I don't do speed runs here, but after watching the 101% run I couldn't help but notice a few wasted seconds. In Bouncy Bonanza, you do not need to go into the room that has Winky. I played through the game and ignored that room, and I still got 101%. Just to let you folks know.

This movie de-synced for me during the croc chase level, but the part I DID see was awesome. Definitely a good run. Edit: And to answer the question Bisqwit asked him, his is faster than mine because he skips the bonus rooms. And even getting the bonus rooms, there are others who leave mine in the dust.

It's a side-scrolling game where the character goes through the levels blowing away enemies. He can get several types of guns in the game, but he can only hold one at a time. He can go into rooms and talk to people and get information, buy weapons, or play a betting game. In my opinion, Xexyz (pronounced Zex-iss, I think) is an overall pretty fun game. If you want, you can find small websites that have screenshots.

I'm kinda new to this place. Xexyz is one of my favorite NES games, and I think I can do a good speed run through it. However, every single Xexyz rom I've come across won't work. In Famtasia it says "unknown opcode" etc., and on my other emulator it just doesn't do anything. Are all the Xexyz roms like that, or is it something with my computer in particular? Is there something in the code I could change to fix it? I don't think many people are familiar with this game, but if anyone can tell me something helpful, I would very much appreciate it.

I have the actual cartridge version of this game and I've played through it numerous times, and I have to say that speed run is really fun to watch. Great job!

Is there any place where we can see these 40-minute time-attacks? I'd really love to see how they do it, 'cause my fastest is 45 (game time).
