Creative use of damage and picture perfect boss fights combine with some glitchy looking jumps as xipo takes on Lucifer's many demons. The game is completed twice (which is necessary to get the ending) and along the way we are treated to some fabulous Engrish and more information than necessary about the damsel in distress.

This is AngerFist's debut performance on FinalBurn Alpha. Please read the discussion thread if you experience desyncs.

Despite the game's nonsensical name, error1 creates an entertaining run of Dramatic Battle mode, controlling both players against the cpu and using them to pummel his opponents with style. He uses the combination of Dhalsim and Rose to create entertaining combos.

This beats the previous publication by 25.1 seconds. An encode with the loading screens removed can be viewed here

This movie abuses a couple of the game bugs in a surprising way.

Note that this is a Famicom Disk System game. Read What is FDS for more information.

Also note that this movie is about 42 seconds longer than the previous movie. This is due to the inaccurate (shorter) FDS load times emulated by famtasia.

The −1 stage is completely different. In the NES and Unisystem versions, the −1 stage repeats infinitely and cannot be completed, but in FDS, it can be completed, and then come −2 and −3.

The −3 stage in FDS is a castle level, and completing it ends the game, even though it says "princess is in another castle". The princess is not seen in the ending, but she is sighted twice in the −1 stage, as shown in this movie.

This movie is 84 frames faster than the previous one due to the use of a "cheap trick".

Wondering how some tricks work? Information is available at Super Mario Bros tricks page.

This movie is faster than the previous version due to various optimizations, including riding a vine in a very painful position.

This is the real Super Mario Bros 2. It was never officially released in the USA and Europe. It was later ported to SNES, and released as "Lost Levels" on Super Mario All-stars.

FDS means Famicom Disk System. It was a Japanese disk-unit version of the NES.

This is an 85 frame improvement over the previous movie by Deign.

With the help of carefully devised strategies, a little bit of luck manipulation, and moving the cursor at inhuman speed, the author repels this planetary invasion over the course of slightly more than an hour.

Reading the author's comments is strongly recommended to help keep track of what's going on.

Because the game was new at the time of submission, the author had no other runs and almost no walkthroughs to rely on.

Julius is only available to those who have completed the main quest, but unlike Soma Cruz, Belmont can't go through walls or use other fancy tricks like that. Being very upset about it, he hops around the castle madly, producing almost inhuman sounds with every jump.

This is an improvement of almost 13 seconds, mostly due to better boss fights.

We recommend reading the author's comments for more information on the death warp glitch and other time-saving techniques used to make this improvement happen.

If you would like to see more of the game, we also have a "100% souls" Aria of Sorrow movie by Kriole here.

But all that only made the awaited result sweeter, as this first complete all-souls TAS beats the game on Hard mode in less than half an hour without even using glitch warps.

However, if you would like to see the game beaten to a pulp in a mere quarter of this time, don't miss the glitched TAS by klmz.

Note: while the movie doesn't use the glitch warps (neither by death nor by getting out-of-bounds using transform souls), it does use the normal warp rooms present in the castle. Starting from reset was necessary to take advantage of using Hard mode; it is normally not allowed — refer to the rules to see our reasons.

This movie is a 10.5 second improvement over the author's previous movie through various small & thorough optimizations.

For those interested in the areas of the game which this run skips, make sure to check out zggzdydp's run which achieves 100% map completion.

This movie is a 21 frame improvement over the previous movie by the same author due to some small optimizations.

In the quest for perfection, klmz has found another 23 frames over Deign's previous movie.

If you like this run but have a craving for more Maxim action, be sure to check out the Maxim warpless run.

This is a 171-second improvement over zggzdydp's movie. Like in the previous movies, the author picked up an item to display those cool CRITICAL's for entertainment, at the cost of some time.

However, if you still think there is not enough zipping through walls, make sure to see the second quest completed in less than half a minute!

The author tries to complete the game moderately fast, while showing off different things you can do and getting a high score in progress.

Doesn't get hit, except in 2 VS fights where losing is part of the game plot.

