As can be seen from the movie time, none of this occurs in this TAS. It's just one naked dash to the top and a whole bunch of fortuitous circumstances. Luck manipulation was used on almost every floor to ensure that elevators and helpful traps are strategically located.

Should you decide to play Azure Dreams, this is definitely the wrong way to play the game.

This game has two modes, the main mode and Time Trial mode. Time Trial mode features the car level from the main mode as well as a lot of original levels where a button must be pushed over and over as fast as the player can, aptly nicknamed "button mashers".

Spikestuff runs through Time Trial mode, aiming to get the highest score in each minigame with in-game time as a secondary goal. For more details, see the author's comments.

Here Spikestuff is playing through them quickly while picking up the maximum score of 10 for each. Getting the high score sometimes has odd conditions, like the elephant race where finishing 7-2 is needed for the 10.

For a TAS of a related game, see the Salary Man Champ publication.

Well aware of his fearful power, A uses it until he becomes strong enough to rely on his physical power. After which he manipulates luck to an indecent extent, using frame-by-frame advancing to pulverize his foes, and even the final boss. It may be a little anti-climactic, but it's much quicker this way.

This is currently the second longest published movie, second only to Final Fantasy VIII. You might want to take your morning and your afternoon to watch this.

During the exploring, the player can unlock different abilities for Alucard which make him able to reach new areas. Some of these abilities are used to gain a tremendous speed and glitch through routes which players could not have even dreamed in 1997.

Follow the quest of Richter (playable after you beat the game once) and see how he glitches and speeds through the castle. If you like fast sliding, dashing, uppercutting, and using precipitation to defeat bosses, you'll love this run.

In order to see a "full" run of the game, see the Alucard version.

By using a dirty SRAM and finding other tricks, arukAdo improved the previous movie by a massive 5:03.36. You can read the author's comments to learn more about the other improvements.

A 100% run covering the whole castle is also available. If you prefer the main character to have muscular bare arms, and to pray to the rain gods to defeat bosses, you may enjoy the Richter version.

In the run, the author uses Arrange Mode, as it's more suitable for taking damage to save time (Simon loses less HP when getting hit in Arrange Mode than in Original Mode). Furthermore, a trick allows him to use a subweapon with less attack animation (jumping and whipping twice before attacking with the subweapon).

The author uses luck manipulation to get favorable floor layouts, descending rapidly through the dungeons while still collecting items needed to kill bosses.

This run pauses for a few seconds between tracks to show the final track times.

Note that we do not normally accept runs starting from save states. See the Rules for more information.

The Japanese version of this game is used due to differences in at least one stage causing the Japanese version to be more difficult.

Utilizing zigzag movement and other new tricks, pirohiko improves the previous movie by a staggering 9:09.64, leaving Neo Cortex wondering just what kind of flying bandicoot on a double espresso he set on the loose. For details on the new tricks, differences between the USA and JPN versions, and the strategies used, reading the author's comments is recommended.

A second YouTube stream is available with an informative overlay that the author used while creating the run.

Note for viewers: In order to be sync-stable, a sound plugin with less than perfect sound quality needed to be used, so do not be alarmed if the sound is not flawless. However, using a different plugin was possible for the introduction and the ending. There is also a slight graphical glitch in level 23 where textures are missing, but this is very minor.

Note: There are encodes of higher resolutions in the discussion thread.

The author, Mothrayas, uses Goku's ridiculously powerful crouching close punch move to deplete enemies' lifebars really quickly and defeat all 27 opponents in record time.

This run plays through Quest Mode, using lots of luck manipulation to get very short floor layouts. (As a commenter noted in the discussion thread, the game may be more aptly called "God Bless the RNG".)

This shooting game has something particular compared to its siblings. Not only can the player shoot bullets, but he can also wield a sword and slash through enemies. In fact, the game's title, Einhänder, means "single-handed" in German, referring to the player's sword.

In this movie, sparky takes advantage of a glitch to abuse the weapon's attack to cause more damage. This is only possible in the Japanese version.

A lot of route planning has gone into this run. Reading the author's comments is recommended. The encodes (both the MKVs and on Youtube) also have explanatory subtitles to read along with. The famous Excalibur II quest, which requires the player to get to the end of the game in under 12 hours, is soundly beaten with more than 4 hours and 40 minutes of spare time.

Note: due to an emulation error, some areas have rather loud background sound effects (like Alexandria during Vivi's first appearance).

