Super Mario Brothers in 5:00

I find this amazing:

"This movie was made using an emulator with savestates and slowdown. It's meant to show the game pushed to its limits. For more information on tool-assisted emulator videos, please visit the Nesvideos site at http://bisqwit.iki.fi/nesvideos/

"The tool-assisted record-time run of Super Mario Bros. It beats the game within 5 minutes of turning it on.

"Even in simple-looking games like this you can always find more time-saving tricks to exploit if you look hard enough. See what we've found at the Super Mario Bros tricks page at http://bisqwit.iki.fi/nesvideos/SuperMarioBrosTricks.html .

"This movie: - Aims for fastest time - Uses warps - Abuses programming errors in the game"