Ending score: 32074970

Cheetah 7071 manages to complete the game in just over an hour with only 94 turns though abundant amounts of luck manipulation.

Warning!

As Kirby games usually are, this game has a lot of color. The run also shows off a variety of different enemy abilities, used to help speed things along.

Also added to the sequel are several strange and entertaining minigames, such as using the Helirin to mow grass or attack intruding enemies Space Invaders style.

This run completes Small World, the initially available set of levels; this is the only set of levels accessible without SRAM.

The author abuses game physics and collision detection to complete the levels in record time.

Be sure to read the author's submission info.

In game completion time is 21:50.

It features mostly the same gameplay as its predecessors, but with a different Cyber Elf system and customizable armor. Also new are the Secret Disks, which can be analyzed for information about the series, enemies, items, and the characters.

This run is over 2m30s faster than the previous version.

The abusable invulnerability of middle-bosses points to Zero's superiority, especially when charged Z-Saber or Z-Knuckles is used while wobbling in the air, or combined with a special Z-Buster shot. Middle-bosses fall very quickly, even when they have 128 health. The downside to Z-Saber is the delay when it hits, which explains why most of the time Z-Buster and Z-Knuckles are used.

This run is almost 4 minutes and 20 seconds faster than the previous movie, in spite of over 30 seconds longer dialogues due to game version differences. Bosses with long invulnerable periods are taken down very quickly with various new combos, some of them so creative that are never seen before.

This run collects all 100 capacity increasing items for Samus's health, missiles and power bombs. The abilities recovered from the Core-X are not part of this number.

This is a 1 minute and 11 second improvement of the author's previous movie. In-game completion time is now 0:56.

In-game completion time is 0:40 and no unnecessary items are collected (0%)

This is an improvement of 2142 frames, or just under 36 seconds, over Dragonfangs's previous movie. The improvements come mainly from greater optimization in movement and better ammo management. Unlike the previous author, Cpadolf aimed for lowest real time, finishing the game in 42:07 on the in-game timer.

This movie improves on the previous attempt by the same author by 12 in-game seconds and 34 seconds of real time. It was achieved by using a different route (killing Ridley before Kraid), allowing more efficient time saving tricks and skipping an elevator cutscene.

The in-game clear time is 0:21:27. The item collection rate is 21%.

In this run, Cardboard demonstrates his ninja skills using Sasuke as he effortlessly charges through levels and beats the end bosses so fast they barely have enough time to fight back.

Joe Osugi, bizarre 'anti-terrorist ninja', is called in to assist the local police, who seem to be completely useless in rescuing some hostages.

The game is basically a series of rooms connected together. Your job is to rescue the hostages and then escape the stage through the red door. You have in your arsenal a three-level shuriken, a sword, and a grappling hook similar to the one from Bionic Commando. Joe also has two special abilities: to make himself invincible and to attack all enemies on screen.

This new version by Cardboard is 1 minutes and 31 seconds faster than the previous one by Nitsuja, containing even more ropeswinging acrobatics and ninja madness.

This run improves on the author's previous run by 96 seconds, mostly due to using a different Pokemon a third of the way through. Mudkip, the chosen starter, is a Water Pokémon that has Water/Ground evolutions. After the third gym, Machop, a Fighting type, is used. Its ability allows the Attack stat to be multiplied by 1.5x if it receives a status condition. The paralysis effect is no accident.

Note: You need to have Real Time Clock on and use Flash 128k as Save Type.

In case there are white-screen ROM issues, the run is also reported to work on the following ROMs:

• Pokemon Sapphire (U) [hIRff]
• Pokemon Sapphire (U) [h1] (Clock)

This run features an impressive improvement of 6 minutes over the preceding movie.

On the rare occasions we get to watch Sonic, we get to enjoy seeing him moving through walls, charging up for another dash, or making short work of bosses.

Besides the super fast speed itself, the speed also provides Sonic an ability (glitch) to pass through platforms and walls under certain conditions.

