Magic Sword: Heroic Fantasy is a hack 'n slash game that was created by Capcom for the arcades and was later ported over to the SNES. The premise starts out with a hero known as the Brave One (Alan in the Japanese version) whose goal is to reach the top of a tall ominous tower so he can face Drokmar and defeat him before he can take over the world with the Black Orb.

One unique gameplay element is that the Brave One can summon an ally of a variable class to assist them, and both characters share a magical meter that empties every time the Brave One attacks. The strength of magical-type allies' attacks depend on this meter, with them attacking at full strength when the meter is full and not attacking at all when the meter is empty.

For this run, New_King_James chooses to play every stage in the game, starting from the very beginning, at the hardest difficulty with only one player and completes a nigh-impossible game in record time.

Warning: This run contains sequences of flashing and strobing lights which may not be suitable for those with photosensitivity issues.
