[4242] SNES Secret of Evermore "game end glitch" by r-bin2 in 06:29.39 because the ending is just so amazingly screwed up, it's fascinating to watch.

[4320] GBA Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance by hellagels & klmz in 04:58.46 is one of the more unique-looking games in terms of broken-ness, which makes it nice for this award. The way the camera stops working (outside of transitioning rooms) and half of the action happens off-screen is a creative form of glitchery. [4342] NES Castlevania by Challenger in 10:18.91 also gets a nomination for taking a classic TAS of a classic game and adding some significant breaks to it.

Games are basically math with a visual representation of this math, that's why I make the scripts, to re-see games as math. My things: YouTube, GitHub, Pastebin, Twitter

I'm vetoing this nomination, it is 4 frames slower than and virtually indistinguishable from the non-obsoleted movie which is also nominated. There can be reasons sometimes to nominate obsolete movies, but I don't see any good reason in this case.