Note: this run has two AVIs available for download. The first one is normal, 45.5 MB in size and shows the movie including the credits and all. The second one is 73.8 MB in size and it shows two screens side by side — the one on the left is identical to the normal version; the one on the right is made with a special emulator, hacked to force the game's camera to focus on Sonic, making it much easier to follow what nitsuja is doing with him. Unlike the first video, this version doesn't show the credits and anything following them.

Look no further, nitsuja in this extremely high-speed run demonstrates how to break the sound barrier and why Sonic is the fastest character in the video game universe.

The average character movement speed in this movie is probably the highest of all the movies on this site.

This movie doesn't collect any of the Chaos Emeralds, but does demonstrate almost every single move that Sonic is capable of in this game.

It is recommended to read the author's novel to see why he chose to do many of the things he did.

In this run, mmbossman heavily abuses a technique that allows him to maintain a very high speed throughout each level, stopping only to rescue civilians or disable bombs. However, since speed isn't as important in boss fights, Spidey also gets a chance to show off some of his acrobatic and martial arts skills.

In the game you need to flip Mario like a pinball to obtain stars, keys, defeat enemies, and advance levels.

Of course the author completes these objectives with speed and precision and often while juggling multiple balls.

However, in this run the author doesn't care about stealth at all and runs through the levels as fast as possible.

FractalFusion has also created a TAS for the game's GBA sequel.

Unlike Wario Land 2 & 3, Wario can be hurt in this game.

Unlike its predecessor, this run is played on hard mode, making it some seconds longer despite more optimized game play.

We apologize for the less-than-average video quality in this AVI, but this game is really unfriendly to MPEG4 compression utilized by codecs such as XviD and H.264.

In this movie the author abuses many glitches to take massive shortcuts in the game (including skipping an entire level). He also intentionally kills off the character several times in order to avoid backtracking.

The goal in the game, however, is not to get the money - instead you're supposed to frame the mobsters. You do this by planting certain items in desks and stuff like that.

Overall, this movie is a lot like the other storybook TAS: super-fast menu navigation, a lot of route planning, and the general feeling of "What in the world is going on in this movie?"

Here, DonamerDragon obliterates what is normally a many hours-long game through heavy luck manipulation.

In this update, hogehoge61 uses increased frame precision and a further optimized boss fight to shave 75 frames from an already short movie.

There is a movie of this game that does not use the warp glitch.

Through a wide variety of glitches and general optimisations, this is now almost ten minutes faster than the previous full run of this game.

This run does not make use of a form of warp glitching, but still demonstrates that they obviously didn't fix as many bugs as they thought.

The video file was replaced shortly after publication due to an oversight on the encoder's part. Please redownload the file if it has a file size greater than 100MB.

This movie is played from a savestate to unlock "extreme" mode, which allows you to play all levels in one game. The author exploits glitches and the fast gameplay to create a movie worthy of what we have come to expect from Mega Man at TASVideos.

Aug. 07, 2009: Replaced MKV with one that has sound for the duration of the movie. Please redownload.

Following the spirit of that series, this is a stealth-based game. Supposedly tricky tasks are to be performed covertly. But in this movie, stealth is clearly not one of the author's highest priorities. It's all running through guards, as if they weren't there. Yet the player does not die.

This movie plays through Pokémon Gold in a fairly fast manner, catching only a half dozen Pokémon in the process, but acquiring all the gym badges, and ultimately beating the protagonist of the earlier generation Pokémon games.

The author of this movie, FractalFusion, has written very extensive details of anything regarding this movie, including even some of the mathematical formulas used by the game. As usual, we recommend reading it.

This run is so glitchy that it's near impossible to follow what's going on without help; reading the author's notes is highly recommended.

Rayman, the original flagship character of the now-renowned company UbiSoft, has no arms or legs, but that doesn't stop him from making surprisingly quick progress through this slow-paced game.

This movie aims to complete the required number of lines as fast as possible. Of course the best course of action is to get only "tetrises" (4 lines at once).

This is a 4.02 second improvement over the previous movie.

This Wario game is a fairly unique platformer, where you not only play as "the bad guy" but normal damage is replaced with various status effects like catching on fire. In addition, the use of these effects is needed to complete the game.

