We recommend reading the author's comments for explanations on the actions taken in the movie.

However, the author uses a nice glitch to skip directly to the final area; skipping 4/5ths of the game and completing it in less than 4 minutes.

Unlike the last version of this movie, Jasmine wasn't happy with just being rescued by Aladdin; she made him spend a little time picking up some jewelry for her on the way. This movie aims to complete the game with all the red gems collected, which results in a slightly higher time than the previous movie, but adds quite a bit to the entertainment value of the run. The core trick of this TAS is to abuse the parachute extensively to move faster than normal walking or jumping.

This platformer of their namesake captures their personality well, with some comical and colorful animations. The author adds in his own techniques of walking on air and creating small scenes within the game while playing, especially during boss fights.

This game has a built in roulette, which is manipulated to always give the best result, especially invincibility when needed for tougher bosses.

Sonic the Hedgehog? No, Ardy Lightfoot.

Abusing the game's awkward hit detection and pulling off normally suicidal strategies that require frame perfect precision, the author blitzes through this cinematic and visually appealing game.

Played on the PAL (Europe) version of the game.

No damage is taken except due to a bug in the game where health is lost after the clock runs out due to time being converted into points.

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

Janus, the author, has completed the longest TAS to date, clocking in a little under 5 hours. Set aside an afternoon.

At first glance it may seem odd that, although the game is two player, only one player is used, and that's Player 2. Player 2 was chosen because her aerial attack gives an enormous speed boost. It is also one of the few attacks in video games that operates on frame precision, so smashing out a 30Hz rapid-fire on the controller will lay the beatdown pretty quickly.

That, combined with the fact that half the enemies in this game are of the standard "walk around and shoot" variety, allow the heroine to zip through the game with total reckless abandon. Few games allow a TASer to do that, so this is a rare opportunity indeed.

The game is eerily similar to Megaman 7 and Megaman X. It even has pick-throwing miners.

This is a 24 second improvement over the previous movie by the use of some new tricks. These are explained in the author's comments.

Bubsy can run very fast, but unfortunately he almost never gets a chance to, because there are obstacles everywhere. Unlike most bobcats, Bubsy can die by touching anything remotely dangerous, like eggs or water. Also unlike regular bobcats, he can glide through the air, has a t-shirt with an exclamation mark, and a smile you'll just be dying to wipe off his face.

This is a 75 second improvement over acmlm's movie.

Unfortunately, in this SNES port Richter isn't too much of a fast walker - unlike his father and the later Belmont clan descendants - so his fastest way of moving is constant backflipping (so don't get surprised with the author's choice of traveling method).

This movie is a 165 second improvement to the previous version by Dan and Nightcom; such a large gain is achieved thanks to greatly increased precision and other new tricks explained in the author's comments.

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.

Apparently not happy with an already amazing movie, Cpadolf felt the need to go on yet another black op, optimizing his distortions of space and time on the way to a 173 frame improvement.

This movie uses a 'warping' glitch to complete the game. There is also the 2-player version which does not.

A very colourful movie, with the author playing both characters at the same time (which is far from trivial to do).

This version improves the previous run by approximately 12 seconds.

The run uses 008 (Pyunma) and 005 (Geronimo) most of the time. 008 can jump forward quickly and swim in water, while 005 does heavy damage to bosses. Various power-ups are collected to level-up 009 (Joe) due to an event near the end of the game.

The run uses the easiest difficulty due to the final boss taking less time to beat.

If you play this game, it is recommended to level-up 009 first, and a lot.

Using this game's interesting recoil and jet pack physics, Gunty flies through each of the stages at a very fast pace.

Demon's Crest is notorious for some very difficult bosses. In this run, the author abuses boss weaknesses to the extreme by carefully switching Gargoyle forms as necessary. In addition, heavy luck manipulation was used during several encounters to make the otherwise troublesome boss fights look easier than a play through of Barney's Hide and Seek.

Many new tricks have been found to make this movie faster, some of which are only subtle adjustments that may not be easy to notice. Read the author's comments at the submission page for more information.

The author of this run discovered several new time-saving techniques. Some of them are small enough to go unnoticed, and others are jawdroppingly huge. The total improvement over the previous run is 54 seconds.

