It's one of those platformers with mouse/keyboard controls. Your goal is to launch your bucket-thing to the end of the level, of which there are 16 in total. The graphics/sound are very NES-esque.

Is it just me, or does Keith look like Gunstar Red?
Anyways, the damage boosting looks awesome. While I can't vouch for the technical quality of this run (I've never even heard of the game), the run definitely looks publishable to my untrained eye.

I might be stepping out of my authority right now, but I think that some of you people should read this page (specifically the "Post Content" and "Complaints" sections) before turning this thread into a flame war. Yes, I mean you(and myself too).

good thing that smb2j luigi movie never got published! oh wait
Three points:
1) That game only has two characters
2) The differences between them are significant to produce different looking movies
3) Unlike SMB2u you can't switch between them midgame.
4) More people should use list tags.

I voted yes because of the music. Very nice.

What is it more specifically that happens here, and why do you have to go to the castle and all that before it?

-Chrono Trigger uses two bites for location. If you reset on the timing that only one byte is overwritten, you can jump to a different location. I used this feature once:
1) Overwrites (1D, 00), Prison Supervisor's Office with (F0, 01), Present Overworld and jump to (F0, 00), the Nu Ending.

80/80 with 1:19 left.
50% of my time was spent figuring out the last 5% of the bosses. :P
For the most part, I just went by the weakness chains, but that was a bit of trouble for the games I'm less familiar with (6 & 8) and the ones that lack definite chains (2 & 3).

Yes, it's the same game.
That run looks pretty unoptimized. He walks when he should roll, he descends the wall the wrong way, and his movement in the shooting section looks slow for some reason. Even with the same goals, I think I could improve his run.

I did a very sloppy test run of this game (6% speed) to see how entertaining this game might be. It's played on the hardest difficulty and aims for the best ending (ie no death abuse). I bet an optimized run would be about a minute faster. :P

A lua script for showing the enemy locations would trivialize the shooter segment.
