Speedrun Tutorial: How to Beat Super Mario Bros. in Under 5 Minutes

You could actually try and switch to spanish, which the other guy, who answered you, suggested, but I only heard a couple people saying it helped and my friend, who really is into speedrunning this game, says he thinks english lays way better your hands and the buttons are easier to reach, but I guess you could try it out.

virtual console is slower? that moment an nes game has better framerate

Original hardware usually does. Pc emulators can go faster because they are heavier hardware but console emulators are poorly optimized

TheToasterbox hey so would the nes classic loose time too?

[@masonblase]

TotallyNotDoggo No. the NES classic’s emulation is pretty much the same as the NES

[@iBall1]

NES classic looses around .6 compared to an NES on a sub 5 run so it would be slower.

[@wyansas]

Does it matter how you hit the axe? I imagine the axe's hitbox is square like everything else, so it would be faster to hit the front edge than the top. But it would kinda suck to have a perfect run and then lose a couple of frames because you hit the top of the axe, especially if Bowser's pattern necessitates it.

[@Kosmicd12]

You want to hit the axe as far left as possible and will lose 1 frame for each pixel farther to the right you land on it. There are about 4 spots you can land on the axe without losing any time.

[@wyansas]

Sweet thanks for the quick reply.

[@Plazix999]

If anybody’s reading this comments six years after the video. I have a setup for the first 8-1 pipe jump. Once you get in between the first vertical and horizontal parts on the gate you can do a full jump to get by the two trees, if you do another full jump here you can jump on the back of the pipe with a slightly tight timing.

If anyone is having trouble with the 1-2 smallest jump, I recommend using two fingers like a keyboard and put your index finger on B and middle finger on A. Then flick your middle finger downwards, almost like scraping the A button. It helps a lot. 👍

[@charlesidiot4534]

When I try to do this 3 bump method lately, I think that it is cool to do it like the way you demonstrate faster, but do the last bump to the next pile of ? blocks. Sometimes I just cannot see our favorite red plumber hitting the wall, but he did move right. Also, I find it very difficult to do the second jump to the pipe and I often hit the pipe and get eaten by the plant.

[@dersupertoast5187]

@Gold Raven yeah

[@YamatoTorisu]

Fun fact: once Mario starts swimming in a direction, he'll keep swimming in that direction without you holding a directional input. For example, once Mario swims right a few times, you don't have to hold down right. He'll still swim forward even if you keep pressing the A button. This can be useful for going under the fire bar where the ground is in 8-4 water, as well as walking to the pipe. Just note that Mario maintains his current acceleration while swimming without direction, so once you touch the ground you'll have to press right to swim at top speed again.

[@coltmills8585]

It's a trick I use all the time, and sometimes whenever I play a newer Mario game I let go of the d-pad and then forget that you can only use that trick in the older games.

How to pass super mario bros in 5 minutes: have pizza, coke and a lava lamp

[@TungTran-ne3me]

if killing the hammer bros in the entry of 8-3 is hard, you can actually bump into the pipe and go the bottom route while the hammer bros are in the middle and top route. Play as usual until the next 3 - route ( idk what its called) take the bottom route as the hammer bros jump from the bottom route to the middle one as you got close to it. Play the rest of the level as usual and in the end, you dont need to slow down or bump into the block, just do a little jump onto the last block, do a full jump, grab the top of the flagpole ( since you already slowed down by bumping into the pipe) I just discovered that today and hope you find this useful
