Submission Watch: Loopie posts Fastest Minimalist Completion - 05:07.194 on Super Mario Bros.

Loopie (Track URL:) delivers a strong Fastest Minimalist Completion - 05:07.194 on Super Mario Bros. (NES / FAMICOM / DISK), a clean submission sitting at potential rank #1 on the EMU - Fastest Minimalist Completion track.

The run complies fully with the track's strict guidelines. Time will be recorded in WHOLE seconds ONLY. Use of the Wall-Jump tactic is NOT allowed! You MUST access the Underwater area of 8-4 by using the pipe across the lava pit. Doubling back and using the pipe before the pit to do so will equal Disqualification. Use of ANY Pipe to go somewhere different then the programmers intended is BANNED! Further definition; Mario cannot be made to jump off of a surface that is 90 degrees perpindicular to the ground. The doubling back on World 8-4 to get to the underwater area is another example].

Evidence provided: Video, giving adjudicators a clear window into the run.

The run follows standard rules: TGTS Settings [3 Lives to Start, 5 Lives Maximum]Special Rules: Timer starts the instant you hit the Start button and stops the INSTANT you touch the golden axe in the final castle. Time will be recorded in WHOLE seconds ONLY. Use of the Wall-Jump tactic is NOT allowed! You MUST access the Underwater area of 8-4 by using the pipe across the lava pit. Doubling back and using the pipe before the pit to do so will equal Disqualification. Use of ANY Pipe to go somewhere different then the programmers intended is BANNED! You MUST complete the game or your record/attempt WILL be disqualified![Wall-Jumping is defined as jumping against a wall [or pipe] in such a manner that a pixel or two of Mario is stuck in the wall [or Pipe] and is able to use that to jump again, far higher then can be done normally. Further definition, Mario cannot be made to jump off of a surface that is 90 degrees perpindicular to the ground. Please note this can be further used to also go through solid objects not normally passable as is disallowed.][The Alternative Pipe usage refers to, for example, going through a lone brick while crouched to go through the wall and access World -1, whereas the pipes would normally be Warp Pipes to Worlds 2-4 Respectively. The doubling back on World 8-4 to get to the underwater area is another example]. This is a straight-up leaderboard climb.

"Based on the timing guidelines established on a prior accepted run (Feb-2025), I think there is a strong argument that this should be resubmitted as 5:07.000. In that accepted run, the timing rules..." - RetroThunder