This is a 17 second improvement over the previous movie by Soulrivers.

We recommend reading the authors Submission Text, it has a great deal of information.

This movie requires VBA rerecording v20.

As a ghost, the protagonist has the ability to possess enemies with a selection of different abilities, but that's rarely seen in this run.

In order to pull off the rescue, three keys are needed; these are retrieved in this run so as to obtain the best possible ending.

This run starts off with walking by enemies, showing how incompetent criminals are at firing guns. It proceeds to aerial combat a bit reminiscent of Gradius, further demonstrating that even when criminals fire, their weapons are no match for Batman's Batwing, even when piloted by a Batman impostor. The big finale here shows that as evil as the Joker is, he like all others cannot withstand rocket grenades indefinitely.

This game is one of those grappling hook games, with which Batman can just swing through areas quickly. Much of the improvement comes from bunnybathopping Batman's way through levels and somewhat improved boss fights.

This is 34 seconds faster than the previous version due to optimized details and boss fights and some new strategies.

In this run, MattyXB demonstrates how to flawlessly beat the game. What's unusual is that he also uses some glitches to completely skip parts in the game saving over 20 minutes. The "Power" option is selected on every level-up.

Those trying to follow the story in this movie will have a hard time, since the main characters were both named "A" and integral points in the story were skipped.

Watch MattyXB defeat the evil Dark Lord and others using the "Power" option for every level-up, and glitching out the game where possible.

It's easier to follow the story in this run, but still tricky at times because both main characters were named "A".

Although the game looks straightforward, it requires a lot of precision and a bit of luck manipulation to play it this well.

This game is one of the first to have an overhead map and combine RPG-like elements with platform levels.

The author uses Yanchamaru-san's spinning sword liberally in the run, often killing enemies in one hit.

This run uses the 'Extra Game' password (up+select+A at title screen), which makes the enemies and bosses much more aggressive and damaging than usual.

This is a 32 second improvement over the previous movie by Spezzafer.

This movie skips most of the normal pinball aspects of the game and goes right to the bosses. Clever luck manipulation is used to position them perfectly for optimal damage from Kirby.

In Kung-Fu Master, the player displays frightening reflexes that would be enough to obliterate any opponent.

This movie completes all 30 levels of the "going up" mode.

Swordless Link (the author), however, decided collecting instruments for a one-man band was a waste of time, so he skipped all of that and went straight to the Wind Fish (with a pesky boss battle in the middle).

The author improved the run by 11.22 seconds, which was mostly achieved by using a new route.

If you liked this, be sure to also check out the Game Boy Color version (DX), which completes all the dungeons.

This TAS makes it look like a walk in the park, albeit, a very large park.

This run doesn't really perform any mind boggling glitches like some other Mega Man runs on this site, but it still has the same classic action, and pulls off some very unlikely maneuvers that are enjoyable to watch.

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

That being said, Metroid II doesn't keep track of the collected items' percentage. Moreover, the game has two excessive Energy tanks and an additional copy of each beam. It's been agreed that the author should take all the E-tanks, and at least one copy of each beam. However, due to the apparent linearity of this game, collecting so many additional items doesn't make the movie dramatically slower.

This movie is nearly 6 minutes faster than Alter's previous movie due to better precision, faster Metroid fights, and missile planning.

Note: This movie does not use secret worlds, also known as "select glitch".

This movie by Cardboard puts the Spring Ball and Spider Ball to great use to compensate for the lack of items, and achieves victory in the shortest time possible.

This is a 69 second improvement over the author's previous movie. The in-game time is 43 minutes.

Note: This movie does not use secret worlds, also known as "the select glitch".

This run extensively glitches the game to the point where Samus moves to rooms that are glitched and/or weren't there before. Viewers are advised that this run may induce feelings of confusion and disorientation.

This also beats the previous run by 151 frames.

In this Gaiden of a gaiden, Ryu Hayabusa manages to defeat Emperor Garuda and save mankind in under 12 minutes, notwithstanding running slower than in other Ninja Gaiden games.

