Taken from SE (was hoping Naruki wouldn't beat me to it)
"I'm sorry for those, like me, who felt that the Mario 3 video was one of the most amazing things they have ever seen. Truth be told, the video is fake.
There proof comes straight from the horses mouth. At the end of the video, there are url's to two different websites. The soramimi.egoism.jp one is the one with the proof. The site is in Japanese, but a translation done exposes the truth.
I QUOTE: ZURU is carried out. It is dropping and moving by the emulator till 1/30 second. Save and loading are repeated and recorded during movie record.
When a mistake is saved and made before a dangerous place, it is touch called loading. The translation is poor, but you get the point.
The video was done on an emulator FRAME by FRAME, with constant usage of save states to correct any errors. The only true feat in the whole video is that a person actually took the time to map out every level and know the patterns for all the enemies. Actually performing the task of playing took little skill, however.
The guy that did the video never actually meant for everyone to believe it was a person playing in real time. He also says: I think I am sorry very much so that the dream of the pure person who considered may be ruined.
It should have written beforehand. and I am very sorry to people considered to be a play by people's hand seriously
Also in the translation, it states that it took the guy 2 years to do it. The Japanese must have a lot of free time on their hands."
I HAVE the video..but haven't watched it. Why because I KNEW something was messed about it, because my personal best is 22 minutes. (well almost 23) and I was trying, for weeks to get the best time possible. The biggest time waster in that is the hands snatching you, you can't get around it, well you can, but not as much as I've heard the video does.
if anybody's interested, I have a MegaMan2 video that's the same way as this SMB3 video, but you can more easily tell it's a fake.
