Who knew you could rack up so many men on the scrolling ship levels?

This has to be some guy doing sweet during a bunch of different games and then editing them together. It's not possible. But, if it really is someone doing that, WTF?! Who actually has enough time to get that amazing at Mario 3?

You could do it in the first SMB too.

Yeah! Do you remember that cheat where you could get as many lives as you want by getting a turtle shell near the end steps and bouncing up and down on it in an endless loop? It was funny when the game started displaying weird characters. I think that the most you could have before you crashed the game was a double crown.
There's a similar thing in Super Mario World, too, but I didn't know that there were any places in SMB3 where it was possible to bounce on that many enemies without stopping. Also note that he would often wag his tail and get a double whack (two 1-ups).
Nuts!

Good God.
Watching that guy play is like watching an algorithm play tetris.
Amazing.

My question is: how many times did he have to try before the hands let him through (10 points to everyone who knows what I'm talking about)?

My guess is that he looks a the bit at the top which shows the next piece, so he doesn't need to see the piece before he drops it.

Have you seen the one for the original super mario bros? I saw one a few months back that exploited some well known glitches in smb, it was pretty impressive too, sadly I don't have a link to it.

He did it on purpose. Three stars in a row would have triggered the extra lives reward ceremony, making his time llonger.

I tried that yesterday and today using Safari and the message in the download window said the file doesn't exist. Tried just left clicking it, and voila! It started downloading.

Something's not right there. I've never seen a tetris game that lets you move the pieces sideways that fast.

I remember finding it when I was a kid. I forget what stage it is on - but basically you can get a turtle stuck between two bricks and keep bouncing on it all day, getting a 1up each time.

It is impressive, though worth noting that the guy is using a Game Genie (if you look at one of the first levels, you'll see that he does a jump in mid-air without having the leaf power-up).
Not that it matters - it would've taken him 10:58 without it instead of 10:56.

well. its at the end of 3-1, and i think theres a point in world 7 where you can do it too.
on the original SMB for nes, you can bounce to get like 5 or 13 extra guys, then it stops.
on hte super mario all stars version, you can bounce all damned day.

I remember being in a Super Mario 3 contest when I was a kid, and thinking that the judging was going to be by something other than the score. Naturally, it wasn't, and some loser won by taking advantage of that place in the second or third level where you can just jump on enemies when they come out of the pipe and rack up huge points.
Sorry, but that ain't skill. I was, at the time, able to get mid-way through World 8 in the 10 minutes we were alotted, and thought that showed a heck of a lot more skill than being able to jump repetitively.
Alas, the guy holding down "A" for 10 minutes won because his score was higher. Dumbass contest.
...But I'm not bitter, or anything...

No, I was in 6th grade at the time. The contest was just one activity at this weekend keep-your-kids-occupied lock-in thingy.

If you're talking about the first level -- I thought the same thing, but if you look closely, he jumps off the turtle, and then off the cloud. I thought that was a hack at first too.

It doesn't seem too hard, at least not for anyone with any musical background (a good pianist would probably find the game too elementary).
It's basically a sight-reading game, but instead of musical notes you've got falling blocks, and instead of using your fingers on a piano keyboard you use your palms on big buttons. No accidentals, no need to worry about rests (since you don't hit a button unless the corresponding colored block is at the bottom)...not too hard. But very impressive-looking.
