Maybe this is old news for some, but I just saw this for the first time. I winced several times in the places where this doesn't looking like it sould even be possible.

I have no idea how that is possible.

But it is really freakin' cool.

Eh he had a game genie on that thing for invincibility. Was funny how you would kill a bad guy by jumping on them, from under them especially the hammer brothers. Or in the final underwater level he goes right through one of the fire spinner things.

Still some damn fine jumping skills though.

I think my best was like 20 minutes for the whole thing.

SMB2 though now that one I could zoom through.

The disclaimer says it's "tool-assisted," which leads me to believe a Game Genie was involved.

He used emulation. He could save it at any point he wanted, replay anything he messed up, then play the whole thing back as one uninterrupted stream.

Yeah, the fact that he jumps right through half of the pirahna plants kind of takes away from its awesomeness.

Even with a Game Genie or whatever, the jumps are ridiculous. I'm pretty sure that it's either an original Nintendo and a Game Genie or an emulator, but I don't think you can combine both. (Unless they actually wrote some stuff themselves, but if they did that, they could've created something much more impressive than this.)

Emulator's do have "Game Genie's" built in. But the speculation can end here:

The SMB3 run was better, because the cheating wasn't as obvious.
