More Marble Madness madness
Posted on March 3rd, 2010 3 commentsAs if to answer yesterday’s prayers, I managed to track down a video of someone (Japanese, of course) finishing Marble Madness, the arcade original, at very high speed while recording his hands working the trackball. The three minutes and change it comprises are jaw-dropping.
“Recorded 12/30/2008 at Shinjuku MIKADO. ‘Marble Madness is a sport,’ as they say, so I threw up a video I had handy. An utterly stupid mistake on the last stage keeps me from finishing with 99 seconds, but otherwise it’s a relatively decent run. If I can get a flawless run on video, I’d like to update this.”
I knew about the Silly Maze shortcut, but not the one right at the very end. Sheesh!

That massive shortcut at the end just blew my mind. Hardest part of the game? NO PROBLEM

I was absolutely stunned when I saw some of the speedruns on the MAME input file archive. Amazing stuff!

Very impressive if it’s real! All of those “Tool Assisted” game videos make you have to look at these with extra scrutiny.
Someone should tell the guy to enter his score on TwinGalaxies! He would have the #1 high score instantly. The current high score on Marble Madness is 187,880 held by Stan Szc….something or other.
