- Contains speed/entertainment tradeoffs
- Genre: Sport
The third installment to the Tony Hawk series of skateboarding games.

Since there is no real use in aiming for the fastest time, emu instead opts to show off by performing crazy stunts, large combos and making a really high score. It is intended to be judged by its mastery of the game rather than how quickly it reaches completion.

If you want to see more THPS action, please see the THPS 1 and the THPS 2 runs.

- Takes damage to save time
- Genre: Action
- Genre: Platform
Dynamite Headdy (1994) is an often-overlooked action/platformer gem whose main hero, a star puppet named Headdy, can attack his enemies by shooting his detachable head at them.

During the span of the game, Headdy must defeat the evil puppet king Dark Demon who captured his friends' home town, the Keymasters that guard the path to the villain, and Headdy's lifelong rival Trouble Bruin, who is eager to take his place in the production.

To prevent all those bad things from happening, Headdy has a nice arsenal of interchangeable heads that are used both to attack enemies and to aid traveling, which brings enough variety to entertain the viewer throughout the movie.

- Forgoes warps
- Uses hardest difficulty
Garfield and Odie broke the TV. After they "fix" it, the "spare parts" from the TV turn into a monster and suck Garfield and Odie into the TV! With cat-like reflexes, Garfield defeats the monster (known as Glitch) in short order by, among other things, manipulating luck and taking damage to save time!

Mickey's out to visit all of his past blockbuster cartoons as far back as 1930 and rescue his friends from the corresponding antagonists.

This game has very colorful and detailed visuals, especially for a Genesis game.

Taz, that crazy tasmanian devil, has been imprisoned on Mars and needs to spin his way to freedom.

Taz's main form of movement is his signature tornado, which is quite fast (and easily abused in a TAS for extra speed). If you like the other Taz run for Genesis, you'll probably enjoy this one too.

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.
