The Game Boy series is a little different from the NES series in that there are only four Robot Masters to fight at the start. Those four are borrowed from the NES game of the same number, while four more Robot Masters from the next NES game guard Dr. Wily’s fortress. Game Boy Wily also likes to have a backup fortress in space after his first one is beaten. Another recurring concept in the Game Boy games is a ninth robot boss unique to the game who gives you a new weapon that is usually the only weapon effective against the final boss.

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

This movie is actually a result of competition/co-operation between Baxter, Randil and Hanzou.

As always, a bug on level 11 prevents player 2 from moving, so he gets a game over for that level. Player 1 plays level 11 alone and player 2 comes back for level 12. This is a bug in Battletoads itself.

This movie requires FCEU 0.98.12.

This game is considered to be very difficult to beat.

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.

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.

Walkthroughs for this game estimate a completion time of several hours when playing normally. Here, we see the game completed in only 12 minutes! Usually clues have to be collected to discover the password to the last dungeon, but this is selected at the game's beginning, so the clues are unnecessary in a TAS. There is also some collision detection abuse and lots of luck manipulation.

This updated version takes a better path, manipulates fights more, and abuses luck to get the password with shortest input time.

There is a huge amount of secrets and hidden paths to take in this game. The author recommends the FAQ by melvinwang on GameFAQs, and would like to thank fuwafuwa and TurboC for their help with this video.

Jackie Chan has been played a few times on this site. Three times by Arc, once by Dan and now once by Baxter. Every submission was faster than the preceding one, and this movie is not an exception.

This movie is 27.5 seconds faster than the previous version by Dan, and also takes 100% less hits than the previous version. In other words, no damage was taken.

We recommend reading the author's notes of this movie.

This video uses a password to go directly to the second, harder version of the game. Note that the password shown on screen is not the one actually accepted by the game - the password is entered so fast the graphic function glitches. Another (more useful) glitch is that you can stand on spikes and other sorts of materials which ultra-powerful gigantic mechadroids have a natural weakness against if you jump all the time.

The fireball form used for the first few levels more or less grants invulnerability when used constantly, as well as being a strong offensive weapon. It is not very effective against the sixth boss, so the author switches to a better projectile weapon before that. This switch entails that the rematches against the earlier bosses are slower, but the improvement on the sixth boss makes up for it.

Please note that the AVI has been replaced with an updated MP4, this file provides both size and quality benefits over the former one.

Curiously, the game Rad Racer was made by Square, which is probably best known for its Final Fantasy game series. Quite a different game, this here...

If you decide to play this game, we recommend the Power Glove. It's so bad.

In order to beat the game (the first quest, at least), Pitfall Harry must accomplish 6 tasks:

1. obtain the Raj Diamond
2. find the key to Quickclaw the Lion's cage
3. rescue Quickclaw the Lion
4. find the flask of medicine, which can heal Rhonda
5. rescue Rhonda
6. return to the starting point after completing the previous 5 tasks

The music in this game is very strange.

The route hasn't changed from the previous movie, but all movements are much more precise. The author has been able to manipulate luck favorably in almost every room by waiting or jumping differently.

This movie improves the previous attempt by over 30 seconds, which goes to show that polishing older movies can really pay off! ;)

Wai wai is Japanese and means "ruckus".

This movie by Fuzi2 is a couple of minutes faster than the previous author's movie, due to some new tricks involving the usage of two characters simultaneously.

PS: The vertically scrolling level has some anomaly in scrolling if watched with old versions of FCEU. Versions of FCEU from 0.98.13 onward should display this stage correctly.

This run played on a real NES

There is some major sequence-breaking going on in this movie. Only 6 out of the 9 supposedly mandatory quests are cleared, meaning the author has to find original ways of passing obstacles he's not supposed to pass.

The ending of this game is epilepsy-inducing.

This particular movie is an updated version of the second TAS, with Malkil beaten with some magic not even the game programmers knew about.

The first 17 minutes are identical to the previous version, and were played by Ferret Warlord. The Malkil battle was played by Dacicus.

You can also see this run played on a real NES here.

This is an 3:47 improvement to the previous version.

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.

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.

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.

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 few combos being used over and over.

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.

Walker Boh controls both characters simultaneously, making this 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.