There are two YouTube streams available for this movie. The first is a four-part playlist offering HD video, and the second is all in one stream in 480p.

This is the first multi-disc publication on the site, and currently is also the longest published run.

There are two YouTube streams available for this movie. The first is a four-part playlist offering HD video, and the second is contained all in one stream in 480p.

CoolKirby uses his TAS powers to make Frogger and Lily hyperactive, so they rescue their babies at their fastest. If you're looking for crazy hopping action, look no further!

Sir Fortesque pulls out his own brand of trickery in order to plow through this game, warping around levels and outwitting fiendish puzzles in order to stop Zarok and his forces.

If you're here for the plot, though, you're missing the point - instead enjoy the impossibly fast action and nifty glitch abuse in this run of the longest presently-TASable game in the main series to date.

Note: The credits are missing due to an emulator glitch. For those who are interested in seeing the credits, check this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8u0vav89bQ4 .

This time X lays back and relaxes while letting Zero go put his moneylightsaber where his mouth is. This leaves Zero to fight off an entire army, as well as Sigma. Zero does such a good job showing how incompetent X is, the series has been transformed for TASVideos to be a Zero series from here on out.

This submission saves 12.53 seconds over the previous publication primarily through precise optimization of boss battles.

X is so excited to be the star for once that he can't stop jumping for joy at the prospect. However, if you still want to get your Zero fix, you can check out the run which doesn't collect all items.

This is the first in the series to allow character choice before each stage. Zero is chosen as often as possible, which leaves X behind gathering dust. The abusable sword physics highlight Zero's superiority, especially when it is used while standing on the ground. Bosses fall very quickly, even when they have 127 health. See Game Resources and the Author's comments for an explanation of how these tricks work.

There is about 5 minutes of action in this run, which consist mostly of flying through levels and a boss rush on the hardest difficulty mode, Xtreme.

This run is 12.90 seconds faster than the previous run.

We also have a run which completes all stages.

Watch it to learn on how to ignore backseat drivers, or find out why swords are superior to guns.

We also have a run which doesn't complete unnecessary stages.

12-20-09: The torrent was replaced with a newer version which fixes some sound issues in the previous encode.

This run uses both X and Zero. Zero's sword physics makes it the ideal boss killer but some bosses have unavoidable invincibility periods, which is why X is sometimes used. The run also obtains a weapon. Zero cannot be obtained right away, but must be obtained by beating a certain boss.

The run uses the hardest difficulty level, Extreme, which would be more appropriately called insane.

This run is an improvement of 19.00 from the previous movie.

For a run that plays through all stages, see [2342] PSX Mega Man X6 (USA) "All Stages" by Rolanmen1 in 39:31.35.

In this run, Rolanmen1 uses additional items and tricks that are not present in the any% or all stages runs, such as X's Blade Armor. Though X still has less screentime than Zero, he is used to his fullest potential in the Gate stages.

This run completes all stages, as opposed to the any% level run. You can see how nasty every level is on Xtreme difficulty. As always, Zero is much better suited to killing bosses than X. Zero also uses powerups which he wouldn't be able to use in an any% run.

Improvements from the previous movie comes from a new trick with X to skip totem poles in Ground Scaravich stage and a route change.

Note: There are encodes of higher resolution in the discussion thread.

In this run, theenglishman abuses walk-through-walls and weapon glitches to save over 26 minutes from his previous run. Reading the submission comments is recommended.

The author here uses a variety of tricks to skip parts of the game, and fly over other parts. Monkeys don't have wings, but that doesn't seem to matter here.

Note: PSXjin performs very poorly emulating this game, and significant sound glitches appear throughout.

In a storyline that is reminiscent of Looking Glass's Thief, the Lin Kuei assassin/thief is sent to steal an important document; this mission proves to be a test from a mysterious character (which turns out to be MK4's Quan Chi) and who charges you upon retrieval of this object to recover an ancient medallion of untold power. However once you retrieve the medallion, Quan Chi reveals that he actually tricked you, and the medallion is the key to awakening the demonic Shinnok (yup, the same baddie from MK4). You must now become a reluctant hero, as you pursue Quan Chi trough hell itself hoping you get to Shinnok before him.

Gameplay wise the game takes the Mortal Kombat familiar 2D fighting environment and turns it into a hybrid fighter/platformer game, where you must travel trough hazardous levels running and jumping around as well as fighting your way against both digitized and polygonal enemies. Sub-Zero's interface is the same as in every MK game, with the addition of a "use" and "turn around" buttons and additions such as an inventory, and a slight RPG twist in which you get exp. for defeating opponents, which translates into new techniques and moves to execute in the game.

