(Run starts at 1:35) TASBot plays Lord Tom, Maru & Tompa's NES Super Mario Bros. 3 "warps" in 10:24.34

This new Tool-Assisted Speedrun of SMB3 is using a new route that saves time over the existing run while still managing to obtain 99 lives (pardon the terrible pun in the description if it affronts you). This particular category does not use memory corruption to access the end credits without defeating Bowser, i.e. this run does not rely on ACE (Arbitrary Code Execution) and thus has no major glitches making it an NMG run. There are still plenty of minor glitches that push Mario ever forward, especially in autoscroller levels.

dwangoAC was joined by TheAxeMan in person for commentary along with Maru, one of the authors of the TAS, who provided additional details in Twitch chat which is visible along the left side of the screen. This was recorded after several previous attempts resulting in chat and commentators being a bit more distracted than they should have been during the first couple of levels they had seen several times already.
