So the 11 minute mario 3 speed run was amazing, right? Well, it still is but just based on the sheer amount of time it took to create the damn thing. Probably would have been easier to just actually get that good at the game.
I'm sorry for those, like me, who felt that the Mario 3 video was one of the most amazing things they have ever seen. Truth be told, the video is fake.
There proof comes straight from the horses mouth. At the end of the video, there are url's to two different websites. The soramimi.egoism.jp one is the one with the proof. The site is in Japanese, but a translation done exposes the truth.
I QUOTE: ZURU is carried out. It is dropping and moving by the emulator till 1/30 second. Save and loading are repeated and recorded during movie record.
When a mistake is saved and made before a dangerous place, it is touch called loading. The translation is poor, but you get the point.
The video was done on an emulator FRAME by FRAME, with constant usage of save states to correct any errors. The only true feat in the whole video is that a person actually took the time to map out every level and know the patterns for all the enemies. Actually performing the task of playing took little skill, however.
The guy that did the video never actually meant for everyone to believe it was a person playing in real time. He also says: I think I am sorry very much so that the dream of the pure person who considered may be ruined.
It should have written beforehand. and I am very sorry to people considered to be a play by people's hand seriously
Also in the translation, it states that it took the guy 2 years to do it. The Japanese must have a lot of free time on their hands.
For a full transcript of the translation (although it is loose), here is a link

The guy used an emulator, not an NES to play. When he played the emulator, he moved mario frame by frame. He saved every frame of the game, so if he made a mistake he could just go back to the previous frame and correct it. Or, in the case of the hands that come up and snatch you as you pass over the boxes, he just removed the frames of him getting snatched.
Since there are 30 frames playing per second, and the video is 11 minutes long, he went through almost 20,000 individual frames, and then the video basically played the individual frames seamlessly as thought the game were being played in real time.
So I know this has been posted before, but god damn this is ridiculous. It took him 2 years to doctor 20,000 frames just to get a "wow, that's cool" out of random people on the internet.
