i find something to be really weird, about a year ago, when someone beat the world record for super mario bros 1, and got a time of 5 minutes and 17 seconds, everyone made a HUGE deal about it. a month later, he got a 5:14, then a few months he got a 5:13. that is his best time right now. a few months later someone gets an incredible 5 minutes and 10 seconds, and no one really cares or knows about it. he then improves his time by 1 second and has the super mario bros 1 world record of 5 minutes and 9 seconds. his name is trevor seguin. an 11 second improvement from the old world record before the 5:17 was acheived and no one cares? i find this to be very strange, as i have also set this record and it doesn't seem to be much of a big deal. a perfect game of super mario bros 1 is 5minutes and 8 seconds, and the record is only 1 second away from perfect. has anyone ever seen the video for a 5:09 in super mario bros 1, it is incredible. this is a link to my world record... http://www.twingalaxies.com/index.aspx?c=22&p=35314my name is Andrew Gardikis. Trevor Seguin, the guy who tied with me, has a video of his 5:09 on speeddemosarchive.com... you have to download this thing called DIVX, but it is worth it to see this video. does anyone else care about the record being only 1 second away from a perfect run!!!!??? oh yeah one more thing, if anyone would like to see a lot of SMB1 tricks, bugs and glitches, i have made page listing almost everything i know. www.freewebs.com/lamavideogame/vgglitchesandtricks.htm

Well, welcome to NES Files Andrew :) Hey man, that's pretty cool that you have that world record. I didn't know that it's one second away from a perfect run :shock: I'm wondering how it's been figured out that a perfect run is in 5 min 8 sec? I haven't really kept up on world records much... the last I saw of any records (that I stumbled across) was that guy beating the world record for Ms. Pac-Man... that was some crazy stuff! Are you going to try for records for any other games after you get your perfect run?

well... it is a perfect run, under twingalaxies rules. a 5:07.9, might theoretically be possible under twingalaxies rules, only if it is possible to end with a 312 on 8-4 under twingalaxies rules. which i have never acheived. if i did not follow twingalaxies rules, i could probably use many things that would improve my time. i think the best time i could ever get using everything i know is a 5:04, i am not even sure if it would add up to that though. it all depends on what you are considering to be a perfect run, under twingalaxies rules, i dont see a 5:07 being possible. it is probably not that difficult for me to get a 5:07, if i did not follow twingalaxies rules, since i can get under a 5:12 a lot of the time, and can save about 4 seconds with some tricks i think.
right now i have broken the world records for excitebike, track and field, smb1 full completion, f-zero for SNES, and another record. i am very good at the other 2 mario games, so i might go for those next. the ms. pacman scores kind of depend on your luck, as i have heard. that like a 1 in 30 chance you get a certain fruit that gives you a lot of points.
i go for many things at once, but i am hoping for a 5:08 in smb1 the most because under twingalaxies rules i am 95% sure that is perfect. if a 5:07 is possible under twingalaxies rules a still cannot see a person getting it.
a perfect time for me would be about 5:08.1-2
perfect times
1-1- 380
1-2- 346
4-1- 340
4-2- 358
8-1- 200
8-2- 342
8-3- 242 (244 is possible using an emulator doing this crazy thing at the beggining of the level, not humanly possible on a console i think)
8-4- 311? might be a 312, but i have never acheived it.

I think it's often just the initial speed-run that gets all the interest, because they're usually shave hours off the playtime, and most people don't have any idea that a time like that is possible at all. When it comes to shaving off a few seconds here and there most people just think "meh".

i know i can acheieve a time of 5:08, it messed up on 8-1 by 1 game unit, that cost me to not get a 5:08. hope i can get that sometime, that would be awesome, since i think it is unbeatable.
