EDIT: Quick question. How come your surname was Leandro a few months ago, and became Moura since your previous submission?
I believe his full name is Daniel Leandro Moura, in which case the last name should be "Leandro Moura", or he could choose something to go for like "Daniel Moura" or "Daniel Leandro".

It isn't classic, but I dare you beat double dragon 2 controlling both characters. (It's possible, I did it).
Or Super Mario Bros 1 using just your feet. (it's possible, there's a video somewhere on the internet. I haven't tried it yet, but I don't think I'd have much trouble getting it done, maybe the hammer brothers would be the worst part).
About a list, since there's none, you should start making one, and include emulator videos of them (showing that it's possible, and who did it first or better).

This isn't necessarily an emulator community. If you can somehow add savestates by moddifing a xbox hardware, and making it so that when you load the savestate, it rewrites the input file that is being recorded and that will be later reproduced when turning on the videogame, then you can instantly TAS. But that is quite hard to do and wouldn't be easily reproduceable.

I've beat this game before. Maybe 4 player would be best if it doesn't lag.
IIRC, there are 4 towers and you can choose the order to beat them before visiting the last tower, so you'd have to choose carefully.

I'm impressed at how many of you never played this game. It should be as known as super mario or street fighter. I love the voice in this game, it's way cooler than real voice. I'll watch it later, gotta run.

The movie was pretty funny, and it didn't feel like watching a 1p run, of course, because 80% of the time 2 players are on the screen.
But the fighting did suffer from a lack of surprises especially near the end. If repetition is going to be used for speed, at least keep the enemy standing so it goes faster. When a movie becomes predictable, it also becomes unentertaining.
It had its funny moments though, and as much as i'd like to vote yes, (it's a 2P run, faster, obsoletes famtasia movie), I'm not sure what to do. I'll refrain from voting : /

IIRC Mario always has to take some time to take off his cap and put it back on during the coin-counting animation, so as long as the runner doesn't collect a ridiculous number of coins it shouldn't matter.
I really haven't tested over 100 coins, but i'm thinking that it counts faster if you have over 100 coins (so that it doesn't take longer than the hat animation). It doesn't matter anyway, no time was wasted dodging coins in the 120 star run.

mwl: is it possible to get more than 100 coins anywhere in the game other than the main 15 courses? I think in bowser 3 he keeps throwing coins, right?

Very entertaining movie, even though it's 2 AM and I'm really sleepy, so that's a plus.
I voted yes, but the emulation problems give me doubts whether to publish it.
The movie itself was creative and had it's funny moments. Nice glitch too.

I think now that there is a faster one in the que this one should be at least briefly published in order to document it, hex editing the improvement would not be worthwhile, although it should be noted that many of the strategies and generic improvements in the other submission are directly copied from this run.
I don't see why the other one should be promptly published, so you have time to obsolete it :)
