New Super Mario Bros.: World 8-2 "any%" TAS

[sperberc01]

Wow, that's even amazing for a TAS...

[shadowclone452]

Awesome job, man!

[TheFinalBoss726]

this is awesome!

[Paladinight]

what happens if you finish at time 255?

[LightBlueYoshi]

Finishing with a time that has the last two numbers the same numbers gives you a firework bonus (for points), as well as a free item on the world map. Being a speedrun, however, we want to avoid this! We don't need the extra help and time-consuming congratulations! ;)

[Paladinight]

@LightBlueYoshi odd lol I've never noticed that when playing XD, but yeah that seems like a really pointless easter egg. BTW Where did you drop the 2 frames in I think I have a rough idea but I'd really like to know :)

[LightBlueYoshi]

We lost the frames in the final room! I slowed down a little at the first midair platform to go underneath the second midair platform.

[RodrigoAmaral666]

@LightBlueYoshi

What about losing 1 frame, instead of 2?

[LightBlueYoshi]

Losing 1 frame isn't enough to drop the timer to 254; we still need to lose that second frame... :(

[KyuremRocks]

@LightBlueYoshi is it possible to get 255?

[terrotim]

oh my! that was brilliant! im jealous of these creative timesavers you've been finding xD. looks like there was a little adjustment in that second wall jump also. what does that minor change do?

anyways, great job.

[LightBlueYoshi]

Do you mean the wall jump in the bonus area? There was a certain frame I could enter the pipe. It looked "cleaner" if I slowed myself a bit and ran to it to enter on the very frame I'm allowed to!

(Also, you've reminded me that I still have to update the WIP... This level has been finished for a while now, but I forgot to update it.)

[terrotim]

@LightBlueYoshi actually, i mean the alternative wall jump. like in the last water area, instead of staying directly next to the wall during the jump, it looks like mario arched his upward movement before he did the actual wall jump.

[LightBlueYoshi]

Oh, that! Haha...

You don't have to be completely next to a wall to wall jump. So, by moving a little bit away from the wall and approaching it at the right time, you can wall jump a bit farther from the spot you usually would.

[Th3Flam3BoY]

00:38 Oh, you can walljump here too! I'd like to TAS this game! Awesome TAS LBY! :)

[EricSmyth14]

@Th3Flam3BoY too slow

[Th3Flam3BoY]

@EricSmyth14 Hey, I've never seen a TAS of NSMB :P
