This movie completes the PAL Rygar with only one item: the grappling hook.

And what an awesome movie it is: it demonstrates as many glitches of the game as possible. Some of the glitches save time radically, some save a little of time, and some don't save time at all but just look cool. You can read more about them at the Rygar Tricks page.

It uses death as a shortcut, but in contrary to the usual, this death does not put Rygar backwards in the game, but instead warps him forward by a couple of levels.
A somewhat similar trick can be done in Mega Man 2, but in Rygar, it places him truely in the next level instead of just virtually.

We recommend reading the author's comments.

Note: This PAL game movie was erroneously recorded at NTSC setting, resulting in 16.7% too fast playback. Thus the AVI is significantly faster than the movie should actually be. The real length is 07:27, that is 25 seconds faster than the previous version.
