Super Mario Bros. 3 'All Levels' TAS in
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ต.ค. 2024
- So the TAS is finally done. This was done by me and Lord Tom and has been an ongoing project since November 2013.
TASvideos submission with additional information: tasvideos.org/4...
There is also a commentated version of the run found here: / 40615144
As a comparision, the current World Record on console for this is can be found here www.speedrun.co...
This is a Tool Assisted recording. Meaning it was recorded using an emulator with slow motion, save states and rerecording.
Visit tasvideos.org/ for more information on tool-assisted speedruns, and to watch the many already-existing TASes.

-The road between is the Meishin highway that connects both cities
-The bridge between is the real one between the islands of Honshuu
-The bushes are trees as Japan has a lot of trees.
I like seeing annotations in TAS videos.
+Phoenix Wright it is a nice touch however i wish it was someone talking so i could actually watch the video, i spent so much time reading what they wrote i missed most of it
+KryptCeeper969 If you check the description, I actually have a link to a commentary version. Excuse my bad English and sound quality though...
i didnt even look lol, but good job!
1000 times yes on the annotations. Its cool to see where the frames are saved and how.
Yeah it makes you feel like you're not completely alone just watching TASBoT Play a video game and it helps you to understand some of the cool tricks
Seeing my childhood being beaten this fast puts a smile to my face
I really love your on-screen commentary!
I was going to say that too, lol.
I love the annotations because to an untrained observer such as myself, I wouldn't know what all subtle frame-saving tricks are going on. When I watch a Mario 64 TAS run, I don't really need to be told what's going on, because I can clearly see that Mario just glitched through a solid wall and magically reverse ass-rocket propelled himself across the environment. That game is broken as hell.
The glitches and tricks in SMB3 aren't as flashy and obvious, because SMB3 is one of the most well-refined games ever made and it's not completely obvious when it's being broken, so the annotations make this video as interesting and entertaining as a Mario 64 TAS run despite the gameplay not being as overtly crazy and spectacular.
Magically reverse ass rocket XD
Also, that game is not broken as hell, do you know how difficult that glitch is to pull off?
I know how much hell it is getting p-speed as fast as possible and when you watch a tas like this you never really put any notice in the fact that he fills tye p-meter so fast even tho he probably put lots of effort into it
I am extremely late, but gotta love the effort of subtitling a 230,000-ish frame movie file.
your annotations are really enjoyable. i've never watched other people play video games before.
"can you deliver it during the next auto-scroller?" lol
I really like the comments, it hels you understand the movie more! Awwesome TAS
I agree the captions are really awesome, especially for visual learners (:
Its even better when he entertains you even if the screen is moving super slooowly

I love your on-screen commentary, especially the auto-scrollers in World 5

The sheer amount of 'swag' on 1-4 makes me happy every single time I watch it. It is exactly what tasing on an auto scrolling level should be
Holy crap you made the world 8 autoscrollers actually FUN to watch. That's praiseworthy in and of itself.
best commentary ever
Yeeeeeeees
Ale bardzo.
Impressive run and enjoyable commentary. Good job
holy shit this is so fun to watch! SMB3 is definitely the most fun 2D mario game to watch at its peak, you even made auto levels fun to watch! the annotations where great too ;)
"We don't want to get the leaf here."
"Oops! We got it after all!"

Paused at 2:19. Stared at screen for about a minute. Went into living room, picked up every gaming system I own, tossed them in trash.
TFW you know you can never ever EVER be that good.
Well, it is a TAS after all so I doubt anyone could ever be that good
dumb comment
Some trix are rta possible. 😀
The hardcoded comments are really a treat, very nice. Thanks for Your effort and this brilliant TAS Video.
Probably one of the best SMB3 runs I’ve ever seen, yours and MitchFlowerPowers runs are incredible! Love the annotations explaining all the wall glitches, slides, jumps, and strats too by the way. #Subscribed
this is a tas. not sure if you knew that, but that means that this run is done with tools. this is just a recording of specific movements to do at one time.
super mario bros 3 is such a perfect, thank you to have shown the best of it.
I need more runs with annotations like this.

first time seeing this since i played it in the 90's. This is really Super. Like Unreal. Imagine the time spent just perfecting this. Kudos to all that made this happen. Really Enjoyed it. Thanks
thank you for the annotations; I learned a lot about the game and will help me with my TASes
I love how you get so close to being dead but you don't die good job and good TAS
TAS is fun because you can do ridiculous stuff by playing the game frame by frame