The in-game time of this run is about 38 minutes 56 seconds. (This was manually checked using a hex editor)

For a detailed analysis of new techniques as well as comments about individual levels, read the author's comments at the submission page.

This is a huge improvement over the previous movie (5 minutes and 6.33 seconds to be exact) thanks to greatly increased precision and a multitude of new tricks, all of which are explained in detail in the author's lengthy comments. The author claims this movie took him a year to produce.

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

Note: This movie was recorded with a slightly modified snes9x. A soft reset was added to the movie file. Any recent 1.43 SNES9X build that features record reset should work.

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

It improves the previous run by a little more than 4 minutes.

A LUA Subtitle script is available in the forums thread for those who are unfamiliar with the game.

We recommend reading the authors notes. They are rather voluminous and contain a great deal of good information.

It is best described as "random", in a good way. The game has a great emphasis on a humor, and indeed many things in the game are almost caricatured, from subplots to characters. It also has a versatile soundtrack.

Our description for the previous movie stated, "Although this being a speedrun (tool-assisted at that), most of the plot of the game is intact...". This time around, not so much. Thanks to some collision detection bugs, including one that shows that the Skip Sandwich is a fitting name for the item in ways the developers never intended, the author is able to move around the game's areas freely, completing the bare minimum number of tasks needed to keep the final battle from locking up.

Also unlike the previous movie, this one does use a death as a shortcut. However, the teddy bear survives this time around.

Heisanevilgenius's family, The As, ignores all that and goes with elaborate and utter nonsense instead… only to find the host accepting their answers as correct. The other family, The Halls, doesn't even get the chance to insert a word, proving the racial prejudice of the host. Watch the game and see for yourself.

Note: some answers contain coarse language.

This is the third TAS movie of this game, now 8 minutes faster than the previous run by the same author.

We recommend reading the author's comments for information about this run.

This movie plays through the game in a mere 2 hours, 53 minutes and 14 seconds. It aims for real time, but has a secondary goal of lowest in-game time when that does not incur an expense in real time. The in-game completion time is 1:59:28.

The author also included many easter eggs, or surprise occurrences, throughout the movie. These have been detailed in the author's comments. We recommend reading the comments regarding this movie.

Note: This movie resets the game console a few times, first saving the game and then loading it, so to watch it on an emulator, you will need an emulator that supports recording the console resets.

This movie was made with the original English-language version. It was also encoded with the Action Replay code 0495DCFF, which keeps the music volume from decreasing while the game is paused. This greatly reduces the annoyance factor of constant pausing during battles, which is done to save time.

This movie plays through the game in three and a half hours. We recommend reading the author’s comments regarding this movie to understand the manipulation used.

The boss battles, including the last boss, might be somewhat anticlimactic in this movie due to the use of a one-hit-kill spell (L5 Doom) which was made to work by varying means in each battle.

Note: Because this game was never released in the USA and our rules regarding fan translations are a bit strict, all text in this movie is in Japanese. However, we may release English subtitles for this movie soon.

This movie plays through the game in little over 4 hours by the means of advanced analysis of the game engine, and the abuse of certain game errors/features that give the ability to one-hit-knock-out even the strongest enemies ― most prominently (but not only) the Joker Doom lore from Setzer’s slot machine.

A glitch involving Relm’s sketch ability was not used in this run. It is highly questionable whether or not this glitch can actually be used to save time. Also the glitch cannot be performed on this version of the ROM.

The boss battles, including the last boss, might be somewhat anticlimactic in this movie due to the unusual attack technique, but besides being a very nice timeattack/TAS record, the movie is a nice trip down the memory lane for those who have played this game, and a graphically and especially musically pleasing experience for even those who haven't. This movie was made with the English-language version.

We recommend reading the author’s comments regarding this movie.

Paraphrased from the author's submission:

This run uses tools - Sledgehammers, which I get from the barrels. THAT'S a real tool-assisted run!

(I know it's a bad joke but I couldn't resist it :P)

The author thoroughly abuses the 2-player option to glide through the game with ease. This movie contains some of the most accurate robot boxing currently available.

In this movie the authors control two characters (Goofy and Max) simultaneously. This allows for a good deal of team work as one character can go get an item while the other heads for the exit. When there is no multi-tasking to do, the authors do a good job performing antics with one or both of the characters.