This run features the use of a pause glitch to allow extreme jumps, saving time from normal platforming or creating otherwise impossible routes to beat the stages in unintended ways.

This Contra game combines elements from the original Contra and Super C while adding some elements into one action packed game. Watch our hero cruise through 5 levels of steadily increasing difficulty yet still crushing those aliens in record time.

This movie is a 12 second improvement over the previous movie. Improvements come from use of the homing gun and from a bug that allows horizontal screen wrapping.

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

For those of you who enjoy listening to the music, the background music in this one is quite good, and the sound quality is much better than previous Megaman games for the system.

This is 0.25 seconds faster than the previous movie, arising from a substantial amount of testing and optimisation.

The movie this obsoletes was the first published Gameboy movie on this site. Remarkably, 4 years later, this improves it by only 74 frames, which is less than 2 seconds. Interestingly, this movie racks up exactly the same number of points as the original, the author making up for some new routes that didn't give as many as the previous.

This run works on both the Japanese and USA/Europe versions.

This is a 1 minute 14 second improvement over the author's previous attempt. Details on improvements can be found in the author's submission text.

The Smurfs was a once popular comic book and TV series that spread across the world in many languages.

Note: The name of the ROM is Smurfs, The (UE) (V1.0) (M4) [!]; that is, it is actually a USA/Europe version. The game name on the title screen is listed in four different languages.

Selected quote from author: Introduction: Tom and Jerry is a kid’s cartoon where the mouse generally triumphs, with the cat being ignominiously defeated. The video game is a side scroller, with a lot of up-and-down motion as well. Jerry can take 4 hits before dying – the fifth kills him.

It follows a rabbit-like creature called Yacopu on his quest to retrieve a flower and his kidnapped girlfriend so that peace will return to his world. Along the way he gains abilities including turning into a ball and a big, scary godzilla-like rabbit.

This movie requires VBA rerecording v20.

Unlike later 8-bit Sonic games, there are significant differences in levels between the SMS version and the Game Gear version; here the latter is used primarily for faster boss fights.

If you like this run, also check out the run for SMS Sonic 2.

Unlike Sonic collecting Rings to protect himself, Tails carries a special Ring that he can throw like a boomerang or grab things with. Since collected crystals will cost time on the score tally screen, the author simply ignores them all.

Various glitches are abused here, particularly some that allow Bond to skip some of his objectives, and even some entire levels. For more information, see the author's comments.

This run collects all 100 Jiggys hidden throughout the game and ends with the in-game clock reading 2:00:28.

Comicalflop has provided an interesting commentary on the run. It might help explain some of the tricks and make the movie more enjoyable to watch.

Henry's objective is to rescue 6 children found in 6 stages within a specified time.

Chameleon Twist has a total of 6 levels, of which only 4 need to be played through in order to reach the end.

As such, the movie is played on the easiest level in an attempt to reduce the framerate drop issues arising from big amounts of enemies shooting at Duke. However, the sheer speed the player is blasting through levels will likely confuse you regardless — we recommend reading the author's comments to understand all the tricks he used.

The author takes many shortcuts, specifically the kind that were not intended to be used. Read the author's submission for more information about the bugs used.

This movie is over 4 minutes faster than the author's previous movie.

007 is ready for his incredibly popular first person shooter for the Nintendo 64. Rather than taking the usual stealthy strategy, secret agent 007 treats this first person shooter like any other and runs around shooting things with a complete disregard for human life, including his own.

NOTE: There are many graphical emulation issues with this game. Most notably the sky is not rendered correctly. This makes the last level look extremely strange. In addition, the AVI was encoded with a plugin that does not play all of the music effects for most stages.

According to the author, this TAS of the game is a result of 10 months hard work and many years of research into this game.

The game is completed in three cycles: after each cycle, the time is reset to three days before a catastrophe that Link is trying to avert.

NOTE: There are some graphical problems in this movie. In particular, a cutscene at 18:20 appears completely white although it should just be dreamshaded. It is a problem with the video plugin used to render this movie.

