nice heads up...so I can save my time. hehehe
dude i used to play this all the time. but i have never seen anything like this.....

that's just crazy!
Seen that before, but there is something that could be real and its a video of an asian guy playing the game with a videocamera behind him and clearing the game. Not sure how fast he was but i guess not as fast as this one.

There is also a lovely video on the net of a guy playing super mario songs on a piano, that one rocks.
haha yeah ive seen that piano one, hes blindfolded as well ^^ priceless
**** i wish i was that gd at super mario =o i aint seen half of what is on that video
well the dude done it in 11 minuets
id take a guess and say there is no way it could have been done quicker
That video isn't all it seems. It's being played as a rom, and the guy slowed it down to one frame a second for the play through. Once he finished he sped it back up to normal speed. You can find a whole bunch more at http://tasvideos.org/.
once i get my Wii....I'mma do it in 11 mins...You'll see...

Then i'll post it on youtube and youll cry

No its not a bot, its probably a TAS (tool assisted speedrun)
Basiclly using an emulator and using savestates and restart the game if you died so it looks like you never stopped :)

Yep it is a TAS video. I like the one where the guy beats Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past in like 4 minutes. Metroid in 9 minutes is a close second.
A bot would ve got stucked on walls, waiting for his healer and would've spent his time trying to spoil the mobs :)
