He must have used an emulator, but imagine beating Mario 3 in 11 minutes with 99 extra lives in the end. Absolutely stunning performance.

Reminds me of a timeless ol' Fred Savage flick.

Yes, that's right, The Wizard.

Best line of that whole movie:

"50,000?! You scored 50,000 points in Double Dragon?!"

That and, "Video... ARRRRRMMMMAAAAAAAGEEDDDDDOOOOOONNNNNNN!!"

Most people remember that flick for Mario 3's debut... but I remember it for one of the few early Nintendo ventures that failed: the PowerGlove.

Incidetally, my high school friend Chris and I had Mario 3 races at the height of its popularity. Don't remember my best time exactly, but it was definitely in the half-hour range.