Love the annotations; huge help in appreciating what's going on.
Lmao this was the very first video game i've ever played, watching you beating like this makes me feel sad :(, it is fun to watch how I spend countless hours beating this game as a kid and watch a TAS like this beat the game in one hour, damn!
Woah! Why haven't I found this TAS earlier? This definitely has some of the most informative/entertaining commentary of any speedrun ever! I've played this game many times but still learned quite a few new things. For example: I've been incorrectly calling the "P-wing" a "Pee-wee" for well over ten years now. That's kinda embarrassing.
I watched this while eating a pizza. Delicious and entertaining thanks to your on-screen comments.
Cool run! Thanks for adding the commentary and explaining some things- love when runs do this.
This is the most informative TAS I've seen XD
All TASes should be modeled after this one. Commentary was insightful and entertaining and the run itself was too. Good work!
14:46 Just look at the cheek on this kill from TAS. 👌🏼😭
Thank you so much for adding the annotations!! There are often times when I wonder why speedrunners do certain things and I love the theories behind every move.
It's amazing! Thank you for this video!
Really satisfying to watch, thanks for the video.
Amazing Video.
I loved the comments so much
I wonder how many re-recordings were had just fooling around on the auto-scrollers...
chrf8t Sometimes the swag-strat doesn't quite work.
I'm a little confused on what TAS is. I assumed it was programmed inputs. If that was the case, how come the leaf was grabbed at 1:52? Is it partial played by a human, partial controller inputs?
A TAS is just a series of inputs that were made by playing the game frame by frame and with save states. Every single input press was made by me and Lord Tom. It's very rare that any kind of bot/computer takes a part in the making, it's usually only humans.
The main purpose for the leaf was to fly in 1-Fort, as it's faster to fly up and get the flute than to beat Boom Boom, and it's faster to get the leaf in 1-4 than in the fort, which will also mean that we can have fun with the leaf in the level.
If curious, I can gladly go into more in-depth on how TASes are made, or more details about this run in general.
Can anyone explain the 1-up sound at 41:58? I've gotten it a few times before. Is it a glitch?
That happens if you use you tail shortly after grabbing a 1up. Yeah, it should be considered a glitch I suppose.
Theres a video explaining it. Its basically the mushroom sound effect mixing with with the 1-up tune because memory glitches
ive seen this TAS guy play loads of games...hes always the best. looking forward to another video
I got 1 question though: At 1:02:06. You enter the door and still jump out of it. Shouldnt you of just fall down to save time>?:P
+Martijn van Zanen The conveyor belt doesn't start moving until the P-switch timer runs out. If we jump there we can build up some speed to go into the tunnel before the timer goes out and we land on the belt exactly the frame it starts again.
Ah, I think I get it:) thanks:)

