I got through several bosses until I reached Bowser's Clown Car. Everything went fine until the second phase of the battle in which you have to rapid-fire the bullet bill... The "One-Bullet-At-A-Time" glitch was what killed me and my motivation to beat IWBTG.

My friend beat the entire thing though, earning my utmost respect for such perseverance.

Have you seen the successful, straight-through, impossible (or whatever the hardest level was--iirc there are no checkpoint in impossible) completion of this? I can share the first video if you guys want. The guy who beat it was freaking amazing. Call it a waste of time, but it was freaking amazing. The comedic scenes were also enjoyable especially because he went straight through the game with flawless planning and reaction... X___X

This game is so much fun. I have yet to beat it though, last got stuck on Dracula but maybe its time for a revisit.

My brother though is absurd at this game, he can easily get through a boss or more on impossible runs.

I have a friend that beat it. Consumed him for a good month or so. Too bad he didn't turn into "the guy" after beating the game.

Jesus this is hard. Spent an hour on the first 2 screens alone.

Btw can anyone tell me what the commands are? I've only figured out the walk/move but I don't know the shoot button.

Adventure Island is the hardest actual published video game ever from an execution standpoint...IWBTG is just an exercise in memory and trial and error.

Anyone claiming this is just trial and error and memory tricks needs to actually try it. Even when you know what's coming, avoiding it is damned hard.

This game is amazing. I played through it a while back and posted it on youtube. Beating the game took me a while because I got stuck on the final boss for a couple months. If you wanna see it for yourself here's a link to the playlist.

http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=A7709039298BA03F

There's a second game to it that never got completed called "I wanna save the kids" which is basically the mechanics of IWBTG plus Lemmings. I have yet to record that game. Shame there's only a couple screens to it.
I like the purple bags of skittles.

When a game is hard to the point of being impossible without outside assistance it isn't really that interesting, it's not hard to do something like that.

The charm comes in something being challenging but attainable. It's trivial to make something excessively easy or hard, getting it right is what's tough to do.
So it doesnt prove your point. If its not the hardest game, its not the hardest game. You arent talking about hardness then, but some other artistic quality which you have left undefined for some reason

Tool Assisted gameplay != challenging. IWBTG is far more difficult.

So Play it without tools then :p
Aah thats the stuff..

Jesus. I just watched a speedrun of this, fucking amazing.

I only knew about this game because of the music from Monty On The Run (which is seriously fucking amazing for a C64 piece of music)

Hey if you look for something similar there is Kaizo Mario:

Its also a smw hack but its actually possible.


That ending is garbage! How do you win? I have to say I LOL'd pretty hard at the commentary. Especially the QQ at the end.

if you look right before the goal, there's a block to turn those coins into blocks. gotta stop before you go through the goal and hit it

yeah but still its a MAJOR part of the game which totally kills it for me.


ive always been a platformer lover. from the COUNTLESS hours i played mario allstars(esp lost levels) and others like the DK games with friends over the last 15 years ( we still play it sometimes when drinkin/chillin) over N game which i beat 100% to meatboy which im soon 100%.


but after a very short time i deleted IWBTG cause it just seemed stupid and unfair to me. i dont want to be guaranteed to die 50 times evrytime just to memorize evrything till finally the actual gameplay starts.

life of lively to live to life of full life thx to shield battery

I love the star fox reference at the end of the game (credits).
