This improvement is a result of the previous movie's author joining forces with the author of a VBA bot used in a glitched-out Pokémon TAS. Together they've managed to shorten the solution by 14 frames with the help of a similarly-designed bot for Gens.

Note that, while input length is 10 seconds long, less than 0.3 seconds of it is actual gameplay!

This is a 1 frame improvement over the previous run by gstick.

If you like this run but have a craving for more Maxim action, be sure to check out the Maxim warpless run.

As with many other runs on this site, the goal of pure speed has resulted in the complete breaking of the game. Very little of the game's normal play remains. If you'd like to see more of what Super Mario 64 offers, see the 120 stars run.

This movie is 47 frames faster than the previous movie due to new strategies and extreme optimization, explained in the submission text.

Super Mario 64 has a history of publications on this site. If you wish to see how it unfolded since the beginning, see the page SM64TASHistory. Also, if you have a hankering to see MIPs the rabbit, the 16 stars route has been improved.

Normally, this game is rather long. This movie by Dammit skips most of it by using a glitch that allows the player to get all the important items in a matter of a few minutes.

We strongly recommend reading the author's comments for further details and explanations. For viewers' convenience, we included some of them in the AVI as subtitles.

Most of this run features Link racing across Hyrule so fast that the screen can't keep up, inexplicably warping between places that shouldn't be connected, and collecting just three items, one spell, and one sword technique needed to beat the final palace.

Dark Link, the final boss, takes the same amount of damage no matter what level attack you have. This is especially convenient for the author because he reaches Dark Link without ever leveling, or, indeed, even killing another monster.

This is a 29-second improvement to the author's previous movie due to a different route choice and better manipulation optimization. See the author's comments for details.

A wealth of new tricks contribute to this 33 second improvement over the previous movie.

The run uses a game restart sequence (Up+A on the second controller) to save time in backtracking.

See Metroid Tricks for more information about the door glitch as well as other tips and tricks.

Andy Dick has made a video which plays this run on top of the game map. This provides a unique perspective on the door warping glitches.

In this update, hogehoge61 uses increased frame precision and a further optimized boss fight to shave 75 frames from an already short movie.

There is a movie of this game that does not use the warp glitch.

bobmario511 (the author), however, decided collecting instruments for a one-man band was a waste of time, so he skipped all of that and went straight to the Wind Fish (with a pesky boss battle in the middle).

The author improved the run by 0.16 seconds merely by delaying the third screen warp by one frame. Doing this causes the object on the screen to disappear, reducing the lag by 15 frames. After encountering 5 frames of seemingly unavoidable additional lag, the author produced a run with a net improvement of 10 frames. See the author's notes for more details.

If you liked this, be sure to also check out the Game Boy Color version (DX), which completes all the dungeons.

This movie is just 1 frame faster than the preceding version.

This movie is 14.96 seconds faster than the previous version by Aglar, by using a new route.

See the author's comments for more information on this glitch.

This improves the author's previous movie by about 5 seconds.

This run uses several glitches involving the demo reel that allows the author to skip almost immediately to partway through the final boss (much in the fashion of the published Arkanoid run). Since it's not necessary to play through the final stage, this shaves 3:02.15 from the run.

In this game you're an armor-clad knight with a big sword. You collect gems to bribe a red knight, kill evil beasts and rescue several "distressed damsels".

This movie takes advantage of a glitch that allows to re-enter the first map and substitute the last few levels with the first levels. There is also a movie that does not use this trick. It's slightly longer.

It is a 65.58 seconds improvement to the previous movie by Walker Boh -- this time played by Lord Tom.

Although the route in this movie is almost exactly the same, time was saved mostly by accumulating the tone points (for Rygar's strength) a lot faster. There were other improvements as well. We recommend reading the author's comments for more details.

Note: If you are watching the FCM, don't forget to enable PAL emulation in FCEU! It's under the Config menu.

This has led to even stranger results than the old run, clearing five and a half minutes thanks to a glitch that allows for skipping several levels.

If you're looking for more Duck Dodgers action, see our SNES run.

We also have a more normal run of the localized version, which doesn't include this glitch.

In this run, Touch-me demonstrates how to flawlessly beat the game. What's unusual is that he also uses some glitches to completely skip parts in the game.

This run is 51 minutes and 22 seconds faster than the previous run.

MUGG and pirohiko improved their previous TAS by 21:40.34 by finding a faster and more reliable method to access the debug menu and using it to skip most of the game, including the credits.

This movie is about half as long as its predecessor. Significant glitching is used; you will likely have to read the authors' comments to understand what's going on.

This movie has been obsoleted!

As Bisqwit puts it: Who needs strategy when you can just blast yourself through the wafers of the universe?

Reading the author's comments is a requirement if you want so much as a clue to what's going on.

This run, a ten frame improvement over the previous version, abuses a glitch that was fixed in later releases of Pocket Monsters (Pokémon) that allows a player to warp freely through the world. Victory is achieved in a matter of minutes with this route. Normally, the game takes well over an hour at the fastest to finish.

To see a more substantial run of the first generation of Pokémon, watch this movie. For a less substantial run (which also demonstrates that they didn't fix all the glitches in later versions), watch this one.

This TAS aims for the fastest ending, ED 1. It is 35.64 seconds faster than the cancelled submission by Aqfaq due to new tricks, shortcuts and overall better precision.

This run is so glitchy that it's near impossible to follow what's going on without help; reading the author's notes is highly recommended.

To see a run of the first generation of Pokémon that doesn't take advantage of save data corruption, watch the movie of the Red Version by the same author.

This run improves the previous movie by 19.08 seconds, mostly by finishing the first level quicker by taking a shell and performing the pipe glitch death.

This movie is 30 minutes and 57 seconds faster than the other Kirby run from JXQ by using a new glitch. Read the author's notes for more details.
