    Tennis cart swap strat coming to a Summoning Salt video soon? I don't follow speedruns outside of Salt's videos, so I'm not sure if this is going to be one of those legal glitches or illegal glitches.

      I know there was a Paper Mario to Ocarina of Time swap glitch that featured at GDQ, so it's probably going to be its own category, but not necessarily be banned or anything.

      There are SMW runs that are valid using cart swaps, and other games using heated carts. The rule seems to be that as long as it isn't a modified cart it's legit.

    Follow up video to the originally submitted one has now been posted: Exploring Glitch Level Pointers In Super Mario Bros. It's even more technical than the last one though, so probably a bit more...

    It's even more technical than the last one though, so probably a bit more niche. Hence my posting this in a comment rather than a new topic.

      Another follow up video: Super Mario Bros. Glitch Levels Explained

      Another follow up video:
      Super Mario Bros. Glitch Levels Explained

      Why do glitch levels in Super Mario Bros. look the way they do? And how are levels stored in the game's ROM anyway? It's all explained right here.

        If the game is limited to 3 objects per column, how can you get 5 sometimes? How does the 4-2 wrong warp work, and how do looping levels work? Is there anything different in the FDS release of SMB1? What about Super Mario All-Stars, and The Lost Levels? It's all explained right here.
