After playing through Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and Megaman 3, it's now time to breeze through Super Mario World for the SNES!
For those of you not familiar with this challenge, don't worry! All will be explained. We'll start playing the game at the same time and first person to beat the game wins! During the speed run we'll all communicate through Skype, so if you have a microphone or internal mic that would be the best, but there's also a text window open so you can communicate via text as well. It's definitely more fun to play if you can also listen in to the progress of your competitors!
For each game there's going to be specific rules, and here are the rules for Super Mario World.
- Star road is off limits
- Whoever beats Bowser first wins.
- You can get to Bowser through whichever route you'd like. (outside star road) The shortest route is 32 levels, taking another route or completing switch palaces is entirely optional.
- We're playing the SNES version.
- No Save states!
If there's anything I've missed, feel free to pitch in!
