| A Boy and His Blob: Trouble on Blobolonia (1989) is a popular, whimsical game in which a shapeshifting blob (named Blobert) from the planet Blobolonia teams up with an Earth boy to overcome obstacles on both planets and to defeat Blobolonia's evil emperor. This movie is ~11 seconds faster than the previous version by the same author, due to better control of the boy's acceleration. | ||

| This extremely difficult game is about Gomez Addams, who must rescue his wife and other family members from evil kidnappers. In addition to this, he has to collect one million dollars to be able to get through the security door in the basement. The game is very badly programmed and you have to avoid objects by afar to avoid getting hit. This is a 43 second improvement over the previous 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. This is a 56 second improvement over the previous movie by Phil. | ||

| The goal in the game is to collect all hearts in every stage, and when that is done, get the ball in the chest to open the door to the next room. Although Lolo is a puzzle game, it is surprisingly nontrivial for speedrunning, as proven by the fact that this is the author's ninth version. This one is about 2 seconds faster than the previous due to various optimizations. You can read the full list in the submission message. | ||

| Adventures of Lolo 2 is the second game in the popular Lolo-series. This run aims to beat every room as fast as possible, often by strategies the game developers had not intended, including glitch abuse. In addition to Hanzou, strategies were developed by many players, such as Bag of Magic Food, CtrlAltDestroy, Deign, Nitrodon, and Randil. This update beats the previous submission by 39.13 seconds. | ||

| Amagon is an anti-heroic marine who has been sent to explore an island in the South Pacific. You wouldn't know he's a marine, since he doesn't wear a marine uniform, or long pants, or much of anything when he transforms into a giant strong man twice his size. Amagon's goals appear to be to (1) slaughter the majority of the wildlife on the island, (2) cover up the existence of dinosaurs and aliens by massacring them, and (3) flee the scene on a rescue boat. Tailz's second version, about 40 seconds faster than his first. | ||

| This run exploits a programming error that allows the author to start playing from level 23. If you notice that there's nothing meaningful going on in the first minute of the movie, this is normal: the actual gameplay takes place only after triggering the "game over" screen. See the author's comments for more information on this glitch. This improves the author's previous movie by about 5 seconds. | ||

| Arkanoid (1987) strongly resembles the arcade game Breakout (1976). In Arkanoid, the paddle is actually a spaceship, and the bricks are space walls. The goal of the game is to break through the space walls and defeat the villainous Doh in order to escape from the space labyrinth. This incredible TAS of Arkanoid, made by Baxter, inspires awe in a manner comparable to the Gradius movie. No ball is ever lost, even though three balls are juggled in every level where possible. | ||

| Astyanax (1990) is the story of a studly 16-year-old boy named Astyanax who is summoned to the world of Remlia in order to save the enchantress Princess Rosebud from the evil wizard Blackhorn, who wants to rule the world. Astyanax is a somewhat clumsy game. For one, Astyanax is twice as big as he appears, and so he is easily hit unless one plays carefully. The controls are also very bad. The sum of these factors is that it's a difficult game to play, but that's part of what makes this movie interesting—especially for those who have played this game. This run is Walker Boh's second attempt at this game. It is more than 3 minutes faster than the first attempt. | ||

| Atlantis no Nazo is a game where an explorer is trying to save his friend and must find his way through a maze of rooms. In this case, levels. This is an improvement of only 6 frames (0.1 seconds) over the previous version by the same author. It's an optimized version of the fast walkthrough of the game originally devised by Morimoto. | ||

| The hero of Gotham City goes against the villain of Gotham City. His fists are more powerful than any weapon in the world, but he rarely kills anyone. It's not like his enemies can hurt him anyway.

| Batman: Return of the Joker (1991) is the sequel to the first Batman game for the NES. Being one of the later NES titles, it shows surprisingly good and fluid visuals, fullsize art, and decent sound — all without slowdown issues! The gameplay has undergone some changes compared to its predecessor. A welcome addition to it is a slide movement, similar to the one in the Mega Man series. A not-so-welcome addition is that half the stages are autoscrolling, and there are no close combat weapons now. | ||

