My Mario NWC Speed Run

if this is a reproduction cart, why did it have a manual?

Made a manual with it as well.
Newer stuff such as Air Ball has a box, manual, and game.

Spent a few hours working on beating Mario in under 6:21 on a NWC reproduction cartridge, because the manual claimed something special would happen.

Those bastards!

What would have been really funny is if they claimed to give out cool prizes if anyone could beat Mario in just under the amount of time it would take to beat it in the absolute fastest time ever possible...Just to fuck with people.

Look on the bright side. How many can beat it faster? That was pretty fast.

what the hell was that at the ending?

The screaming or the score screen?

Nice run through Super Mario Bros., you're faster than me.

That reminds me of the challenges they had at MAGfest. I did the one for Super Mario Bros. where you had to beat the game in one life with less than 15 coins.

Firstly, hot damn, that was very impressive.
Secondly, what the hell is NWC?
Thirdly, dear God, that drove me nuts. I'm an obsessive coin collector, which is the primary reason I could never manage a time that good - so I spent most of the video thinking "Damnit, look at all the coins he's missing!"

I plan on going for the record or at least tying for first. At the very, very least I want to be under 5 minutes and 15 seconds.

No need for coins, just a need for speed.
...... ?

Can I ask what happened when you defeated Bowser? 😛 And I love the commentary after you get the fireworks both times. Best quote ever: "Fireworks are for FAGGOTS!"

lmfao at the random fart sound at 2:06. And it scared the hell out of me when I heard "Fireworks are for FAGGOTS!". Congrats on the 1000 points though.

why did you get fireworks twice when they are easy to avoid?

I don't watch the clock, I just run and jump. I need to start though. It'd be better to wait a split second than get fireworks.

i can't watch your video... the angle gives me a headache :S

I keep laughing at Fireworks are for FAGGOTS. I don't think I should be this much.

Don't worry, that is hilarious.

I'm still curious about the random anger outburst at 5:47.

I think i'm going to have a shirt made with the castle, flag and some fireworks, and have it say fireworks are for faggots underneath it all in a mario font. Someone else is probably better suited than I to make the design though.

The outburst at 5:47 is excitement for finally beating it with a decent run after trying all night.

Hm, if or when I accomplish something like that (like get a good time in Mario Kart or Goldeneye), I'd usually not "yell" at the game. That's only for when I die or the game cheats, heh.

And I'd so buy a "Fireworks are for Faggots" Mario T-shirt. I'm not sure too many people would get the inside joke, though.

You're crazy if you've never taken on a very difficult challenge in a game or just a difficult game and you finally beat it and tell the game fuck you! ;o Everybody does it. I do it and I like it. Nothing more satisfying than beating some ridiculus game after trying very hard.

I think the best part though, is at the end when you've gotten your 1000 points and you're all WTF is that!?

I would also buy a Fireworks are for FAGGOTS!! shirt. I would take a picture of myself wearing it for my AGN photo too.

at that point you should put down the hand controller and slowly walk away till you get outside... then you should go and play on some swings.

Cool video. If you're a big fan of the original game, you should track down a copy of Super Mario Bros Deluxe for GBC. It has a lot of fun challenges that really make you appreciate the game (even more)

Playing outside is dangerous remember? Everyone is out to kidnap, rape, and murder you these days. 😛 If you don't understand the fun of achievements in games, then you must be a loser with a low gamer score. 😉

i understand acheiving stuff in games is fun but i also understand that talking to a inanimate object (the tv) is a good example of suffering from delusions.

You mean the only gameboy color game I own?

I haven't played it, I need to for sure.

oh please, you're certainly not a judge of rationality from some of the stuff I've seen you post. it's perfectly normal to bitch at that little stupid fucking plumber when he doesn't jump the way you tell him to!

Thats it, I'm changing my custom title. Seriously need somebody to make a shirt design.

That's about all I can do. 😃

But there aren't even any fireworks. I'm gonna try to make a cool crayon-looking drawing of the castle with fireworks, with FafF above it. Woo.

Yeah that's it.

One of the challenges that I remember is beating Bowser with fireballs in every world. (previously I didn't know you could even do that). In one of the later levels (level 7 I think) you have to hold onto a fire flower for 2-3 stages in a row or something in order to do it cause there are no mushrooms at all. And those levels are not easy.

btw, you only get fireworks if you have 1, 3, 6, or 9 as the last digit on the clock. So you could probably cut your time down some by making sure you don't get fireworks.
