We think only a record holder can know what you go through to set a record, so we only let people that
have already set world records downvote other people's records.
What can I do?
Go set a record! If you can think of it, you can set a new world record for it.
and to answer the dissappearing plant games of this caliber were subject to whats known as glitches...most notably sometimes enemies will dissappear or you can get stuck in a game sprite which enemies will keep coming and coming...most notably ninja gaiden
This guy is the real deal. He did it live in front of Shigeru Miyamoto. The questionable stuff is all about how hit detection works in the game. So it may look weird, but it's legit.
wouldn't it have been faster to not jump to the top of the flagpole, but instead to drop, then jump as low as possible on the pole, thus a much shorter slide time? Plus Nate's reply seems very true....
Second warpzone he took he would have had to climb the vine you dont take the pipe to the mushrooms. Vines take you to the sky where the mushroom warpzone is. This is fake the pipes in this game take you only underground.
It all looked legit except for the jump through the wall of Bowser's hammers, although with a game that old, he probably just round a hole in the hit detection.
Wonder what the record is if you don't use various bugs (going down pipes that weren't meant for you to go down, wall jumping, jumping into sides of enemies to kill them)

Andrew is a legend.
Alex Cunningham
I have to ask... Did you ever lose a run because you accidentally jumped into Bowser's axes?
Andrew Gardikis
Yes, twice... and both would have beaten this time slightly. :(
Eric Cummings
Excellent run Andrew! Thumbs up on this WR from a fellow runner.
Benjamin Humphrey
this is bs, look at abou 4:35 he double jumps in mid air to get to the pipe? wtf
Daryl Kiddey
this is no double jump in 8-4 except the wall jump on the floating pipe. Well documented game issue.
Benjamin Humphrey
arent you special

Steven Helbert

Trevor Cornect

Here's a FAQ for people who don't know the technical side of the game.
Clay Mitchell
and the disappearing plant at 4:30 right before he jumps down the pipe is very suspicious...

Daryl Kiddey
Wrong, pipes only take you underground if the camera is in the correct position. which 99.9% of the time it is.
However if you screw witht he camera, pipes can take you to the screen warp before or after then. hence 4-2 and 8-4.

Brings back some serious memories. If only I had a video camera and RecordSetter when I was in 8th grade.
