Gruefood Delight is a list of movie submissions that couldn't be published on TASVideos for one reason or another, but are notable enough to deserve a spotlight.
Please post in its [Forum/Topics/6841|forum topic] if you have suggestions for other submissions to include.
Bon appétit, fellow gruefood gourmands!

|[http://youtu.be/aFlvvbY6cXY|https://i.ytimg.com/vi/aFlvvbY6cXY/mqdefault.jpg]|This relies on an emulator glitch rather than a game glitch so it's not really legitimate — but it's still pretty funny. Later an [1564M|"official" run] was published (though it's now obsolete).|

|[http://youtu.be/6vACc4FXM0A|https://i.ytimg.com/vi/6vACc4FXM0A/mqdefault.jpg]|A huge improvement over the any% run ... though not legitimate as it copies data (like the plane) from a completed game save.|

|[http://youtu.be/28wGqV_VVhk|https://i.ytimg.com/vi/28wGqV_VVhk/mqdefault.jpg]|An interesting idea for ''Super Mario Bros.'' applied to ''Super Mario World''. Instead of "Does not use B", the rule for this one is ''"[[no]] pressing Y/X and left/right at all on the ground or in air ...

|[http://youtu.be/J3xosOi21do|https://i.ytimg.com/vi/J3xosOi21do/mqdefault.jpg]|This collects as many stars as possible with the restrictions laid out in the title.

|[http://youtu.be/sxgfuqvr-Y0|https://i.ytimg.com/vi/sxgfuqvr-Y0/mqdefault.jpg]|The most optimized "16 stars" run to date. It was originally intended that the player collect a minimum of 70 to finish, but a few bugs allow Mario to pass through doors and barriers that normally require a minimum number of stars to open.|

The reason this goal exists [[is]] to show a lot more of the game without the run being overly long. This run contains a decent amount of the glitches that are in this game and also shows off the recently discovered Wrong Warp glitch."''|

|[http://youtu.be/9Mi_VFwOmPE|https://i.ytimg.com/vi/9Mi_VFwOmPE/mqdefault.jpg]|A perfect example of a run that would be ideal for the Vault ... except it didn't not qualify for Vault rules due to its category and was sent to Gruefood as a result.|

|[https://youtu.be/oOXjCY76TEI|https://i.ytimg.com/vi/oOXjCY76TEI/mqdefault.jpg]|A run similar to the ''[1248M|Family Feud]'' TAS, though this one has a story that's told through the player character's responses.|
|| ||[4045S]||
|[http://youtu.be/LUXjKlk7adM|https://i.ytimg.com/vi/LUXjKlk7adM/mqdefault.jpg]|This run differs from the author's [2432M|currently published DotC TAS] only at the end, where it aims to reach the ending as soon as possible as opposed to ending input as early as possible. A [Forum/Topics/14336|discussion thread] was spawned, and more than two weeks of discussion only saw the community, judges, admins, and the author himself divided over this issue. Ultimately, this run was rejected for solely being a stylistic difference and not improving on the published run in any objective way.|
|| ||[4168S]||
|[http://youtu.be/bkFz0qFragE|https://i.ytimg.com/vi/bkFz0qFragE/mqdefault.jpg]|This run ends input after 5 seconds ... then takes 74 hours to reach the maximum score of 99999900.%%% %%%Too bad it couldn't end the game after that.|

|[http://youtu.be/LNAnUEBFLco|https://i.ytimg.com/vi/LNAnUEBFLco/mqdefault.jpg]|Unlike the [4580M|published run], this run takes advantage of the game's feature for Barney to run through the entire game and go straight to the credits all by himself, all done with ''one'' frame of input and thus making it over __14,000__ times faster.%%% %%%Since this run is virtually identical to this [1903S|2008 April Fools submission] (as linked below), the image on the left links to the encode for that submission.|

|[https://youtu.be/f0vXfHhGMqs|https://i.ytimg.com/vi/f0vXfHhGMqs/mqdefault.jpg]|A nice run showcasing abuse of a glitch that the [2671M|2 player TAS] only uses during the Bonus Phases.|

Too bad the game doesn't actually have any collectable or percentage counter that could point out a full game completion, making this long and repetitive movie not applicable for Vault.|
|| ||[5978S]||
|[https://youtu.be/ZnmqLJHSPX0|https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ZnmqLJHSPX0/mqdefault.jpg]|This movie just kind of arbitrarily glitches ''some'' of the items into the inventory, before just glitch-warping to the credits anyway. It's Ocarina of Time, so it needs to have all random categories covered, okay?|

|[http://youtu.be/HC_4WnGvrUg|https://i.ytimg.com/vi/HC_4WnGvrUg/mqdefault.jpg]|This run achieves the game's "bad ending" in record time, using a wrong warp glitch that may not be usable in any other category for this hack, but it was rejected given the nature of the game's bad ending being nothing more than a glorified game over screen.|
|| ||[6796S]||
|[https://youtu.be/HjAU7lmTXMk|https://i.ytimg.com/vi/HjAU7lmTXMk/mqdefault.jpg]|Once the fastest completion for Gen 2 Pokemon (which is now held by a "save glitch" run of Pokemon Crystal), "Coin Case glitch" was initially kept as a separate branch due to its entertainment rating.

The first being his ability to write massively complex bots, that require a level of programming well beyond the abilities of 99.9% of the community. The second amazement comes from his ability to find mind-numbingly boring games to make movies out of; with the end result making paint drying look like the first run of Citizen Kane.''"|

| |Give man the ability to create bots sophisticated enough to speedrun whole games, and this is what they come up with.%%% %%% "''This is a 100% completion of Uniracers, starting from a blank SRAM. "100%" is defined as getting a gold medal on every tour with every Uniracer. The idea is, if you like watching a level completed, why wouldn't you want to watch it completed the exact same way 47 more times? Also I feel like this is a very underrated branch of Uniracers. You see, when Uniracers first jumped to the top 10 of the SRL Popularity charts, it was all the rage to run any%. Few races of 100% were ever performed. I created this movie to show, not only is it a short and fun category, but accessible, too. One need learn only one trick to complete it!"''|
