Title says it all, the concept is to crash SMB1 in one of two possible ways:

1. Using the cart version, go to 1-2 with a specific score and coin count, grab the mushroom and perform precise koopa bops to trigger a crash (1 in 8 chance due to coin flash)

Example:

2. Using the disk version, go to -1, die at the midway point, and then continue to the end of the level.

Example:

3. Using the disk version, grab fire and enter -1, kill bowser and continue to the end of the level.

Example:

Curious to see what others think of this CE idea. Personally, I like the idea of a Crash category for SMB1 since it contrasts the Crash category for SMB2J quite nicely; while the SMB1 crash takes much less time than 2J crash, you can perform it in more ways and the fastest method of crashing SMB1 requires more precise execution than any of the 2J crash setups. In addition, there have been quite a few runners practicing and attempting the SMB1 crash so there is a fair degree of interest in the category. If it's worth anything, I've done Crash speedruns using the -1 crash method (shown in the post above) and the 1-2 method:

i think it would be pretty sick but i thought the people in charge or adding ces against adding any more

I like it.

Regarding no more categories: I think that should not apply to categories that were considered impossible/improbable at the time that decision that made. Blindfolded Warpless, Walkathon Warpless and this should all be accepted once done RTA.

is there a way we could take a vote to see how many people would play the category.
if so i vote, add it to the leaderboards

I'm very much in favor of this being added.

Isn't it a 1/12 chance for things to happen on the same frame as the coin is changing color?

Bright 24 frames
medium 8 frames
dark 8 frames
medium 8 frames

48 / 4 = 12

Interestingly, it's actually a 1/8 chance. Even though the bright coin lasts for 24 frames, coin palette updates are triggered every eight frames; there's three separate entries for bright coin in the coin palette data, which is why that color appears for 24 frames.

so, can we pretty please add the category.

Pretty please with a cherry on top

1-2 crash can also be done with FDS and also PAL, as a matter of fact.

what coin count and score do you have to have to crash the game?

i hate this idea i hope simplistic_memes doesnt add it on Feb 16th 2023

FUCK

im so so so sorry sluggy :((((

the deed has been done

about to submit my first run
