So I was playing around in smb1 and the hex editor tool(on fceux)and I found some memory values that will if done correctly SoftLock you like 20seconds before the wr. helpful stuff file download: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1EaWCASuI6o08koxz131AXD5A5qhsQhva , or https://github.com/UncleEnk/smb1-softlock-finding. How to do it: be lucky with the right memory values the die to the right goomba at the right spot. (may not be humanly possible I haven't looked far into it )

idk another way to give you guys the pics :(. also @Baconwastaken the other fastest way to get soft locked is at the 1-1 flagpole.

Get on the Mario discord or make a mediafire link

This intrigues me.

"I edited the game's memory and got it to softlock" is about as interesting as "I tilted the cartridge and glitched out the game". There's no new discovery here unless you can demonstrate a way to change those memory values in the game without hex-editing (which I'm guessing you don't have a way).