As such, it is a slight deviation from the usual "complete the game as fast as possible without any regard to the plot" theme. Slight, because it still does things in the wrong order.

This movie contains several new glitches that are not used in the aims-for-fastest-time TAS that we have on this site. As a bonus, a special high-quality cel-shaded video is provided for your viewing pleasure in mkv format. If you encounter problems viewing it, please check the CodecProblems page.

Similar to the other Zelda movie, there exists not one, but two audio commentaries provided by two different members. Be sure to check out either Comicalflop's commentary, or MiraiGen's commentary.

This movie uses a variety of sequence breaks and shortcuts to complete the game in under an hour using a minimal number of inventory and quest items. Of central interest are the ability to glitch through the Door of Time, meaning that no dungeons need to be entered as young Link, and a memory manipulation glitch known as the Reverse Bottle Adventure, allowing the medallions collected from adult Link's dungeons to be pulled out of thin air; therefore the only dungeon that is ever entered in this run is Ganon's Castle.

Marina is quite a versatile cyborg. She can boost continuously in the air, ride vehicles, slide and jump like a maniac, and most importantly, shake. Make no mistake, you'll be seeing Comicalflop shake this thing, and even that thing quite a lot in this fast-paced run.

The game is broken down into 52 short areas, each of them having a separate timer. Because of this, the author aims to optimize the movie for shortest in-game time. Each stage is given a rank based on how fast the stage was completed; this run gets all S Ranks.

The game has some emulation errors, such as unnatural amounts of lag in some stages, and graphical glitches. See the author's comments for more details.

Note: This movie is unofficially rated "PG-13" for having lots of blood and gibs. Viewer discretion is advised.

What begins as a quest to investigate an attack on a castle quickly evolves into a race to stop a plot to transform Japan into... a giant stage.

As with many other runs on this site, the goal of pure speed has resulted in the complete breaking of the game. Very little of the game's normal play remains. If you'd like to see more of what Super Mario 64 offers, see the 120 star run.

This movie is approximately a 5 second improvement to the previous movie due to a series of improvements discovered by the authors, detailed in the submission message.

Alternatively, you can view a more optimised version of the previous type of any% TAS, the 16-stars run, here, played by Swordless Link. The run is 41 seconds faster than the last published 16-star movie.

Numerous bugs are exploited in order to speed up Mario's progress and the physics engine is abused to its fullest.

If you prefer to see the game beaten in the fastest time, then watch the 0-star run.

We have seen several submissions for this game here but this is the first one to be published. The author shows off fancy fighting with Yoshi on the hardest difficulty. Rather than the usual goal of speed, this movie aims to be as entertaining as possible in the tradition of all fighting games here.

Another submission by the same author but which is based upon fastest completion time instead, can be watched via emulator movie at its submission page. There are also several other submissions of various quality that can be watched on an emulator.

In this movie, Acmlm rapid-fires Tetris blocks so fast that no one else has any idea what's going on. Even the game itself is confused. Levels do not end properly until the entire sphere is blown apart. As for the timer when it reaches zero, well, see for yourself. :)

Since there is no real use in aiming for the fastest time, emu instead opts to show off by performing crazy stunts, large combos and making a really high score. It is intended to be judged by its mastery of the game rather than how quickly it reaches completion.

Turok has been famous for being the first fog navigation simulator of its time. The omnipresent fog was included to obscure the low rendering distance that was used in order to increase performance on N64's hardware, but it also resulted in a somewhat claustrophobic feeling throughout the game. To further confuse the disoriented player, the majority of wall textures are nondescript and repetitive, making it easy to get lost at times.

Disclaimer: Due to various complaints of motion sickness caused by the strafe-running technique utilized, the viewer is encouraged to keep an airsickness bag handy in case of sudden nausea.

The final score is 2,613,944 points. In contrast, the best current unassisted record is only about 18,000. There are huge bonus multipliers which stack together to produce the massive score.

