If you want a run of Luigi, it will be slower, because Luigi can't sprint as fast as Mario. Here is the speed in average of the two:

Mario:

Walking:   (20 + 19 + 20 + 19 + 21)/5 = 19,8
Running:   (36 + 35 + 36 + 35 + 37)/5 = 35,8
Sprinting: (48 + 47 + 48 + 47 + 49)/5 = 47,8
Flying:    (50 + 49 + 48 + 47 + 51)/5 = 49


Luigi:

Walking:   (20 + 20 + 19 + 21 + 20 + 19 + 21)/7 = 20
Running:   (36 + 36 + 35 + 37 + 36 + 35 + 37)/7 = 36
Sprinting: (40 + 40 + 39 + 40 + 40 + 39 + 41)/7 = 39.86
Flying:    (51 + 50 + 49 + 49 + 48 + 48 + 47 + 51 + 50 + 50 + 49 + 49 + 48 + 47 + 51 + 51 + 50 + 50 + 49 + 48 + 48 + 47 + 51 + 51 + 50 + 50 + 49 + 48 + 48 + 47 + 51)/31 = 49,19

Since you mostly have to sprint in the run, it will be slower. With hopping glitch with luigi, he will lose 2 pixel per 4 frames...

2) Spikestuff is almost certainly a native English speaker as he lives in Australia and he used a mondegreen (something that people who exclusively write a language virtually never do). If a person is not familiar enough with an expression to write it correctly, they lose the right to use it to insult others. Calling out/mocking him over that mistake, while certainly not a kind thing to do, is not entirely unreasonable.

The main reason why the music sounds worse on GBA is because its smaller speakers mean it couldn't produce any bass. (Or at least I think that's why)

I disagree. If you listen to Kirby Amazing Mirror tracks, the bass is EVERYWHERE.

I'm going with no. This isn't different enough to publish alongside the SNES version, and this version of the game neither looks nor sounds as good as the original, making obsoleting the SNES version undesirable. I have to agree that perhaps some sort of full-game Luigi run would be worthy of publishing alongside the SNES runs. I'll shorten a needlessly long rant I had written out directed at Mistralet: 1) The GBA sounds pretty awful for the most part, especially when it is playing SNES music (since you have a point of comparison). This isn't a simple speaker issue, since it persists on every model of GBA as well as emulators. The only reason that Golden Sun sounds so good is because great care was taken to avoid the GBA's sound limitations. 2) Spikestuff is almost certainly a native English speaker as he lives in Australia and he used a mondegreen (something that people who exclusively write a language virtually never do).

The whole Game Boy line seems to play less bass than the NES or SNES, which I think is why most GBx/GBA music is made of higher notes (Kirby music, Pokémon music, etc.)

sorry, people, but i had to do it

This movie by the current rules of the Vault this movie seems eligible. But I think it provides a good test case. We want to accept versions of games on other platforms, but how similar is too similar? Is this too similar even for the Vault?

I'd say what matters is not whether the game looks similar, but whether the TAS is similar. If the TAS of the port uses glitches or tricks that the original doesn't have, or requires a different route, or has a clearly different definition of "100% completion" then I would like to see both original version and port on the site. For example, for Prince of Persia, we have a run of the NES (which closely matches the PC original), the Genesis (which has different physics) and the SNES (which adds several levels and boss fights).