The Battle of Olympus (オリュンポスの戦い) is set in ancient Greece.
A mortal man named Orpheus receives help from the gods and nymphs in
his quest to save his lover Helene from Hades. People often compare
this game with Zelda 2 because of its similar gameplay.
This movie is 9:11 faster than Arc's version, mostly
because of the utilization of a gameplay-altering glitch: pressing
Left+Right simultaneously in order to make Orpheus move with almost
unlimited velocity growth. The trick is documented at Battle of Olympus Tricks.
The route used in this movie is decided by a few things the hero (Orpheus) must do:

| Bugs bugs bugs bugs, Bugs bugs bugs bugs, LOVELY BUGS, WONDERFUL BUGS! This run has two players and does not use warps. As always, a bug on level 11 prevents player 2 from moving, so he gets a gameover for that level. Player 1 plays level 11 alone and player 2 comes back for level 12. This is a bug in Battletoads itself. | ||

| 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... | ||

| Bionic Commando is a platform game with a hero who can't jump, but can quickly latch onto objects with his bionic arm. The TAS looks very impressive with its inhumanly fast grappling and swinging.

| Boulder Dash is a well known action-puzzle game where you must collect a quota of diamonds and reach the exit. This version improves upon the previous one by 25 seconds! Normally, standing under any falling object or just getting close to an enemy means instant death, but in this movie the player fearlessly dives through heaps of falling objects and walks past enemies without a scratch. It's quite pleasureable to watch if you have ever sat screaming at this game for getting stuck or killed repeatedly. This playthrough uses a password to skip to level 19-1, which begins the hardest set of levels. The amoeba levels have long unavoidable waits, it is advised to fast-forward through these. | ||

This movie features one player controlling two characters simultaneously. Despite the movie's being so long, it's nearly the fastest possible warpless time through Bubble Bobble. There are 113 levels, and each level ends with 10.75 seconds of unskippable time. | ||

| A rare instance of a Japanese-made NES game based on a U.S.-originated comic book, Bucky O'Hare (1992) provides a player with a good combination of platforming action similar to Mega Man, an interesting plot, and convincing production values. You can play as one of the five unique characters, which you are able to select freely at any time, after saving them from the clutches of the Toad Empire. Each character has special abilities required to take advantage of in order to pass through the game's numerous variably designed stages, ranging from one-screen puzzle rooms to autoscrolling shmups. Interesting fact about this game is that Konami used to implement an unconventional way of piracy protection, in this particular case by making each hit or "wrong" collision in the game result in an instant death if you play it illegitimately. Apparently, this was how a large amount of people were used to play it in pre-emulation era, without even realizing Konami's little sabotage. This movie by AnS is set up in a fashion that imitates this known handicap by playing the game in hard mode (accessing it through a password), where every hit counts as death. Other than that, it also improves the previous movie by 2 minutes 48.7 seconds, using several major glitches and a lot of small tricks explained in great detail in the author's comments. | ||

| In this game, the hero—Duke Geraden—travels to Darklarza Castle in order to rescue Princess Amoreena from the Dragon Master. Castle of Dragon has all the elements of a bad game: it's clumsy, it looks and sounds horrible, and it has been made almost impossible to beat by implementing a lot of random factors into it. Keeping these things in mind... Josh's movie is not far from perfect, but it will probably impress only hardcore fans of the game who know how hard it is to beat this game. | ||

| Castlevania II: Simon's Quest is the story of Simon Belmont's horrible weekend
without sleep. Two years after defeating Dracula, Simon is physically
weakened by Dracula's curse. Simon must gather Dracula's remains and
incinerate them at the ruins of Castlevania in order to end the curse.
The timeunit count for this movie is 03:01:08, which is 9 "minutes" better than the previous version by Walker Boh. The actual movie is 27.35 seconds faster because of significant improvements in two mansions. It also abuses the falling-through-floor glitch, which is insanely difficult to perform. There are several items that are required for the completion of the game, and you can't buy them without killing a certain amount of monsters; thus, this movie has some running back and forth in order to collect hearts. There's also the factor that shops are open only at daytime and monsters are twice as evil at nighttime... Hence, there is some necessary waits that may appear as sloppy, but are not. | ||

| Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse (originally known as 悪魔城伝説 or Akumajō Densetsu, meaning "Legend of the Demon Castle") is the story of Trevor Belmont's battle against Dracula from the times before Simon's battle in Castlevania. In this complex and difficult game, there are three playable allies whom Trevor can recruit: Alucard (Dracula's son), Grant DaNasty (a pirate captain), and Sypha Belnades (a mystic warlord). This game has a technically high-quality soundtrack because it uses a VRC6 sound chip that works in the Japanese Famicom but not in the NES. Thus, the movie was made with the Japanese version of the game instead of the USA version. This movie takes the path that recruits Sypha. There's also a Grant path movie and an Alucard path movie. | ||

| Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse (originally known as 悪魔城伝説 or Akumajō Densetsu, meaning "Legend of the Demon Castle") is the story of Trevor Belmont's battle against Dracula from the times before Simon's battle in Castlevania. In this complex and difficult game, there are three playable allies whom Trevor can recruit: Alucard (Dracula's son), Grant DaNasty (a pirate captain), and Sypha Belnades (a mystic warlord).

A game based on the show Samurai Pizza Cats. Five characters are available, but one (Batcat) is used extensively because his ability of flight leads to many shortcuts.
This game has a glitch enabling one-frame boss fights. To quote the author: If the team leader executes a level three ninpo attack on the first frame of combat, the boss is dead. Right there, dead, even the ones that don't show up immediately. As pulling this off requires your weapon to be maxed out, this saves anywhere from a great deal of time (first level) to a little bit (last level).This movie was recorded with a bad ROM dump (b1); see the author's submission notes for more information regarding this. | ||

| Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers 2 is quite an improvement over the original Chip 'n Dale in terms of graphics and a whole lot of other things. Thankfully, the original game's solid controls haven't been changed. The plot of this game is that Fat Cat has stolen the Pharaoh's Urn and wants to use its power (for evil purposes, of course). This is a 18.55 second improvement over the previous movie. | ||

In this ridiculously easy and straightforward game, the Rangers look for their neighbor's kitty and end up fighting against their old nemesis, Fat Cat. Genisto shaves another 4 seconds off of this single-player movie by using some new techniques that involve zipping through certain objects. | ||

| Circus Charlie is a simple game that most people probably know from pirate multigame carts. The first stages are easy for anyone even on real NES, but stage 3 is already quite challenging. This movie plays "1 player game A" (easy). Ironically, this is MORE challenging for tool-assisted gameplay. Stage times: 3410, 3560, 3750, 3890, 4270. Yet another "perfect" movie beaten.

| Clash at Demonhead is a complex game to say the least. There are over 40 levels in the game, and they are all connected to each other. In the network of levels the player must find 6 medallions and then rescue the kidnapped professor. This is no simple task. To make things even harder for a (tool-assisted) speedrunner, there are items available that greatly increase the player's speed, but in return cost money. This means that the route and strategy must be carefully planned. This movie certainly does not lack speed or complexity. The movie is especially entertaining if you have played the game and know how hard it is. | ||

| This unusual boat game includes racing to the finish, preventing swimmers from being abducted, disposing bombs, killing sea monsters and shooting targets. 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. | ||

| Contra completed fast with one distinct goal: do not kill, unless absolutely necessary to complete the game. This movie is 46.95 seconds faster than the preceding version due to better boss fights, a jumping glitch in lv 3, and the use of the spread gun. The ROM change counts for about 27 seconds of the improvement. Also, the author better achieves the pacifist goal by not killing the level 5 tanks costing about 9 seconds. | ||

