Welcome, Comrade, to Super LP Bros.


Super LP Bros is a website mainly dedicated to the magical world of "Let's Play's". A Let's Play is a video or series of pictures in which the creator plays through a video game (usually from start to finish) and explains all about the game and shows off little-known details along the way. Our aim is to bring the LPing community together. It's our goal to offer help to anyone who strives to improve their own Let's Play's. If you've read to this point I'd say it's high time you join our little community. You'll be making new friends and improving your LP's in no time. We may not be the most "Politically Correct" forum out there, but we all have a good time. Registration is simple, fast, and only requires you to sell us your soul.


Join now and we won't hurt you!

Lol, people actually get worked up over this.

It will be your job to get as low a score as possible. Each level has 100 possible points to collect, and I will be shooting for 0 points in almost every level (some levels are sadly impossible to get 0 points on). Doing this effectively will require good knowledge of this game, as well as some of the more advanced maneuvers our beloved dinosaur can pull off. Namely his signature flutter kicking.

But, you might be thinking "Hey! We're going to be skipping everything? Won't that just be quick, easy, and not worth playing?"

Not quite. It may seem like it at first, but playing the game this way quickly becomes absurdly difficult as you'll have to do anything it takes to evade collecting as much as possible. Let's take a quick look at the nasty villains of this game...

Star Points

These guys are a nuisance. They'll come out of clouds and red eggs and then proceed to bounce around. If you let them touch you, you will gain 1 point. Thankfully, you can get rid of these points fairly easy by letting one of Kamek's nice minions take Mario off of your back. However, you start out with 10 of these, and these 10 can not be gotten rid of forever. In fact, if you have less than 10, you'll magically gain 1 every second until you do. In most cases, you'll have to beat the level just as you run out, which can become quite tricky in many levels.

Red Coins

This thing is nasty. It will disguise itself as a regular coin so that you'll think it's safe to grab, only to give you 1 point upon touching it. Even worse, you can't get rid of this point. Upon collection of one of these jerks, you may just want to commit suicide to get rid of it and try again. These things like to hide in narrow passages where getting past them is quite difficult. Their only weakness is the legendary Magnifying Glass. This rare treasure is quite near impossible to obtain on your journey, but using it will expose these devils for the evil that they are.[/color]

Flowers

After seeing this beast, I have become unable to sleep at night. You can't even fathom just how scary this creature is. Upon even the slightest touch of this creature you will gain 10 points. 10 points! It's simply nightmarish! You must evade this smiling horror at all costs. Rest easier knowing that you won't encounter many of these vile beasts on your journey, since most of them like to hide in far off locations.



RULES
1-No savestates, rewinds, fast forwards, or slowdowns.
2-No re-records. This will be taken one world per video, at least. You may put it all in a single video if so you wish.
3-The person with the lowest score at the end of world six will be the winner. If there is a tie, the victor will be decided by time.

PARTICIPANTS
Sharky2107



HOW IT WILL WORK
The GBA version will be used. You must find your own ROM and emulator.
Everyone will submit their runs to me, using Youtube or Viddler, via PM only. Please do not post it here.
One video per world. No cuts in the middle, and do not cut out deaths, fails, etc. Basically, the unedited footage is required.
You may use the infinite lives trick, if so you wish, but remember, ties are broken by time.
At the end of each world, please show me the scores from that world.
If you screw up and can't die at the end of a level, you must accept that number, or start the world over, with a new recording.
You can watch this for a little help figuring out exactly what you're doing.
Secret levels and bonus levels will not be included. Only 1-1 - 6-8.

The contest will begin once I have enough participants.
Good luck to you all, I look forward to seeing this.

Yeah, I've been to the dark side. They lied about the cookies.

Your soul. I wants it.
Heh..saw the title and was like "HEY! Didn't Gameguy already do that....?"

Then I looked through the thread and was like "HEY! Isn't this EXACTLY like his thread..?"


Then I scrolled to the top of the thread, read the little (), and was like "*facepalm*"


I'm not good enough at Yoshi's Island to seriously consider this challenge, but if it starts really hurting for contestants I'll give it a shot.
