IMO, SM64DS is no more canon than Super Mario All-Stars is, just a remake of a previous game. (Not to dis the quality of either)

And if you think about it, SML2 made much more sense than the first, and the gameplay was a lot closer to contemporary Mario titles on the SNES (Super Mario World, SMAS), even if the story was a bit "meh".

Good night, this Bowser deal is getting annoying. Seems like a pretty huge chunk of the game...

IMO, the SMB2 character select music is the best track of the Super Mario Bros. trilogy.

If you somehow get the DVD file onto your computer, you can go to Media Converter and convert the file into a more desirable file.

Getting it into a file is the issue. The conversion I can figure out somehow, thanks anyway.

I haven't done it in a while, but I think you should be able to rip it with DVD Decrypter and convert it with WinFF. If you have Windows, at least.

I'll look into that, thank you.

Meanwhile, until I get FBM's video up, requests are closed. However, I did get the Paper Mario video up, see it here:

Paper Mario: Anti-Guys Unit with 5 HP, no Life Shrooms:

Read the description for details about how I did it.

OK, HyperCam got me through the short Paper Mario battle, but just died on me trying to record the SMB3 speedrun. (It lengthened it by 90 seconds - ???) I have a fairly clean DVD copy of each, does anyone have a better alternative to getting DVD content into .avi or .mpg format? Otherwise, I might need to put a time limit of roughly 3 minutes on further requests.

Actually, can you cancel my request? I was joking. But in a more serious manner, I think that you should put together a movie showing you how to go underground (as in, the underground glitch) in every level (where its possible) in SMS.

I don't own Super Mario Sunshine, and frankly, I'm horrible at it. Sorry... :(

Also, if the SMB3 video survives HyperCam and my video editor, it should be up by tomorrow evening. The Paper Mario one (not requested) will definitely be up then.

For the minimal powerups run, at 2:16, you called the level "Chocolate Island 3" when it was actually "Star World 5." 

Whoops... I was rushing a bit too fast through the title additions apparently...

Unfortunatly, my PC is having problems and I can't view your videos right now but I'm sure they're great. :) And also, thanks for taking my request for SMB.3. My fastest time was 14:11.

I still plan to post it on Youtube, just FYI.  Also, I forgot to mention it, but I went into the door to the Princess at around 13:15, so the credits finished at after 14 minutes.  I consider to the Princess "game over" though.  There were many sub-optimal things in the run, like accidentally slipping off the white block in 1-3, missing the P-Switch in the Fortress, and landing on a pipe (which I couldn't see because of the somewhat garbled graphics) in 8-1, and forgetting to use a P-Wing in 1-3.  Maybe I can eventually perfect the run to under 13 minutes...

I think a tag-team with him and Wario is just what M&L3 needs (needed?), as opposed Bowser being playable again and being inside someone's body again.

Agreed. I think Waluigi needs a role in a Mario RPG, even if it's just a sidestory that has no effect on the plot, or him and Wario trying to be an annoyance to the Mario Bros. and miserably failing (a la Popple/Rookie from M&L: SS).

Bleh, I finished recording FlamingBlueMardio's request (sort of). After one try, I cleared from 1-1 to the end door in roughly 13:15.
However, the graphics glitched all the way through; at 7:00 or so to the point I couldn't tell the pipes from the background.

I could put it on Youtube to prove it, but I don't want it getting bad ratings or getting removed because of the poor quality...

Also, whenever I post the next video, I'm also going to put up a video I have tucked away somewhere of beating the Anti Guys Unit in three turns, at level 18, with 5 HP.

@FBM: Hmm, I might just try that.

@Glitchy: Honestly, I was hoping for something more interesting, so I think I'll try FBM's request first.

I'm uploading the Super Mario World video tonight and will post a link some time tomorrow morning.

EDIT: Here it is, with a couple of bonus videos:

Super Mario World - Tubular w/o Cape or P-Balloon, and other minimal powerup runs:

I figured out the problem... someone turned the sound recording off and set the frame rate to 5 (???!), so it should be working again. I'll try to upload it to Youtube tomorrow night...

Also, @FBMardio, beating SMW powerupless is possible, but not Yoshiless or switchless, as you'll need both to get to the Star Road (otherwise you'd have to get a Super Mushroom in Forest of Illusion 3 to get to Roy's Castle)

@Glitchy - I might do sometime next week, depending on schedule...

Likely possible, but time-consuming.

Also, I'm encountering a glitch with HyperCam, and am going to try another method of video editing. If all works correctly, it should still be up this weekend. Otherwise, I'll have to scrap the whole requests deal. Sorry... :(
