Someone beat SM64 with ONE star in 9 minutes.

[javeryh]

Wow.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16OEqIzkUcQ

I know it's probably "assisted" but it's still pretty amazing...

[Pancake Rabbit]

I've seen similar videos before, but that's probably the fastest one I've seen. That guy was damn good at what he does. Now I really want to play some Mario 64.

[cdietschrun]

Haha, its pretty awesome/impressive. SM64 has so many of these weird bugs where they throw Mario around. It's a little more nuts considering the intro ends at 58 seconds in. Wow, the run through the third Bowser stage is most impressive!

[dothog]

Probably? I don't even know where the hell I am in moving from one glitch to the next. Is even 10% of that possible without emulators and 1000s of trials?

[sblymnlcrymnl]

Wow.

[Dead of Knight]

Talk about ways you save money or anything else you wish, as long as its NOT GAMING OR SHOPPING RELATED.

kthx

[Staind204]

Damn I never realized how glitchy this game is.

[Ikohn4ever]

moving through the bowers boards is crazy

[Seventh]

for Mario!

Wow, never seen someone bitch that about a wrong thread in the Off-topic forum before...

[Scorch]

I wouldn't even consider that "beating" the game.

[greydemise]

i always loved the bowser fights, i thought they were a barrel of pure awesome, and i seriously wish i stil had SM64, istill have my n64 here

..does mario say "so long, big bowser!"? wow , i never understood him when i was younger lol

[Staind204]

I guess some people have nothing better to do than bitch. I don't see how this topic is hurting anyone being in the OFF-TOPIC forum.

[Magehart]

Seriously! The third one was amazing but #2 I had to rewatch. WTF!

If someone could do this on an N64 in even twice as long as that i'd be impressed.

[Noodle Pirate!]

I feel like baking a cake now. That was pretty impressive. I wonder how much time he has put into that game overall to get that good.

[SpazX]

He has glitch skillz

[RAMSTORIA]

ok im not joking, but i had a dream last night that someone created a thread about a video of someone beating mario 64 very fast...

[PhrostByte]

Pretty cool.. $20 if it can be done on 64DS :]

[seanr1221]

That was pretty awesome.

[magiic]

as far as I know he says "So long King Bowser!"

[dastly75]

Is baking a cake synonymous with freaky group sex? I think mario has earned it after that.

[TahoeMax]

Wow, that's disgusting. Also, if you don't count the 1 minute intro and the 2 minute outro, it's under 6 minutes of actual gameplay. Egads!

[camoor]

ok im not joking, but i had a dream last night that someone created a thread about a video of someone beating mario 64 very fast...

Sounds like you belong in the "I have real magic skillz" thread"

Although, CAG topic prediction is a pretty lousy superhero ability.

[masked lemon]

That is some bullshit glitch abuse there...


I never liked Mario 64.

[whoknows]

as far as I know he says "So long King Bowser!"
I thought he said "So long big bowsy" :lol:

[lawlflip]

Theres a video of someone beating Morrowind in less than 8 mins.

[corrosivefrost]

That's fucking crazy.

[lawlflip]

Wow, all the tricks and glitches this guy uses are so amazing.

[seanw]

Yeah, what's even happening there? If you make Mario crouch in certain corners he runs backwards at supersonic speeds? Huh?

[Liquid 2]

Damn.

[sblymnlcrymnl]

I never liked Mario 64. You know, I hadn't added to my ignore list in a while.

[Strell]

You know, I hadn't added to my ignore list in a while.

LMFAO

Cag is highly, highly amusing today.

[JohnnyFoxDarko]

As an insentive for saving Princess Peach he gets a pastry...

When I was a kid, I thought Mario said "So long gay Bowser."
I was immature and still am because I still heard that.

[panasonic]

I beat it in 1 minute. Took the game out of the case and got a bat.

[lokizz]

man that water world music is still amazing stuff. i wonder if you can buy it or download it somewhere. that game is one of the few timeless games out there too bad mario sunshine sucked so bad.even now i remember when i finally got a copy fo that game and popped it in and the mario 64 world was just unbelivable. that undeground dinosaur was bitchin too.

[Strell]

I cannot figure out why I find this so hilarious, but I am.

[DarkNessBear]

Yeaaa you know mario is gonna get ALL the cake he wants now!

Marrriooo!

[cdietschrun]

I've got a COMPLETE, MINT copy of my Super Mario 64 that I would be willing to sell if anyone is interested :)

[jmcc]

Is...is that good? I haven't ever played this "mario 64."

[HappyFunBear]

Asians.... :bouncy:

[whoknows]

Is...is that good? I haven't ever played this "mario 64."
Wow,

Well I'll enlighten you.

It was a strategy game for the SNES, the 64th game in the series as a matter of fact (you can obviously tell by the name). It starts out with this plumber named Mario trying to figure out how to pay the rent for the month. His rich ass girlfriend Princess Toadstool (aka Peach which is Mario's "pet name" for her) mailing him a letter saying she baked a cake for him.

Now I don't know who uses the mail to say such things when phones are available, but whatever, by the time Mario gets the letter the cake will be days old.

