I'm only about halfway through world 2 in YIDS... I tend to aim for 100s more than I should and I only have like half of them in world 1. Bah.

What I was really talking about was comparing, say, Super Mario World to Super Mario Sunshine or New Super Mario Bros.

I was talking about Strikers and the sports games, party, ect.

The current tool-assisted record is 10 min, 29.7 sec.? Don't even try saying you've gotten it faster than that.

Current real record is 11 min, 9 sec.

I have gotten it faster than that. It definitley didn't take me 11 minutes to get through all of that.

We are talking about from when you start a new file (Welcome to Dinosaur Land..) to hitting Bowser on the head with the 6th Mech-Koopa, right?

I don't know about the real record, but the tool-assisted one is from turning the game on (which adds a whopping seven seconds) to the 6th mechakoopa toss, yes.

Keep in mind that you're claiming to be about twice as fast as this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CBgBeuxBag (the video is obsolete, but I haven't seen the current record holder on there)

All speed runs are considered done when the player reaches a point where he must not press any buttons to proceed.
So yeah, as soon as you've hit Bowser's head with the MechaKoopa, you do not have to press anything anymore to get to the "The End" Screen, leading us to the conclusion that the run is over when the Sixth MechaKoopa hits Bowser.

Which is obviously impossible to reach in 5 minutes, unless a drastic shortcut is found.

I'd say the Star World is a pretty drastic shortcut... And nothing that hasn't been found in a 15-year-old game yet could be found now. So yeah, 10 minutes using cheats is about as fast as it goes.

I watched that speedrun, and I was laughing for a great deal of it. It moved so quickly, and the player showed off such skills (such as purposefully executing close calls)... Very amusing.

Well, not with that kind of attitude...

Tool-assisted speed runs bore me like none other, but the antics during the final battle were very hilarious (that poor Mushroom).

Eclipsed Moon · « **Reply #41 on:** January 18, 2007, 06:28:58 AM »

You thought those mushroom antics were great, you should see the latest version.

Where, man?

Sapphira · « **Reply #43 on:** January 18, 2007, 07:20:55 AM »

What's cool is that EM linked me the speedrun just a couple of days before he posted it here.

I wasn't able to find it on YouTube, but the Snes9x movie file and a torrent for the AVI of it can be found here: http://tasvideos.org/719M.html
