Sooooo, this video is getting way more popular than I could ever imagined, so here are some explanations and answers to most asked questions :) I put links for more info at the end of this comment, if you are curious - Is this really legit? => Well, there is no video or game modification, everything you see is doable on any U.S. version of the game on an actual NES. Basically, I get the two flutes to get to 7-1 as fast as I can, nothing much to say there. Then the crazy stuff happens: I kill some piranha plants to free their memory slot so it can be filled with the koopas/paratroopas. Then I need to put 3 shells at a precise position on screen (only the horizontal position actually matters), to setup the final step, that brings me to the end of the game - WTF, no way there's a hidden pipe that takes you to the end?! => Correct. Two sided piped like this one check if you are either on top of them and pressing down, or hitting them from below and pressing up. The thing is, in this game, every solid collision is made of tiles (a tile is a 16 pixels wide square, iirc). So if you are hitting a wall with enough speed, with Mario's feet just above a tile, the game will consider Mario walking onto that tile for a frame (in this case, a 60th of a second). So by keeping the down button pressed during this frame, the game allows us to enter the pipe form the side, to go downwards. Note that this can be done in many pipes in the game! Once you are sent downwards, you end up prrety much in a garbage place where you have absolutely no reason to be; you are not in a portion of the level that is intended, or even designed. There, by bumping an invisible note bloc, we force the game to execute some assembly code, depending on the values already loaded in memory. If you are just doing it randomly, you'll very very likely just crash the game. However, the rest of the 7-1 is useful precisely for this: it allows to put the desired values onto the right memory slots (the horizontal position of the koopa shells). They are exactly at the right number, so that when the game tries to convert these numbers to some code to execute, the code is "hey bro, bring me to princess Peach, I don't have time for that" (or more exactly, execute the end of the game routine) - Is this TAS? => No it's not. A TAS is wonderful demonstration of what is in theory possible in the game, using tools such as frame by frame control, savestates to redo things if you didn't get it right... This video is just a normal run done by a human (me :D), with no such tool. A TAS using this strat can beat the game in less than 3 minutes. Also, while this run was very good 7 years ago when I did it, it is now about 50th place on the leaderboards, the WR beating the game in 3 minutes 2 seconds. - Why do speedrunners always break the shit out of the game, can't they stop using glitches all the time? That's cheating! => Hey, that's not true! In fact, the leaderboards have 4 separate categories, this one being the only one to use such major glitch. And it's probably the less popular one among the speedrunners of the game, altough some curious souls (like me) just like to try to get a run done to see what it's like to beat a game from their childhood in less than 4 minutes ^^ More technical explanation on what's going on: tasvideos.org/4288S A TAS played on real NES to prove it's not due to some emulation inaccuraty: th-cam.com/video/E2QlihJAZEQ/w-d-xo.html Super Mario Bros. 3 speedrunning leaderboards: www.speedrun.com/smb3#Any An hilarious TAS showing how this same glitch can lead to much more interesting results than just beating the game: th-cam.com/video/UrIcz8iGJ14/w-d-xo.html Also I'm member of a french speedrunning crew named the SpeedRunning Machine.