This is a nearly 4 minute improvement over Frenom's previous movie. Improvements come from new tricks, better teamwork, luck manipulation and optimized movements.

This is Cpadolf's take at the shmupping carnage, resulting in a significant improvement in both speed and style over the previous movie by Krocketneo. In total, 2 minutes 53 seconds are saved thanks to lag reduction and faster boss fights. The author also kills a greater percentage of enemies (still not fully 100%, though — read the comments for more details).

The game is completed in Arcade mode (still a far cry from the actual arcade game), which is accessed by tapping A on the main menu screen. It is strongly recommended to read the congratulatory text appearing after the end credits. ;)

This run by Tiger- and Heisanevilgenius completes Hagane in 14:11.27. It is much shorter than its predecessor because of a new glitch that allows our hero to be forced into the wall while using the grappling hook.

The movie has just enough action to make it entertaining. Thankfully, there are many parts in the game where the player is forced to fly using fairy dust. The flying breaks up the normal pace of the game nicely.

This is a 45 second improvement over the previous movie. The author left detailed comments on the various improvements.

Note: This movie is three minutes longer than the previous one, because this plays the secret "Gem Mansion" which the previous version did not. Nevertheless, it is much more optimized than the previous version.

The author abuses Inpector Gadget's gadgets to do things clearly not intended by the game designers. Whether floating through stages or grappling with his head-hand, large sections are skipped and bosses dispatched expeditiously.

This is an anime style platformer game.

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!

This run aims for best score, then fastest time. A lot of hole-in-ones are scored, even at great time expense.

Note that there is a second series of courses which are similar to the original set. These are played as well for sport, before attacking the final boss and winning.

The author controls both players when applicable rather than letting the CPU operate the helper.

For those interested, the obsoleted movie uses only one controller. This accounts for the large time difference between the two movies.

It is up to Nasir, Hero of Light, to save Lakeland from Zerah. Zerah is attempting to release the Evil Sprit and pollute all the water. This game is difficult due to the length of Nasir's sword.

We recommend reading the author's comments.

This run improves on the previous run using new tricks and glitches such as the scroll abuse glitch, which saves a large amount of time.

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.

Now another 17 frames faster than the preceding version.

This TAS, played by Lord Tom, completes the game on the Mayhem difficulty level. We recommend reading the author's level-by-level comments which explain some of the strategies used in the levels.

The category "takes damage to save time" was flagged because some of the lemmings were sacrificed for overall best completion time (in some levels, it is even necessary).

The game sports a large amount of puzzles, yet a shockingly low amount of battles. Using RNG manipulation, this movie illustrates how to avoid many unimportant skirmishes so as to cut down on wasted time. This manipulation is also used to get more favorable item drops throughout the whole run.

Note that the (U) version of this ROM contains some graphical glitches. You can read more about these in the submission text.

This movie is a 27 second improvement of the previous movie.

The constant jumping is necessary to preserve the speed gained from running downhill. Other specifics on the improvement can be found in the submission comments.

This game is about a man named Stanley Ippkiss, who finds a powerful mask known as The Mask. However evil has also become aware of this and kidnaps his girlfriend in order to obtain it.

One of the traits The Mask seems to give Stanley is extreme speed, so naturally, aside from a couple boss fights, the game play is extremely fast throughout the movie.

This is a 3 minute 30 second improvement over the previous movie by the use of a new shortcut in level 1, improved boss fights, and many other optimizations. The author left detailed comments about them.

In addition to that, it stars Donald Duck in the role of Maui Mallard, a detective with an alter ego of a blindfolded ninja called Cold Shadow, on the task of retrieving the lost Shabum Shabum idol on a remote tropical island. And no, the plot doesn't get more sensible from that point on.

FractalFusion takes the game apart with a new route, new strategies, nasty bugs and more optimal movements.

For extra curiosity, there is a page "Mega Man X Tricks" that explains some of the tricks that are and/or can be used in the X series games.

Unlike the later games, collecting the Hadoken is much more time consuming compared to the ability to obliterate the mandatory Reploid rematches and fortress bosses. Nevertheless this run is still faster than the first any% run ever published.

