EoFF Speed Challenge: Super Mario World (Voting on what to play next!)

[VeloZer0]

If you beat me I might just have to just slit my damn wrists.

That would be a... memorable... end to the challenge.

I didn't realise you were so old, don't let your arthritis get in the way of the game

(The trash talk begins now folks)

[Slothy]

I'm not that old, though I was old enough for your mom when I took a trip to Aussie land 19 years ago.

Jiro, I am your father.

[Jiro]

I like that option a lot better. Cheers pa.

[Del Murder]

I guess that makes me your grandfather. Sorry to have to break it to you this way, Vivi.

[Jiro]

How am I this awesome if I come from such disappointing stock?

[Slothy]

You know it's not too late for me to retroactively abort you.

[Evastio]

Out of curiousity, do you guys go through the Butter Bridge route or the Cheese Bridge route? Butter Bridge is shorter in terms of the amount of levels but one is automatic scrolling, slowing you down significantly and Cheese Bridge has one extra level and a couple of levels you can't fly through, but more time cutting potential (with Yoshi wings in the Cheese Bridge Area and the shortcut in Lemmy's Castle).

[Slothy]

Personally, I'd lean towards going through Cheese Bridge, though it's a tough call. I think the levels are a bit harder overall if you go through Butter Bridge, but I honestly hate Lemmy's Castle. Especially if I smurf up and die trying to get the short cut because Magikoopa really pisses me off. That said, I did a quick trial run earlier in the week to test out my PC controller and see how it felt (I never played Mario World with it and I literally would have bought a new one if I didn't like the feel), and got to Lemmy's Castle, including pulling off the shortcut without too much trouble. So I'll likely go that way and hope I don't end up having a bad night.

Honestly though, Lemmy's Castle is the only sticking point for me, which is funny given how early it shows up. If I get through there with no trouble then things will be good.

I finally found a PSP SNES emulator that doesn't suck so I will be playing this on PSP. Unlike Vivi the ringer I'm not going to play a bunch of practice runs to carefully plot out my route and brush up on my rusty skills. I will be picking this up having not played it for 15 years and letting all come back to me on the fly like a real man.

[Slothy]

My practice run was little more than me making sure everything worked properly and my controller still worked. Wouldn't want there to be any delays in my kicking your asses tonight.

It's not my fault the game is too addictive to simply put down without beating a few castles first.

[Levian]

haven't played the game since I went to Thailand in 2005, so should be fun! I played the crap out of this game when I was younger though, so many levels should be familiar.

3,5 hours to go!

[Depression Moon]

Wish I could do this, but I have some tests to study for.

[VeloZer0]

Loser

[NorthernChaosGod]

Lol. I basically did the same thing as Vivi. I had to test how my controller would work in the game. And with a cast. Is it too late to call for a handicap?