Even without speedrunning you notice it. I always liked it because the 300 second timer still remained for the most part. So it gave you alot more leeway with exploring the map and looking for secrets. Comparing it to SMW maps I always felt rushed trying to search around for secrets because you still had the same time limit but the levels were longer and you had way more secrets to find, which I guess is made up for by being able to replay the levels as many times as you wanted
I love the coding in these old games. So much space is shared and reused to make things fit, that you can just shove values in places and get the game to go like "oh ok I guess"
I've actually seen a video where some guys got together and wrote code to execute controller inputs in a certain sequence. They reached the Princess in 2 seconds by using controller inputs!
"No matter where... or when... in time we go... he's always a parallel universe ahead of us!" - Luigi (from Something About Super Mario All-Stars Speedrun ANIMATED)
Imagine discovering this when it came out. Or at least by 1995. Damn that'd be insane! Some freaking lil kid playing with his friends and shocking the whole house. 😆
In the movie The Wizard when they're playing a SMB3 tournament, and the little kid just takes a glitched warp pipe in 7-1 and sh*ts on the competition. They would've been dumbstruck.
What's amazing in The Wizard is how thry knew about the whistle in 1-3, despite NEVER knowing about the game previously. And why, if the competition was based on points, why he suddenly got a ton of points just for making it to World 2 lol. "I love the Powerglove. It's so bad."
@@Somari What makes it look like TAS? Nowhere in the title or description is that indicated, and much of the earlier levels are very unoptimised (for example missing p speed before going behind the black screen)
I can't believe it took me 20+ years to beat this game level by level and you just did it in 4 min. I had no idea you could do the things you did in this game. Amazing work
I actually know whats going on. In 7-1, you setup koopa shells' x position for Arbitary Code Execution, and by entering the pipe the wrong way, you go to down to... a junk area where you can find an invisible note block to execute your code.
@@davidbermudez7704 yes I've been a software engineer for many years and that's not something you can just "know" it's something that's discovered so he must have already heard of this trick somewhere. Just think there could have been many different technical reasons for the glitch besides arbitrary code execution.
The reason for the sudden influx of people wanting to watch this is because of Terminalmontage's video "something about super mario" The fact that many things in the video is from the actual speedrun is super cool
Is this exploit possible in any kind or form for the all stars version? in super mario world can you programm the game to become flappybird or skip to the end.
Welcome to any% glitch speedruns. Where the only goal is to exploit the game to get to the end screen as fast as possible. There are 100% glitchless no-warp speedruns out there. I think the record for beating this game in that category is 55 minutes or so
When my sister was 14 she spent the entire summer grinding through this game and when she got world 7 level 1 she tried doing the red cube glitch and ive never seen someone in more agony and frustration than when she tried to do that. She spent a week trying and theb just gave up and beat it legit.
still an amazing run today ! but at 2:05, couldn't you just re-use the whistle in the warp room instead of entering world 2 ? it made you lose like 5 seconds
King Koopa: "Hmmm what's taking Mario so long? Oh well...I'll better see how Princess Peach is doing back in her room" *looks in the room* King Koopa: "WHAT?! She has disappeared! But how?!?!!!!!"
I imagine myself discovering this glitch by accident in 1991 when I was 9 years old... and then nobody believing me that it's real and trying in vain for years to repeat whatever I did to find it.

That is f****** awesome that made my day!
My question is how the hell did you manage to figure all this out?
you never realize how short mario 3 stages are until you speedrun them
SMB3 focused on having lots of short levels that experimented with different ideas.
Even without speedrunning you notice it. I always liked it because the 300 second timer still remained for the most part. So it gave you alot more leeway with exploring the map and looking for secrets. Comparing it to SMW maps I always felt rushed trying to search around for secrets because you still had the same time limit but the levels were longer and you had way more secrets to find, which I guess is made up for by being able to replay the levels as many times as you wanted
@@ElliotKeaton Not just experimented but some what challenging too.
Crazy too, cuz as a kid, the levels felt HUGE! This game felt huge.
@@risenfromyoutubesashesagai6302 yeah I felt because of all the new stuff over smb1 & 2 you just ended up staying on levels for ages fascinated
“Mario!! Save me!!!”
“Don’t worry I’ll be there in 3 minutes and 31 seconds!”
King Koopa: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"
@@user-bk9fk2tq2zThat's exactly why Bowser keeps coming back: Mario just warps straight to where Peach is instead of beating him
I love the coding in these old games. So much space is shared and reused to make things fit, that you can just shove values in places and get the game to go like "oh ok I guess"
It's yes just yawl our u's servers are the same
I've actually seen a video where some guys got together and wrote code to execute controller inputs in a certain sequence.

You actually beat the game. He just glitched his way to the end. Big difference in my book.

Thank you so much for this video, because now i can *animate all the footage*
Another favorite speedrun is the Mario 64 with 16 stars in 15 minutes. Some serious Dr. Strange shit in that one!

In 1993, it took me 4 hours to complete this game with regular nes machine hooked to tv. This guy can do it in 4 min.
great run!!
oh the 7-1 pipe code reroute trick. i was sitting here thinking how can you beat world 8 that fast lol. i forgot about that trick. nice run :P
That's so old. Me and my friends used to do that when the game was new.
why are u retarded
Is this exploit possible in any kind or form for the all stars version? in super mario world can you programm the game to become flappybird or skip to the end.
Imagine going through a lot to get to Princess Peach only to hear her joking and saying "just kidding! Bye bye" 👁👄👁
Two cool tricks I didn't know. Like going through the worlds though.
How can I record a video like this?
Bro wth that was awesome how why and wow I’m speechless how did your learn this voodoo.

That level is literally broken
Why is mario so prone to warping reality
Behold... THE INTERDIMENSIONAL TOILET!!
still an amazing run today ! but at 2:05, couldn't you just re-use the whistle in the warp room instead of entering world 2 ? it made you lose like 5 seconds

If you had discovered it back in '91 playing on a crt tv as a kid you could have been glitched into the code. Never to be heard of again
I could never speed run this game.
I love this game so much that I enjoy taking the long route.
Makes me wonder how much free time the people who find this really have