This short glitched movie beats the game in a mere 8 minutes and 20 seconds. It is achieved by collecting souls and setting important flags just by zipping around the castle, allowing the player to complete it without even seeing the last boss.

The second Castlevania title released on Nintendo DS after Dawn Of Sorrow, this game is a direct sequel to BloodLines on Sega Genesis. Dracula rises from the dead yet again (cue groan), and it's up to Jonathan Morris, helped out by Charlotte Austin, a powerful mage student, to defeat him.

The use of glitchy warps is not new to Castlevania runs, but what is new is the creative use of switching between the main characters for basic character movement. We dare you to not have Jonasan! Sharotto! Jonasan! Sharotto! Jonasan! Sharotto! stuck in your head after watching the run.

Main improvements come from switching to a newer emulator version that helped eliminate most of the lag, better luck manipulation and optimized movement all around. The author has made a ghost script video for easier comparison. Be sure to read the previous version's submission text for explanations on the glitches used and the route choices.

In order to ensure that the weapon choice and route is optimal, the author created an alternate fully optimized test run with a new route. The run enters the final boss sooner with a weaker weapon (Final Sword), but spends more time fighting — so much so that 2/3 of the movie is spent fighting Dracula! Even though the emulator version was the same as the one used here, the final time is still over two minutes higher.

Watch Bill Rizer embark on a new colorful adventure in the shirtless land, this time making even less sense than ever before. To quote the game's ending: Whatever the truth may have been, it was lost to time as the invaders became a mere footnote in the pages of history. A footnote which read: they sure blew up good.

Amen.

The author completes the game in record time, using a glitch that corrupts the save game data to unlock the mission Salt in the Wound, the only one required to unlock the credits.

This new run features Luigi instead of Mario, who manages a 1:33 improvement over the previous run and demonstrates several new tricks for boosting his speed.

TODO: expand description.

The game allows the player to recover the eight jewels in any order. The player can save time in the boss fights by choosing the optimal sequence.

This movie is ~11 seconds faster than the previous version by the same author, due to better control of the boy's acceleration.

This version is a 43-second improvement over the previous movie.

The American version of this game is a lot more difficult than the Japanese one (Mad City), although this video makes it seem easy.

This is a 56 second improvement over the previous movie by Phil.

The goal of the game is to collect all hearts in every stage, then get the ball from the chest to open the door to the next room.

Lolo may seem simplistic, but it remains being a truly well-made puzzle. Finding optimal solutions to most of the rooms has proven to be a very nontrivial task, and every once in a while a new improvement is found.

As such, this is Baxter's 10th attempt at this game, this time 610 frames (a little over 10 seconds) faster than the previous. Eleven rooms have been improved.

Use "Defenders of the Crown (U).nes" ROM to watch it.

This run aims to beat every room as fast as possible, often by strategies the game developers had not intended, including glitch abuse. In addition to Hanzou, strategies were developed by many players, such as Bag of Magic Food, CtrlAltDestroy, Deign, Nitrodon, and Randil.

This update beats the previous submission by 39.13 seconds.

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

The great devil turned all of the inhabitants of Lala's kingdom to stone. Lolo and Lala go through 100 rooms to defeat him, or something like that. This run is 14 minutes and 50 seconds faster than windeu's rejected submission, and 6563 frames (1 minute and 49.38 seconds) faster than my test run.

Air 2 is a trial-and-error platform puzzle game. Savestates are practically required to beat the game. Abuse of Super Mario Bros. glitches is required by design.

This run does not aim for fastest completion.

There is also a Game Boy sequel that is known as Kid Dracula.

This is a 50+ second improvement over the previous movie by Phil and Genisto.

Tailz's second version, about 40 seconds faster than his first.

See the author's comments for more information on this glitch.

This improves the author's previous movie by about 5 seconds.

This incredible TAS of Arkanoid, made by Baxter, inspires awe in a manner comparable to the Gradius movie. No ball is ever lost, even though three balls are juggled in every level where possible.

It is a somewhat clumsy game. For one, Astyanax is twice as big as he appears, and so he is easily hit unless one plays carefully. The controls are also very bad. The sum of these factors is that it's a difficult game to play, but that's part of what makes this movie interesting—especially for those who have played this game.

