Oh yeah,I see it,after watching this test movie.That's really an improvement! haha,thank you ,I didn't notice that kind of mistakes before.
I'll make a new version.But... it happeded at stage 2 and making the new movie will cost me another three or four weeks' time.
Is it OK if I leave this movie still here for more suggestions?

Thanks for your comments :)
I have made some compare in this game and got a conclusion that jumping has the same speed as walking all the time.Sometimes I took more falling off than jumping off,that's just for fun.For there's already much jumping actions in other places and I just walked along to make the actions not so humdrum.

Very interesting,another gift for April Fools' Day.
But is it still in April 1 now?In China it's already 13:11 in April 2.I know that east countries receive the sunrise more earlier than west countries.In this case,the guy who is the first to receive April Fool on the earth can enjoy it for two days' long.Haha,wonderful :D

It's true that our viewers are more sophisticated.Please see some of the replies for Rolling Thunder:
"Wow!! And may I say it again? WOW! This was WHOLLY impressive! I've never seen the final stages be navigated so fast... and the final fight with 1 bullet regenning... TOO COOL!"
"This really is a crappy port of the arcade game, so you're right about that. Capcom made a quite blatant ripoff of this game called Code Name: Viper, that's a better game than this port and would be a pretty good run as well... "
Viper was also mentioned.
I believe that it is possible that if some games were submitted now, it would be rejected.But if an new improved version of these games was submitted now,say,10 seconds faster than the published movie two years ago,what will happen.Is there some possibility that it will be rejected?

This game is hard in some stages.I can still remember the BOSS in stage 3,a very huge plant who can suck the hero into her mouth and throw up the skeletons after chewing(seems the hero is very delicious to her -_-!)
However,this run is very good,it makes the game look to be easy.I vote Yes.
I notice there are several slope places,will it be a little faster if you take a jump at such place.But the jump may also cause a lag.I just give an suggestion,maybe it is worth to have a try:)

I found a very interesting thing.We already have a speedrun of "Rolling Thunder"----[373] NES Rolling Thunder (USA) by foda in 11:51
Compare the two games,Rolling Thunder and Code Name Viper,they are extremely resemble.The hero has two life bars;he can jump forward or vertically;there are rooms from which the hero can get items;there's only one dull BOSS at the last stage;the actions of the hero and even some of the stages are similar. The two games have the same identities.
As to the music and picture in game,Viper is better,for it was put on sale in 1989 while Thunder in 1986.In Thunder there are more enemies to hit.But in Thunder the hero can't fire while he was jumping.
So,as we already have a nice movie for Thunder,let's also welcome the arriving of her twin sister Viper.

It seems I choosed a unpopular game.But I'll appreciate all the replies."Yes" or "No",the opinions are all valuable experience to me.Thank you.
As to this game,to manipulate luck is a difficult thing.I've made another two movies for this game before,but they can't satisfy me because some of the "bomb man" didn't appear at the "save time" places.Finally I make it in the "U" version.
I tried to make it more interesting,like shooting from very long away.At first you think this shoot is
meaningless but just at the time it will disappear from the screen,an enemy come out to eat the bullet.

Yes vote,very nice run.The movie looks more flowing than the last one.And I see the re-record count is more than 30 thousand times,you must have done a hard work to improve it.Good job:)

Easy yes vote.Waiting for this movie,now I am satisfied by 1000%:)
To my surprise it was improved just several days after the first submission.
It seems the bug pressing "left and right" at the same time can be very helpful.Maybe it is worth to be tried in some other games.

To save time I had to get as small as possible live bar.At the end of each small stage the live bars will be added to score and it cost several frames' time,so the ideal state is to make it just at one:)
When playing this game on the TV I disliked the "eggplant" for I will die easily with this object following me,but as to this movie now,I must thank the eggplant:)

Thanks for you for replying.
I am not sure if I have the right to cancel my last movie.
For it has been accepted by the judge Adelikat.
I must thank to adelikat and Sami.

Yeah,right.Some places still need to be improved.I noticed the lag in the water,and maybe we can make better use of the crystals.
Six minutes is a very big improvement,but there is still a long way to make this movie perfect.

Oh Yes,It's really a mistake.I didn't notice it before.
Thank you very much.I'll keep it in mind.
Hodson's Adventure Island 3 is my favourite game.I'll try my best to make a perfect movie for it.

I agree.We 'd better do not use this similar games for movie.
As to Donkey Kong games,how about the GBA game"Donkey Kong--King of Swing".This game is not bad,but not very famous.I've gone through it once.So difficult in later stages.

This game is very interesting.I'd like to see a movie for it.But in my opinion,making a speedrun for such a game will not be easy.You must think out some methords different from the normal ACT games we played.Perhaps good luck is also the key to save time.

I'm sorry,I really didn't expect there'll be so much different opinions for this game.
I'm a new player from China,maybe I'm not experienced enough.This game is very popular in my country and also in Japan.
I've played it for more than ten years on the television.That's why I decided to make a movie for this game.
The game has a method to attract me.Maybe the difficulty,maybe just the music of the ending.Sometimes I suddenly wished to listen to the music of ending,so I put out my FC and played this game,of course using password:)
I think I should learn to post a topic for a new game before deciding to make a movie for it.

I love this game.I have seen the movie for Ecco the Dolphin 1.It's pretty good.
I think I should try to make a speedrun for this game.After all,my nick name is the same as the vigorous dolphin:)
