with Richy Cream's recent recording on SMB, it looks like we need to reach a ruling regarding leeching in this game.(posted 9097 days ago)For the few who aren't familiar with SMB, this is what happens - at the end of a level where a turtle can walk down the "steps", you can get in a perfect position to keep jumping on it and rack up big points, and 1-ups. This can be done until time runs out, where you can just do it again. And again. And again. There's really no limit to the amount of times you can do this, so this makes the score pretty much meaningless.
There's also a level where you can get a 1-up by kicking a turtle shell into many enemies in a row, die, then repeat... but this process is much slower. Nonetheless, it is another trick where big points can be racked up through little skill. (sorry, I don't know which level it is offhand, but I know one of you SMB guys can provide that answer)
At any rate, I propose that the first trick be banned from MARP and that any recording containing this glitch should be DQ'ed. The second "trick" is of course acceptable when done the first time, but a player that wipes himself out time after time to get a 1-up back and some free points should be DQ'ed.