Thanks to effective lag management and using a different weapon, the author has achieved 85 seconds worth of improvement over the previous movie by Walker Boh.

This is an improvement of only 6 frames (0.1 seconds) over the previous version by the same author.

It's an optimized version of the fast walkthrough of the game originally devised by Morimoto.

The answer is a resounding "yes", though we're not sure if Karnov counts as a ninja or not.

In this run, KirkQ utilizes obscure and unusual jump patterns to move quickly. During the game's many scrolling sections, optimization shifts more toward entertainment.

Here Aglar has managed to improved the previous movie by 2.5 seconds.

Enjoy the movie, and the excellent soundtrack and the graphics of this game.

The gameplay has undergone some changes compared to its predecessor. A welcome addition to it is a slide movement, similar to the one in the Mega Man series. A not-so-welcome addition is that half the stages are autoscrolling, and there are no close combat weapons now.

This movie is 9:11 faster than Arc's version, mostly because of the utilization of a gameplay-altering glitch: pressing Left+Right simultaneously in order to make Orpheus move with almost unlimited velocity growth. The trick is documented at Battle of Olympus Tricks.

The route used in this movie is decided by a few things the hero (Orpheus) must do:

• Collect three fragments of love in order to activate the Tartarus entry.
• Get a key to access the second fragment's location.
• Get the Eyeball of Graeae to see invisible doors (to access the first fragment's location).
• Get a sword in Peloponnesus. It is needed to kill the three-headed guardian with respawning heads (Cerberus) in Tartarus.
• Collect 60 olives in order to buy the ocarina, which will be needed to cross the sea to get to Crete and Tartarus.
• Get a harp in order to call Pegasus. It makes the route faster.

This movie requires FCEU 0.98.12.

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.

Maybe you thought Battletoads was a game full of amphibians, but it is actually full of bugs. Those beta testers really should have spent a little more time on this game...

This is Phil's first contribution to Bionic Commando, which is an improvement of >12 seconds over the previous run, in which he proves he is indeed a cat burglar.

This game is considered to be very difficult to beat.

In this movie the hero gets bored with the tank early on, skips the bosses and mostly decides to just go straight to the final boss and blow him up. The frog is saved and dissected, and Biology 101 is passed. Hooray!

This movie plays on the European version of the game, which includes a few bugs such as stopping movement by pausing and allowing double (and more) jumping. A changed zip mechanism is also in the European version which allows warping through things you really shouldn't be able to warp through.

This publication beats the previous movie by 9 seconds.

If you would like to see more of the game, we also have a warpless Blaster Master movie here that plays on the US version.

This game is really fast-paced. Do a TAS of it, and… see for yourself. :)

This new version is 47.82 seconds faster than the previous movie by the same author.

Normally, standing under any falling object or just getting close to an enemy means instant death, but in this movie the player fearlessly dives through heaps of falling objects and walks past enemies without a scratch.

It's quite pleasureable to watch if you have ever sat screaming at this game for getting stuck or killed repeatedly.

This playthrough uses a password to skip to level 19-1, which begins the hardest set of levels. The amoeba levels have long unavoidable waits, it is advised to fast-forward through these.

This movie features one... no, wait, six players controlling two characters simultaneously while smashing the previous time by 2 minutes and 41 seconds. However, this publication chooses to use warps.

Authors adelikat, Tompa, and Cardboard recorded some live commentary as well.

Interesting fact about this game is that Konami used to implement unconventional ways of piracy protection, in this particular case by making each hit or "wrong" collision in the game result in an instant death if you play it illegitimately. Apparently, this was how a large amount of people were used to play it in pre-emulation era, without even realizing Konami's little sabotage.

This movie by AnS is set up in a fashion that imitates this handicap by playing the game in hard mode (accessing it through a password), where every hit counts as death. Other than that, it also improves the previous movie by 2 minutes 48.7 seconds, using several major glitches and a lot of small tricks explained in great detail in the author's comments.
