After the emergence of the "not lowering the flag" customs clearance method, the racing area once again became a pool of stagnant water.
Because every player is practicing this skill that was accidentally discovered, every player is holding back their energy and competing in secret.
As a result, the Mario competition area in the next few days was like the calm before the storm, and all players and netizens watching the excitement were waiting silently.
——I stopped by next door to take a look at the map design competition that had ended.
At this time, the online competition of the map design team has ended, and there are indeed many players with great imaginations who have contributed wonderful levels.
In the end, with the votes of netizens, the top eight "Best Maps" and "Most Lively Maps" were determined.
The Carp Star Card House will randomly select a few cards to appear in the "Main Match" and "Friendly Match" of the opening ceremony.
At the same time, the codes for these new maps have also been published online, and players can freely access them and try them out.
In the process of experiencing the happy map, the entry time for the online competition has also come to an end.
Finally, on November 29th, the participating videos once again sprung up on Xiaolan Station. Players want to launch the final sprint before midnight on November 30th!
A video uploaded by a player breaks the record by a wide margin.
It's Foxfire!
Foxfire was the first to upload his own entry video.
The clearance time was... 5 minutes and 10 seconds. He improved his previous score by nearly ten seconds again!
After several days of study, he perfected and optimized the clearance route, allowing Mario to teleport twice to jump through the level, thus saving a lot of time.
At the same time, under Foxfire's superb control, Mario's movements also became erratic. He encountered walking monsters several times, but he refused to die!
It can be said that this talented young man has understood the collision volume of every monster in the game!
Moreover, Foxfire further strives for excellence and perfects every "clearance without lowering the flag" technique, thus bringing the best clearance time to 5 minutes and 10 seconds!
It seems that this achievement is already the limit.
But the vast majority of players told the entire site—it’s not!
A player named "Spicy Rabbit Head" uploaded a clearance video at 18:30 on the evening of November 29.
Like the "advertising space for rent", he also discovered an easter egg (BUG) left by the designer - passing through the wall.
After passing through the pipe and entering the hidden level of level 1-2, players can use certain skills to make Mario pass through the wall, reach the final level selection entrance, and jump directly to level 4-1!
As for Foxfire's optimal route, Mario needs to jump from above.
The operation of shuttling through the stuck wall shortened the time by 5 seconds!
No coincidence.
The player with the ID "Penguin Weird" also discovered the "secret of walking through the wall", and his positioning was more meticulous, leading the game by nearly a second.
The two "wall-penetrating" videos made the competition area silent again, and all players began to re-record the competition videos. They wanted to apply the wall-penetrating technology to their own customs clearance routes.
The audience who followed the game throughout was also stunned.
They originally thought that the racing competition was just a boring procedural competition. To get good results first, it all depends on the players' precise operations and whether they make mistakes.
However, even a few hours before the competition, someone still found areas that could be optimized.
Does "Mario Bros." actually contain so many things?
Everyone suddenly became suspicious and smashed Lu Li's scarf.
Just when netizens across the street were looking for designer Lu Li to find out the reason, another piece of breaking news reached Xiaolan.com.
However, this news came from the points competition area next door.
Compared with the fierce and grand atmosphere of the racing competition, the contestants in the points competition seemed a bit Buddhist.
The video for the racing competition is five minutes long, while the video for the points competition lasts nearly thirty minutes, so the place is much deserted.
If the racing competition is about operation, then the points competition is about understanding the map. Players need to understand every scoring point in the game to ensure that there are no mistakes or omissions.
The game strategy up master "Vanguard Strategy Team" is a master at studying maps.
Strictly speaking, "he" is not an up, but "they" who are many players who love games gathered together.
When "Mario Bros." was first released, they worked together on each level and turned the hidden mechanisms in the game upside down.
Now, they have once again taken advantage of division of labor and cooperation to summarize every scoring point in the game. It can be said that they are the people who study the game most carefully.
After seeing the "stuck videos" uploaded by "Spicy Rabbit Head" and "Penguin Monster", the Pioneer Strategy Team also uploaded their own findings.
In the hidden level 4-2, players can also let Mario go through the wall!
Moreover, after passing through the wall, Mario can also perform a different teleportation, which allows him to reach the level jump teleportation point faster after returning to the ground!
"We discovered this accidentally when we were studying the map." The queen voiceover of the Pioneer Strategy Team was a young lady. She said slowly in a sweet voice, "We are not participating in the racing competition anyway, so we will contribute this discovery. , I hope you can make the game more exciting~"
The members of the Pioneer Strategy Team are all amateur players who love the game first. There are no top-level players among them, so they wisely chose a points game with low rolls.
The operation of "jumping through the wall" is of no use to them, and they may even skip several scoring points.
So, they announced this gameplay that is particularly useful for racing.
And I tell all racing players - "Go and roll it yourself."
When their video was approved, it was already 11pm.
At the same time, this video also announced that all the participating videos being recorded were invalid.
Nowadays, all participating players not only have to re-record new videos and achieve the best results, but also have to race against time.
They must upload the entry video within one hour, otherwise their results will not count no matter how good they are.
Players need to strike a balance between "making a good score" and "counting down".
Of course, the small website with a keen sense of business also discovered the fierce competition in the competition. At 11 o'clock, they immediately announced that all participating videos would enter the "expedited review" channel, and it would only take two minutes to successfully upload.
Videos are being uploaded...
5 minutes and 02 seconds, 5 minutes and 01 seconds...the shortest passing time is constantly refreshed...
However, time waits for no one, and the clock finally rang at midnight.
The vigorous online competition came to an end.