How did you gave text to the tas, where is the option found in the FCEUX?
25:10 and 25:39 and 31:26 lol the TASers are having too much fun with this.
Haha !!body music!
why the points sometime don't match from one end of lvl to the map? did you edit this video? I mean did you take only the best?
No, this video hasn't been edited, it's one consistent recording.
Tell me where the points don't add up.
25:40 LOL at those flame jumps and then shooting your fireballs to the tune of the music!
This is so good with the annotations, very well done!
by 1-4 i knew how i'd be spending my next hour
At 23:55, what do you mean by “not done because world 5 RNG ate the savings”?
The game's Random Number Generator changes every frame, the only way to change it is to either save or lose frames.
We found the faster strategy in that Forrt after already working on World 5. But because we saved time in the fort, this also means we got a nother RNG pattern for the Hammer Brothers, which meant we had to delay frames after finishing the levels in W5 to get a good movement pattern. The amount of frames we had to lose evened out the frames we saved in 4-F2, so in the end we didn't care to redo.
My old account ^
I have to say, I actually like watching auto-scrollers when it's a TAS run. Plenty of time to squeeze in all sorts of tricks.
The thumbnail told the whole story.
The comments really do help, you know what you can or can't pull off yourself
3:01 That sound effect cancel was hilarious.
Mother of fucking god
Mattman 850 Your profile picture fits well with this comment.
1:20 My stress level sky rocked from here.
How do you clip through so many blocks? It's not a rhetorical question, I want an answer please!
If you have high speed and the right angle, it is possible to bypass the wall trigger for the block.
For example, let's say that a wall will block you on pixel 4, 5 and 6. If Mario would move at 3 pixels/frame, he could go from pixel 2 into pixel 5, where the wall will block him. If he instead has a speed of 4 pixels/frame, you can move from pixel 3 to 7, which completely skips past the wall detection. Doing this will also push Mario forward while you are inside the block, so it saves a little bit of time.
The other type of clip, at places like 46:40, is a bit different. First off: Every wall is made out of 16*16 pixel blocks. If you would run or jump into the wall, you'll usually get clipped into it a little bit, like hitting pixel 5 or 6 in the example above. If you do this just above one of these blocks, Mario can actually land on the block beneath him while he's briefly clipped in. At this time, you are able to perform a walljump. The other effect, for the clip, is that Mario will be able to stand up in "midair". The game is programmed so that whenever Mario gets stuck with his head, he'll automatically move to the right until he's through the wall. This can happen at several places in normal gameplay and is a way to avoid getting stuck completely. So you are simply pushed through the wall until the end.
I hope that answers it =).
Thanks! I hope I didn't sound rude btw. But I do get it, and that's pretty cool, to me at least. Also, I have another question; I've been watching a lot of TASes lately and I want to know how you made yours so maybe I can start sometime. And you do know about 7-1 wrong warp right? It was as a joke, right?
This TAS was made using the emulator FCEUX. The method I use for TASing is to simply use something called Frame Advance, which will, as the name suggests, advance the game one frame at a time. Constantly using save states to undo mistakes and try different things. As well as RAM Watch, to read in-game values like Mario's exact position, speed and so on. There are other tools you can use to help out in a TAS, but those are the main once I personally use. You can find a lot more information on here and find all the needed emulators to use: tasvideos.org/WelcomeToTASVideos.html
Yes, we do know about the 7-1 warp =). Lord Tom was one of the people who helped discover it as well. We also finished a TAS of that a year before we finished this one: tasvideos.org/2588M.html
Another question; is FCEUX compatible with Wii systems or no? I checked out their site but it doesn't say anything about Wii
There is an emulator called FCE Ultra GX that people use on homebrew for the Wii. Not sure if it's the best one or not... I never use homebrew myself.
Classic TAS. I look forward to intelligent TAS's where the rom is analyzed and it discovers new tricks and fastest paths.
The game has been analyzed and has been heavily destroyed: tasvideos.org/6466S.html
popular NES games have been searched for pretty much everything at this point, finding a new useful glitch in SMB3 would be a miracle event
The strategies used in the 3 levels beginning at 38:30 make me very happy.
I saw this video years back, thought it was taken down; glad it wasn't!
I have no reason to ever take this down afterall =).
Videos like these are also easily found through the TASVideos website: tasvideos.org/2835M.html
Them speedrun notes. What a godsend for a casual someone like me, who mainly watches for entertainment and not much for the very technical details.
And there is so much more we could have added when it comes to the technical aspect of how we did this and how all mechanics in the game work. But it's nice to shed some light on some of them and I'm glad it has been appreciated by most =).
Como vc faz para manter a corrida? E também como vc faz para o contato dos inimigos não surtir efeito? É cheat? Suas movimentações são incriveis...
This run was recorded frame by frame and with save states on an emulator. Everything is done on an unchanged version of the game and there are no cheat codes active. Meaning everything done here works the same exact way on console.
I can gladly explain stuff in more detail if you want, or point out a timestamp in the run or so.
@@TompaA frame a frame? Puxa vida deve ser um trabalho dificil. Mesmo assim brilhante trabalho parabens...
I've watched this a few times now, and it's always amazing. A question though: The stutter run that is done sometimes, why isn't it used more often if it gets you P speed sooner? I'd guess having to do with finishing levels at the right time to get the Hammer Bros. in the right positions, or something similar.
