Michael Jackson's Moonwalker is a 3 player arcade game, where you play either a white-, red-, or black-suited Michael Jackson. The author uses all three players to complete this game as fast as possible.

This hack features several modifications, such as the ability to change characters mid-match, teleportation, midair special moves, and new projectile attacks. Capcom later incorporated some of these new moves into Street Fighter 2 Turbo.

In this run, the author shows off all the fighters and makes good use of some of the craziness added to the game. He also shows off quite a few glitches that are quite amusing to see.

Note: As it is widely available in stand-alone form, no patch is available or necessary.

Despite the game's nonsensical name, error1 creates an entertaining run of Dramatic Battle mode, controlling both players against the cpu and using them to pummel his opponents with style. He uses the combination of Dhalsim and Rose to create entertaining combos.

All right now, play friendly!

This game features an initial choice of four levels, with the added quirk that the level layouts will depend on previous stage choices, and some boss machines that would make Dr Wily envious.

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's plot.

Ending score: 32074970

In the run, the author makes usage of those special moves gained in-game to beat the opponents as fast as possible. He also takes advantage of an interesting quirk in the opponents' AI, ensuring that they do not get up after the first knockdown. For more details, see the run's comments.

AKheon plays the Tag Team mode, where he chooses a team of two fighters to fight against other teams. The character can be swapped at any time during a match.

If you're looking for a run that abuses a lot of crazy glitches in a handheld fighting game, then don't look further, you have it right here!

The author also did a tool-assisted playaround on Mortal Kombat II (Game Boy version) and on Mortal Kombat Advance.

AKheon makes the in-game fighters look like idiots by glitching the game in a lot of possible ways!

The author also did a tool-assisted playaround on Mortal Kombat II (Game Boy version) and on Mortal Kombat: Tournament Edition.

If you want your SNES UMK3 fix, you can check out this movie and this staff-recommended movie.

In this run, Cardboard demonstrates his ninja skills using Sasuke as he effortlessly charges through levels and beats the end bosses so fast they barely have enough time to fight back.

In this version, the player plays as the Battletoad Zitz on a quest to rescue the other two Toads, Rash and Pimple, from the Dark Queen. This game has only 9 stages, as opposed to 12 in the NES version. However, unlike the NES version of the game, there are no warps, and there is no two-player option. There are also fewer time-saving glitches. That doesn't stop Cardboard, though, from beating up tons of enemies and completing the game very quickly.

For more Battletoads madness, you can also see our movies of the NES version.

In Kung-Fu Master, the player displays frightening reflexes that would be enough to obliterate any opponent.

In this run, the author, mugg, improves his previous run by changing the goal to getting the best in-game time, ignoring lag caused by enemy drops, among other things, in order to make for a more entertaining run. In addition, he changed the ROM used to the Japanese version, sacrificing some elements in order to make the fastest possible run. Please see the author's notes for more details.

The author also did a tool-assisted playaround on Mortal Kombat: Tournament Edition and on Mortal Kombat Advance.

If you want even more MKII action, check out our run for the SNES version as well.

Note: This movie is unofficially rated "PG-13" for having lots of blood and gibs. Viewer discretion is advised.

If you're eager to see more highly glitched Mortal Kombat action, consider watching the SNES run.

We have seen several submissions for this game here but this is the first one to be published. The author shows off fancy fighting with Yoshi on the hardest difficulty. Rather than the usual goal of speed, this movie aims to be as entertaining as possible in the tradition of all fighting games here.

Another submission by the same author but which is based upon fastest completion time instead, can be watched via emulator movie at its submission page. There are also several other submissions of various quality that can be watched on an emulator.

The answer is a resounding "yes", though we're not sure if Karnov counts as a ninja or not.

In this run, Kirkq utilizes obscure and unusual jump patterns to move quickly. During the game's lengthy scrolling sections, optimization shifts more toward entertainment.

This movie requires FCEU 0.98.12.

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...

In this run, feos and MESHUGGAH, beat the previously fastest TAS of this game by 2:22.16, this time using 2 players instead of 1. You will laugh, you will cry, but most of all, you will wonder how in the world they broke this game so much. Do yourself a favor and read the authors' notes.

As always, a bug on level 11 prevents player 2 from moving, so he gets a game over for that level. Player 1 plays level 11 alone and player 2 comes back for level 12. This is a bug in Battletoads itself.

This movie probably qualifies for "Quickest Giant Robot Fights."

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.

This new version by adelikat is 14 seconds faster than his previous effort. Most of the improvement came from a new shortcut in level 6.

The author has used a built in subtitle feature of FCEUX to include some commentary on the movie. An AVI that includes these subtitles has been added.

This is the author's 3rd version and is an improvement of about 28 seconds over his previous movie.

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.

This is nearly a minute and a half improvement over the previous movie.

Also, the author made a switch from the JPN version to the USA, which results in a 5 second slower intro screen.

In this game, guide Nightshade through Metro City to build popularity, fight rats, gentleman, and female ninjas, and most importantly museum statues.

This run by Maximus speeds through the game as fast as Nightshade is able to, ignoring lesser goals such as the museum items, saving a kitty, or checking out the women's dressing room. It is 25 seconds faster than the previous version by the same author.

