You jump off the pipe, let go of B once you land on the 3rd top stair, and then hold right, and B for 2 frames and then do a full jump and do frame perfect L + A presses to clip into the bottom of the flagpole. That's just Sockfolder's method, there are other methods too but that's just the best know one. Here's A Link:
^ that video is fantastic... there's also a piece on the 1-1 FPG on the gif thread ( https://www.speedrun.com/smb1/thread/uz8f3 ) --- included below
1-1 Flagpole Glitch (DISCLAIMER: This is not practical to add to a run until trying for roughly a low 4:57) See youtube.com/watch?v=ucBAwdS3YB4 for full tutorial
You must land on the 3rd block from the top on the first pixel while not holding "B" - on the first frame with mario in the "running" animation (as opposed to the jump/falling animation), you hold only right (not "A" or "B"), then for exactly the next 2 frames, hold "B", then do a full jump on the 3rd frame (as shown). Hold all inputs until the jump is completed. By the time you reach the flagpole block, you will need to release "A" and "B", and hold "left" for exactly 3 frames (as shown), then jump on the 4th frame. If you do the first "jump" half of the trick correctly, you will clip into the block assuming you do a full jump, even if you mess up the "second" part. If you do not clip into the block, it means you messed up the jump.
Frame counter will obviously be different depending on your pace - as long as you hit the first pixel on the block, it doesn't matter if you do a full or partial jump. In order to "save" the framerule, you will need to be 4 frames from perfect on the coin pipe section, which means that some "380"s will not be fast enough to save the rule. Credit to runner "Sockfolder" for finding out exact inputs for an RTA run.
25% with slowdowns
50% no slowdown
There's another way to do FPG without sockfolder setup and without mavpole, just jumping at the top of the pole. Possible and with setups in both 4-1 and 8-3 (I still haven't uploaded alternative 8-3 FPG setup lul eccs dee) It requires not holding B at the beginning of both levels, however, you require frame perfect pole inputs
Mavpole isn't luck based, it takes perfect inputs. But yes, it's probably harder to do You just jump at the top of the stairs, no slow down at all, no mavpole witchcraft
Effective immediately, any submissions using the SNES9x emulator will not be verified. The SMB1 mod team has concerns about its integrity due to its ability to overclock and remove lag frames, which may not be easily detectable. Additionally, we request that all BizHawk submissions avoid using the S
