Bullet Bill Glitch Theory
5 years ago
New Hampshire, USA

This is just a theory. I wonder if you can manipulate the timing for the bullet bill at the end of 8-2 so instead of waiting at the bottom stairs, the bullet bill is already storming towards the bottom of the flagpole. That way you can just jump up the stairs, land on the bullet bill on the correct pixel, and perform the glitch instead of waiting 2 - 3 seconds for the bill.

That seems like its possible but you have to be lucky with the koopa

No, the bill can't shoot much earlier than a frame or two due to how they are coded in relation to Mario's position.

I theorized this a month ago and i tased for hours and hours and I think I can safely say that this isn't possible

While I enjoy the investigative energy into trying to discover a new technique, I have to chime I with reality. This has been shown not possible, without some super major unforeseen circumstances.

If it was easily possible, we’d already be doing it. Plenty of top runners and TASers have thought of this and nobody has made it happen.

Add in code evaluation, as KOJB pointed out, and it seems super unlikely to ever be a thing.

I had actually thought of this MONTHS ago and never considered making a forum about it.
