Just had a beautiful moment in Cheese Bridge area. I was going for the secret exit so I brought yoshi and the cape, like the video in the OP. Well instead of doing it the video's way, I just ran and jumped off the first platform and blew past the platforms. I thought I'd fucked myself but then lo and behold yoshi kept hitting those saws perfectly so that if I just kept pressing forward I was totally safe. Did this the whole level through. Amazing stuff.
Food for thought:
[...] Who are the Koopalings named after?
Is this the game where lives became kind of meaningless? I'm only halfway done and have like 50 lives without trying.
Wouldn't it be faster to grab the star and get as many 1ups as you can then exit the level and repeat?Definitely. I still always save at Donut Ghost House so when I restart with 5 lives I can grab a few one-ups at Top Secret, along with some feathers, naturally. When I played it back when I was younger, I also made liberal use of this glitch:

So, yeah, lives were never really an issue.
how do you cheese the bonus game for all the lives again?

The bot won't stop PMing me. Maybe it hates double posts?

Holy shit, I had no recollection that theTubularwas so hard. I have no idea how I managed to complete it as a kidSpecial World
Is that the bullshit one with the P balloons and you having to float through a lot of flying stuff? I hated that level as a kid.
Gonna try and complete all the he goals on Monday since I have it off.
This is such an awesome idea! Definitely going to participate once my SNES arrives, which should be by Wednesday.
I've never tried to abuse a glitch in any game before, so we'll see how the third challenge goes for me.
The orb glitch was surprisingly fun, and now I'm hitting it pretty consistently (I try it each time I boot up the system to try and get the muscle memory/positioning down). Definitely beat the game legit 96* first if you can, though I almost wish I had done this first and used it on tubular.
Seriously, F tubular.
SMW has a lot of levels where if you just fly or run through them the level seems like a boring waste of time, but if you set up your lines the way they're intended to, it's ingenious -- cases where enemy patterns are set up so that you can bounce off enough enemies to get a 1-up, blocks floating in air that are the exact right placement for you to land on them if you take a full speed blind jump off a cliff (1-3's first section is a great example of this) -- cases where there are platforms to land and take off from at exactly the place you need them for Yoshi + Cape. I think the more you replay it the more you realize how great a lot of the levels really are.
In order: Earthbound (beat game / all photos / stairs glitch your way to the end), FF6 (world of balance / beat the game / haven't decided between "get all rages" and "beat the game with minimum party complement"), Mana, Super Mario RPG. SMRPG will be the big finale.
For Super Punch-Out!!, the hardest goal stamp will probably be either a blindfolded run of the Minor Circuit or beating the entire game with no losses, no knockdowns, and quick KOs (best time on the leaderboard), and for F-Zero the top goal stamp will be getting a time within 10 seconds of the world record on Mute City 1 and the second goal stamp will be beating every cup on Master.
SOM challenge should be get every weapon to max level. That's a damn grind in the final dungeon hahaha.
FF6 could do more than WoB / WoR. Could do Beat the Game / Every Esper / Get every Shadow cutscenes for the star.
Started my run yesterday. Ignoring the star and just going for 96. Haven't ever done that and not using anything to help me find all the exits. So far so good! Although it'd be nice to know if there is a secret exit to look for in a level
I think he's trying to keep the goals reasonable for the 40+ hour RPGs.

Seriously.
Back in the mid 90s, FF6 was the only game I played.
I played through it almost ten times. I had runs where I collected every rage, got every item, and ran the clock just to see what happens after 99 hours and 59 minutes.
I NEVER saw Shadow's last cutscene. The RNG on it is insane.
This is the coolest thing ever. I hope I can find a SNES Classic soon so that I can partake

The red dots on the map have a secret exit.

I think every ghost house does too. May have been one exception, can't recall of the top of my head.
I did something today that I've never done before in SMW, I got a 50 star bonus at the end of a level. I never knew there was an amount higher than 40.