Unlike the other movie, in this, FractalFusion does not collect any of X's upgrades, but does rescue Zero. The bosses near the end are no longer defeated in a single hit, showing off more of their AI.

Due to the items collected, there is an easter egg at the end.

This run improves the previous version by about 23 seconds of game-time. The previous run used the Japanese ROM, and the shorter cutscenes in that version make the improvement less apparent.

This movie aims for the fastest time possible. However, because the shōryūken (flame uppercut) used towards the end of the movie saves so much time, and because to get it the authors must first collect 100% of items such as Heart Tanks, Sub Tanks, and Item Capsules, this movie could be seen as a 100% run. Zero Parts are not required for the shōryūken, and thus they are not collected.

The page Mega Man X Tricks explains some of the tricks that can be used in the X series games.

This run is a whopping 1:36 faster than the last version, both by using some new tricks and playing with more precision.

The page Mega Man X Tricks explains some of the tricks that can be used in the X series games.

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.

DaTel237 skillfully controls Mr. Nutz by making him hop like a jack rabbit on speed, throwing acorns all over the place and avoiding pesky coins whenever possible. A number of tricks and glitches are used, including floor zipping.

This is a 3 minute 22 second improvement over the previous movie by Zurreco. Some of the time comes from taking damage. Other improvements include route changes and improved fighting.

You really have to play the game to know just how hard it is. As an example, if you don't hold up at that very first water scene, a tentacle drags you down to your death. Those leeches are fatal, the beast takes alot of practice to get past, you have to rattle your cage free, the first gun fight is very tough, the steam in the pipes is fatal, you can drown, spikes, teeth, tentacles, leaps of faith, and tons of gunfights. The colleseum scene is a puzzle in itself– you better hit the buttons in the right order, or you'll get caught. And you better make it to that control panel at the end, or the guard will kill you. Just like the Sierra games of old, there were a million ways you could die, and only one way to survive. It was truley a great adventure game like no other. And the best part is, there weren't any box puzzles! How many adventure games can you say that about?

The gymnastic master, the future prince of Persia, defies the odds and beats this game in record time. :)

Interestingly, this game only animates at around 12-20 fps (15 fps by average), contrary to most SNES games, which animate at 60 fps.

This is an improvement of 2855 frames over the previous movie.

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.

Similarly to Mega Man X4, the player has the option to choose one of two characters to play through. In this run, Forte is chosen.

FractalFusion takes apart the game with some glitches that allow Forte to zip around in walls. This run is 5:23 faster than the previous run, mostly due to an item called Counter Attacker (Cost Attack in Mega Man & Bass GBA) that allows more damage to a boss if Forte is low on health. This also explains why Forte takes much damage throughout the run. Read the author's comments for more details.

Note: This movie contains a death. It is intentional, and saves time.

There is another run by parrot14green that collects all CDs using just Rockman.

This is an improvement of approximately 71 seconds of in-game time, some of which comes from bug exploitation.

This version plays on the Japanese version of Rockman 7 whereas the previous version played on the North American version. This change affects times outside of the player's control, but still gets counted towards the movie's length.

This is the author's second submission for this game, 21.5 seconds faster than the first.

This is the first ZMV publication for this site. When playing back in ZSNES, the movie may desync. See submission text for details.

The author has aimed for fastest time with 100% completion.

A note about the ending: normally the full ending would take almost 40 minutes to watch, but 29 minutes worth of waiting have been edited out of the AVI. There is no sound during this segment and the image does not change. A message will appear briefly to indicate when this happens.

These bizarre situations are handled with tool-assisted precision, and finished 73 seconds faster than the author's previous attempt.

Following the game's truly original plot, Sky, a cocky young hero, has to free a princess sorceress kidnapped by an evil deity Ashura. In order to do so, he must traverse a non-linear world, collecting various spells, abilities, and powerups on his way. Helping him is eloquently named Old Man, who teaches young Sky to memorize patterns, just after delivering another insult.

The game has numerous tricks and glitches that allow drastically cutting the time normally spent exploring the game's world, and you bet the author uses them well. See the submission comments for more information.

This movie improves the previous movie by nitsuja by nearly a minute and a half.

In this series, every action in the monster lairs directly affects the non-combat areas, and vice-versa. That being said, much planning was needed for this run.

