Hello, my name is Svenne and I speedrun this game! Was it all a dream? All I know is that Doki Doki Panic sucks because you cannot run in that game. Which makes this version the superior one!

If you are interested in learning this game or racing it, just let me know!

Here are some of my various Super Mario Bros. 2 moments:

Me and Arva made alot of TAS research on Super Mario Bros. 2 in March-May of 2012. Here is the result! I had invented the warping and the mouser-skip, but always got different results on the 1-1 vine but Arva had within 15 minutes the answers I was looking for. We held our research secret until AndrewG released his Key-skip on 1-3 which was perfect for us. So we used the key-skip combined with our own tricks and this is the end result:

Getting a weird glitch on the speedrunning charity marathon European Speedster Assembly during a race:

After getting the glitch on ESA I tried for days to get it recorded on emulator so I could send it to TAS-videos and get some answers, so when I finally did, I was pretty happy:

So I posted the video on TAS-videos and got the answers! The is actually a teleportation glitch. I teleport Toad two screens down, and he dies instantly because there is nothing there! Read more about it and Super Mario Bros. 2 on TAS-videos: http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=86&start=440

This is the Super Mario Bros. 2 race from ESA2013! The race shows some glitches and improvements in routing.

I finally became official World Champion on Super Mario Bros. 2 when I beat JeffroSledge on All Levels in September 2013

I'm running this one casually again, going for a "glitched" time. I'll try to get a stream going soon, though it'll probably just be a crappy webcam.

In addition to the 1-1 strat, I've added double jumps on 4-1 and 6-2, as seen in the current tas. 6-3 is the hardest now, but I look forward to mastering it.

Svenne

2013-04-06 09:28:26 am

About 6-3, use the bottle to jump over the roof! ;) Should save you atleast a second or two compaired with you current wr! Yeah, I am not gonna go for a wr on this.

I would love to see a guerilla-style stream from you! :)

Yep, I saw that potion jump in jeffrosledger's stream. If you're really fast, you can improve the Birdo cycle by 2 seconds. I've only done it twice on console so far.

edit: Today I started at 6-1 and played to the end with NO mistakes. Now that's what I call progress. :D

Svenne

2013-04-08 07:45:57 pm

Awesome! :D Keep it up!

8:42! (not done yet)

I added a faster strat in 6-1 as well. This game is officially being demolished, heheh.

Svenne

2013-04-16 01:05:56 pm

Dude, that is insane. I think Andrews projections for this game was 8:45 so keep it up, you are the man. I knew this from the start by the glitchless run and after your the godly metroid run, I know I really want you to see you start streaming in the future! :3

I still want to do that documentary btw :3

Today I played a perfect 6-1 to end again, with every current strat. Adding in worlds 1 and 4 will make a mistake-free run forbiddingly difficult, but it's possible. (edit: Also played 4-1 to end with one mistake...about .75 second lost)

I will try to stream sometime this week...my buddy has a fast connection, and I wouldn't have to drag all my stuff to his house. I'll post here a day in advance.

Svenne

2013-05-07 07:23:15 pm

Yes! It's gonna be awesome! I really want to see you live! <3

Also, I think you would be the one to get the best run possible, me and Andrew donät have time atm, but we would love to race you in the future! ;)

Streaming today! Very bad quality! :)

I hear that jeffrosledge wants to beat your run, what he does not get is that nes and snes is enterly different game in physics and double jumps, good luck to him. I believe in Cak! ;)

I've seen his All Stars warps (no reset) run and I think his playing isn't quite "there" yet, but we'll see I suppose.
I will try to do another stream soon...maybe some live attempts with the 1-2 subcon glitch.

cak

2013-05-15 04:08:45 am

Got an 8:37...used the subcon too!

Svenne

2013-05-15 06:07:41 am

Haha, I only see you getting the best run possible on this game. Keep it up, after your stream I knew you had the right tools for practicing, I did not even use save states or game genie, just the old fashion way... I burned out after TAS.ing, playing pal and ntsc so will come back and get a sub 9 soemtime! ;)

Hehe, I really need to see that subcon, first time done ever in a real run! <3

RE: getting the Albatoss to spawn after the double jump in 6-2...there's two background stars before the Panser. You stop just before the first star, turn back very slightly, then keep going. It takes a little practice to get the timing right.

cak

2013-05-28 07:38:55 am

Almost had a perfect run today...got hit at the 3rd room in 7-2. :/

Svenne

2013-05-30 02:29:22 pm

:(, man it sucks, but you will get it, just a matter of time, near future I would presume! ;)

Hitting a brick wall lately, but yeah I'm sure I will get it at some point. 6-3 is the only obstacle really...even 1-2 isn't that hard if I warm up on emulator first.
(June 6th: got the illusion item glitch four times in a row today.)

Svenne

2013-06-10 12:04:03 am

great, I don't know if I even should consider learning it for ESA. Just haven't got the time :)

Yeah I'd just use Luigi in a marathon.

Today I got an approx 8:32. I almost always record, but this was one of those cases where I was just dinking around without the vcr going. Brick wall

EDIT: Did it again on tape! 8:32.6. It's more or less impossible to beat the record without using the 1-2 glitch now.

good stuff, I hope the people on SDA will watch you too! I will be there for sure when I can! :)

Wow, watching Cak's run is making me hype, i'm going to pick up SM2 after I'm done with SMW, which will be in a couple of weeks I think, after studying your video more thoroughly be ready for millions of questions

cak

2013-08-07 10:16:30 am

Nice...looking forward to it :) If anyone has questions about my run/strats, I am happy to answer

Yeah, one more doing mario 2, most awesome!
