Hot breakdown! I learned quite a few things about All-Stars I didn't know before.

Apparently the weird bumping physics when breaking brick blocks is also another bug that was introduced by attempting to fix something completely unrelated to it, which had the side effect of making the NES bumping knockback we all know and love, such a cool accidental feature lost from fixing what really didn't need to be fixed all things considered.

Yeah, it's because the NES version buffers the blocks to be removed in the next frames (one 16x16 tile per frame), as updating the corresponding tilemap is slow, which due to the way they coded it, makes them linger for longer in the actual stage too. They rewrote the rendering logic because they figured SNES is fast enough to update more tiles at once and they didn't think that it'd actually affect the gameplay

@@i-am-linjaI don’t think it was really a bug in the original. The people making the game knew how the system worked. I think it was more just using the engine’s limitations to automate some of the physics. Like how space invader’s difficulty curve wasn’t programmed in. The enemies just got faster as you killed them because the game could physically run faster with less entities on screen. And so any emulated version of the game would seemingly break that feature by improving the performance. It wasn’t a bug in the original. It was just a really smart way to use the game’s limitations

If I didn't know All-Stars actually came out just a few years after Mario 1-2-3, I'd think it was a fan-remake of the originals decades later, but no! The developers took the opportunity to really flex the new hardware. A similar thing regarding Mother 1 and Earthbound, because a lot of the music was remade and boy did they really nail the remakes. You can tell NES developers were really itching to move on to SNES.

Wild guess, the even faster version of the game would be either Super Mario Bros. Deluxe for the Gameboy Color, or possibly a lesser known port, or maybe even another version with region exclusive changes from the original? I doubt the unofficial/homebrew ports are considered at this point, but I know there are certain quirks in the C64 port of the game, so we never know!

I'm betting on Super Mario Bros. Deluxe too. I have done a framecount of the TAS of that version of the game to convert to RTA's rules just yesterday by coincidence (which seems to be the first time ever in the Internet someone did this?) and I got a stupidly fast 4:51,2 or so. But to be fair, that TAS has a *lot* of left + right simultaneously... Although there's a catch that you CAN do L+R in that version of the game, by playing on a GameBoy Player and using a GameCube controller.

It seems the difference in brick physics in SMAS was unintended, and causes by a swapped sign error. What was supposed to be a negative value was instead a positive. Apparently, you can also fix this by changing a single byte in the code.

i remember hearing in an interview very long time ago that the floating brick thing when breaking them was a bug that was accedently added by fixing a different, and discovered by devs after the game was already in production for the carts, so back then for a console you couldnt patch games, so that floatyness remained. if i remember there is a community made "patch" for the rom that fixes only this, but of course ppl want the "authenticity" so most ppl played without it who do know of it.

@JH-pe3ro

29 күн бұрын

There's some evidence that each version of the original SMB engine(Vs., 2j, All Night Nippon, All Stars) reused the previous one's modifications; in 2j the bounce height physics were modified, and some other things were patched, so SMB1 in All Stars shares those changes. All Stars is notable for being the only iteration to have the brick breaking bug. Also interesting is SMB Deluxe for Game Boy Color, which would have been entirely reprogrammed for the different CPU architecture - since they took the time to recreate the SMB1 behaviors more closely, it's probably the closest to a fully patched release.

I think once a perfect SMB1 NTSC is done (which I fully expect to happen in the next two years or so), then we'll see people trying these extreme optimisations.

I remember there being a bug in the All Stars version where you can make Mario run at crazy fast speeds by holding left and right at the same time, either that or it was the emulator.

I appreciate the joke about the lengths runners go to to get faster, but this would actually have the opposite effect. Fast-moving objects appear to experience _less_ time when moving relativistically, so if the run is timed from Earth it will be _longer_ than it appears aboard the ship. Timing it _from the ship_ wouldn't help either: from its perspective, _the Earth_ is the one moving slower. Plus, it's definitely cheating.
