I mean, you could just copy/paste the majority of this run into a new run that uses up to date tricks if you really wanted. But that's besides the point...

I didn't find this all that interesting. Lots of not much going on. The GB version on the site is more than enough to represent the game, methinks. Meh vote.

It's really hard to tell if all the routes and planning were spot on, but as a first time viewer of this build of the game, it looks like there was a lot of planning and forethought either way. I was able to sit through the whole thing without any complaints. Consider this a weak Yes vote, I guess.

Map layout is totally dependent on the seed value the RNG assigns when the character is created. You can technically set the seed with a -seed value, thereby ensuring a map that you've pre-approved, but that then locks in the RNG for everything afterwards (damage, AR, drops, etc.)

Voting No on this one. Yeah, it's completed really quickly, but it just isn't that interesting/impressive/rewarding. It just seems more like this game is a big chore, rather than a fun time. Granted, I've never really liked the game's setup compared to, say, Spyro, but that doesn't change the fact that this didn't work for me. Chalk this up to bad game choice.

Yeah, it's really repetitive. Still, I think that and the uppercut are the only good attacks to use in 99% of the instances. I stopped watching after the halfway mark when I realized that it was going to be so similar to the NES run. It's not a bad run by any means, but there were a few spots that made me scratch my head, e.g at ~5;33, couldn't you lure the enemy to the left a bit and knock him off the cliff in one knee? All in all, it's a Meh leaning towards Yes. Two players independent would be cool, since at least the characters would do more than seemingly jump in stereo.

Anonymous No votes are just as easily ignored as anonymous Yes votes. Either way, the votes are more or less there to help the judge decipher what the community is leaning towards if the discussion itself doesn't have an evident representation.

I'm not much of a fan of glitch-heavy runs, but this is a nice improvement on an already good glitchy run. Yes vote.

This was really hard to get through, what with the horrible music and pacing and gameplay and diversity and color palette and repetition and general speed of everything. It really doesn't look like you can make this game entertaining to watch (or play, for that matter). No votin dis.

Got around to watching the encodes. The variety kicked this up to an 11 for me, and the pure speed was way more than I had expected. There is something for everyone here. Easiest Yes I've given in years.

No installation is involved

Few questions: Why is a pizza delivery boy killing cats? And the Mafia? And a Zombie Dog? SUSPENSION OF DISBELIEF IS IMPORTANT! Why is it that you can't reach the spring at the end of the second level? It looks like the bounce height is the same on both jumps. Are all of the conveyor belts you jump over in the third stage working against you, or can you ride more of them? Does jumping off of the key platform cost a frame? Everything else was really straightforward. Just waiting for a response, I suppose.

If you prefer no kill watch the published run i guess, wait no dont, youll complain anyway

You're right: you have no leet gamer skills either way, so it's going to be boring regardless. Give up and kill yourself, I suppose? GO SUPER MEGA SARCASM ALERT GO. Seriously, I don't know how to respond to that reaction. The submission really is boiled down to just running and shooting. Yeah, you could say that SMB gets boiled down to just running and jumping, but at least those two inputs lead to multiple scenarios that produce entertainment. Be glad I didn't vote No and don't be so defensive.
