A new glitch was recently discovered in Super Mario Bros. which allows speedrunners to shave 20 seconds off their time (though pulling it off is very difficult).
This is another video that gets into the nature of the glitch by digging into the programming.
Did you ever see someone beat Tetris? Well apparently not because this video claims to be the world first. "Beating Tetris" means here that you get to Level 255 and move to the next level and it goes back to Level 0. They're calling this a "Rebirth" which seems confusing to me, but whatever.
A few notes of no interest to anyone... The highest digit of the Lines Count goes 0-9 and then A-Z and then hyphen, comma, apostrophe, right arrow, exclamation point, question mark and left parentheses. The highest digit of the Score goes 0-9 and then A-F (hexadecimal) and then back to 0. The Level, as said, goes to 255 to 0. That's 3 different "numbering systems" on one screen.
I can't understand this video. My mind cannot process this quickly. And he even seems to be monitoring the chat and responding in real-time. Crazy. Just crazy.
This may seem random, perhaps, but I find the movement of the cars around the curves of the track within Super Spring to be oddly satisfying. And since the aesthetic pleasure is directly proportional to the skill of the player, this world record run should be as good as it gets.
I watched this on mute, so if this guy says anything crazy, I didn't know that.
