A short while ago, Orcist asked you to send in your best and most hardcore gaming moments. Today, I step up to the challenge and present to you my video of me gaining 9,999,990 points and 999 lives in Super Mario World for the GBA. No cheats or mods were used at all, I just have no life ...
My original goal was to just reach 999 lives. After accomplishing that, I noticed my overall points was at five million something. So then I said, f*ck it and went on to gain the max points possible. I think it took me about 3 weeks off and on to reach the other five million I needed. Grand total of play time though, I'd have to guess it took a span of four months. Again, I played off an on, so I really have no idea. I'm horrible at guessing time frames.
Got a video you want to show off? Then send it to Orcist.
Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.
