The submission message follows:

Gens 9c
DAC disabled 3 button controller player 1, 6 button player 2 Perfect Synchro (don't ask, its there out of superstitious habit anymore)
Warp is used in the beginning of the game (via Toilet); makes level pass quicker and gives some powerful weaponry
takes damage to save time, no deaths
played on hardest difficulty
description (also description of movie): an unlikely hero is found in that of an earthworm who battles the evil Queen Slug-for-a-Butt in order to rescue Princess Whats-her-Name?
movie making was easy. played mostly on 10%.
i should note something right off: i grab either ALL or NONE of the blue spheres in "Andy's Asteroids". a few people said it would be more entertaining getting them all, but in some instances (2), i couldn't get them all and nifboy said ALL or NOTHING, so i went with that. yes, some time is wasted at a screen afterwards, but it at least makes the repetetive "Andy's Asteroids" somewhat worthwhile.
Also, i don't do much when waiting because it was deemed VERY irritating when i originally did this (Cheez also pointed out to just do nothing while waiting... and some of Jim's animations are quite funny anyhow, so who am i to deprive the star of the game? :))
i would also like to thank Cheez for showing me the shortcut in "What the Heck!?" and nifboy for his valuable input as i progressed.
i think people would like the result because this is a classic game with a lot of variety (seriously). and this one has an extra level the SNES version doesn't (Intestinal Distress). however, the SNES does have "Who Turned out the Lights?" which is missing from the genesis version. also, i personally find this version more fun than the SNES one.
anyhow, hopefully no desyncs for anyone, and i also hope you enjoy the movie.

Some of the parts look like they can be done faster, (for instance, in your previous video you did the major in the 3rd time before you reached the Guck.)

Parts of Heck look like they can be done slightly faster as well.

And although it's much faster this time around, you can probably go faster through Down the Tubes.

But overall it's a great run. Yes from me.

I haven't seen the movie, but there's a level in which you have to scort a little dog to avoid it being hurt (in the same fashion as the old game sleepwalker).

You can completely skip that level going forward without caring about the dog.

I'll search for the rom when I return home to watch the movie.

I just tried it out. No dice, chief, unless you can make a .gmv that does it.

No, because the thing that triggers the rocket is Pete being in the house.

This game is so damn funny :D I laughed so hard the first time I played this game, especially when he rides the hamster xD

Looking forward to an improved version!

I downloaded the Gens emulator just to watch this.
I've only played the SNES version, so it was nice to see the intestine level. My friends and I could never get past the last bubble vehicle part, and you have 41 seconds left!

However, you missed at least 2 rocket boosters in the tube levels, why is that? Also, finishing those levels on the right side seems to be faster, but you start finishing on the left part way through.

umm, which tube part did u mean? the one's against psycrow or the actual DOWN THE TUBES or TUBE RACE ones?

if its psycrow (as stated in where i start to exit) i think i was just messing around.

either way, ill have to wait til i get home to look at it (missed rockets ill have to look into... i prolly couldn't reach them for the objective i was going for).

I liked the run a lot. The level where you had to lead the dog to his home was insane. What is the music for the hellish level? I know I've heard it somewhere before.

eh... i dunno... i know i've heard it before as well... i remember moonlight sonata is in EWJ2 (though this doesn't remind me of anything classical immediately)... Zophar's has the soundtracks in SPC (SNES format) i know for sure... sorry though, i have no idea the song.

Does the AVI-file really work?

When I take save as AVI it saves as mkv. Why?
