Super Mario Bros. 3 is a very famous and popular game for the NES. There are normally two main ways to beat it: the quick way using warp whistles to skip worlds ( https://tasvideos.org/3922M ), and the longer way which goes through all the worlds ( https://tasvideos.org/3028M ).

Lord_Tom ( https://tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/Lord_Tom ) goes the same route as the this game end glitch run ( https://tasvideos.org/2588M ). However, he achieves total control ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbitrary_code_execution ) of the game, pushing the run to a whole new level. He gives himself new powers, like the speed booster and the suit-swap, to name a few. Read the author’s comments for more details ( https://tasvideos.org/4961S ).

This run was shown at Awesome Games Done Quick 2016 ( https://tasvideos.org/GamesDoneQuick/AGDQ2016 ) during the TAS block. You can see it here ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?vpj7RE2DcRgc&t2837s )