Unfortunately the only escape from a deathtrap seen in this run is the deathtrap Nightshade finds himself in at the beginning; however one of the highlights of this game which can also be enjoyed in this run is the hilarious dialog, such as being threatened by the legalization of wooden nickels.

This is the 5th published version of this game. This run manages to improve four fights, totaling to a 0.97 second clock time improvement, and 32 frames of real time improvement.

A glitch is used often in this run when left and right are pressed at the same time, which causes the player to do all sorts of crazy things, and usually lose all of his power. This is done to reduce lag during running segments. The boss battles are fought with style in mind, using a variety of attack methods throughout.

Selected Quote from the authors:

We looked at previous submissions and demonstrations of this game and tried to include the most entertaining parts of what was available, and add in a few ideas of our own along the way. Hopefully you'll get a kick out of it.

With two players, the game spawns around 8/5 more enemies than with one player. Also the boss HP has been increased.

While this run is slower than the one player run, the author makes up for it in entertainment with one turtle fooling around while the other turtle is attacking.

Note: This movie must be played with FCEU 0.98.26, or else it will desync on the first stage.

This movie is Baxter's new and improved version, which is an astounding 4 minutes faster than his previous version. Donatello has learned the secret ninja art of teleportation and... no, actually, a glitch that enables the player to move around extremely fast is used to hit all the enemies as soon as they come on screen. But most of the improvement comes from outstanding luck manipulation.

Raphael is by far the fastest turtle, but he also has the weakest special attack. Michaelangelo has the strongest special attack, though he is slow. Leonardo is also used occasionally in this run, since his special attack can hit some bosses twice. Unfortunately for Donatello fans, Don is not used in the run.

This movie improves the previous one by over 3 minutes, due to the use of two turtles and careful management of score and health.

The American version of this game is a lot more difficult than the Japanese one (Mad City), although this video makes it seem easy.

This is a 56 second improvement over the previous movie by Phil.

This movie is about 10 seconds faster than the previous publication due to some suprising fighting strategies.

Alternating between high and low punches, and fast or slow jabbing speeds, you seek to outwit your urban adversary and knock him backwards, a screen at a time, until finally he falls to his death by plummeting, helpless, headlong into the darkness of an open sewer-access manhole.

By finding a new glitch, using a different fighting technique, and further polishing the run, the author, t3h Icy, beats his obsoleted movie 0.84 seconds faster.

This is an improvement of 44.4 seconds to the previous movie by xoinx, coming from route changes, more strategic use of Power Fist, and other changes (read authors' comments for more details).

This movie is about 7 seconds faster than the previous version.

Completed on the hardest difficulty.

Compared to the previous movie this is over 10 minutes faster. Primarily due to the use of 2-players and a glitch that skips most of the last level.

Details can be found in the authors' comments.

Played with Max on Mania difficulty.

This is a three minute improvement over the previous run. We recommend reading the author's comments of this movie.

Though, he also thinks it's faster to simply do a flying kick over entire levels.

TODO: Put a Chuck Norris reference in somewhere, and get an editor to write a description that's actually good.

Just like the previous run, Sotel6 uses sledgehammers to kill enemies, bringing new meaning to the phrase "tool-assisted speedrun". (Groan.)

In this movie, Spinal takes down his enemies by slicing them up, hitting them with their own abilities, and (gasp!) making them dance to music!

Here the author chooses to take no damage in an effort to make the run more entertaining (an estimated 5-6 seconds could be saved by taking damage).

This movie aims to demonstrate as many quirks and fatalities of the game as possible. Examples include two Shang Tsungs with a Raiden child, a headless Reptile eating Kitana's head and a bloody clone of Jax. The AI is also humiliated.

The author's comments page is a definitely recommended reading for this movie.

Note: The movie contains semi-realistic violence to be expected with the Mortal Kombat series.

This action packed TAS features the female ninja, Kunoichi, on a mission to leave no crotch unpunched.

The record times are:

           Gabby Jay  6.26           Bear Hugger 12.92
    Piston Hurricane  5.49             Bald Bull  8.24
         Bob Charlie  5.50           Dragon Chan  7.30
       Masked Muscle  6.33           Mr. Sandman 13.13
           Aran Ryan  8.45          Heiki Kagero 10.60
           Mad Clown  9.05       Super Macho Man  9.43
       Narcis Prince  8.43           Hoy Quarlow  8.35
        Rick Bruiser 10.67          Nick Bruiser  7.52

This movie focuses more on pulling off crazy combos and showcasing Zangief's big repertoire of throws than beating every opponent as fast as possible, since that would just lead to the same few combos being used over and over.

The damage for every move was mapped out carefully by monitoring the internal values of the RAM, to be able to choose the best attack for every situation. Luck was manipulated to make some enemies appear in more convenient positions.

As per all good Mortal Kombat TAS's, the game is humiliated and turned into a laughing stock.

TODO: Describe.

The authors take advantage of this and deliver an exceptional playaround movie. Bugs, easter eggs and impossible combos are shown off at a breathtaking pace. The movie features a mix of 1 and 2 player play for added variety.

This movie is longer than its predecessor by around 14 minutes, showing off more glitches. It also uses a cheat that enables pausing in order to show off even more glitches.

Other highlights include nunchucks that can destroy bullets.
