Kriller37 | [TAS] SMB1 5-1 ABC in 7 A Presses @kriller3771 | Uploaded 4 years ago | Updated 3 minutes ago
Inspiration from the multiple times Kosmic has shown how these floaty physics can save A presses in scenarios like coming out of the pipe in 5-1 or 8-2, however I was able to save 1 more A press than what he does. This was by getting the koopas to be in a specific spot and getting a good Y position so you can clip through the stairs. I was never able to make it on top of that 5th step, but i did get really close a couple times. It might be possible, but it wont save any A presses.

Here I showcase a new location I recently found for doing one of the many ways to get infinite lives in Super Mario Bros. 1. It is already well known to be possible to get infinite lives by repeatedly kicking a koopa shell to kill spinies, but I have never seen it done here.
In order to get the koopa that spawns at the top of the starting staircase over to the right side of the staircase, I had to manipulate spinies to fall onto the koopa at the right times so the koopa would turn around. I believe it is impossible to do with only 1 spiny, so I had to get 2. I dont know exactly how precise, but the position of the first spiny that falls onto the koopa seems to be pretty precise, and I think the second spiny that falls on the koopa is less precise, but I dont know for sure. Still was quite difficult to get spinies to be in the right spot at the right time to get the koopa to turn around exactly where I wanted to. After that was done though, all that was left was to kick the koopa shell over and over to keep killing spinies.
I have never heard of or seen someone get infinites lives in 8-2 in this way, so I think this is new. Please let me know if you can confirm that this was already known.
Side note: You could also get the koopa on the right side of the stair case with only 1 spiny and take damage instead of using a second one.
