| Donkey Kong is a classic game that has been challenged plenty of times at this site, by many players. This competitive spirit has made for some 'perfect' runs. Yet each time someone manages to squeeze just a bit more out of it. This latest completion by Phil beats the previous movie by 11 frames. | ||

| This is a TAS of the Japanese Super Mario Bros. 2, a.k.a. 'The Lost Levels', using a suboptimal punk called 'Luigi'. He jumps higher than Mario, but acts slower in many ways. However, the movie is in no way worse than the Mario version - some new creative solutions have been found. This is an 85 frame improvement over the previous movie by Deign. | ||

| Bionic Commando is a platform game with a hero who can't jump, but can quickly latch onto objects with his bionic arm. This TAS is praised for its inhumanly fast grappling and swinging. This is Phil's first contribution to Bionic Commando. It is an improvement of 12.36 seconds over the previous run and proves he is a cat burglar. For more swinging goodness, check out Bionic Commando for the Game Boy. | ||

![]() | NES Kung Fu (USA) in 03:41.14 by Phil. | |
|---|---|---|
| FCEUX movie (.fm2) (date: 2009-10-03) MKV file via BitTorrent (size: 3.20 MB, length: 04:12) Mirror www.archive.org Watch on (www.dailymotion.com) Watch on (www.viddler.com) Watch on (www.youtube.com) Submission #2401 — Author's comments Discuss this movie Obsoletes movie #340 (03:42.55) Rating: 7.0 (20.5 votes) View Publication | - Aims for in-game time instead of real-time - Takes damage to save time - Genre: Fighting | |
| Kung Fu (1985) is a simple beat-'em-up game in which the protagonist known as Thomas has 5 floors of bad guys and bosses to fight through in order to save Sylvia, his girlfriend. Unfortunately, as the final screen tells us, their happiness "does not continue long" — a common arcade trope to make the player beat the game in a second loop.
Phil bested the predecessor movie by over a second thanks to better luck manipulation and decreasing the amount of jumps.
This movie aims for lowest in-game time. The completion times for each floor are: 1552, 1558, 1552, 1545, 1550.

| The few players who have seen this game know that it's an evanescent one. An average speedrun might achieve a time such as 6 minutes. A 5 minute record is an excellent time for speedruns of this game, but requires a lot of luck. But here we have a movie that is 50% faster than even that! This movie beats Phil's previous movie by 120 frames. | ||

| Even the most unconventional means of fighting are nothing uncommon on this website, as shown in the screenshot. This is Phil's fifth movie at Double Dragon, now 38 seconds faster than the previous version. Released on many systems, this game was so popular they even released it for cellular phones and made a board game. Even a hollywood movie has been made. | ||