Technically speaking this game represents the final evolutionary step in the MK's series 2D engines. New features include zooming, 3D lighting as well as 3D backgrounds and characters, etc.

This run shows the rescue of all 99 of Abe's fellow Mudokons, earning the good ending and unlocking some bonus features to boot. It is also 3:26.66 minutes faster its predecessor. The improvement comes from new tricks, different strategies and fewer mistakes.

If you like this movie, be sure to check the other run of this game by Dooty, in which he rushes to the end of the game without caring about Abe's partners.

This movie is just as odd as the world it features. Abe for no reason decides to play a baseness upon Glukkons and destroy all the labor force they have industriously collected. No matter it is his own mates who die. No concern he will be milled at the end as well. The only thing he has to say about it is "Oops". "Twisted creep".

This is the condensed version of a 100% run, in which only one (required) Mudokon is saved. This movie should be perfect for those who don't care about the well-being of the Mudokon race and just want to see some Oddworld parkour. Naturally, this run gets the bad ending.

This run is an improvement of 15:54.23 minutes over Dooty's previous Any% run! The improvement comes from new tricks, different strategies, fewer mistakes and the skipping of some stages.

The movie is slightly shorter than it should be due to emulation-related speedups during screen transitions. The gameplay itself is at mostly the correct speed.

Watch for the author's careful use of damage boosts and speed management to fly through this game.

Note: PSXjin performs poorly emulating this game, which causes the camera to stutter at many points.

Here we get to watch an adorable skunk bounce on his pogo stick to defeat Badler the wolf and his mice henchmen.

The objective of the minigame is to reach a specified point in a set time limit which can be extended by defeating enemies. Needless to say, the timer never even comes close to running out here.

This run begins from a save state which has the minigame unlocked, which can be generated by replaying the author's run of the full game. This is not normally allowed by the site.

See Jill Valentine escape Raccoon City while hordes of zombie are out to get her.

The Raccoon Police Department's Special Tactics And Rescue Service (S.T.A.R.S.) are assigned to investigate a series of bizarre murders in Raccoon City. Watch the Alpha team's Jill Valentine, as she blazes through a series of zombies while killing only one of them!

While it obsoletes the run of the DS remake, this movie is longer, since the cutscenes are not skippable. However, the gameplay part is done faster.

In this run, only the bare essentials are carried out, and many of the required battles are performed in an incredibly short span of time.

Also check out the run starring Lute, another main quest in the game.

We also have a run as Blue completing another main quest of the game.

This is an improvement over the last run, using two players instead of one.

For a TAS of a related game, see the Bishi Bashi Special publication.

With tool assistance, all of this can be manipulated (to some extent). This run features quite a bit of planning and bonus management, the details of which can be found in the author's comments.

The author has also done a run for the first game in the series.

Similar to Crash Bandicoot, a sound plugin with less-than-perfect sound reproduction (in particular during cutscenes, including the ending cinematic, which are largely silent) is necessary for the run to sync; do not be alarmed if this occurs in your enjoyment of the movie.

lapogne36 helps Spyro complete this task as fast as possible by exploiting glitches to boost his speed. You can learn more about this glitch by reading the author's comments.

The author has also done a run for the next game in the series.

Also, the author takes an intentional death to make Jar Jar Binks disappear at one point in the run. I'm sure everyone has wished they could die and make Jar Jar disappear, at least once.

Once more you must kill the Grandmaster Meio armed only with an insanely badass sword and your ninja skills. A very nice demonstration of what happens when a high-reflex game is given tool assistance.

Only the necessary levels are completed in order to reach the final boss.

Note: There is an emulation bug, which makes the character take damage for no apparent reason.

With its curious 2.5D gameplay and fast pace, just about everyone should find something to enjoy about this run.

The author, Wyster, abused multiple glitches to put his own twist on these memories of Lara.

This time, with PlayStation's superior screen resolution, even more delicious fish can go through your screen at once as the author shoots through the game following the shortest known path.

In this run, Hoandjzj uses fusion to over power the enemies. Using luck manipulation to get better cards and avoid some of the most challenging card of the oppenents. The chances for manipulation are limited and often take the form of attacking first with a weak monster before a monster that could have one-shot the opponent. The first battle can't be won, so it becomes a race to lose quickly.
