This run takes everything you know about Sonic and Knuckles and turns it upside-down. It extensively uses the "scroll objects offscreen to pass through them" trick to zip and warp to places that shouldn't be reached, break bosses, and effectively skip entire stages.

It is worth noting that Nitsuja and Upthorn did not directly participate in the creation of this movie; instead, marzojr incorporated newly discovered tricks in several stages and spliced them in for a total improvement of 46 seconds.

This is an improvement of about 37 seconds over the authors' previous effort; nearly 30 seconds of which come from a complete overhaul (and mutilation) of the Wood Man stage.

See Rockman Tricks and the submission message for in-depth explanation and answers to various questions regarding this movie.

This movie beats the previous SMW movie by an incredible four and a half seconds. Much of the improvement is due to abuse of a new glitch; the balance is caused by better lag management.

As with many other runs on this site, the goal of pure speed has resulted in the complete breaking of the game. Very little of the game's normal play remains. If you'd like to see more of what Super Mario 64 offers, see the 120 star run.

This movie is approximately a 5 second improvement to the previous movie due to a series of improvements discovered by the authors, detailed in the submission message.

Alternatively, you can view a more optimised version of the previous type of any% TAS, the 16-stars run, here, played by Swordless Link. The run is 41 seconds faster than the last published 16-star movie.

This 96 frame improvement over the previous movie features a completely new route through Bowser's Palace, even more off-screen auto-scroller action and other technical improvements detailed in the authors' comments. Finally, Lord Tom and Mitjitsu are proud to announce that the new run once again acquires 99+ lives magnificently.

But all that only made the awaited result sweeter, as this first complete all-souls TAS beats the game on Hard mode in less than half an hour without even using glitch warps.

However, if you would like to see the game beaten to a pulp in a mere quarter of this time, don't miss the glitched TAS by klmz.

Note: while the movie doesn't use the glitch warps (neither by death nor by getting out-of-bounds using transform souls), it does use the normal warp rooms present in the castle. Starting from reset was necessary to take advantage of using Hard mode; it is normally not allowed — refer to the rules to see our reasons.

Through a wide variety of glitches and general optimisations, this is now almost ten minutes faster than the previous full run of this game.

This run does not make use of a form of warp glitching, but still demonstrates that they obviously didn't fix as many bugs as they thought.

The video file was replaced shortly after publication due to an oversight on the encoder's part. Please redownload the file if it has a file size greater than 100MB.

Both this run and the short version use a wobbling trick in order to make Link walk a bit faster. The execution of this maneuver requires the usage of a controller that allows the player to press Up+Down simultaneously (such as, in this case, a modified Snes9x's controller). The traveling-through-walls trick that is seen in the short version is not used.

This run features an improvement of a little over 4 minutes.

Using a new route and taking advantage of several techniques, never demonstrated before in other Super Metroid runs outside of waiting areas, they made short work of Mother Brain and her space pirates. The in-game completion time is 23 minutes 29 seconds, and 18% of the items have been collected. Thus, both the realtime and the in-game any% movies were obsoleted.

Note: The actual rerecord count in this run is unknown. Please read the authors' submission notes and the discussion thread for more information.

This run abuses a lot of bugs with regard to motion and collision detection. Read the authors' submission to learn more.

This run improves the previous one by more than 5 minutes thanks to new tricks, new glitches, and greater precision.

This is an improvement of 2142 frames, or just under 36 seconds, over Dragonfangs's previous movie. The improvements come mainly from greater optimization in movement and better ammo management. Unlike the previous author, Cpadolf aimed for lowest real time, finishing the game in 42:07 on the in-game timer.

The plot follows a green toy on a quest to rescue a little girl from the clutch of other toys who were rightfully upset at her forsaking them in favor of our protagonist. What these other toys can't do, however, is conjure stars to use them both as projectiles and very effective transportation devices!

This joint venture between Aglar and Hotarubi improves the previous movie by nearly a whole minute thanks to a lot of new and better used tricks and shortcuts.

This movie doesn't collect the special items required to access the 7th level, and thus gets a bad ending. But we have the best-ending run just for your viewing pleasure as well!

Times for each track are:

• 0 = 36.19 (0.35 improved)
• 1 = 37.84 (0.40 -"-)
• 2 = 38.67 (0.19 -"-)
• 3 = 41.96 (0.02 -"-)
• 4 = 41.00 (0.02 -"-)
• 5 = 31.34 (0.40 -"-)

Main improvements come from taking ramps faster and a unique trick in which the author goes slower to get a better time. Look for further info in the author's comments.

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 yet, the answers given... are not exactly what you'd expect.

This TAS is about 13.6 seconds faster than the previous version by the coauthor of this movie, Morrison.

In this joint effort by Phil and Morrison, thorough optimizations are carried out at all levels of magnitude in order to get the maximum completion speed as well as lots of score points in the process.

Joe Osugi, bizarre 'anti-terrorist ninja', is called in to assist the local police, who seem to be completely useless in rescuing some hostages.

The game is basically a series of rooms connected together. Your job is to rescue the hostages and then escape the stage through the red door. You have in your arsenal a three-level shuriken, a sword, and a grappling hook similar to the one from Bionic Commando. Joe also has two special abilities: to make himself invincible and to attack all enemies on screen.

This new version by Cardboard is 1 minutes and 31 seconds faster than the previous one by Nitsuja, containing even more ropeswinging acrobatics and ninja madness.

This is probably one of the best illustrations on how to create art out of a simplistic and otherwise uninteresting game to watch.

What is also different about this movie is an extra warp which significantly shortens the game, and the use of a new tool (input macro) as described in the submission text. Bots were occasionally used to generate pseudorandom input while still avoiding death.

In this superplay, watch in awe as a team is forced to score on its own goal ("OH NO! OWN GOAL!?"), the scoreboard mysteriously records extra goals that were never scored (and even rolls backwards at one point), and the very laws of physics themselves seem to get completely broken.

This time around, Wily has his own creation turned against him, allowing you to play as Megaman or a bad guy!

This run uses only Rockman, however, and collects all 100 CDs, which is not intended to be possible using only one character. Then again, many things happen that were not intended to be possible.

There is also another run by FractalFusion, which uses Forte and does not collect all the CDs.

A password is used to skip to the final round at Super Hard difficulty with fully upgraded Engine and Shot parts.

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.

As Bisqwit puts it: Who needs strategy when you can just blast yourself through the wafers of the universe?

Reading the author's comments is a requirement if you want so much as a clue to what's going on.

This movie is 3 minutes longer than the previous one due to playing on hardest difficulty and using both Gunstars at the same time. See the author's comments for more details.

The AVI for this movie is also slightly larger than usual — this is due to an amount of colors and on-screen motion even the best codecs have problems coping with.

Follow Dracula's son Alucard and see how he glitches through the castle on a quest to end his father's life.

Arukado uses major route changes to improve the old movie by 1 minute and 18 seconds.

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.

The author takes advantage of this and the shape-shifting character Shang Tsung to give us 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 is Phil's first contribution to Bionic Commando, which is an improvement of >12 seconds over the previous run, in which he proves he is indeed a cat burglar.

For more swinging goodness, also check out Bionic Commando for the Game Boy.

This movie is essentially constructed by taking one controller and wiring it into two SNES emulators at once. The same input is used to play both games to completion. In other words, the player plays two games simultaneously with one controller.

Note: There is a visual anomaly during the battle with Serges in X 2. This is an emulator bug relating to the Cx4 chip used in the Mega Man X 2 cartridge.

If you like this movie, be sure to check out the movie that even beats four games with one controller!
