Hey Steph!
You have to take into account that the 11-minute vieo is a 'fake'. I'm putting that in quotes rather than actually calling it a fake because, supposedly, the person who made the video never intended for it to be taken as a single play through the game. What the person did was play SMB3 on emulator, save state constantly, and go back to a previous save every time something went wrong. I can't find an official site to prove this, but check out the discussions in the following places:

*WARNING: links contain unmoderated language*Anyways, I give the nod to the piano-player over the emulator-player, since I probably have the skills to do the latter but not the former . . .

LoL, well, I guess after seeing how crazily well all the kids in my church play the piano, I am biased, and somehow I think someone being able to play Mario that well is much cooler than someone being able to play the piano ;) lol But then that is just me!
