Super Mario Bros. - 600 points, no deaths

Success! Here I achieve the (almost) lowest score possible in Super Mario Bros. for the NES. No save states or slowdown was used, but I did increase the frame skip by quite a bit when waiting at the flag poles. Since you probably don't want to watch that, I cut out almost 8 minutes of video where I'm just running out the clock.

I pull off a couple interesting tricks and glitches to make this work. In 4-2, I backwards jump into a few obstacles to scroll the screen without Mario to trick the pipe into taking me to the vine's usual location. In 8-1, I have to perform a pretty precise jump off a goomba to avoid some coins. Also, getting under the first set of 2 coins towards the end of this level takes a very careful jump, and always makes me nervous. In 8-4, I scroll the screen to just the right position to allow me to use some blocks as platforms. No wall jumps are required in this run at all. :)

I show off a bit at the start, but after 8-1 I start to take my time. 8-3 is really a tough level. I took a chance to run and jump past a couple hammer bros. towards the end, but the final 2 I took slow. These are close together, so getting by them the careful way proves to be quite challenging. As you can see, there were a lot of hammers to dodge there.

Anyway, enjoy!

The pipe on 2:31 does not lead to any warp zone on my NES. What do you have to say about that? I don't want to believe that this is fake...

PEACH: Seriously Mario: 600 points? No coins? No mushrooms? Only one Goomba dead? Waiting out at the flagpoles? You're an even more pathetic plumber than your impotent brother, Luigi!

LOL! :D

Why didn't you just run straight at Bowser at the end? If you do that he jumps over you everytime.

Coolness. I hope the glitch works in SMA as well cuz I wanna try this soon since my NES is kinda shaky right now unfortunately.

[exxor9108]

@blakfloyd Its a glitch you can perform by sending Mario as far right of the screen as possible. The screen still sees the programming of the secret exit and the pipe carries that use of the secret, taking you to the warp zone, rather than to the bonus area.
