Somebody posted that before, and a lot of people mentioned that Mario seemed to be moving too fast, so we came to the conclusion that he used an emulator and ran it at a different speed, and compensated with the video.

wrong. It's made with an emulator, but it's played at normal speed. The reason it seems impossible is that they slow down the game while they play it to get more accurate moves. In any case it doesn't count for any record since it's a tool assisted record (by the way, most tool assisted game movies rock! Check out megaman 2 or super metroid :))

You said he played it at normal speed, then you said he played it slowed down. I'm guessing you meant the second one, and that is what I was getting at in my post.

They created on huge macro that executed all the moves exactly, a long and boring process, but it's the only way something like this could be pulled off so flawlessly. It was all pre-programmed.

When it's shown in the movie it's at normal speed, with an emulator you can register all button presses in a game, then play them back.
