Artist's Comments:

This is by far the hardest run I have ever done. I had amazing luck with both the magic attacks and my ability to luck manipulate at full speed. Good luck to all who attempt to do the same. Remember, patience is key.

Q&A:

1) Shredder?

Removes boosted stats


2) How to block Culex's physical attack?

Just before it is his turn to start attacking, press A. Trust me, it is worth it even if he doesn't attack. Eventually he will.


3) Why does no one take damage from most attacks?

Safety ring, Super Suit, and Lazy Shell all have secondary effects of preventing instant death attacks and Elemental attacks. The Red crystal uses only elemental attacks; the Green and Blue Crystals usually only use Elemental attacks, and the Earth Crystal uses none.


4) Why so many misses?

Luck Manipulation. Press A, Y, X, or B just before damage appears to have a much greater chance of a miss. With perfect timing, it will always miss.


5) How long did it all take?

A week. 34-37 failed runs.


6) What happens when you fail?

I'll show you in a future video.


7) How did you manage level 6?

A lot of planning and the Lucky Jewel/Hammer.


8) Where do you get the lucky Hammer?

Seaside Town's weapon shop.


9) How do we know it isn't Tool-Assisted?

If it was a TA run, I'd state so, and I'd make it so that no damage was done to the 3 charicters. I'd also show off by doing it with Mario at Level 3. =p

and your level 6 you shouldn't be doing that much

@ShadowBacon10

Look at my stats and equips in the beginning of the video. Since the damage formula for SMRPG is roughly: [attack(bonus-for-correct-timi­ng)*bonus2 (geno boost in this case)] - [(opponent's defense)*opponent's bonuses (none)], it's correct.

@chuggasbiggestfan

Max level is 30 in the game. So you're remembering wrong.

Also, just because you can't do something, doesn't mean nobody else can do it, either. I know nothing about thermal nuclear physics, but I do not deny the existence of those that do.

@modshroom

You should see my Culex speed run, then. Did it in 2:21 I think. XD

[TheJnutt24]

that was amazing

[mecakoto]

@kavinh10

SMRPG doesn't work like that, though. All characters receive HP after the battle, including the ones not used in battle, and, after a battle, every character will start a new one with at least 1 hp.

i am guessing he maxed out mellow to be able to solo all the bosses until he gets to nimbus land and gets mario knocked out so he gets no xp.

@mattlion8

read the description, no hacks. Also, lolgrammar.

[mattlion8]

Your a mortster hacker. Hacking is for noobs

[GoldDragon484]

@mecakoto cheat are enemy attacks do nothing and sorry about calling you an idiot i wasn't thinking

[mecakoto]

@sbodkins

Eh. It's fine. It seems insane if you don't know what to do, so I can understand.

/watch?v=QogsKP4QLkY

The above is the first video in a level 3 run of SMRPG I did. It goes through the entire game with Mario only reaching level 3. You can see exactly how it's done and what to do along the way through it.

@mecakoto I wondered what that shredder attack did...also i didnt see anywhere where it said about lvl 6 except something about a lucky hammer which is very vauge...I could see how the fight could be won w/ super suit and other acessories nullifying most of the attacks but i still don't see how u can be so far in the game and only be lvl 6 u telling me other ppl verified it does little to convince me...sorry not trying to be a jerk just sayin...
