    My guess is that flagpole glitch exists because there was probably a bug during development that would make Mario slide through the floor and die if he grabbed the flagpole in a certain way. They likely added a failsafe to skip the flag lowering scene if Mario went below the pole. Then later on the bug ended up getting fixed but the failsafe was left in.

His heart rate at the start of this run is not a normal, sitting, resting heart rate, but rather that of the previous run where something unexpected happened, losing him the possibility of the record.

    I really liked the fact that you didn't assume prior knowledge. It was good to remember some old explanation and even see some new ones. Like the more on depth explanation of the flagpole sub-pixel position tied to items. xD

  • @HonkeyKongLive
    @HonkeyKongLive 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    The fact that a quarter second slowdown by touching a pipe in 8-4 was nearly enough to tank a run shows how stupidly optimized SMB runs are. Almost any other game has space for errors, SMB records require new strats and finding ways to make TAS tricks work.

    Have you noticed that Kosmic times all a majority of his unnecessary button presses to beat of the song on each level. It’s especially prevalent when he makes extra jumps that aren’t necessary to clear a gap or jump up to a ledge, or even when he does need to clear a gap or make a ledge height, and when he shoots fireballs in a pair at the end of the melody’s loop, just before grabbing the flagpole on world 2-3. Check this time stamp, 10:10. As well as tapping the buttons in unison with the pipe warp sound effect. Gotta love Kosmic. It’s so enjoyable to watch him completely destroy this classic game.

  • @toboterxp8155
    @toboterxp8155 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I think the reason why framerules are a thing is actually a bit different than you described. As far as I know, SMB just has a global timer, wich decrements every 21 frames. That timer is used for multiple things, such as RNG, and also to time the small pause befor the black level-end screen, as well as the duration it is up. So those things can only last a multiple of 21 frames.

    • @toboterxp8155
      @toboterxp8155 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@paulstelian97 I just checked the disassembly. Smb has a standardized system for Timers. These timers will either decrement every frame or every 21st frame, depending on the timer (the 21 frame rythm is unchanging from game start ). These long-term timers include the level-end and the black-screen timer. The RNG actually just changes every frame, and the perfect timing makes it consistent.
