The point of this competition is to beat the game as fast as you can.


NEW RULE: You cannot cheat or use glitches of any sort.

VIDEO REQUIRED: You must post a video of yourself accomplishing the score you submit. You must use the RGR Plugin's built in video recording capabilities. The video submission has to be a single video, it cannot be broken into parts so if you recorded it in parts, be sure to merge them into a single video.

RULES: You MUST play the game using the RGR Plugin in 'Timetrial Mode' and take a screenshot of the ending screen by pressing F6 when you've completed the game. To play in 'Timetrial Mode', scroll down the page where it shows the Speed Runs, you'll see a link that says 'Click Here to Compete for Speed Run', click that. Once you've taken your screenshot, click the link near that one that says 'Click Here to Submit your Speed Run' to submit your speed run. The video must be uploaded to the vizzed youtube account. The video submission has to be a single video, it cannot be broken into parts.


Prizes:
1st = 10,000 Viz
2nd = 2,500 Viz
3rd = 1,000 Viz


Competition begins now.

This one should be fun. I actually did my own little speed run of this game back in November, so I am somewhat prepared for this one. There are just a couple of spots I tend to lose one life on when doing a speed run, both of which are in Wart's castle. That level is significantly more difficult when you don't go out of the way to get life increasing mushrooms, giving you only 2 hits before you die.

This may be one that I try to find the time to compete in. My problem is that I never seem to have the time to focus on one game. I do enjoy this one though and it should be a fun challenge.

Davideo7 : I actually did a Super Mario Bros. 2 Christmas Hack for a YouTube video, so I'll be trying this..
Sounds fun!

Are Co-op speed runs allowed?
If yes I'll ask someone to play

The Mother of Mother 3 : That means you have recent experience with this game which means you have no excuse not to participate in this one

TheJmsGamer : Co-op speed runs are not allowed but that's actually a future feature, I'd like to eventually incorporate special competitions where users have to speed run the game cooperatively.

-Davideo7-
Okay, but i found out that Super Mario Bros. 2 is Solo only, so it doesn't work in Co-op mode xD

TheJmsGamer : Oh I know Super Mario Bros is a single player game, I thought your question was regarding speed run games in general.

Are we allowed to use the shortcut at the beginning of World 6-3 where you go under the wall using the quicksand? Or would doing that be considered cheating?

NintendoFan0513 : If it was intended to be in the game than you can go ahead and use it.

NintendoFan0513 : Though it is generally not a good idea to reveal specific shortcuts that you intend to use, just in the off chance that the ones who compete don't know about it. That could be the difference between 1st and 2nd, or 2nd and 3rd.

Competition over, results coming soon.
