This game is a crappy NES platformer about a purple alien shape-shifter named Widget who wishes he was Mega Man. He's on a mission to destroy all the evil villains responsible for kidnapping animals and polluting the rainforest and stuff. Fortunately for him, he has the power to completely ignore the laws of physics. This is an improvement of 43 seconds over the previous (unpublished but accepted) run.
  • Used FCEU 98.15
  • Aims for fastest time
  • Abuses programming errors
  • Takes damage to save time
  • Uses Left+Right and Up+Down
Just when you think this game can't get any weirder...
The improvement over the unpublished movie comes from:
  • Grabbing a gun upgrade at the very beginning, which allowed for even faster defeat of the bosses. It only saved 10 frames on Slank and Dante, but it saved several seconds on Flim Flam, Bizzarre Brain, and Ratchet!
  • Much better use of zipping
  • Clever use of invisible platforms to avoid taking damage
  • A new glitch in Dante's level (4th one played)- you'll just have to see this one for yourself.
  • Actually skipping the dialogue at the end, which saved about 7 of the seconds.
Unless more glitches or improvements beyond lag reduction are found, I don't think I'll be re-doing this run again.

Truncated: Re-accepting since the previuos slower version was already accepted, but not published.

Yeah, and strangely enough, the first one was uploaded by myself. The second one was replied to the same video I replied to. And neither of them have been added to the video reply list yet.

I don't believe it, but this game actually gets even weirder. I think a third run is in order here shortly.
