Y helo thar!

Video of me beating the first
two levels of super mario bros
on an nes in a row with my
eyes closed. Sorry I couldn't
get a brighter video (my
westinghouse lvm-37w3 is very
bright, even on the lowest
backlight setting). It's
really not hard, it just takes
practice. I even did it first
try while driving later

Y helo thar!

Video of me beating the first
two levels of super mario bros
on an nes in a row with my
eyes closed. Sorry I couldn't
get a brighter video (my
westinghouse lvm-37w3 is very
bright, even on the lowest
backlight setting). It's
really not hard, it just takes
practice. I even did it first
try while driving later the
day I did this video. Go give
it a try! I'm sure you can at
least beat the first level
after a half an hour or so
(probably less).

And if you're wondering, I've
also spent time
(unsuccessfully) trying to do
the same to 1-3 and 4-1. I can
now do level 1-4 also. The
first half is memory/timing,
but the second half is luck. I
always get hit by the random
(actually they aren't random,
just like anything on a
computer they are based off a
timer and appear in the same
spot every time if you go
through the level at top
speed) fireballs or bowser.

'ZOMG FAKE/10' - Whatever. I
could have had a second person
playing while I sat there
playing with an unhooked
controller, or somehow see a
mirror or look at the flip out
lcd on my camera (how I could
do that with my eyes closed,
you tell me)... but it's much
easier to actually do it. I
can recite the levels from
memory:

Level 1: Doo do do do do DOOT
(jump, hit goomba). Run right,
hit a pipe. Do a long button
press jump over it, run right.
Jump on top of the pipe,
running start, jump to the
next pipe, fall on the second
goomba. Run right, jump on the
pipe, inch right, press down.
Jump right and run, then left,
then right into the pipe. Wait
for the music cue.. top of the
pipe. Run left to get a
running start, jump over the
top. Jump to victory!

Level 2: do do do do do doot..
you're on the ground. Time it
right, hit the mushroom box
and land on the goomba . Jump
up then left, collect the
mushroom. Run right, hit the
block. Three long jumps,
hopefully land on the goomba
near the coin box. Run right,
jump, then jump again to
hopefully get to the top row
with the coins (safer way). If
not, hope those koopas don't
get you. Run to the right and
break the three bricks,
careful the enemies might get
through if you're late. Jump
up, then press right. Break
two blocks, then jump left.
Break one.. run! Count to 14
then long jump wildly. If you
don't hear and bricks
breaking, go left and into the
warp zone. If you do hit a
brick, go left for a second
then right into the pipe. Mad
dash to victory!
