Tool-assisted movies

The author tries to complete the game moderately fast, while showing off different things you can do and getting a high score in progress.

Doesn't get hit, except in 2 VS fights where losing is part of the game plot.

Ending score: 32074970

Note: If playing the AVI file causes problems in your Windows, ensure you are using the newest version of ffdshow, as explained in FAQ.

Look no further, nitsuja in this extremely high-speed run demonstrates how to break the sound barrier and why Sonic is the fastest character in the video game universe.

The average character movement speed in this movie is probably the highest of all the movies on this site.

This movie doesn't collect any of the Chaos Emeralds, but does demonstrate almost every single move that Sonic is capable of in this game.

And the movie is good too. Collision check errors are abused, and somehow some jumps are made longer than they should normally be.

In this movie, Acmlm rapid-fires Tetris blocks so fast that no one else has any idea what's going on. Even the game itself is confused. Levels do not end properly until the entire sphere is blown apart. As for the timer when it reaches zero, well, see for yourself. :)

The final score is 2,613,944 points. In contrast, the best current unassisted record is only about 18,000. There are huge bonus multipliers which stack together to produce the massive score.

Whereas the previous movie's goals went for both speed and points, this movie's primary goal is speed, and only gets as many points as possible when it doesn't waste time. For example, targets and swimmers are deliberately missed to reduce score-counting at the end of levels. Altogether, this is 54 seconds faster than the previous version.

Stray shots are used to manipulate luck.

Curiously, the game Rad Racer was made by Square, which is probably best known for its Final Fantasy game series. Quite a different game, this here...

Note: Instead of AVI, this publication comes in OGM and MKV formats.
We experimented with the Vorbis audio codec, and there is no reliable solution to embed Vorbis sound into an AVI.

Please read the Codec Problems page if you have problems using an OGM or MKV file.

It warps directly to the 19th level and fills half of the field quickly to be able to operate short distances in the top part of the field. From there on, it only gets tetrises (4-line clearings) until the score is maxed out.

A glitch involving pressing several directional buttons at once is used to manipulate luck for the next pieces. Flickering of the next piece block and piece in play results.

For the record, this is the fastest speed the NES game is capable of. For more extreme Tetris fun, please see movies from Arika Online.
There's some really awesome stuff there. (Click to download - 14 MB)

Note: The AVI was replaced due to missing author information.

Emulation of this game is not correct. Lag present on the SNES is not represented in this run. Expect the speed to be higher than actually seen on a real console. For this reason, the audio track lags severely behind the rest of the run. As a result, some of the bosses can be defeated before the boss music begins.

The level of play is far and above what any human could do in real-time on this game.

This is an 8 second improvement over Acmlm's previous movie.

In this version, the scoring system works a bit differently, so instead of doing many combos in a chain as the US version movie does, a few very large combos help reaching the goal about 35 seconds faster, achieving it at 0'29 by ingame time.

There are no other differences between the two versions.
