Thanks for the encode, Samsara! I wanted to comment more on this movie earlier, but my new computer has been having more issues watching these movies in the emulator. The game is fairly entertaining for a beat-em-up game. I'm quite impressed that so much time was saved on the shooter parts. The fighting looks pretty smooth, where you beat the last enemies on a screen just in time for the screen to scroll again. Xipo, you show up in the submissions rarely these days, but they're always good runs! Wasn't Double Dragon 2 your last run before this one? (That game really needs an updated 2-player run.)

Wow, that's an amazing improvement given how precise the old run is. Even if it's only 27 frames, that's just a bit less than 1% of the total movie length.

Thanks for the answers in your earlier post, xy2_. I was talking about the last boss and how you did not glitch past the twins. After watching this again, I had a better impression of the run. This run really shows off how well Osman moves dispatching all the enemies quickly. I still have no idea about how to deal with the publishing decision, though.

Wow. That was incredibly action-packed. If I'm noticing this correctly, are you destroying early bosses faster because you get more powerups earlier? I'm not sure that a maximum-score run is different enough from the published run to get its own category. Although you fight more kinds of enemies, those extra fights usually aren't very interesting. I didn't like how, in the fights against Cannon and Wilff, you had to spend a lot of time circling around the arena to destroy the enemies on the side before fighting the bosses. I also notice that you don't glitch out any of the bosses, especially the final fight. Does that actually improve your score, or was it just a style choice? I liked the movie, so I'm going to vote Yes, but I'm not entirely sure how publishable it is.

Great movie description in the publication! The movie is alright too. It's sort of refreshing to see more than one hit being used to finish opponents.

That was surprisingly entertaining for a beat-em-up with a few platforming elements. I'm glad you took the chance to show off Spawn's moves without losing time. The end of the game was especially more interesting. One question, though: how in the world does that power meter work in the upper-right? I can't figure out what all the colons are doing in that display. And are there ways to refill that meter without dying?

Wow, that music is pretty fun. The game looks incredibly silly, but the stage design actually looks alright. On the one hand, the run does go by pretty smoothly. On the other hand, it's still fairly repetitive. The music really helped my enjoyment of the game. But I think I'm going to have to vote Meh here.

As someone who left a lot of comments on the published run's discussion forum, I'm quite happy to see an improvement here. I haven't had a chance to see this yet, and it's a bit of a shame that there weren't more strategy changes that paid off. Good job anyway at optimizing a laggy game.

My comments are about the same as Synahel. It's a neat route choice, and the final fight is awesome even though it's long. It's cool to see that we finally know much more about the RNG. I also liked seeing the strategic use of the arrow drops during the grinding phase, as it made the grinding less repetitive. I'd be curious to see a "boss rush" style demonstration that uses the charm doors to fight all the bosses at this absurdly low-leveled situation. (Well, every one except the Zombie Dragon with his long phases underground.) This wouldn't be a good category for submission though. A few questions: 1) Are the charm doors a legit feature of the game, instead of a debug code kind of thing? 2) Would an any% run improvement without charm doors or Tasmanian Sword (like the currently published run) still use the swimming glitch? It's a pretty major glitch, but it's not game-breaking.

Radiant: Good point. This version is, for me, a lot less interesting than the NES version. The run is smooth enough, however. The boss fights make me think of this game as being a poor man's version of Batman Return of the Joker. Yes vote.

This is great. Finally, this run has an up-to-date Turbo Tunnel skip in level 3. There are some amazing changes elsewhere too. Of course, this raises the question of how many runs Battletoads should have. The any% and the 2-player warpless, I think, are pretty agreed-upon categories. Is this run valuable enough to be published separately from those other two? (This may just be a case of a legacy category that was more historically interesting, like the Princess SMB2 run.) One strategy question: why don't you recover your walker stick to fight Big Blag in stage 5? Each time you headbutt him, he pauses the game with his landing. If you took one of his small jumps as time to get the stick back, you can juggle him with the stick and keep him from landing.

Wow, this is a long submission text. The movie is pretty cool. It has the same issue as the run from two years ago for me: the repeated glitching means that the strategies for basically all the levels look the same. I can't decide which game has better bosses, though I'm glad that weakness weapons actually have an effect here. (Why did they take that away for the sequel, honestly?) Yes vote.

