Super Mario Bros. 4-2 - Vine not needed?
1 year ago
United Kingdom

Hey all. I noticed that when I'm playing through 4-2, as long as I get Mario the right number pixels ahead needed, the wrong warp will work without having to hit the vine block. Is this common knowledge? (I'm new to speedrunning sorry!). All attempts I've seen have players hit the vine block on their way through to the pipe. I think skipping hitting the vine block doesn't have any time improvements as you are already moving at full speed, but just wondered why players hit it when it seems it is not necessary. Thanks!

On 4-2 that is true but you should take it to the Smb forum.