The ending is very long and requires user input, so the movie's length is about 13 minutes longer than what might be considered "winning the game."

Emulation of this game is not correct. Lag present on the SNES is not represented in this run. Expect the speed to be higher than actually seen on a real console. For this reason, the audio track lags severely behind the rest of the run. As a result, some of the bosses can be defeated before the boss music begins.

Because it was only released in Japan, and the first almost-complete fan translation of the game was finished only a few years ago, this game isn't well known in western countries. Moreover, it has only been supported by SNES emulators for a short time, due to a graphics compression chip used in the game to fit the huge amount of beautiful graphics into the 6 MB ROM chip.

This is a tool-assisted speedrun of the Japanese version (the rules of the TASvideos site forbid the use of fan-translations when making speedruns).

We are sorry for the broken speech in the game intro. This is an emulation glitch. (Yes, the game actually includes English dialogue, which coincidentally has an identical twin in Star Trek.)

For a guide of the strategy used in this run, please read the author's comments.

As usual with RPG runs, we recommend everyone to first play through this game before watching the movie. It will normally take a few days of time to complete the game once ― a few months to uncover all the features: secret characters and abilities and items. Beware, it's fun, and addictive.

If you are having trouble playing the .SMV file correctly without desynchs, check the author's instructions on how to view it at the submission page.

This run displays how quickly the whip can be used, especially during the boss fights.

This movie, about 7 seconds faster than the previous, plays all levels, including the secret world 9, and extremely difficult A through D worlds.

This run is over a minute and a half faster than the previous published run, due to new exploits of the definition of a lap.

A version of Snes9x that supports reset is required to play the SMV movie.

This run improves the previous version by about 2 minutes and 41 seconds due to various little optimizations and changed strategies.

This movie beats the previous SMW movie by 2 seconds with little improvements in each stage. For details, read the author's comments.

See also: SMW 100% completion (96 exits) in 1:21:30 by Fabian

This run aims to complete as many exits as possible without collecting a powerup or visiting any Switch Palaces. Unable to fly, Mario is forced to confront most obstacles and overcome them in unique ways. Riding Yoshi is also banned.

86 out of the total 96 exits are completed.

If you like this video, be sure to also see Super Demo World 100% completion (120 exits) in 2:08:02 by Chef Stef.

We recommend reading the author's comments, because there's a lot more to this movie than meets the eye, even though the movie is very colourful, actionpacked and full with entertaining tricks and maneuvers.
In other words, the very essence we tool-assisted speedrun movie makers enjoy. :)

Technically, the game is very exceptional on SNES due to its use of the SuperFX chip. The chip allows for many cool special effects that are otherwise impossible on SNES.

If you liked this but want even more Yoshi craziness, be sure to check out the warped completion.

The author abuses a glitch that lets him warp to any stage up to 6-8.

This is an improvement of 205 frames over the previous movie. Most of the improvement comes from breaking Yoshi's movement speed limit, as well as improved Bowser fights.

There is also a run without the warp glitch.

This run aims for 100% item collection in the fastest time, and it does so 2 minutes and 34 seconds faster than the previous movie by JXQ, thanks to various new tricks, route changes, and general optimization. The in-game completion time is 36 minutes and 3 seconds.

Super Metroid has a wide variety of time-saving glitches to exploit, many of which are explained on the Super Metroid Tricks page. Be sure to check it, as well as the author's comments, for more information on the improvements.

If you prefer to watch the fastest completion without getting all the items, check out Super Metroid in 39:32 by hero of the day.

With the use of X-Ray Scope to get out of the rooms' bounds, some non-trivial physics abuse, and esoteric RAM data manipulation via dying in a certain room, the amount of tasks Samus usually has to do on Zebes has been cut to almost nothing. No boss is ever fought in this TAS, and even Mother Brain is skipped completely. The in-game completion time is 00:12. Only 6% of the items are collected.

This is an improvement of 1537 real-time frames, or 1379 in-game frames, over the previous glitched any% run. The main improvement comes from a new method of skipping the cutscene with the big metroid, although the author found many other improvements along the way.

If you want to see up-to-date low percentage movies completed without using the out-of-bounds glitch, see these movies:

• Ice Beam route 14% by Saturn in 42:37 (00:27 by the in-game timer);
• Speed Booster route 14% by NameSpoofer in 44:18 (00:29 by the in-game timer).

