Super Mario Bros. has a Secret Ending

Again, in this exact frame, everything is now in position for the clip and this is where the hard part begins. There are a few different sets of inputs to making this clip, but basically any approach will require you at one point to switch from holding right to holding down. left in a single frame, which is really hard to do, especially when it's just one piece of several moving parts that have to line up here. However, Merrick wanted to achieve it so he got to work practicing, finally managing to get the clip from a Save State and then getting it to play from the beginning of the level and at one point he even managed to get it in a full run game, unfortunately in the race where he got the   clip he missed the full flagpole fails, look, even after falling to the ground, you are not out of danger, the jump to the flagpole is also precise when you approach the flagpole, you must release B to slow down to walking speed to be able to do so. a smaller jump than you would do at running speed so you need to make a perfect frame a frame jump since you only have a one frame window to press jump and you only need to press jump for one frame you basically have to press the button to get the smallest jump possible and that jump has to be timed perfectly, as you can imagine, all of this makes for a very difficult trick even by the standards of this game.

A little further along a runner named kriller appeared and was helping to improve the settings for a After many cheats on this game, he managed to find a new setting for this cheat that didn't have the awkward jump of exactly six frames, but it still wasn't easy and there's no way around the hardest part here where you have to switch from right to left in a box. All these developments for this trick failed a few years ago and to this day only two people have successfully used this trick on a miniland with 2314 and a nii with 23.2.

This is the most optimized category in Super Mario Brothers and it still has first place by more than a second, it should be a pretty amazing quick race. Now let's talk about what makes the nif race the world record. The answer has something to do with minus three minus 3 has a history and influence on speedrun dep

on when you look at the history, this was a difficult level, a completely trivial level or once again a very difficult level. This stage, as I mentioned above, is a copy of 4-4, but underground where things get interesting. it's here 44 it's supposed to be a maze if you don't take the right path you get stuck in a loop until you find the right exit you have to go down the bottom path and when you do you can see this on the paths above a walled area which you would normally never be able to access due to the looped maze mechanic, in the minus 3 version of this level there are none of these loops, you can take whichever path you want, that means you can end up here, if you take the higher paths Now what this should mean is that we have to go the lower path, what it actually means is that we have the option to go the higher path and still advance through the level if we can beat this. wall, it would be faster than sp

time going down to the lower path A while ago I mentioned that in the early days of this category people would get the mushroom to get to the negative world now if you have the mushroom and get here.

As Big Mario, you can do the same kind of crouch jump clip you used to get to the negative world to get here in minus three and then you can run over the top of the Maze and beat the stage faster. This was a great trick in Run Backwards, then once people started looking for the little, harder Mario clip to get to the negative world, they couldn't do the clip in minus 3, one two, they became much harder, but minus 3 now was basically free the last time you finished the race. In essence it was determined by the frame rule where you got to minus three if you got there with a new faster frame rule adding an extra P flag fault or something like that it was pretty much a new guaranteed PB or world record the biggest part of the time, people.

We started to bond a lot in this category because of how simple this level was, we needed a solution and luckily there was one. I know I've already shown several clips like little Mario in this video, so what's the problem with this one? I mean you had to clip to get to the negative world like little Mario in the first place, just do it again, well this time we have a different situation on our hands for clipping in general, you want to get as far as possible. You can do it during the jump, usually you go all the way in or more for most of the way and then do a couple of jumps to get the rest of the way, but with this ceiling right above us, in minus three, we can't really hop. on the wall from a very good angle you can't get very far on your initial jump but you can get just enough to start slashing and then four more jumps from there will finish this trick is hard but it's a It's really good that it's possible, so Otherwise, eventually we would have like 10 people tied for the world record and it would be very boring the same way.

We are very lucky that 84 in the regular run of any% is such an interesting figure and difficult to optimize the level, it would have been really boring if everyone was constantly tied to each other there and if it was like every other castle stage in the game, that's what would have happened, instead we got a level that made for a really interesting speedrun, it's almost as planned. To be well, everything we have covered so far is the

secret

to success in the end of the negative world. This is a classic hyper-optimized category where there is a difficult trick in each level and each improvement is just adding an extra trick to an otherwise already perfect race.

In the past, people would get the mushroom and try to get the Negative World clip first. They tried to make the full flag error minus one and the big Mario clip in minus three. We then started looking for the small Mario clip at 1-2 skipping the The mushroom saved so much time that it was significantly faster even without the minus 3 clip and from there you could add flag draw glitches to save a frame rule to the time, but at some point you ran out of framework rules to save and had to do it. add the minus 3 clip, but that wall clip saves more time than the po flag glitches, so you could afford to remove them and still get a PB using the clip once we had all the flag glitches po and the clip minus 3 of the category.

It was coming to an end until people like Merck niy and miniland came along and started making the minus two story clip for a full flag poet. That trick saves so much time that Minian skipped a miss of a flag and the clip at minus three and is still good for second place, but first place is the crazy one, and only 230 on the leaderboard, this one led by nify has a flag miss on 1-1, quick little Mario clip on one, two quick full flag misses on minus a perfect floor clip. and the complete failure of the P flag at minus two and the clip at minus three and even that wasn't good enough for niy and his first run that did all the tricks made the final clip a little slow, it was so close to 23 .3, so He continued that same day and got to minus three again and this time he had a very good clip that took him to 23.3, which was really satisfying, but again now he's so close to 23.2 that a year then he returned, this time making rapid acceleration. trick at the beginning of minus three, he did it and he also had the best clip in any negative world ending and that gives him the world record today at 23029 again, it's so close to 230,000 now, but don't worry, it doesn't go below 23.1 The ni's record is seven frames of Perfection 230. 13 will be the best time anyone can get because you need crazy fast double acceleration at the beginning and you need a different approach to the clip, which is harder and saves two frames that you need. more complex inputs while hooking onto the wall, you need a perfect jump frame on each jump and then you need to stay at just the right moment once inside, squeezing each frame out of this level won't be easy.

Nifk is confident that a 23.1 will happen, but a perfect 230 points 1 well, we are not really sure at the moment, maybe one day, after all, a game like Super Mario Brothers will be solved, this game is still full of surprises, thanks for watching. And subscribe if you liked it.