Anyways, due to Peach's lack of understanding on how to use the telephone it takes Mario almost a week to get the letter and get over to the castle. By the time he gets there though he finds out some dude dressed up as a dinosaur kidnapped Peach while she was out shopping and if Mario wants the cake he has to go save her.

The rest of the story is told through the gameplay.

[Zenithian Legend]

Wow, never seen someone bitch that about a wrong thread in the Off-topic forum before...

Especially odd coming from a normally mellow poster, ya alright thar?

[Foo228]

unreal.

in a believeable way of course

[Tsukento]

I never liked Mario 64.
This coming from someone with a wrestling game in the gamercard. :(

[captainfrizo]

That was incredible, assisted or not.

Mario 64 is my favorite game of all time and now I have the sudden urge to play through it yet again.

[DrunkTigerWoods]

Same here, i think i'll break out mario 64ds later (n64 is not hooked up).

[gunm]

wtf

lame, but still amusing.

[cdietschrun]

wtf

lame, but still amusing.

Really? I think it's time to add you to my ignore list, then. Lame is probably the single most innapropriate adjective I can imagine for that video.

[elwood731]

Lame seems about right to me. It reminds me of that SMB3 quick run that was done all on emulator, as this one was. If someone had really run the last few levels like that I would be impressed, but considering they ran it basically frame by frame (because no one could run it like that), I am far less impressed. Quick run videos used to be fun to watch, because they showed real skill. Now, they're just people showing off that they have too much free time to screw with emulators, which is less fun, and, well, kind of lame.

[KingBroly]

From when he got control to when he got the final star, the total time is...

5:49

OMG!

[masterofdarkness]

It makes we wanna play that game and try that last glitch!

[yukine]

Not impressive by any stretch, but it's interesting to watch.

[Nirvanaguy777]

Intense to say the least.

[lvl99ultrathug]

Dude, you're not alone because that's what I heard too back then, and it STILL sounds like "gay Bowser" to me.

Oh and that vid was straight-up Mario molestation. Nice find, OP. :applause:

[Jedah Doma]

Wow, nice playthrough. Those Bowser levels were insane.

[Kayden]

i feel so inadequate.

[Strell]

i feel so inadequate.

I already promised to keep the lights off next time. :( Would you get over it already?

[Backlash]

Obviously this is an ages old debate, but that video took a LOT of skill. A totally different type of skill than playing through the game well normally, but still - using an emulator to try to perfect a game is not easy. Anyway, at least read this: http://tasvideos.org/WhyAndHow.html

Excerpt:

Perfection is not easy.
Yes, using the tools makes playing easy ― but we do not just play here.

We attempt to perfect the games to a godly level of precision, which involves handling the game as if it were The Matrix ― observing every slightest detail to gain control over it in ways that the makers never imagined. We search for perfection.
To reach that goal, using the features provided by an emulator is irrelevant, as long as the “world” – the game – is unmodified.

It is a massive undertaking to produce a good tool-assisted movie. Sure, anyone can undo when they make a mistake ― but who can spot the error that causes 0.1 seconds of delay in the movie? Who can spot and abuse bugs in games to do seemingly unearthly maneuvers?

Note: Creating good tool-assisted movies has little to do with playing games well. Only a few players that are skilled in real-time play have the will to create good tool-assisted movies (patience and determination count instead of real-time skills), and only a few players that make good tool-assisted movies are truly skillful in real-time playing (almost always in a different game). Bisqwit, for example, does not do well at Mega Man games, although he is the author of the sensational tool-assisted Mega Man movie.

Excerpt:
It's not really an "ages old debate" by any stretch of the imagination. One way of playing takes skill, and one way is little more than video editing, which I suppose takes some skill, but nowhere the amount the other does. It's the equivalent of turning on God mode in a game and making a run through it. Might be sort of "neat," but it requires little skill and in no way impresses me. It's akin to cheating at Monopoly and then bragging about how you controlled all the railroads, Boardwalk, and Park Place. So what? You cheated to do it. Might be an accomplishment at some level, but isn't really "skilled."

[Backlash]

I disagree. I know I couldn't go through those Bowser levels with that degree of skill even using an emulator, and I doubt you could either. The route he takes and jumps he makes are incredible - I would not have thought of doing some of those.

Some games have more evidence of really interesting routes and neat manuevers than others, and this one doesn't really impress as much as other tool-assisted videos. The most interesting thing about this one is the abuse of glitches to skep so many "mandatory" parts of the game, and it's not especially cool to watch. But we can agree to disagree.

Also, I guess I meant I see this debate all over the place for the last few years, so it just seems old :(

[ViolentLee]

Theres a video of someone beating Morrowind in less than 8 mins.

In case anyone cares, this is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mjgtpMKhIE

I personally got bored with Morrowind after about 8 minutes, but I freaking loved Oblivion.

[Yaxley]

Tool assisted though it may be, It's made me want to break that game out again. My N64 has gone neglected for quite a while.

[SilverPaw750]

Holy hell, that was amazing.

[gofishn]

Watching that just reminded me of what a masterpiece SM64 was.

[SL4IN]

assissted or not, that was pretty damn impressive.

[bluesyncopate]

Impressive and fun to watch, assisted or no. The Bowser levels in particular were crazy.

[stinkoman]

[Mr. Beef]

I still can't believe he pursuit-grabbed Bowser. WTFeej?
