Monopoly

While the CPUs were distracted, FractalFusion changed the dice on them and then left the board for a few minutes. When he came back, all the CPUs were crying. The fraud squad is still investigating.

This movie aims to defeat 4 CPU controlled players, ceasing to press buttons on the controller after as little time as possible. Luck is manipulated for the first 1:08, and then the CPUs are left to lose by themselves without requiring any further actions by the player.

Monopoly is a popular board game that has received many video game adaptations. It is an economics based game where the general objective is to own as many properties as possible and push high rents so everyone else can be brought to bankruptcy. As doing this can take a long time, the game has been criticized as a slow grindfest where it's hard to dislodge the top player.

For this run, FractalFusion decides to play against 7 CPUs — the maximum allowed in the NES game — and manipulates the dice and the CPUs into getting bankrupt through their hotels as soon as possible by ending input early. For further details on how the RNG was manipulated to their advantage, you can read the author's notes.
