[TAS] Genesis Mario 3: Around the World by despoa in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/5101M
TAS originally published on 2023-02-20
Mario 3: Around the World is a bootleg video game for the Sega Genesis from Russia. While the game itself is very basic but with some awkward controls, it's one of many Russian bootleg games that have become infamous online for having some rather disturbing game over screens (none of which show up in this run). Many assets were stolen from other places such as the music and sprite work.
despoa ( tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/d... ) takes Mario around the world to rescue Paper Princess Peach in record time.

This diagonal "jump" brings back memories of attempts to create games back in the day.

[@MrRuePine]

I've just experienced this diagonal jump problem myself today on Game Dev class.

[@rxser1839]

Ah yes, the Mario that I remember

[@AAAAA-eb6cr]

Is not that bad if they fix the physics :/

[@Damian_1989]

I love how the music goes excessively hard at times

[@seanmarsh8411]

I read this comment first and was like “I ponder what they mean” 20 seconds in “OH”

[@jbiquez]

It goes hardcore hard

[@Trimint123]

* suddenly commit Amiga *

[@PaulFisher]

“goes excessively hard” is not how I would describe “is pegged to absolute maximum volume” but other than that yeah

What do you expect from a russian game

[@xtremexavier4822]

This game feels like I’m watching someone else’s fever dream

3:20 this track sounds like something from a Sonic Game

8:57 Mario saved the Princess and once again destroyed Wario's insidious plans. The Princess returned to her palace and again everyone in the Mushroom Kingdom lived happily.

[@basicallyGuestcorn]

Mario did nothing and won. It’s like we only help him travel but he will kill Wario by himself off-camera as the blood was too much. That’s why he became a comedy character instead of being a villian he was supposed to be. He quits being evil and failing everytime.

[@worsethanhitlerpt.2539]

The colors are too good to be Genesis must be using a higher color pallette

[@TheKeyboardKing1]

I support all future Mario games having trance soundtracks

[@oggilein1]

I cannot express how happy I am to see this game get the TAS recognition it deserves, and thanks to the bootleggers having a good taste in music it's much more enjoyable to watch compared to some other bootlegs (sonic adventure 7 comes to mind)

[@sudaryatidacosta4513]

BMB (or VMV) are the russian developers who made this game, no wonder its decent

[@nicthecat]

​@@sudaryatidacosta4513 but they dont have good taste in level transition and continue screens unlike the ones who made the all-stars smb1 port for sega genesis (let alone making a bootleg game as good as hyper pacman that came out like 16 years before this)

[@yordansic]

Imagine thinking liking EDM is “having good taste in music”. 🙄 This couldn’t be more wrong.

Scout was thrown from the TF2 Train because of the music at 0:21

The music slaps.

Come on guys. This just might be the greatest Mario of all time! Top 10!

[@UGRRetribution]

6:59 Mario, you got something to share with the class?

[@LunarSoul255]

The music in this unironically slaps, and I genuinely wonder what the source some of these tracks were taken from is.
Also the Aztec level splash screen is incredibly creepy

[@RADish-official]

From the creators of Genesis Lego Batman
*no seriously these where made by the same Russian dudes*

[@gigahertz5831]

I think they go by BNB

[@astonquintanilla9301]

I like how the themes for the game go from Egypt to Aztec to Snow

[@Austinator0630]

The pyramid theme background is taken from Yoshi's Island DS.

[@JKRetroGaming]

Nice video and gameplay

[@Austinator0630]

The jungle theme that features the pyramid is taken from Yoshi's Island DS.

An awesome music album sold as a videogame

[@theengineer-dellconagher]

im pretty sure this is all just stolen stuff (and the description agrees)

[@ariesmercurio1869]

@@theengineer-dellconagher everything is stolen in this game
For example the Mario sprites are from Mario & Wario(who is supposedly the villain in this game tough he never appears,not even in Photos)
and the koopas from super Mario Bros 3

Hot take: I actually like how Mario controls, you have almost 100% free movement over your jumps

[@souptaels]

Is there an OST anywhere cause why tf is this bootleg's music going so hard at times

[@SoratobuTamashi]

ua-cam.com/play/PLRvVYSKH92aR47FHQgc8LIqws7NKi6FCX.html you're welcome

[@gigahertz5831]

You can find most of these tracks on a program called tfm music maker
They are slowed down a bit but that's where majority of these stolen songs come from

[@souptaels]

@@gigahertz5831 ah okie thank you!

[@OmegaChase1002]

I like Mario's sprites.

[@turbomario]

I think they’re ripped from one of the GBA games, iirc it’s Mario Party Advance

[@NunofYerbizness]

No, they're from Mario & Wario

[@turbomario]
