You can see an explanation of it here (as well as other glitches) and then try it for yourself and see if you still think it's impossible: <a HREF="http://tasvideos.org/SuperMarioBrosTricks.html#AlternatePipeGlitchesSmb1Smb2j" rel="nofollow">http://tasvideos.org/SuperMarioBrosTricks.html#AlternatePipeGlitchesSmb1Smb2j</a> Once again, the video has been *verified* by people who are much bigger video game nerds than either you or I will ever be. Now, you can disagree with them for allowing this glitch to be exploited and not things like walljumping, whatnot, but the video is not fake or emulated. The guy is just really damn good. Deal.

You climb a vine that is in that set of blocks before you get to the pipes. And... 2)The pipes that he goes down in 8-4 are the wrong ones, and would not take him to Bowser. So, therefore, BULLSHIT! I win. Again have to say bullshit for the following reasons, Ms. I never beat Super Mario Bros…

You can <a HREF="http://speeddemosarchive.com/Mario1.html" rel="nofollow">view the video in its original context</a> on speeddemos.com and see for yourself. <a HREF="http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2007/03/25/all_thumbs/" rel="nofollow">Andrew Gardikis</a> is the official record holder at both SDA and <a HREF="http://www.twingalaxies.com/index.aspx?c=22&pi=23&gi=411&vi=5717" rel="nofollow">Twin Galaxies</a> for his five minute SMB run (his time is 5:08 at TG there because SDA and TG have slightly different rules about what tricks you can use and where they start the timer). But this stuff isn't made up or modded. It's played on an actual NES (emulators are forbidden), videotaped, and verified before they post them. Better keep practicing, my friend!

There are some things that are wrong, and on top of that, impossible to happen. I'm sorry to ruin your belief. Sad to say, I have to call bullshit on the video.

Stupid comcast had to upgrade their cable and now we can't get the good channels for free anymore. How am I going to live without hearing Tim Gunn sagely advising designers to "make it work"?!