What it does is help us build up the P-meter in less distance, not actually any sooner. If you run in a straight line, you'll build it up in the same amount of frames as if you were stuttering, though as we don't have to lose speed to stutter, we'll be further ahead once the P-meter is filled.
I hope that explains it =).
Yep, makes perfect sense now. Thanks!
And if interested, here are some more details on how the P-meter works: pastebin.com/RFss7BXN
Thank you for the on screen commentary there's so much I didn't know
Would you possibly be able to do a TAS of the e-reader levels in the GBA port of this? This is possible due to someone ripping the rom from the eshop with a save to play the levels.
Some people have started such TASes, or just TASed certain levels. Here's one such project that was started, but never finished: th-cam.com/video/LvYWI5pqBN0/w-d-xo.html
I personally thought of it awhile ago, but when I noticed that the first level was an autoscroller, I lost interest. Might pick it up in the future, not sure :D.
Love the commentary, kept it nice and light
"You need slow motion to see it though" thank god youtube allows that now
nice pfp
@@RichConnerGMN honestly i see this so much times i dont feel like responding anymore
Very impressive! How much slow motion was applied? Like 0.75x speed or?
All TASes record their inputs frame by frame and there are 60 frames/second for this game. So we basically have the game paused and decides what inputs to be made for the following frame, for maximum perfection =).
Tompa A It seems like a very painstaking process-- similar to the amount of work cartoon animators have to go through.
You're geniuses! I'm out of words to comment your awesome command of the game. In Costa Rica we would say "¡estos maes están volando!" Literally: "These guys are flying," or the expression "¡estos maes están solos!"; but you know they mean you're freaking impressive. Pure Life
Your story about pizza was truely facinating
I wasn't going to watch this video but your commentary style drew me in!
I know this is a TAS, but the third level was very entertaining.
how do you always glitch into the wall? I am doing a TAS of this Game myself and I am happy when I get a Walljump
Getting a walljump and clipping into the ceiling is the same kind of trick really. Sometimes you have to slow down (or speed up...) to get it to work.
To land on the "Walljump pixel" you need to move 3 pixels on one frame. If you have P-speed, you move at 56 subpixel units/frame, which is 3½ pixels/frame. Let's say the Walljump Pixel is on pixel 10 and the wall starts on pixel 8. If Mario is on pixel 5, he'll move to 8 on the next frame, which will have him hit the wall and lose the speed. The same goes if you go from pixel 6 to 9. So in that case, you need to slow down so you'll go from pixel 3 -> 6½ -> 10.
A bit tricky to explain like this, so I'm not sure if you understood =D.
This is too funny! I was really entertained by this.
Therapist: what gives you anxiety
Me: super Mario bros 1-4 tas
Therapist: ?
These guys go all out about saving frames
You did level 1-4 amazingly!
is it possible to achieve a speed of 100 by clipping into 10 question blocks?
You can't get a higher speed than 64.
Not sure what exactly you mean by your question though.
When you clip into a block you gain 10% of max speed.
You don't really gain any speed at all when clipping through a block, though you are pushed forward up to 2 pixels. Speed is the same, so you won't get an increase that you can keep.
Tompa A and I also found out that you can maneuver faster by getting p speed, tapping left while holding b for one frame and jump while holding b.
IF YOU TOUCH THE FLOOR YOU LOSE 1% OF YOUR SPEED. Be careful!
PS: SMB3 has the weirdest one frame touches I'e ever seen. You can float (not really) by just jumping before Mario pops up from the ground slightly from block pushing.
Amazingly well done TAS. Especially the annotations.
Was the Pizza nice? :)
damn son, I loved the comments
well done mate
Being a warpless runner, I find this both amazing and disgusting.. lol. Well done, Tompa and Lord Tom! :D
Gee! This guy has some mad skills!
A TAS is a Tool Assisted Speedrun, meaning the player used slowdown, savestates, and frame advantage and used a TAS Imput to get specific frame by frame movements.
Insane. Alot of frame perfect and pixel perfect tricks here to save time. Crazy to see u crush some levels in 5 6 secs.
There's nothing funnier than a TAS doing an autoscroller.
Most likely the first ever TAS video i watched with text commentary. Very creative, i never skipped any part due to that commentary. Thank you for the entertainment. Subacribed.
3:54 Dude you fireballed the dog!
Why does the game's clock countdown so erratically?
The timer speed changes depending on how much the camera is scrolling horizontally. The more it scrolls, the slower the timer goes. That's why it's always running quite quickly at the start of a level, and then slows down as we build up P-speed. But stays the same in an autoscroller.
I assume it's done like this to preserve memory somehow, but I actually don't know. I started looking into it more on a technical level awhile ago, but never finished to. So no clue =).
Omgosh another TAS by Tompa!? AHHHH HYPE!
"Hey now the hammer bros guys are moving even further away!" - LOL @ the comments in this run, I love it! :D
I love all the little stylish tricks you use in this run, it never gets old!
It's great to see Mario remembering his days as Jumpman.
Hello! this video is awesome. I learned about speed running a year ago and I have been really eager to try and get into Speed running. This is the game that I have been thinking about starting to learn to speed run. This video was so informative! and the comments were awesome and funny and i love when you would make beats along with the music.
Question, Is there a preferred console version of this game to speed run?
Eathan IsEpic The best is a US version for the NES. PAL versions run slower and the Japanese version has a lot of changes that make it slower.
Some people use the Virtual Console for speedruns, but the frame rate is different, making it slower than the NES US version.
And if you want to get into speedrunning this, I recommend checking the record times here: speedrun.com/smb3
I like this game on the all stars nes version. The all stars version is also more fun to watch on a tas because you can make Mario to run backwards!
awesome video and love the commentary on top
