i managed to pause at the title screen. it says: the days which are wrapped in the scene of summer and to pass gently. an encounter with the girls repeated in the sunlight. summer continues to where as well. she is waiting in the AIR.

Actually, I've beaten this without a death before. In that part of 4-3 with the two bowsers, just go under the whole thing, then when you get to the end, turbo jump through the "floor" and go into the pipe.

I can see that the reason genisto didn't use that strategy was that he was trying to do as few "airjumps" as possible.

How did you run through the walls and bounce off the air? Are they just invisible objects?

thanks! before, i was getting lucky by just jumping on to a wall and pressing a as fast as i could. :P

Everything in mario is made up by sprites - small images at 16x16 pixels. Mario is a sprite too. If you manage to hit the wall exactly when one of the wall blocks and the mario sprite is at the exact same height, the game thinks you're on the ground for a split second. That makes you able to jump. It's really hard to time, so good luck!

i have a question:

how do you do the walljump? and can u put it in simplist form? its not that im retarded, its just that its hard to understand. :P

[SMGPlayer]

It is possible to jump in the air when you want. But that is the only thing the hack changes. The times where it is possible to go through walls would be possible in the real game too.
