excellent, but a few noticble things that show it was not played by human hands.

first off, even on any emulator ive ever played, when you beat a level, or when you open an item box, you have to wait a second or two before u can actually open them.

another thing, is the music is distorted in certain spots, which could be a possible emulation problem, but come on now, isnt it a bit weird that the music only gets a little weird only when he does super unnatural weird things?

and lastly, he flew right by those things where the hand always grabs you, thats totally crazy.

but man i wish i was that good :P

It's possible to go over that hand thing without getting pulled, it happens ~1/4 of the time.

I'm pretty sure it's an emulator because of the white stripe along the side when he's moving.  But that proves nothing.
This'll make an interesting test for broken AV:

If anyone noticed, this is a Japanese version of the game.

And we all know how good the Japanese are at video games...so I don't think this is a fake :)

The only time that the wrenches even came close to hitting him IMO was in the last tank level, two of the mole dudes next to each other came very close.  At first, I thought he was hit in the face.  After watching frame-by-frame, they appear to barely miss his head.

Don't you find it suspicious that in almost every level he gets a star?

I think it says more that you watched it for more than a minute.

I at first found it suspicious that he didn't get a star in every level. When I played I got a star in every level. Then I realized that getting a last star would've taken more time. He probably got a mushroom intentionally.

I came to the same conclusion.  I also used to get a star in every level.  It's not random at all, it's based on how you hit it.

Hostile

iirc it has to do with what the 1 digit of your coins is, either that or it was for the time number.
* Hostile shrugs
but anyways, if you remember iago, there was always that blinking white spot on the game when you would run or whatever *go into one of those cloud levels or something you'll definitly see it.
- Hostile is sexy.

To get a star, just make sure that you're running at maximum velocity when you enter the dark area at the end of the map, and keep going until you hit the star. Hit it as soon as possible (left edge).

If you look at the movie, you'll find that he hit it late (at the right edge) the time he got the mushroom.

I think it just starts rotating cards when you enter the black area and then follow the same sequence every time, so if you take X amount of time to hit it, you'll get card Y where Y = f(X).

Look, now I've qualified this for the math forum! :P

You need Yoni's forum  :P

Yeah, the cards begin to roll when you enter the black area and if you master your timing you can get the same card over and over (I used to play too much).

It's a fake. The author played the game at about 10-20 FPS (the normal speed is 60 FPS), and used save states for when he messed up. It says so on his website. But this is a cool video, nevertheless. I could never do that even by cheating...
