Super Mario Land (GB) exploits

[BobTheBeheader]

So this guy took advantage of the zillions of exploits in SML to beat the game in 12:15. It might be on an emulator in slomo, but it's an interesting look at all the tricks present in an otherwise difficult game. Check out the boss level for Mudo (Submarine level)

First game I ever played on the gameboy. Wasnt that hard to be honest except for the last world. Brings back memories :(

In an odd way it kinda seems like the developers made the game just for speedruns... everything just seemed to line up.

He's using autofire? :con:

And what are the exploits? If you're aiming for the collision errors, than imo that's not exploiting as its not something you can prevent from happening.

What, like people escaping out of multiplayer game levels? That's pretty much the same thing :S

It's tool-assisted (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tool-assisted_speedrun) i.e. uber slomo and save states. When he fires fast it's because he's pressing the button every frame. :p

I liked the part where he made the Tetris shapes out of blocks. That was cool. :]

No, because then they deliberately leave the map (unless the map is really crappy). A collision box that's too small certainly isn't an exploit. I'd not even consider it a bug, but rather a design flaw.
