Note: Read small FAQ at bottom for where to find the game.
Holy shit, I can't believe I pulled this off. I got INSANELY far on this run. I'll spoil it in the next paragraph, but god damn, I did not expect to get that far. For the record, Impossible Mode playthroughs are somewhat annoying (other than dying) because when you do die you have to restart the program (or select "new"). When you die on Impossible Mode, if you try to start another run, "game over" appears as soon as you start and it's stuck on the screen. So that makes doing the Impossible Mode runs really annoying. And everytime I do "new", it resets my custom controls, since there are no settings.
But yea, after 50 or so attempts, I managed to get this far, and at the moment it seems I have the record of getting farthest on the upper path. If you're curious, the Youtube user KyperTrast (another IWBTG master) had the record on that one before I did this. It's actually rather funny, I only have gotten to Mecha Birdo twice on this Impossible Mode, and the first time I died in the SAME exact spot the SAME exact way he did. I was going to live with that, but I decided to try again, and 10 or less tries later, I got this video. So yea, if I didn't keep playing it'd have been a tie. I died in the room with the fan. The death sucked, I spaz jumped into a spike instead of triggering Ryu to pop up. If I had passed that one room I'd have made it to the end, and gotten to start at the beginning again. I don't think I'll ever be able to pull ALL that off again, so I'm living with this video unless someone does better. Oh and yea, I had the "Disable shit to run better" or whatever option enabled to try to prevent any lag, that's why you don't see stuff like the flame trail when falling from the sky, or the explosion effect thingy against Mecha Birdo.
As for IWBTG videos, I only have the Hidden Items videos left, and a Boss Rush video. For the items, I did something different, to see how it'll turn out. Also, in other news, I finally got a Wii. It turns out after about two months of waiting, GameStop got in more Wiis. It cost me like $250 (not including tax) for the Wii. Much better than buying it online. I also pre-ordered Brawl while I was at it. So guess what that means? I'll be doing Brawl videos when it comes out. I know there's already many, but you know.

Q: Where do you download the game?
A: http://kayin.pyoko.org/iwbtg . The version I DLed is 1.0, the newest is at the top. The differences are things like new hidden items and boss rush feature, as well as bug fixes.
Q: Do I need an Emulator for this?
A: No, its actually its own game. In fact, you can't. So that means no cheap save states or any of that crap.
Q: I swear this game is impossible, I can't get past this one room, are you sure it's possible?
A: Every new room you enter will tend to feel impossible most of the time until you figure out how to do it. Some of it is trial and error, while the rest is skill and sometimes luck.
Q: If you die, is it really a game over?
A: Yes, but you revert to your last save point. At anytime in the game you can press the "R" button to revert to a save point.
Q: What is Impossible Mode?
A: No save points.
