[TAS] NES Super Mario Bros. 2 "warps" by Aglar & andrewg in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/...
TAS originally published on 2011-01-21
Super Mario Bros 2 is one of our most competed games. This movie is Aglar ( tasvideos.org/... ) and Andrewg ( tasvideos.org/... )'s improvement of 00:10.73 seconds over adelikat ( tasvideos.org/... ) and Cardboard ( tasvideos.org/... )'s attempt ( tasvideos.org/... ) to perfect this route.
This time, the authors found new glitches to get to the end faster.
If you are wondering how some of the tricks in this video work, see the Super Mario Bros. 2 tricks ( tasvideos.org/... ) page.
You can also see this movie played back on an actual NES ( • NESBot: Super Mario Br... ).
Runs for the GBA version ( tasvideos.org/... ) and SNES version ( tasvideos.org/... ) are available, as well.

WARNING: There are flashing lights during Rocket explosions (at 2:12 and 5:47 in the encodes) which may cause epileptic seizures to those affected.

I thank the stars that this isn’t the GBA version. Toad’s constant yelling would make me want to chop off my ears

"ALL RIGHTY! GO GO METRO!" At least that's what I thought he was saying when I was 8

This one and Sunshine we're the most unorthodox Mario games I ever played.

[@jondoe6618]

Because mario 2 wasn't really a mario game. It is still fun though.

[@Recon-cv1fe]

@@jondoe6618 Oh yeah it was fun; I just meant it's overall gameplay was "different"

[@c.c.content2439]

8:45 so Mario slept through a dream where he did absolutely nothing. Not a single thing.

Very old technique, but it require up+down inputs, which is why it is not used in real time runs.

What? in just seconds (microseconds) out of nowhere I change the title. going from "SMB2 warps" to a simple and ordinary Mario Bros 2 tas. What the fuck? what the hell is going on here? PD: My English is ok.

[@ezgames6925]

That’s just a placeholder title before the actual video gets unlisted, which should automatically update the title that you see now. It’s been slow to update as of late for some reason.

[@Damaniel3]

I'm pretty familiar with the RTA speedrun, but what's up with those zips in 6-3/7-1? EDIT: Just looked it up. Requires simultaneous press of Up, Down, Left and Right so definitely TAS-only.

SMB1 speedruns are ~0.4 seconds slower than TAS. Well SMB2U is another thing

[@zzasdfwas]

What is the point of entering and immediately exiting subcon?

[@wateriswet0510]

the TAS does this twice, in 1-1 and 1-2, in 1-1 this is done so that a pow block can be stuck in Toad's head, this has the same effect as Toad carrying the object except he can now take it to other rooms, the same applies for 1-2, the TAS enters subcon to get the vegetable stuck in Toad's head, once he exits subcon he can go to Birdo's room with the vegetable, he then uses the vegetable to kill Birdo almost instantly

[@msophos]

Ah yes, I love watching toad become a 6-dimensional god.

[@healinghands884]

How do you midair jump?

[@literallylegendary6594]

If you jump right before you would be hit by an enemy then the game will let you jump again. This is most easily done as Luigi.

[@_koreahorror]

[@literallylegendary6594]

How come the world record is so far behind?

[@singlereedenjoyer]

The TAS uses l+r strats and also does stuff that isn’t humanly possible.

[@thebishopoldchannel76]

Why exactly can you change char mid game again

[@Blueniter]

Luigi is the character that jump the longest and highest which makes you jump through some levels. Toad ability is to lift super fast items and throw.

[@thebishopoldchannel76]

@@Blueniter i wasn't asking what each one does, i'm asking why you are given the char selection menu again occasionally

[@xxEzraBxxx]

@@thebishopoldchannel76 This is a reskin of Doki Doki Panic, in that game you could only choose 1 character per world, that was changed when this game was reskined. The same thing is also done in Super Mario 3D World
