It's Kangaroo, again. A lot faster, too. Super quickly after the first publication, too. I love you guys. 2290 frames faster than the published TAS.
Kangaroo takes some Kangaroids and demolishes the game. This TAS is much quicker than the previous. This is because a new bug is abused. Pressing down+left+right causes the kangaroo to fall through the ground. He eventually wraps around to the top of the screen. This allows us to skip pretty much each level. Now the game is completed super quickly. To all the people who liked the previous submission because the game was from their childhood, uh... sorry.
  • Genre: Broken

Incredibly Long Level Comments

Level 1

Pretty straightforward. No, you don't win if you stand on the top floor.

Level 2

In this level, you die if you're in midair, which is why we have to land on that one platform. Also, moving left at the start is to avoid being killed by an apple on the top floor when we do the warp.

Level 3

Stupidly simple, since the ladder is right above us.
Thanks for Yep2yel for making the previous movie. Have fun!

Noxxa: Judging.
Noxxa: It is fun to see how even the simplest of games can be broken badly. Accepting to Moons as an improvement to the published movie.
Guga: It's mine!

The every-game-has-a-bug rule seems to have no exceptions, nice job on finding it.
I am old enough to know better, but not enough to do it.

Wow. I feel bad for the gameplay. However, this is IMHO way more entertaining than what came before, not to mention faster. This is like when that bug was found in Stage 1 of Donkey Kong... except that this entire run looks like that bug. Yes vote!
Used to be a frequent submissions commenter. My new computer has had some issues running emulators, so I've been here more sporadically. Still haven't gotten around to actually TASing yet... I was going to improve Kid Dracula for GB. It seems I was beaten to it, though, with a recent awesome run by Hetfield90 and StarvinStruthers. (http://tasvideos.org/2928M.html.) Thanks to goofydylan8 for running Gargoyle's Quest 2 because I mentioned the game! (http://tasvideos.org/2001M.html) Thanks to feos and MESHUGGAH for taking up runs of Duck Tales 2 because of my old signature! Thanks also to Samsara for finishing a Treasure Master run. From the submission comments:
Shoutouts and thanks to mklip2001 for arguably being the nicest and most supportive person on the forums.

I congratulate you, and I actually feel good that someone obsoleted my first video. I'm incredibly curious to see what other bugs this and other Atari games have. All of my yes votes.

This is just crazy. I also like that the new glitch makes the game even more similar to (NES) Donkey Kong. Yes vote.

When I load this game, it resists