| Darkwing Duck (1992) is a platformer somewhat similar to Mega Man in gameplay and difficulty. The arrow gun allows the player to climb up walls and use creative shortcuts so that the absolute shortest route can be taken. In case you are wondering why the character keeps on jumping so much, it is because he has to wait a short amount of time before being able to walk. With constant jumping these stops can be avoided. This movie is a joint venture between AnS and Randil to improve the previous Darkwing Duck run by Walker Boh, resulting in 35.7 seconds saved through means of extensive optimization, luck manipulation and lag removal. We recommend reading the authors' comments for more details. | ||

| Deadly Towers is an annoying enough game to play, let alone make a TAS of, but the author manages a final time almost 3.5 minutes faster than the previous version.

It features a hero named Victar, who can easily jump on a tall tree (and sometimes over it, since he can't jump much lower) and is willing to defeat the evil demon that conquered the world. The key to defeating him is Victar's sword, which is conveniently broken into pieces that must be collected over the span of the game.

Select comments from the author:Destiny of an Emperor was Capcom’s first RPG, released in 1989―90, and is based on Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The battling style of this game can be described like Final Fantasy meets Pokémon; your team of warriors versus the opposing team of warriors, and any opponents freed from their posts can be later picked up in the wilds and converted to your side!We recommend reading the rest of the author’s comments; it helps understanding the movie better. In Bisqwit's opinion, the soundtrack of this game has a lot in common with Duck Tales. | ||

| A very important part of Nintendo's history is being presented here in the manner of our website — as a tool-assisted speedrun. Donkey Kong Jr. (read Wikipedia article), among with Donkey Kong, were classic games that were played by millions of players on different consoles, including NES, Atari 2600 and Game and Watch. Although one would not expect a movie of Donkey Kong Jr. to be interesting to watch, except in the retro sense, this movie is actually quite surprising. The vines are cleverly utilized to move the hero forward faster than any member of the Kong family before or after this game. This is a 6 frame optimization of level 4 compared to the previous movie by the same authors. The rest of the levels are copied without changes. | ||

| Dragon Fighter is a cross-over between a platformer and a shooter. It starts out in platform mode, where you can collect dragon points. When you have enough, you can transform into a powerful dragon, turning the game into a autoscrolling shooter. The game scrolls slowly in this mode, but the dragon moves fast. By continuously switching between the two modes, it allows the player to go as fast as possible, which makes an otherwise boring game interesting. | ||

| This is a non-glitched run of Dragon Warrior 3, now under 2 hours long. This game is known in the TAS world as being a pain to play due to the RNG (random number generator) being much harder to manipulate than most other games. As a result, seemingly random actions throughout the game are actually intentional manipulation of the RNG to ensure favourable outcomes, such as avoiding monsters or good battle outcomes. To give you an idea of how surprising this time is to most players, the previous run is about 24 minutes longer than this one. Even before that, any run that was under 3 hours long was deemed to be very difficult to perform. | ||

| Dragon Warrior 4 is a very long RPG. During the planning phase, it was expected that this movie would be 5 hours long. Suffice to say the result was a pleasant surprise. The author intentionally kills off his party in order to save some travel time. | ||

| Duck Tales is a classic game in which Scrooge has to collect treasures from all over the world. Some of the levels are not completely straightforward, and collecting items is sometimes necessary before proceeding. His cane also doubles as an almighty pogo stick that can be used in various ways, which makes jumping a lot more fun. This is the fourth TAS of Duck Tales. This time, due to a bug in the Moon level found by HHS, it is almost a minute shorter! Other minor tricks here and there contributed an additional few seconds of improvement. | ||

| Eggerland is a predecessor of the NES Adventures of Lolo games, and in certain ways,
it has much more features than Adventures of Lolo 1. The author has explained the
game (and the movie) very well, so we recommend reading his comments. This movie abuses a couple of the game bugs in a surprising way. Note that this is a Famicom Disk System game. Read What is FDS for more information. | ||
