"air" - Mario Puzzles For The Obsessive Fan

A response to: http://www.videosift.com/video/What-Mario-Would-Be-Like-In-Hell

This is a hack/edit of Super Mario Bros called "air". The new version is basically a puzzle where you have to find out how to exploit all the various bugs in the original game. These bugs let you do things like jump into walls, jump on enemies the same height as you, etc. This romhack also changes the engine a bit to allow for infinite jumps in mid-air, though that really doesn't make it any eaiser.

(note - most of the "walking through walls" are actually bugs in the original SMB, not hacks for this version of the game)

This run by Genisto and the people at tasvideos made a great movie of the game being played. They use tools to re-record out the errors and make the run perfect, so it's a nice short and fun watch. The discussion they have about the video and hack itself is interesting, too.

I think the most insane part of the video is that you have to die on the last bowser fight, so it puts you back on your next life on the next tunnel down. You only get one life for all of this. If you didn't get enough coins in the levels to gain an extra life, you can't finish the game!

If that wasn't enough, it ends with a strange, almost existential ending, asking you to start the insanity all over again! O.O
