IT'S UNDER 9000!

Highscores and speed-runs have always been SUPER important to the community. But one thing that hardly anyone ever looks into is: what is the lowest score manageable? NotEntirelySure managed to answer this question for Super Mario Bros on the NES.

500 is a TINY score. Here's how he did it:

• Miss all the coins, powerups and enemies. Ok, that's pretty obvious.
• Use thewarp pipes. Again, obvious.
• At the flag pole, jump onto the block below the pole, but don't touch the pole. When the timer displays 000, quickly move right. You should get only 100 points for that level.
• On 8-1, there is a glitch where you need to walljump. It is extremely hard to pull off, and this is what will ruin you run again and again.
