[TAS] SNES Super Mario All-Stars: Super Mario Bros. 3 "playaround" by Genisto in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/1035M
TAS originally published on 2007-12-25
Taking a break from the usual goal of pure speed, Genisto ( tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/G... ) instead decides to break Super Mario Bros. 3 from the Super Mario All-Stars pack. This run demonstrates programming errors, abuse of the game engine and commits suicide in ways most people have never even considered.
Mario plays through all 8 worlds in a fashion similar to a warpless run.

14:02 the music sync here was brilliant

This can't be even be called a speedrun.

[@KingofJ95]

@@ballsxan Yes it can, because it's timed.

[@nthgth]

@@KingofJ95 what are the stipulations for this one? Any% with 74.291% fun factor allowance?

[@PROPLAYEN]

@@nthgth It's playaround% the rules are you must make it as fun to watch as you can.

[@DualityStrikes]

Playaround% are essentially "Do as many cool tricks as possible as fast as possible". It can be done for fun, but also can be used to tutor speedrunners on tricks that may be useful in certain parts of the game to save time

This tas is awesome and here is why... It's fun as hell. I love it when people do tas just (as the title says) playaround, they do tricks and glitches for the fun of it, taking time, making swag things, showing interesting things and all of that. I apreciate the speed, the glitches for the sake of speedruning but, I will always love the fun you can have with examples like this.

[@PythonVrOfficial]

I never knew that if you die in a toad house the world 7 theme plays

[@joshfish2]

Yeah, I wonder why that happens? I do understand the programming uses memory code to refer to different sprites and tiles, which is how you get those TAS speedruns like Super Mario World being completed in like 1 minute, by triggering the end screen in Yoshis Island level 2, but still wondering the exact methodology of why world 7 theme plays in an area you're not supposed to die in.

[@joshfish2]

[@guardianguy6986]

The moonwalking effect is from holding left and right at the same time

[@chaoskiller6084]

Oh yeah, games freak out when pressing left and right at the same time, you just can't do it on original hardware because the controller doesn't support it

[@Ninetails2000]

There's a similar effect in SMB2/USA where pressing up and down at the same time while climbing will make your character skyrocket up.

[@ReverendTed]

I was wondering if I was being trolled by the 99 coins you'd been sitting at since 53:55, then 1:03:17 confirmed it. And then 1:03:26 is the icing on the cake.

[@FIRESTAR56566]

Why does the world 7 music play when mario "dies" at the toad house?

[@NanamiGaming205]

In the world 1 also mario dies in the toad house

[@mobihedgehog]

CatPublishingStudios I don’t know. That was very unnecessary for the World 7 music to play

[@Ninetails2000]

Mario isn't supposed to die there, so the game is a bit confused.

[@qsyki]

i dont have perfect memory but from what i remember, the world map and actual levels use different sound banks and in the world map sound bank the world 7 theme is in place of the death sound. as a result, on death the game attempts to load the death sound, but since the world 7 theme took place of it in the world map sound bank, it uses that instead i dont know why the toad house isnt a level. i just dont know

[@holeinoneluigi4783]

@@qsyki I did some research and the Toad House music you hear is a separate music track from the P Switch theme, although completely identical. The reason the World 7 music plays when you die in a toad house is because the game doesn’t update to the correct sound bank (as you said) when entering a Toad House or Spade Panel (for reasons idk). The World 7 theme just happens to be the same ID as the death theme, which is why it plays.

[@KruhlSentru]

Too bad the TASer didn't get in the frog suit easter egg, too, but at least I got to see a lot more hammer bros suit use this time. XD Honestly, SMB3 has my favorite iteration of Bowser. He had airships, tank columns, super tanks, a naval fleet, an air force... basically, a full military. Later on, he tended to be portrayed more as a goofball than a serious tyrant, albeit a lovable one. It was admittedly mostly the RPGs that portrayed him that way, though lol. Still, here he's a powerful monster king with his own full military, and has conquered 7 kingdoms (not counting the Dark World, which I seems to have been is his home). Eight, if you count the capture of Princess Toadstool. She had only been kidnapped for the second time at this point, so it wasn't quite so cliche yet lol.

I didn't notice right away so I might have missed a few levels early on, but I like how he seems to avoid getting a mushroom card at level end. I'm only halfway through, maybe that changes, but it's been flowers and stars for as long as I've been keeping track, so far. It's subtle.

This is a Tool Assisted Speedrun. They use an emulator to go frame by frame to press the right buttons at the right time. Then they can have the computer press those buttons in real-time to show it in actual gameplay. It's more about finding and showing the game's possibilities than showing the player's skill.
