Tool-assisted movies (6)

Come watch our favorite green super heroes beat up some ninjas, before they turn into soup.

In this game you are supposed to hunt down an evil crime syndicate (so what else is new?) by freeing kids from blocks of ice, and capturing the red guys to get clues. Unfortunately the ninja didn't have time for that, he just walks past all baddies and kills the bosses.

This syndicate turns out to be selling drugs, but the Black Manta sets them straight: "Drugs kill you think you're cool but you're not." Yeah!

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

This game has a crazy main music theme.

The classic game that we grew up with completed incredibly fast. The length is 5:01.27 (18076 frames), from power on to touching the axe.
It is 148 frames (2.47 seconds) faster than the previous version, which beat something that was thought to be perfect.

Even in simple-looking games you can always find more time-saving tricks to exploit if you look hard enough. See what we've found at the Super Mario Bros. Tricks page.

The completion times for each level are:

Donkey Kong is a classic game that has been challenged plenty of times at this site, by different authors.

Every time before it has been rejected ― either because the movies have been imperfect, or just because the game is too simple.
(Isn't it? Even the video codec thinks it can encode the movie losslessly in a mere 251 kbit/s rate.)

But persistence prevailed (take no hint!), and Michael Reilly got his movie through.

This movie applies luck manipulation to keep the bad enemies out of way so mister Jumpman (later to become Mario) doesn't need to jump so much.

This is a historic movie, submitted and obsoleted before the creation of the database-based (and wiki-based) site engine, before July 2004.

It was inserted to the database in a history revival project by Bisqwit in autumn 2006.

As for the movie itself... This is Bisqwit's 3rd attempt and is about 3 seconds faster than the previous. The time saved comes from small improvements starting in 4-1.

This Super Metroid movie by Cpadolf aims for in-game time, making use of the fact that the in-game timer is stopped during certain events. It's 25 seconds slower than Hero of the day's Super Metroid any% TAS in real time, but completes the game in 24 minutes and 4 seconds by its timer.
