Board 8 > 2011 World Mario Championships Tonight 10 PM EST

(+) Yeah! (+)

They just picked the highest rated hack none of them have played before, and highest rated doesn't really have any indication of difficulty.

Either way, these hacks will probably have enough challenge to make things interesting.

"In the game of chess you can never let your opponent see your pieces."

goose is top left, Shox is top right
Dabu is bot left, Sonic is bot right

--
"In the game of chess you can never let your opponent see your pieces."

why is shox so far behind?

--
Don't worry guys, I have all the clubs

He isn't, he's at the Castle, which I believe puts him at second.

He just went back to the first level to farm lives, since a Game Over means you have to replay all the previous levels.

Hey all this is Bartz btw.

Dabu just found another secret 1-Up. He has an awesome combination of reflexes, patience, and smarts.

Yeah Dabu is definitely impressing.

*waves Dabu flag*

--
"In the game of chess you can never let your opponent see your pieces."

Yeah, Dabu is seriously awesome.

Ingenious tail pick up by Dabu.

I think Dabu is stuck because he doesn't know what the Para Beetles do.

~~~~Yay~~~~

Yeah, but it looks like Dabu's got it now.

--
"In the game of chess you can never let your opponent see your pieces."

he's got it, this time

--
Don't worry guys, I have all the clubs

Never heard of a Para Beetle either. Ya, he's got it now tho.

His dark secret is he's really Spark Brushel in disguise. If people knew, he'd be ruined. - Spiral on the black psyche locks

Man I could be making millions on playing Mario if this is how good these guys are. Dabu's not doing that well right now from what I'm watching either!

Augh, I gotta go. I guess I'll check the victor in the morning

Hey all this is Bartz btw.

I'm sure it's not as easy as it looks!

"So cold. I am always by your side."
"There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!"

Parabeetles... a shame they were used only for that one really fun level in SMB3.

--
Black Turtle power!

Also, yeah, how do you guys not know Parabeetles. They're in SMB3!

DEMOLISHED that level.

Dabu's gonna have beast mode some of these coming levels while he rebuild his life stock.

Nice job Dabu. Also a bit lucky. In Mario 3 you would die if you grabbed the ? Ball before killing the other Boom Boom.

--

Yeah, I definitely thought that you had to kill both bosses before the level would end.

--
"In the game of chess you can never let your opponent see your pieces."

I didn't remember anywhere in SMB3 where you took on 2 boom booms

Hey all this is Bartz btw.

Dabu jumping too far ahead.

I love Zigzagoon <3

So is this SMW hacked to look like SMB3 with some other Mario elements (saw a poison mushroom and some dude from SMW2)?

I didn't remember anywhere in SMB3 where you took on 2 boom booms

Well, it doesn't happen in the original game. You'd have to have played a game hack to know about it.

Have these announcers never played SMB3?

No, this hack pays homage to all mario games. Next world after Ice World is the Yoshi's Island section.

--
"In the game of chess you can never let your opponent see your pieces."

only watched two levels, but this hack looks pretty fun. gonna try it out later on.

i feel really bad for the bottom right guy.

All hail DpObliVion, the Second-to-Last User Standing!

Right but is this a SMW hack? Are the physics the same as SMW?

The base ROM is SMW, but physics can be changed, so I dunno about that one. Looks more like SMB3.

--
"In the game of chess you can never let your opponent see your pieces."

I believe it's a SMW hack. I'm not sure if the physics are the same. They look SMW like to me.

I mean because one of the announcers was all like "why does the castle level take place on flying ships? that so weird derp."

Oh my bad.

So was this hack made for this competition? or is there a chance that these competitors have played it before?

--
"It's a magical world, Hobbes ol' buddy...let's go exploring!" - Calvin
http://img.imgcake.com/calvinfinalpngpy.png

this hack wasn't made for this competition, but it was picked specifically because none of these guys have played these levels before.

--
"In the game of chess you can never let your opponent see your pieces."

They just picked one that none of them had played before. It wasnt made specifically for the competition though

None of the guys have played the hack before, which is why it was chosen.

Well they wanted Joe Rogan and Mike Goldberg, but apparently those guys were unavailable despite the large sum of money offered to them.
