Nothing less than a yes vote for taking the best game on the SNES, doing sub-hour (by RTA timing) hundo, and making it look like the (emulated) SNES exploded all over my screen by the end. Simply magnificent, and the routing is unreal.

The run is definitely impressive from a technical standpoint. Even though there might be improvements down the line, though, we'll probably never see them here because SMW romhacking, especially of super-challenging hacks, is an arms race. It seems like every month or two, a new hack comes out that puts the previous "best hack" to shame. Between that and the restrictive rules here on romhack entries in general (justifiably so, otherwise there'd be hundreds of SM, SMW, MM, and various Sonic romhacks flooding the movies lists), I'm still going to call it a yes vote - it was enjoyable - but I worry that GPW2 or whatever comes down the pipe in the near future will obsolete this extremely quickly.

HECK I still have no idea what the heck I'm looking at, even seeing the Sonic AND Tails encodes, but that's only because my brain exploded halfway through Hydrocity 1. All of my Yes vote.

Took me a while to watch. All of my yes. Awesome initial video for the category. Now let's see someone completely destroy the game in the process at some point.

I'm going to be spending the next couple of days picking up exploded grey matter off of the ground, because this run blew my mind. Yes. All of my yes.

From a standpoint of the run itself, namely, the technical aspects, it's a great run. Lots of tricks, some sequence breaking, what's not to love there? The hack itself looks pretty nice from a graphical standpoint. Even a few of its sound remixes are nice. Some. That ending... what. No. Why? That said, I voted Meh. It feels cheapened when something built to be speedrun is indeed speedrun. A lot of the entertainment value is lost. It feels like shooting fish in a barrel. In VATS.

Moonfall abuse is going to cause every category to be reworked, I feel.

This was fun to see. It's nice to see X breaking the game, considering the default in MMX PS runs tends to be Zero SDC-fests. If I had a vote, it'd be yes.

Definitely enjoyable, and yes, that Level 6 boss looked like a pain. It'd be a yes vote if I had one.
