This is a historic movie, submitted and obsoleted before the creation of the database-based (and wiki-based) site engine, before July 2004.

It was inserted to the database in a history revival project by Bisqwit in autumn 2006.

As for the movie itself... This movie grabbed all items just like modern movies of the "warpless" category. It doesn't use glitches or take damage.

This is Warp's third version of the European Rygar timeattack. Many small-scale optimizations summed to a total saving of 59 seconds, compared to the second version. This timeattack is different from the other in that it plays all levels and doesn't use the boss-warp glitch.

Warp initially selected this game because he thought the game is easy... well, it's not :)

The author has written a page explaining and commenting this speedrun.

Note: Famtasia plays PAL games at NTSC speed, that is 16.7% too fast. Thus the AVI is significantly faster than the movie should actually be.

As for the movie itself... Warp's 2nd attempt shows the power of early leveling up, being 3 minutes faster than before.

Gradius 3 completed in Arcade mode.

This movie is similar to Tviks' movie, except that this one aims for 100% kills.
Everything that can be killed is killed. At the later levels that's really hard to accomplish.

Category "uses passwords" is selected because the Arcade mode seems like a secret option in the game.

Please read the welcome page if you haven't already done so. It explains the rules and methods that apply to all of these movies, particularly the use of savestates and frame advance. Also refer to our Glossary to understand terms we use, such as TAS or other unfamiliar terms.
