Super Mario 64 passed in 20 minutes

He used a few glitches, but it's still amazing.



Sorry if this has already been posted, but I searched for Super Mario and didn't see anything...

Yup he's quite a crafty one. I think only the European version has some of those glitches. And who needs to beat bowser when I once made it to the top of the castle with 0 stars. I suppose combine the two for the icing on the cake, minus yoshi.

Pretty impressive when I think back to how cautious I was on those levels, especially the levels before Bowser, he just long jumps through everything.

That long jump is what I miss most in Mario Sunshine. I would travel everywhere using that jump like this kid does.

Just finished watching it, and it makes me want to go back and play this game again on the N64. It just doesn't have the same feel on the DS.

Impressive! SM64 had such great control it was amazing some of the glitches and shortcuts people were able to find and do.

one of my best achievements was making it to the top of Peach's castle without using the cannon. I remember trying for an hour to do it and finally succeeding.

and this is off topic but "passed?"

It's not that long a watch if you enjoyed this game. I watch a little, do something, watch a little more. Worth at least 5 minutes of watching.

I did the jump trick in the DS version to get to the top of the castle with Luigi to get the last minigame without having to get all 150 stars.

The DS version is fun but the controls are mediocre. The original N64 game is still one of the best games ever made.

As far as the DS controls go, I gave up on the touch screen very quickly. The directional pad wasn't so bad once you got used to it.

Great video. A friend and I spent months playing through those levels, and only made it 2/3 through the game.

Wow, the speed at which some of the levels were played was amazing.

Does anybody know if this was a "natural" run or a "conditioned" run (ala the famous Mario 3 in 7 minutes).

Actually I really loved the touchpad controls. I was worried about how I would get all the stars using it but it soon became second nature. I hope Nintendo doesn't give up on it as I think it is a pretty good replacement for the analog stick. Once you get the hang of it you own't go back to the crosspad in SM 64.

Ahhh now I see. I thought he was referring to the length of the movie obviously, but nevermind then.

I was referring to the game. Obviously if it's beatable in under 20 minutes, the gameplay time to cost ratio isn't where it needs to be for me to get this.
