600-Point Low Score Super Mario Bros. Run
This is a video of a guy beating Super Mario Bros. with a total score of 600. Which, from what I gathered by skipping around the 8:30 video, is 100 points for each flag level you HAVE to complete while warp-piping your way to Bowser (five, and with no bonus time left on the clock), and one goomba bounce to avoid collecting two coins. I don't know how, but I'm convinced I could still do it with less (I'm a natural born loser is the thing).
Success! Here I achieve the (almost) lowest score possible in Super Mario Bros. for the NES. No save states or slowdown was used, but I did increase the frame skip by quite a bit when waiting at the flag poles. Since you probably don't want to watch that, I cut out almost 8 minutes of video where I'm just running out the clock.
Admittedly, that's pretty damn impressive for a single run without dying. Also: one from New York to California. My heart would probably explode before I even got to Rhode Island! "That's the wrong way." Ha, I think I know my geometry.
Hit the jump for the 'you will never get your initials up on a game at the arcade'!

Remember the Mario/Portal mashup game we were teased with last year? Well it's finally out and available for free download. Goodbye productivity! "I wasn't going to do anything today anyways." Same here -- but don't tell our bosses that! The final game has all kinds of ext... / Continue →

Did you know Super Mario 3 was actually just a play? I did, because I'm observant. Yeah, CSI wanted me to join their team but I turned them down because I don't do dead bodies. Figuratively or literally. Sure I poked a run-over opossum with a stick once BUT ONLY CAUSE HE WA... / Continue →

This is a picture of Mario that was created in a petri dish at the University of Osaka in Japan. It's proof positive that the cure for cancer is just around the corner. So, how do you create a picture of Mario in a petri dish? It ain't paint by numbers! (It might actually be... / Continue →
