Nice, but for the first half of the video why wouldn't Mario move left/right or even jump in the muddy water? In my opinion it would have been better in darkness with no room to move to the side. Also, if I recall correctly it took 3, 4, or more times for Bowser to jump to his doom in the original SMB3.
Thanks for posting in the thread I had forgotten about. I appreciate the relevant necro post.
