| Legend of Zelda (ゼルダの伝説) is an adventure game that needs no introduction to most NES players. It is a large game that normally takes days to beat, but at TASvideos, we often reduce games to the minimum necessary in order to complete them. This is the fifth Legend of Zelda TAS at this site (not counting the second quest movie), and is ~85 seconds faster than the previous movie, due to a completely new route, better strategies and luck manipulation, glitches and some new techniques according to the authors. It took about 1½. years to complete. | ||

This movie has been obsoleted!Click here to see the new movie.Legend of Zelda (ゼルダの伝説) is an adventure game that easily takes you days to beat. Its world is so huge and full of obscure secrets that without great deal of planning you won't make it in less than many hours. The previous Zelda movie which was designed together by many masterminds at the Nesvideos forums and played by Sleepz has now been beaten by Phil by 86 seconds because of tactical changes mostly. The Up+A trick (save and restart) was used in this movie several times. It was judged to be acceptable because it's mentioned in the instruction booklet of the game, and is a part of normal playing. This video is certainly quite a surprise to anyone who has used hours and hours exploring the Hyrule world. :) | ||

This movie has been obsoleted!Click here to see the new movie.This game is Super Mario Bros, the original, but on Famicom Disk System. It is much similar to the ROM version of the game, except for one minor difference that is demonstrated here. The −1 stage is completely different. In the NES and Unisystem versions, the −1 stage repeats infinitely and cannot be completed, but in FDS, it can be completed, and then come −2 and −3. The −3 stage in FDS is a castle level, and completing it ends the game, even though it says "princess is in another castle". The princess is not seen in the ending, but she is sighted twice in the −1 stage, as shown in this movie. This is a 43 frame improvement to the previous movie; 42 frames of which were due to a glitch discovered by klmz. For details on this glitch read the submission text of the normal run. | ||

| Battletoads (1991) is a futuristic beat-'em-up game that is known for its graphics and extreme difficulty. The story is that the sexy Dark Queen who wants to rule the universe has kidnapped Princess Angelica and a toad named Pimple. Two other toads, Rash and Zitz, attempt to rescue them and defeat the Dark Queen. This single-player attempt uses warps. Maybe you thought Battletoads was a game full of amphibians, but it is actually full of bugs. Those beta testers really should have spent a little more time on this game... | ||

This movie has been obsoleted!Click here to see the new movie.Donkey Kong is a classic game that has been challenged plenty of times at this site, by many players. The author of this movie manipulates luck so that Mister Jumpman (who later became Mario) never needs to jump over, wait for, or otherwise evade deadly objects. Note: Previously, every attempt at this game had been rejected ― either because the movies had been imperfect or just because the game is too simple. (Isn't it? Even the video codec thinks that it can encode the movie without loss at a mere 251 kbit/s rate.) But persistence prevailed (take no hint!); the competition between players entailed a movie's publishing. Soon thereafter, it was improved 4 more times. Here's the latest version, made by Phil. The following other authors should be acknowledged for their contributions: | ||

| For the fans of the Castlevania series ― here's a TAS of a Castlevania game that is hmm.. much much more aimed toward children than the darker-themed games. The game was only released in Japan.
There is also a Game Boy sequel that is known as Kid Dracula.

| This game has very smooth animation and the characters, including the last boss (which isn't much seen in this version of the movie), look somewhat funny, despite the theme of the game. The USA version is almost twice as slow as the Japanese version. We recommend reading the author's annotation of this movie. | ||

This movie has been obsoleted!Click here to see the new movie.The Adventures of Bayou Billy (1989) contains a trinity of genres: beat 'em up (like Streets of Rage), sniping (like part of Golgo 13), and car racing (like Rad Racer). In the game, 'Bayou' Billy West fights his way through Louisiana en route to New Orleans in order to save his kidnapped girlfriend, the luscious Annabelle Lane. The American version of this game is a lot more difficult than the Japanese one (Mad City), although this video makes it seem easy. P.S. Check the picture and guess who won the duel ;). | ||
