United StatesI have considered it, but honestly the game is pretty demanding of attention, and the run is fairly long too. I didn't really want to learn the bonus levels because a lot of them feel like leftover stages that didn't make the cut. it's fun to play them as sort of a celebration to beating the game. my mind goes back to mush on those levels!
Hello! I'm not a speedrunner for Mario 3, but last year I came up with a challenge run that could be a fun and challenging speedrun. I'm glad this thread exists because I didn't want to just post a new thread with this idea.
No running% warpless, any, or 100. I call it "Jumpman 3" because that's basically all you're allowed to do.
Last year I did any% and warpless for "Mar10" day just to prove that it's possible to beat the game without running. Shortly after that, I figured out that actually you can beat all levels without running, just that some levels are very precise or require specific items.
So this year I streamed Jumpman 3 doing 100% and chopped the vod up to show all levels completed successfully. This year it took me over 6 hours without having done any practice since last year, but this is counting all the mistakes and game overs.
That's probably why I would prefer to run any% or warpless because in the event of a game over, it'd be harder to verify when a player has completed 100% of the levels, unless in the rules for 100% it could be stated that game overs result in a reset timer.
I do have other concerns for what the rules would be, since I know that when you jump as Mario then hold the fire button, you get a further jump, but you also move faster, so I disqualified myself from using that. There are situations where you might have to fire while jumping, and in those events, it should obviously be allowed to only press B without holding.
This run would require an input display to be on for that reason. Otherwise the P-bar can indicate if somebody is holding B down anyway.
There is one stage, I think castle #2 world 7 where you can't make the first jump onto the pipe without the hold B jump option, if you don't have a leaf. So my opinion on allowing this method or not is split.
Lastly the only time I allow myself to do any running at all is from slides. Since you're not technically running, and the P speed isn't increasing, I think it fits within the rule's restrictions.
I put time stamps in the video description for what I think are the more interesting or challenging levels.
you can probably submit a run using whatever android app for the game. I don't see it in the rules that you aren't allowed.
yeah it'd probably be fine for a normal clear, or coop category extension. I think 1CC and 2 loop wouldn't fit the purpose of doing a No Upgrade playthrough.
Maybe message the mods or link them to your post here!
it'd probably work as a category extension. And you mean "No Upgrades" right?
Nice! Also I had some of my information mixed up. The 4 player version wipes your credits at the end of 2 loops, but the 2 player version doesn't.
when the single play is done, the game restarts with the same character. the 2nd loop is "hard mode" along with wiping the credits + game over screen + high score upon finishing.

If you have a completed run, submit a support ticket to create the leaderboard! (a person needs a run to both become a moderator and start the leaderboard)

looks like you can submit a support ticket to become a moderator and verify your own run. I'm a bit new to the inner workings of this site, so I didn't know how to submit a support ticket until I realized the arrow in the upper right of the support ticket box is a button to start your ticket.
Looks like he was last online 2 years ago. I wonder if there's another way to verify a run without needing a new moderator? (though we should get a new moderator too)
