I have been speedrunning the SMS version and I second a wish for a TAS of this. I discovered a couple of new tricks this morning and would be glad to share all my info, there's also an outside chance of duplicating the flagpole skip in Ultimate. Nobody speedruns the GG version though and it's the same as SMS it seems but just with a smaller game window which would make it useless on our side because of the physics being prohibitive with screen-limit bounces.

Did a couple of RTA runs recently that don't have TASes. Devilish - sort of an adventure Breakout type game - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQcPLnzf7w4 Greendog: The Beached Surfer Dude! - port of the Genesis game, very laggy - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdVMs-ZDoFk

Game Gear version of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, quite sure a TAS could easily be sub 6, figuring out how to skip the death in Scene 3, RTA run - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6YurXCh5Nk

Super Golf on Game Gear, short golf game. I believe you can get a Hole in one on almost every hole if the wind can be manipulated. RTA run - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pgf0I-4puJQ

The Lost World: Jurassic Park on Game Gear. I believe this version is only on Game Gear, simple platformer, TAS should easily be under 10 mins. RTA run - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZD36YLW9844

Chuck Rock II: Son of Chuck on Game Gear. Quite a bit different, and a lot shorter, than the other versions. Unsure if taking a death in the final level is faster or slower than trying to stay alive. RTA run - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7pOhCus3rE

Outrun SMS seems to be very very weird for IGT, top runners have noticed huge illogical discrepancies between RTA and IGT regardless of crashes, and I think PAL is even running faster in both, which may be a lag issue. The whole thing is well above my ability, any light that can be shed would be very welcome. www.speedrun.com/outrunsms/thread/kgp1i

Ninja Princess on SG-1000, a top down shooter. There is a port on Master System, The Ninja, but this is a different game. Straightforward game, and I think the enemies are deterministic, you have to collect 5 hidden scrolls and then that allows you to enter the hidden stairs in Step 10 to get to the true final level, otherwise the game loops.

Phantom 2040 on Game Gear. Quite different from the 16 bit versions, a pretty standard platformer. I skip all the extra powerup items, I don't think they are helpful, but other than that it's all pretty linear. I was able to clip into a wall on the final stage off the red horizontal key door, but I don't think you can do anything with it. RTA run - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PytLGuwudmo

Doraemon: Nora no Suke no Yabou on Game Gear, a decent little platformer. Just 12 stages and 4 bosses. Not a whole lot to the platforming, just some wall climbing and one hit deaths. One small time save I didn't go for is in 1-3, can bounce off a jumping bot and get to a ledge. RTA run - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mG_mSnyCEc

Super Space Invaders on Game Gear, a short, wave based shmup. Playing on Normal there's 5 stages you choose, Darius style, Advanced you play all 12. I choose left the whole way because the first 2 bosses are much faster. Info on weapons here - https://segaretro.org/Super_Space_Invaders RTA run - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_bT291-VTo

CJ: Elephant Fugitive, a Game Gear platformer. 18 stages and 6 bosses, items drop from enemies you kill and seem to be mostly random. Bombs are valuable because they kill enemies in one hit. There are a lot of false walls so I may have missed something in my route, but it seemed to be pretty good. On stages with platforms cycling I wouldn't be surprised if you can make a faster one than I get. RTA run - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AFQA87T3iU

Hurricanes on Game Gear, a soccer based platformer. 12 stages and 1 boss. Goal for each stage is to collect the minimum amount of items required for that stages, then the exit flag appears. There's no maps for the game but I think my route is solid, tho I could have missed something. RTA run - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lvsNsswfq4

Fire & Ice for Master System, a Brazil exclusive platformer. Port of an Amiga game, but stages seem pretty different. 12 stages and a boss, goal is to collect the 6 key pieces to open the exit door in each stage. Game is incredibly laggy, so I imagine trying to deal with that would be a nightmare for a TAS, but posting regardless. RTA run - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XboeA90DXA

Gangcheol RoboCop on Master System, a Korean bootleg port of an MSX game, I believe. 5 stages, item drops appear to be random. Bullet drops are the most important, and ammo is shared. The 5 items drops are: Bullet - 10 ammo, bullet is twice as strong Knife - 10 ammo Health - 10 of these gives back 1 health Cross - invulnerability Lightning bolt - dramatically speeds you up for 20 secs, essentially uncontrollable RTA I think this would make a wild TAS, getting the lightning bolt/cross in every stage and zooming thru to the end, would easily cut the RTA time by more than half, it's just nearly unusable in real time.

Super Bioman I on Master System, a Korean bootleg Mario, port of an MSX game. Pretty simple Mario clone, 10 stages and 4 bosses, only real RNG is the bosses. I found a pretty big glitch, the map screen is kinda jank so you can enter a stage before you are fully over it. If you do it right it loads the previous stage instead. So I dupe 1-1, then dupe the Boom Boom level a few times, and dupe the castle stage into the start of World 2 and it just gives the win. If you dupe over the last castle it will take you back to the World 1 map and softlock. RTA run - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWgM3pJqMvw and an All Stages run - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBYjJLy9JaM
