Dear people moderating without a lot knowledge of game mechanics: the clip in 4-2 is a glitch, you can do it yourself even. This version looks weird cause it is the arcade version. The plants have weird hitboxes witch is why nifski goes thru them without dying. Get a rom and try this out yoruself before making guesses.

[@gloven2run689]

crazy fingers did a bunch of backwards bumps to trigger the 4-2 glitch. I tried so many times to replicate it but it was too hard. Of course what Niftski did is in my opinion ever more difficult.

Thank god niftski wr, been so long (more than 4 days) i thought my goat had lost it

Maybe it's just me but I find this even more exciting to watch than regular SMB1 speed runs

[@spikerSR]

GGs Niftski! Glad to see this category I saw potential in become absolutely destroyed from new strategies, techniques, and overall amazing execution. Don't know if I care to beat this time myself but would love to see more runners give this game a shot (-Spiker, FWR holder)

Doing the 1up trick at the end of 6-1 is always fun. Why do you get the mushroom on 6-1? Isn't it easier to be small Mario for speedruns?

[@LiamTrader]

Idk if me and spiker ever shared this with anyone but we discovered that doing Johnny boy saves a framerule in 1-1. You probably have figured this out yourself but I thought I would mention it

[@AkumaAPN]

Hmmm. I had to look this up. I remember the official Vs. Super Mario Bros. arcade release (yeah, I'm that old!), but wasn't familiar with "Home Edition." So it's some kind of ROM Hack to closely emulate Vs. SMB on NES, and appears to have been originally shared in 2012. Here, I guess Niftski is using a later 2014 version. I'd be curious to know if anyone can explain whether the gameplay is exactly the same as NES SMB1, or if there are some subtle differences. And does anyone know the source material for this ROM Hack? Is it a level by level rebuild using an SMB1 ROM? Or is it a Vs. SMB arcade rom that's been hacked to support playback on different platforms / emulators? Would also like to know what was different been the 2012 & 2014 versions of this Hack, and if there have been any expert appraisals as to how closely this adhears to the original Vs. SMB arcade game, in terms of gameplay & level copies.

[@tubezone666]

I only know the versus release from the switch. It is the original arcade release, which mixes the level of SMB1 and SMB2 (Japan).

[@AkumaAPN]

@tubezone666 yeah, I saw the wikipedia page mention that the arcade version featured some "new levels" that were later used for The Lost Levels. I'm wondering which levels those were, because I didn't see anything other than typical SMB1 levels in this speedrun, with the exception of the different Warp Pipe in 4-2.

[@EebstertheGreat]

@@AkumaAPN Mariowiki has a page outlining a number of specific changes made from SMB1. The biggest changes relevant to this speedrun are bricks in 1-2 that prevent an easier version of the clip, a change in the location of the pipe to the 4-2 warp zone, the removal of the pipes to worlds 7 and 8 in the 4-2 warp zone, completely new levels for 6-3, 6-4, 7-2, and 7-3 (which were later used in TLL), a change to the maze solution in 7-4, and small changes to the coin block next to the walljump pipe and to Bowser's bridge in 8-4. There are a lot of other changes too, and I doubt Mariowiki lists all of them. But it's worth pointing out that people have ROM dumps of Vs. SMB. The CPU and I think memory map on the conversion kit were roughly the same as in the NES, but the PPU was different. So some changes would have to be made to the Vs. dump to make it run on an NES emulator, but probably not much. One very likely difference is a change in the color of fire mario. EDIT: One potentially important difference is that the speed that the game timer runs can be changed by the arcade operator with a DIP switch, which could change fireworks. So it depends what setting this ROM hack uses. Moreover, there are two versions of this game: the conversion kit and a standalone arcade cabinet. I don't know if their ROMs differ at all.

[@Velocifyer]

Nice run

[@WayneRossi]

Congratulations on a great WR! This is a terrific run, I love seeing stages that don't show up in most Any % formats. Out of curiosity - there are obviously glitches in the SMB1 Any % run that weren't part of this (flagpole glitch, pipe clip in 1-2, Bullet Bill in 8-2). Are these not possible in this version of the game, or have they just not been worked into this run yet?

[@andrewzhang8512]

possible but no point since easier optimizations

[@spikerSR]

Hi, former vs smb1 wr holder here, all the glitches you mentioned are indeed possible in this game AND 1-2G pipe clip has already been done and proven to save time (same with FPG but depends on the level). However 8-2 BBG, while possible, is completely RNG in this game because unlike regular smb1, there is no way to manipulate enemy patterns from framerules to have the bullet shoot on time to gain timesave. Hope this helps!

[@WayneRossi]

@@spikerSR thanks, that's really interesting. I find the technical details that SMB speedrunners get into fascinating, and it's good to know that there's still a lot of room for a category that's cool to watch.

[@exxor9108]

I take it that doing flag pole glitch in 1-1 will cause fireworks?

[@gloven2run689]

i think that maybe since his pb was 10:38 that he just wanted to complete a run before any further optimizations. i could be wrong though

[@spikerSR]

Actually no, the main problem is that traditional sockfolder FPG would not save time in 1-1 in this game due to the framerule remainder being different from regular smb1. However you CAN save time in 1-1 with a method of FPG known as jonnyboy setup, which saves more time than a regular FPG setup and allows an extra framerule to be saved

[@SunsetBear]

Yo is it not possible to crouch slide under bowser at the end? or kill him with fire faster than it takes to depower? i assume not since niftski didn’t lose time and also popped tf off, but just curious why things are the way they are

[@gloven2run689]

From my observations Bowser only has one pattern where he jumps forward. If he jumps back you can't get through without damage

[@spikerSR]

Going under bowser from a backwards and turn pattern are both impossible without taking damage. You could theoretically go under a turn if you have mario positioned more to the right via backwards bumping something, but there isn't a way to currently do that in the last room of 8-4

[@avermineplayer_1]

exactly try Mario Master on that game one rule: no wrong warps or pipe clips

[@BenjaminMellor]

There was recently a TAS released where Bad Apple was played in Super Mario Bros using arbitrary code execution. That makes me hopeful that a credits warp glitch is found in the future where you can warp to 8-4 from 1-1. What do you think?

[@sarahspeedrun]

Is the audio issues the game, the emu, or the recording software?

Mostly sound settings, they're a bit too boosted.
