• WOW! That's so hard. I would take me at least 10 years to finish this game. That guy is brilliant!

• Why you gotta kill Yoshi so many times? Asshole.

• You should totally watch this: http://www.youtube.com/user/zgraca1

• Okay, this is officially the Most Ridiculous SMW Hack.

• Game developers, listen up... .. if you ever, Ever... EVER put a stage like this in a Mario game and expect me to buy it, I will not. Instead, I will buy something else... after I find you... and KILL YOU. And I think whoever made that is missing the point. Aren't games supposed to be FUN?!?!? That's just sadistic!!!!

• Looks like someone's never heard of Kaizo before.

• I'm pretty sure this is the gaming equivalent of that video from The Ring. So does this mean Shigeru Miyamoto's going to die in seven days?

• you can't use bbcode when you ain't in a forum :D

• i think i just got mind fucked...hard

• Art even!

• And Ebert says games aren't are. Pah.

• The soundtrack is all wrong, methinks...either the music from the first Matrix trailer, or something from Inception would do better.

• Flawless victory.

• Insane. Just insane.

• I just know that, for my sins on earth, I will have to beat this Mario level in Purgatory before I can ever reach Heaven.

• I actually felt sick watching that. Even though I know it isn't really being played by a person, it's still terrifying to behold.

• Oh man... that was just fun to watch. Thanks for posting it! Cool hack.

• This is a TAS video. It is done using tools to achieve superhuman play, but it is no less fantastic. The level of OCD required is incomprehensible. http://tasvideos.org/

• While this is quite impressive, especially the hacking job, there's two reasons it's not as impressive as it might seem. [i]or that someone is actually able to play it with a combination of items, glitches, and a great deal of split-second time. [/i] I see you're not familiar with the idea of a TAS. I'd explain it, but these guys can do it better http://tasvideos.org/WelcomeToTASVideos.html [i]Or that it's the same person who did both[/i] That's arguably less impressive, as these kind of ROM hacks are essentially giant puzzles, and he already knew the solution...

• TAS = Tool-Assisted Speedrun. They're essentially getting the game to play itself. It's still impressive since they had to design the hack and figure out how to play through it and run the TAS, but I just wanted to clear up that it's not someone sitting there and playing through the level flawlessly.

• Watching it just gave me an anxiety attack The horror of playing it as a child, one thousand fold.

• You could have also used the "too much free time" tag

• I'm no gamer, so this might not be saying much, but this is the most impressive gaming display I've ever seen. Kudos to all involved

• this is nowhere near the most sadistic mario level I have seen. that said the annotations are pretty neat.

• ...what the hell did I just watch? Wow.

• Watching that almost gave me a heart attack.

• This is magical T__T.

• WTF :O

• That was a thing of beauty :'-)
