels so he'd be more successful when doing a speed run from the beginning.