Whoa, what happened with those last two lives? Why wasn't the screen scrolling properly? I'm sorry to see, I don't think I saw any kappas here. No greek letters, no Koopas, and no sea turtles that eat children and sea cucumbers (if my understanding of the Japanese kappa is correct here). There also weren't any similar-sounding words, like cowpies.

I just popped over to the forums and saw your recent post, adelikat. I haven't had a chance to watch the movie, but I wholeheartedly encourage an improvement on this movie! This game always felt like one of the more watchable RPGs on the site with the character variety and fairly straightforward goals. I'm not too picky about wall-bumping sounds. It throws a little variety into the music. Besides, it's sort of cool to know that you can bump walls without losing time. If you can finish this, consider it a testament to the power of improved TAS tools and techniques.

Hmm, not a bad movie. The character's walking and jumping is incredibly awkward though. There are a lot of autoscrollers, but they don't last that long. I liked seeing the little forward boosts in the submarine. The boss fights and the last stage were the highlights for me. I had not heard of the Akakage game before, and there's not much about it on Wikipedia. However, I think you're right about this game being a copy. The title screens look incredibly similar, and the games are both partially made by Toei Studios and have the same music composer. I'm wondering though; if the ninja Akakage was supposed to be a character in feudal Japan, then how did he fight robots and ride a submarine?

As Pokota said, welcome! Don't be too discouraged from this attempt; there are definitely more ways to practice. It's just that the Workbench is not the place for that. Also, make sure to look up other people's work too. Any submission should generally beat all known existing records.

Thanks baddap1. That's a lot better. It also ends input much earlier.

Wow, that's a pretty choppy bootleg game. I'm curious how it lets you go straight to Bowser. You say that only some carts would allow that? Is that an issue with game version? However, the run has some sloppy mistakes. As scrimpeh said, you do not need mushrooms in the Bowser fight, so you don't waste time with the power-up animation. I think I spotted at least two other mistakes: * In the cage room, you should drop off the cage earlier and run more to the door. Your running speed is higher than your climbing speed. * In the last long room before Bowser, you stun a Mechakoopa in front of you and briefly pick it up before discarding it. Why don't you keep it with you and use it to kill the next two Ninji (the black star-shaped enemies)? That means you can jump less.

Amazing job. This run is frantic but somehow produces a workable solution in each stage. I liked one playaround where your cursor followed the flooz at the end, and the end stages get nuts with the long paths and the wraparound parts of the grid. How did you end up getting the flooz to start faster? Also, if I'm not mistaken, this is absolutely optimal, right? You use exactly the minimum number of pipes in each map and start the flooz at max speed each time. I couldn't tell if any time was being spent for RNG manipulation, if that's even possible in this game. Without a new game exploit, there shouldn't be any way to improve this time-wise.

Jungon: is there any convenient way in the warped run to get that many potions? That snow boss is super slow where the detour for potions might be worth the time, but I'm not sure. You may want to ask this as well in the discussion for the recently published 100% run. That run may be more likely to get extra potions.

Ok. Hey, if you want to do these runs, that's your right. Is there any simple reason why different throws took different time? Only one fight was done in under 1s of game time, and there's one fight with a very noticeable pause in front of the CPU before the throw. On entertainment, I'm between Meh and No, since the fast rounds just feel underwhelming. Oh well.

Thank you, Guga! The run seems pretty good. I don't know arukAdo's run well enough to spot most of the differences in movement, but I did notice the use of axes. This kind of run is a little more interesting than the Richter runs since Maria has several ways of dominating bosses instead of just a single Hydro Storm. Yes vote.

The Brookman: it shouldn't matter. If the only gameplay difference is a few hits on Somulo, just chalk that up to a known improvement. I'd say both versions should be considered acceptable if we know the time difference due to version changes.

Nice! I was able to fast-forward most of the second half, since a lot of it is the same as the warp run (except for some changes with the invisibility potions). The first part of the game was more interesting than I expected. It seems you actually get more complicated goals in the stage, and you fight more battles. Some of the battles are repetitive, but the movie has a good pace.

Great job! The Earth boss is a major improvement. The snow boss is still really slow, but you do a good job playing around while waiting for it.
