Toughest Mario Level EVER


OK, I've just spent the last 5 minutes laughing my butt of at this video

It walks through a level that severely frustrated me many years ago. Somebody found the original movie and added a commentary like he was playing. The guy's commentary is very entertaining. Of course, the player is obviously very capable and familiar with the level because once he uncovers a new trick, he just works around it. But the running commentary is priceless. Strong language, so NSFW. If you watch the whole 23 minutes, your frustration level will be high -- but nowhere close to what it is when actually trying to play insane levels like this.

For completeness, here's a video of somebody actually finishing this. Of course, he kind of cheats using some issues with the ROM emulator (passing through walls) and exploits the breakable ceiling, but at least you get to see the whole world in like 4 minutes.
