I'll be running this old NES game, mostly because it's rather obscure, and that it's never been run before* thus opening the chance for many others to give it a go. I'm half-way through the game currently.
Glitches/Bugs/etc:
To tell the truth, I can't find any, so I'm going to use only slow-downs and save states. The main problem with the game is that you can't adjust how high you jump, you press A and you've got a set jump path. The only real adjustment is speed and direction (unless you have the skateboard, in which case you can only slow down to about 3 or 5 px a second).
Another problem is the skateboard, it doesn't stop, so unless you're in a fairly simple area, I'd say just ditch the board and keep running instead. Usually this speeds up the game and you don't have to stop so often.
The only extremely mundane part is the boss, which is a guy that walks pretty far to the left, throws a fireball or two and goes to the right and repeats.
This may be done by either tomorrow or Sunday, I'm not entirely sure.
Pausing doesn't seem to affect the game at all, so any tricks involving that are out.
There are also no level warps, so I'm going to have to do every single level thus making this run fairly long.
