This movie is a joint venture between AnS and Randil to improve the previous Darkwing Duck run by Walker Boh, resulting in 35.7 seconds saved through means of extensive optimization, luck manipulation and lag removal. We recommend reading the authors' comments for more details.

The improvement comes from a pause trick to manipulate the speed of platforms, buying a health drink in level 2-4, additional damage boosting, and more.

See the author's comments for details.

Note: The movie's torrent and Archive.org download have been replaced due to a desynchronization that has occurred. Please redownload the movie file. We apologize for any inconvenience.

In this movie the authors control two characters (Goofy and Max) simultaneously. This allows for a good deal of team work as one character can go get an item while the other heads for the exit. When there is no multi-tasking to do, the authors do a good job performing antics with one or both of the characters.

This is a nearly 4 minute improvement over Frenom's previous movie. Improvements come from new tricks, better teamwork, luck manipulation and optimized movements.

This game is about a man named Stanley Ippkiss, who finds a powerful mask known as The Mask. However evil has also become aware of this and kidnaps his girlfriend in order to obtain it.

One of the traits The Mask seems to give Stanley is extreme speed, so naturally, aside from a couple boss fights, the game play is extremely fast throughout the movie.

This is a 3 minute 30 second improvement over the previous movie by the use of a new shortcut in level 1, improved boss fights, and many other optimizations. The author left detailed comments about them.

The teamwork of the two ninjas is remarkable. One of the ninjas often transforms into a tiger on which the other ninja can ride.

The Solstice any% has had more revisions than most movies on this site. This one improves the preceding version by 1.25 seconds thanks to a new trick and even better optimization. More details can be found in the author's comments.

This movie features a 4.75 second improvement over the previous one. It makes Gremlins 2 look like it's just some avoid-obstacles-jump-and-walk platform game, which it really isn't at least meant to be.

Don't watch it after midnight, outside at sunshine or while drinking some water, you might spill it!

This is an improvement of 59.00 over the previous submission by Shiru. The author, Randil, does this primarily by taking more damage and using better strategies for the boss fights. See the author's notes for more details.

This run created by Randil is 41.84 seconds faster than the previous run of the game. For more details about the improvements done in this run, you can read the author's comments.

Author commentaries are available through the run in the form of subtitles. They can be enabled or disabled in the YouTube stream.

This is a 100% completion run of Solstice. Getting 100% means visiting every room and picking up all items. We have an any% published Solstice run that can be seen here.

There is also a Game Boy sequel that is known as Kid Dracula.

This is a 50+ second improvement over the previous movie by Phil and Genisto.

In this run, all 56 levels are well-solved and well-played. There are some unexpected twists, such as going through walls, that allows levels to be beaten much faster than normal.

This game is yet another example of Konami's fascination with moai (Easter Island statues).

This movie is a 35.5 second improvement over the previously published movie.

The torrent file was replaced shortly after publishing because of error in file naming, and download statistics (256 complete downloads) were reset.

This is a 30.28 second improvement over the previous run.

This movie is about a 2 second improvement to the previous version.

Note: The name of this game is Rush’n Attack. The 'n does not stand alone as a contraction of and, unlike Ghosts ’n Goblins. Given the theme of the game, the pun on “Russian Attack” is quite obvious.

This is a 24.26 sec improvement over Randil's previous run. This is due to several strategy changes, such as using the airplane more often in flying levels and using a different power to fight the final boss. For more details, see the author's comments.

The route hasn't changed from the previous movie, but all movements are much more precise. The author has been able to manipulate luck favorably in almost every room by waiting or jumping differently.

This movie improves the previous attempt by over 30 seconds, which goes to show that polishing older movies can really pay off! ;)

This run improves the previous movie by over 30 seconds.

Here the author chooses to take no damage in an effort to make the run more entertaining (an estimated 5-6 seconds could be saved by taking damage).

The author uses a password to get the hardest difficulty, thus not having to finish the game twice. The author also improves on the previous run by about 51 seconds.

In this run, Randil uses zipping glitches (aided by MATLAB) and expert playing to finish with an in-game time of under ten minutes, leaving the enemies in the dust and saving the king with much time to spare.

This is a pretty straightforward and simple game, but the author was still able to improve the old movie by 15 seconds primarily by getting more speed shoes.

It tells a story about a boy, Tarosuke, who seeks to meet Buddha, who will decide about Tarosuke's next life.
In order to meet Buddha, Tarosuke has to do lots of good deeds which earn him "piousness".

Because there is a lot of interesting dialog in this movie, but all in Japanese, the provided AVI is made to contain English subtitles for all in-game dialog text, as well as some explanations. It should help understanding the game events as well as enjoying its weird sense of fun.

This movie is ~80 seconds faster than the previous movie by Morimoto, which was the oldest non-obsoleted movie on this site at the time, being almost 4 years old.

If you were hoping for free pizza from slow delivery, look somewhere else; the author succeeds in deliveries so quickly you'll think the guy was there before people even placed their order.

The speed at which the author manipulates the menus is impressive. This is an 4.12 second improvement over the author's previous movie.

This movie plays "1 player game A" (easy). Ironically, this is MORE challenging for tool-assisted gameplay.

Stage times: 3410, 3560, 3750, 3890, 4270.

Yet another "perfect" movie beaten. This time by 18 frames.

The currently fastest "game B" (hard) TAS can be found here.

The goal in the game, however, is not to get the money - instead you're supposed to frame the mobsters. You do this by planting certain items in desks and stuff like that.

Overall, this movie is a lot like the other storybook TAS: super-fast menu navigation, a lot of route planning, and the general feeling of "What in the world is going on in this movie?"

This is a 2 minute 48 second improvement over the previous movie. Like the previous movie it uses 2 players and does not take warps.

Since the main character drives a wheeled vehicle, this game shows to be the rare kind of a variable scrolling speed shooter, where you can slow the car down if you can't keep up with the action (which obviously never happens in a TAS). The core gameplay holds true to its spiritual predecessor, but this time it's spiced up with stage bosses and various sorts of powerups.

This movie is a 1 minute 14 second improvement over the previous one thanks to increased precision, lag reduction, and better boss fighting.

Following the spirit of that series, this is a stealth-based game. Supposedly tricky tasks are to be performed covertly. But in this movie, stealth is clearly not one of the author's highest priorities. It's all running through guards, as if they weren't there. Yet the player does not die.

This movie is 16.43 seconds faster than the predecessor movie.

In this one you star as Ace Harding, a detective who wakes up having no idea who or where he is. As the game progresses you discover that you have been framed for a crime you didn't commit, and must find a way to clear your name.

This, the fifth submission of this game by the same author, is a 35.45 seconds improvement over the author's previous attempt. Most of the improvement comes from using a "leave bullet" bug, detailed in the submission text.
