Just outta curiosity (and I don't want to derail this thread too much), what would constitute a "stylish" run? Vatchern's run got shot down pretty hard, even though it was faster, because it apparently lacked the style that Sleepz' run had.
Edit: I think I understand now: It's my avatar, isn't it? It makes me look angry.
Add to that the myriad gliitches that the game has, and you have a run with tons of variety.

Remove Remove one of the sonic movies. I dislike having so many similar runs on the list. Variety should be showcased in this section.
Remove a mario movie for the same reason I gave for the Sonic movies (need more variety). I know SMB3 is really popluar, but I honestly perfer the SMB and SMB2 (U) runs more because the SMB3 run has too many autoscrollers. I think the Yoshi Island run is good too, but it's just too long.
Replace 120 star Mario 64 with 1 star. It's shorter and contains more surprises.
Remove Zelda: A Link to the Past. It's long, and I think NES LoZ is the better of the two starred Zelda movies.
Movies that I'd like to see replace the ones listed above: Bionic Commando: I never thought this should have lost its star. The game has exciting music, run and gun action, and the game sets itself apart from typical platformers with the hero's unique method of moving/jumping. This makes for a different TAS that is entertaining. Dragon Warrior: We have no starred RPGs. The dragon warrior run is short and sweet. It has what every good RPG tas needs: luck manipulation used to complete a long game unbelievably fast. The game is exceptionally well known, and it's also short enough to not lose a new viewer's attention. I don't really expect people to agree with me on this suggestion, but I wanted to throw the idea out there. Ninja Gaiden/Ghosts 'n Goblins: Well known and difficult platformers with fun music visuals and sound effects. I'm not sure if anyone agrees with me on these two games.
give its [Rygar's] star to the warped one.

If the stars are truly supposed to be movies for new watchers, then they need a complete revamp. (The front page only says "recommended movies" now though, so perhaps the definition has changed.)
It is a selection of movies that most likely will make the watcher want to see more.

Perhaps because it isn't a massive improvement entertainment-wise (which is what RCR movies should compete in, actually)?
The new Ninja Gaiden 2 run seems very suitable for a star. If it were up to me, it gets the River City Ransom star.

You could also strongly argue that Arkanoid shouldn't be there as well as Mega Man 5, especially when the movie looks weak compared the other starred Mega Man run.
Both are being redone by Baxter, though.
Anyone agree or disagree with some of these ideas?
As for RPG runs: the problem with those is you need a knowledge of the game before you notice what's happening. Memories of the game are what makes the run amazing, not watching the battles, so I'm not sure there will be an RPG run that will appeal to a new user. (When I first saw the Chrono Trigger run, as well as all the Dragon Warriors, I said "so?")