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.

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 game style has been released under other names such as Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine and Kirby's Avalanche, but the core gameplay is the same.

In a nutshell, the series' plot is about the evil Bydo empire, which is a highly developed alien lifeform with hivemind mentality (Borg, Zerg, etc.). The player pilots a spacecraft on a mission to destroy it. The craft itself has a force — an indestructible (yet living!) orb pod that can be used for both bullet absorption and offensive action. The core gameplay thus boils down to two things: memorization (all R•Type games are very unforgiving, and require the player to learn the paths thoroughly to succeed) and tactical use of the force orb to protect the ship and do high damage to enemies.

The author of this TAS, however, opted for playing around with enemies and killing most of them with the force orb. Don't try this in realtime. (Really, don't.)
Other than that, the movie uses a password to access the second loop's difficulty level ("PRO") without having to beat the game twice. It still doesn't get the good ending, though.

This run is played in two-player mode with the author controlling both characters. It aims for showing off and being entertaining while still being reasonably fast. A code is used to access the highest difficulty level.

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 combo being used 12 times.

This is a 77 second improvement over the previous movie by Pasky13, achieved mostly through optimized movement and weapon usage.

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.

The level of play is far and above what any human could do in real-time on this game.

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

In this version, the scoring system works a bit differently, so instead of doing many combos in a chain as the US version movie does, a few very large combos help reaching the goal about 35 seconds faster, achieving it at 0'29 by ingame time.

There are no other differences between the two versions.

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

In this movie Twisted Eye uses a glitch which practically allows him to fly. For more specifics about the glitch and the movie itself, read author's comments.

Surprisingly, the author started working on this video over 2.5 years before the submission, which makes it one of TASvideos's longest projects to date.

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.

However, due to an inventory corruption glitch, the author decides to take the quick route and skip over almost the entire game. See the author's comments for more information.

The game is very easy to win, but very difficult to play (try it). This video demonstrates one of the fastest paths to the ending, including quite a few almost impossible maneuvers ― whether playing tool-assisted or not.

This video is a 7 seconds improvement to the previous version.

See the Umihara Kawase page for more information about this game, and the author's comments for more information about this movie.

This video plays the longest path of the game having only two bosses, aka. Bob's path, which you can find at the Umihara Kawase Field Map page.

The Umihara Kawase page has more information about this game.

The boss levels are quite long in this movie ― they can't really be sped up, but the author of the movie has done his best to make it worth watching.

No frogs were harmed in the making of this movie.

With handy luck-manipulation, the author multiplies starting player money ($1000) by a hundred in a mere two betting rounds of craps in the limit casino. Then he hits the no limit casino; mutiplying by a hundred again with two betting rounds of craps. The player ends the game with 10 million dollars.

Most of the scenes in this game do not relate to gameplay in any way.

It's like Yoshi's Cookie and Tetris Attack all in one game.

This is nearly a 6 minute improvement over the previous movie due to the use of 2 players, more accuracy, and some nice tricks. The author has also embedded a few subliminal message throughout the movie. Details can be found in the author's comments.

This game stars five of the X-men: Cyclops, Wolverine, Gambit, Beast, and Psylocke. (Professor X is probably coaching them from a safe place, like he always does.) Each member has their own level to complete, but anyone can be chosen to play the remaining levels. The author picks Psylocke for her speed, and finishes out the game with Beast for his power against bosses.

The author collects all heart pieces and other non-respawning items even without actually touching all of them. However, it is pretty sad that the prize T-shirt will never seem to be awarded with, although the "100% heart pieces collected" screen after the credits says so.

The game is not meant to be quite as straightforward as it would seem by watching this movie, as the author takes many shortcuts that require extremely precise jumping. A downside to this game is that the bosses sometimes have long invulnerability periods, meaning that Zero has to wait a bit in-between hits and cannot spam the bosses with 20 hits per second.

This is an improvement of well over one and a half minutes due to better optimizations, new shortcuts and tricks

Walker Boh controls the both characters simultaneously, which should make the hard game even harder. Naturally, luck and glitches are abused in this run.

We recommend reading the author's comments; he wrote quite a detailed article of this movie.
