In this movie the author abuses many glitches to take massive shortcuts in the game (including skipping an entire level). He also intentionally kills off the character several times in order to avoid backtracking.

The goal in the game, however, is not to get the money - instead you're supposed to frame the mobsters. You do this by planting certain items in desks and stuff like that.

Overall, this movie is a lot like the other storybook TAS: super-fast menu navigation, a lot of route planning, and the general feeling of "What in the world is going on in this movie?"

Here, DonamerDragon obliterates what is normally a many hours-long game through heavy luck manipulation.

Aug. 07, 2009: Replaced MKV with one that has sound for the duration of the movie. Please redownload.

Following the spirit of that series, this is a stealth-based game. Supposedly tricky tasks are to be performed covertly. But in this movie, stealth is clearly not one of the author's highest priorities. It's all running through guards, as if they weren't there. Yet the player does not die.

This movie plays through Pokémon Gold in a fairly fast manner, catching only a half dozen Pokémon in the process, but acquiring all the gym badges, and ultimately beating the protagonist of the earlier generation Pokémon games.

The author of this movie, FractalFusion, has written very extensive details of anything regarding this movie, including even some of the mathematical formulas used by the game. As usual, we recommend reading it.

This run is so glitchy that it's near impossible to follow what's going on without help; reading the author's notes is highly recommended.

Note: This movie uses a hard reset (akin to turning the system off and then on again) and will desync unless you have a version of VBA that supports reset recording. For more information, see the forum topic for VBA.

This movie aims to complete as the required number of lines as fast as possible. Of course the best course of action is to get only "tetrises" (4 lines at once).

This is a 5.73 second improvement over the previous movie.

This Wario game is a fairly unique platformer, where you not only play as "the bad guy" but normal damage is replaced with various status effects like catching on fire. In addition, the use of these effects is needed to complete the game.

We recommend reading the authors Submission Text, it has a great deal of information.

In this run, MattyXB demonstrates how to flawlessly beat the game. What's unusual is that he also uses some glitches to completely skip parts in the game saving over 20 minutes. The "Power" option is selected on every level-up.

Those trying to follow the story in this movie will have a hard time, since the main characters were both named "A" and integral points in the story were skipped.

Watch MattyXB defeat the evil Dark Lord and others using the "Power" option for every level-up, and glitching out the game where possible.

It's easier to follow the story in this run, but still tricky at times because both main characters were named "A".

Although the game looks straightforward, it requires a lot of precision and a bit of luck manipulation to play it this well.

This game is one of the first to have an overhead map and combine RPG-like elements with platform levels.

This is a 32 second improvement over the previous movie by Spezzafer.

This movie completes all 30 levels of the "going up" mode.

Swordless Link (the author), however, decided collecting instruments for a one-man band was a waste of time, so he skipped all of that and went straight to the Wind Fish (with a pesky boss battle in the middle).

If you liked this, be sure to also check out the Game Boy Color version (DX), which completes all the dungeons.

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

That being said, Metroid II doesn't keep track of the collected items' percentage. Moreover, the game has two excessive Energy tanks and an additional copy of each beam. It's been agreed that the author should take all the E-tanks, and at least one copy of each beam. However, due to the apparent linearity of this game, collecting so many additional items doesn't make the movie dramatically slower.

This movie is nearly 6 minutes faster than Alter's previous movie due to better precision, faster Metroid fights, and missile planning.

Note: This movie does not use secret worlds, also known as "select glitch".

This movie by Cardboard puts the Spring Ball and Spider Ball to great use to compensate for the lack of items, and achieves victory in the shortest time possible.

This run features the use of a pause glitch to allow extreme jumps, saving time from normal platforming or creating otherwise impossible routes to beat the stages in unintended ways.

We recommend reading the author’s comments of this movie ― there is a lot of it.

For those of you who enjoy listening to the music, the background music in this one is quite good, and the sound quality is much better than previous Megaman games for the system.

The movie this obsoletes was the first published Gameboy movie on this site. Remarkably, 4 years later, this improves it by only 74 frames, which is less than 2 seconds. Interestingly, this movie racks up exactly the same number of points as the original, the author making up for some new routes that didn't give as many as the previous.

This run works on both the Japanese and USA/Europe versions.

This is a 1 minute 14 second improvement over the author's previous attempt. Details on improvements can be found in the author's submission text.

Selected quote from author: Introduction: Tom and Jerry is a kid’s cartoon where the mouse generally triumphs, with the cat being ignominiously defeated. The video game is a side scroller, with a lot of up-and-down motion as well. Jerry can take 4 hits before dying – the fifth kills him.

This movie requires VBA rerecording v20.

In this movie, Primorial#soup starts, as usual, as a teenager boy in Kanto with a level 5 starter Pokémon, and through vigorously fighting, intermittently doing actions that apparently make no sense (such as bicycling in circles), beats all eight seven gym leaders, earning himself their badges, and the right to challenge the world champion in Pokémon battles ― and he wins, of course ― 23 minutes faster than in the previous movie.

It is recommended to read the author's comments as well as the discussion relating to the movie to fully enjoy it.

This run abuses a bug that was fixed in later releases of Pocket Monsters (Pokémon) that allows a player to warp freely though the world. Victory is achieved in a matter of minutes with this route. Normally, the game takes well over an hour at the fastest to finish.

This movie requires VBA rerecording v20. The bug does not work on earlier versions.
