Panda World, a Taiwan bootleg from the early 2000s? 4 worlds of 3 levels each and one final boss. Try to roll as much as possible. There is a bug on the final boss, which I did get in my run, where the eyes of the boss can despawn. I have no idea what causes it. I think I've also had them fall down without getting hit the full 6 times. If the 2nd eye despawns the boss won't die, since it needs to fall off the screen.

Golf, just 9 holes. Main thing is you can chip in the hole from the fairway, so would want to set that up for each hole. RTA run - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfkhiCx7TaY

Supertripper from 1985. Kind of a collectathon platformer, run around a very large map to collect 28 disks. Main mechanic is using balloons to gain height. There are packs of balloons scattered around but they only show up when you have 3 or fewer balloons.

Purikura Daiskusen, an isometric run n gun. 5 shorts stages and bosses. I think the dog is fastest cause it seems to do the most damage. RTA run - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xaZQ-nhOsw

Marko's Magic Football on Game Gear. Short platformer, just 8 stages with no bosses. I discovered you can very easily zip, just jump and kick at the same time below a ceiling, and you will clip up into it and you can zip left, right or up. This lets you fully skip the final stage, but didn't find any other big uses, since the other stages with ceilings the goal is down and not up in the stage.

Cheese Cat-Astrophe Starring Speedy Gonzales on SMS. Standard platformer, 5 worlds each with 3 stages and a boss. Find the key and rescue the mouse in the stage then go to the exit. I don't think there's really any RNG. There is also a Game Gear version which is almost identical but super zoomed in and a bit slower overall. RTA run - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCqo-PhaDyA

Out of Control, rare game from 1984. Short obstacle course with Asteroids controls. Make it thru the slalom, collect the green things and park in the garage. Super short, I'm sure could be under a minute. RTA run - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuGSi71bO64

Ordyne, a basic shmup. Not really any lag in the game, and you can just turbo in the face of bosses. I opt to stop in the shop near the end to get the fire bomb powerup to help with a couple fights, but it might not be fastest. RTA run - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JnW-Z985N8

Milon's Secret Castle, a pretty nice port, despite being very laggy. Follows the same general route as the NES Any%. Buffering Start on Reset makes the final boss appear in the 2nd room, but I assume you can force it to appear in the first room by starting on the correct frame.

Obocchama-kun, linear platformer, run to the right. 4 worlds of 4 stages each. Hold Down to be the dog? form, which runs faster but jumps lower. If you are on the descent of your jump you will always bounce on an enemy, similar to Mario 1. Throughout the stages are blue turtle shells, if you press Up on or under them a powerup will appear, which are very helpful for RTA, but I'd guess most aren't necessary for a TAS.

RoboCop, an unreleased prototype that was dumped in 2022. The game is complete. Mostly just jump thru every stage and use flamethrower on bosses once you get it. There is a random boss skip on the office stage. I have no idea how it works, it doesn't seem to have any consistency, but sometimes you get to the boss and it just ends. And I don't fully understand the slime boss, I think maybe it's on a global pattern.

Tiger Road, port of the arcade game, but pretty different. 5 stages. Stage 4 has an alternate path and stage 5 has 2 alternate paths, and I think I take the fastest. Enemy spawns are mostly deterministic, they behave the same if you do the same thing, but a few things seem random. First boss is heavy RNG, in a savestate it seems like it can do any of the 3 moves based on how you move. I did happen to noticed I accidentally did some sort of crit on the first boss. There is some sort of frame if you hit them it does 6-8 damage and they fly back, but I couldn't find anything consistent with it. I also do the monk mini games, if you do both you get double damage in the final stage. At least for RTA, it definitely seemed worth the time loss, the final boss is scary and slow without it. But it might be faster to fail the mini games for a TAS. And I tried the PC Engine version and it's much harder, certain screens have a ton more enemies throughout, for example even just the 2nd screen of stage 1.

Ghouls n Ghosts, a great port of the arcade game. Only 1 loop of the 5 stages. I keep gold armor and lance the whole run so I can use lightning magic to 1 shot enemies, mostly in stage 5. RTA run - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=245i2rd9GUU

Current WR holder ThatPunk_ uploaded a vid going over advanced strats. I'm sure most are known but they found an interesting floor clip, similar to CV2, maybe it can be useful somewhere or lead to something. Timestamps are in the pinned comment, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkgYPM9-2cE

Soldier of Fortune, an exploration action platformer from 1988. Goal is to collect the 6 tablet pieces in each stage, which opens the boss room. 4 stages. The item spawns are heavy RNG, I think a seed is set when you start, but just doing RTA runs it was extremely random. Some of the tablet pieces are always in fixed locations but all the other ones can seemingly be in any spawn location. RTA run - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJR4qJRoalg

Abu Simbel Profanation, a flip screen platformer. Trolly and difficult game, easy to get caught in a death loop. You go thru the game touching symbols to unlock doors to progress further. You have a big jump and a small jump if you hold the Fire button. No RNG in individual rooms, but the teleporter near the end is random, it is determined by the color of the giant diamond early in the run. I do not know when it gets set. The only room cycle I know for sure I am missing is the ring enemy in room 7, it was inconsistent with how you can get caught on the wall. This is a port of the ZX Spectrum original, and there are a bunch of other ports, but this felt more playable. RTA run - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhjrPsQJdHU

Total Eclipse, a 3D polygonal adventure game from 1988. The goal is to collect 5 Ankhs, activate 2 switches to open the door to the final boss, and beat the boss. There are 7 total Ankhs and opening a locked door uses one of them, so need to know exactly where to go or you can't finish. There is a great walktrhu on Gamefaqs that hugely helped routing, it has some great maps.

Just did an RTA run of this. I found an old TAS from 2016 on Nico. They don't do everything optimally, notably not grabbing the speedup in Stage 7, and I think my final boss is faster. Pretty tough RTA, a lot of the enemies are inconsistent, but maybe they can be manipulated. Exonym figure out the damage for the bubbles, they just scale by 1, so 1, 2, 3, 4. And it seems it's always worth spamming the basic shot if you can get multiple hits, instead of waiting to charge. Think it would be a cool TAS with all the boosts you can potentially do.

Draconus on C64, a short exploration platformer. Collect a few items then go to the final boss. I found a neat air jump glitch, if you hit the bottom of the screen while moving forward, you can buffer another jump thru the transition. This lets me skip picking up the transformation spell early. It is possible to skip it the 2nd time thru and air jump again, but to me it seemed slower than grabbing it on the way to the staff. I was able to screenwrap the map with air jumps but I didn't find a use for it. I also couldn't figure out how to get across the water one screen lower, if you could then it would probably be worth it to skip the transformation early.
