Wow, the puns. They may have been a little overboard in the submission text. I'm pretty impressed to see more puns introduced in this forum too, especially by people who don't speak English as their first language. Language-based jokes are hard to do for second languages... Anyway, nice job optimizing this run. I slightly prefer the tadpole fight to the crab fight, but they're both better than the original run.

You missed the chance to say "radjecting" in the judgment, Mothrayas.

If you want to go ahead with an all-boss run, more power to you! That would be really great, since the boss fights are already the highlight of runs of this game. Also, recording from SRAM or reset usually isn't a problem, especially since this movie verifies the save file. But I may not know exactly what I'm talking about... I'm sure other people could help with that in the Demon's Crest thread.

I don't blame you for the strategy on that wolf. If that's the only really repetitive fight, that's a good thing! As for DD, no worries. I was mostly gauging interest.

I'm really happy to see the tornado "platform weapon" get its due. I haven't really played this game, but I played a lot of the NES prequel, and I had been a major proponent of that weapon in the discussion forums for that game. It's also nice to see how that weapon prevents you from getting as many delays from starting and stopping flying that you would have done with Aerial Gargoyle. The first wolf boss was the only boring fight. The strategy changes are really refreshing. The swimming was a lot better too. I liked the little bits of swag thrown in as well, like your freakout before the fire boss (now used in your profile pic). Great job! EDIT: Would you be interested in a Dark-Demon-only Newgame+ run? There was discussion about one for a while in the published movie's thread.

Twisted Eye: Sticky's old submission was a 9-game run, so technically it has different goals :-) This run does its job just fine but only on one ROM, I guess.

For some reason, a lot of the jokes are pot-related. This feels like an IRC inside joke. Nice job with the text art though.

I was surprised to actually find myself entertained by this. There's a good stretch in the middle when you're down by a few points and you think "there's no way a stationary player can catch up in score". This is a great demonstration of ending input early. I voted Yes, but it was pretty borderline in entertainment. The fact that this kind of run is possible is frankly more interesting than the run itself. However, I'd say this should be Vault eligible, and it's a great April Fools run!

This is one of the more hilarious uses of a Game End glitch. I especially like two Maxims walking through Tia's shop. It's a shame the credits start with the music stuck on that song, but I'll take it. There's a good manageable amount of WTF here. Nice going!

This is well-played, but it's less interesting than the two-player run with many fewer shortcuts. The action is easier to understand this time, but I'd rate it more as a Meh vote than a Yes vote.

This is what it would look like if Fantasy Zone were made into a platformer. It still doesn't look like there's any meaningful plot, but there's a lot of fast flying. Good job!

The subtitles in the fm2 were incredible on this. Great job. There were some especially poignant descriptions in the Abyss, and thank you for the words at the end of the movie. I feel like if another video is made for TASVideos to advertise the site, the message there may be a good ender for it. I have not played this game before, but it was great to see how many things fell into place in this run. The level of planning is incredible. Yes vote.

Good job. It's good to see a second type of jump getting used. You make this game look a lot easier than it really is.

Strange game. I finally got some time to watch it, and it reminds me more of The Goonies 2 than the first Spelunker game. This character is pretty fast, but it still feels like it takes him a long time to get through stages. He doesn't get much chance to attack enemies without losing time. The stage design starts to feel monotonous after some time. It's a good run for the game, but I came to this expecting to see something as frantic as the original Spelunker. By those standards, it was disappointing. I had to go with Meh on entertainment.

Good game. It's got the general feel of Pugsley's Scavenger Hunt, and the stages seem pretty good. There's an unfortunate amount of lag most of the times you shoot records to break blocks. The camera motion makes no sense to me; why does it always keep you at the edge of the screen? Also, the record-collecting "Yeah" sound from Super Adventure Island is horrible. You do a good job with the route and keeping the run entertaining! Yes vote.

Alright, I watched the run. I agree that it is not 100%. It uses the same category as the published run. It's a good run, though! There isn't that much Out Of Bounds stuff to be seen in this run, because the glitch only works when the character is not loaded yet (I think). That was a little disappointing. However, the new route at the start of the game looks good, and the bosses look better. I have a couple questions: 1) Why do you visit that first stage twice before using the warp spell? It looks like you get the potions you need from the second visit. 2) Do you need to ride a flying creature to fight the air boss? I wondered if you could save time by just hovering near him with your weapons.

Ok, I finished watching this. Spectacular job. Storm Eagle's stage is hilarious now, with all the glitchy platform action near the capsule. Is this the only capsule where you can glitch out the message?

Currently, I've only watched the first two stages, but I'm already really impressed with the little strategies and lag removal. For instance, I'm not sure anyone has ever ended the intro stage before by jumping off a broken car to get that enemy before Vile killed sooner. The Shotgun Ice usage in Boomer Kuwanger was really elegant to remove lag. I'm sure I'll be even more excited to see the bigger changes later! (This post will probably be updated later with comments on that.) EDIT: If you did Boomer Kuwanger's stage first, without the dash upgrade, you wouldn't be able to pull off the jump to get the heart tank. Thus, you'd have to do a revisit anyway. I'm not sure, though, if it would otherwise save time to do Boomer Kuwanger first.

I have not watched this yet; when I get home and have my emulators, I'll watch this. I'm very excited about it, since these sound like very big improvements! What counts as 100%, though? Is there a way to do an "any%" run that visits fewer stages? Bon travail, zoboner!

I don't know if I find this "entertaining" exactly, but it's a great dose of WTF. I'm glad I watched the run before reading comments. Also, what DrJones said. It's too short a run to go into Meh territory, so I'm voting Yes.

It took me quite a long time to find enough free time to watch this whole thing. It's a great technical achievement. While I do like the game, I am voting Meh on entertainment. The main problem, for me, is that the new items and content doesn't show off much new gameplay. The Culex fight is cool at first, but then you just jump on him a lot. There are very few extra sidequests you have to do, since the any% run already has pretty much all of the plot. Some of the item tasks are really boring, like playing Look The Other Way 100 times and using the Lamb's Lure so often in Bowser's Keep. (On the plus side, I like seeing the Lazy Shell get used.) Is this a great run on its own? Yes. Is it a great run in comparison to the any% run? I don't think it's as entertaining.

This is absolutely a great glitch exhibition. The completion time is much lower than I would ever imagine for this game. However, I find myself sort of disappointed by this. This is broken beyond the level of the TTYD run. It seems you have almost no restrictions in where you can clip and go out of bounds, especially after you get Lakilester. You repeat a cutscene three times over, so there's less variety in the scenery you get to explore. And because you don't fight any bosses until the very end, there's really not much demonstration of a leveling strategy or different fight approaches. I like the run, and I voted Yes, but I can't help but feel like this isn't even close to being Paper Mario anymore. Now, if there's another style of run being planned in the future which completes more of the game, I'm quite keen to see that.
Used to be a frequent submissions commenter. My new computer has had some issues running emulators, so I've been here more sporadically. Still haven't gotten around to actually TASing yet...

There are two shorter submissions than this, I think: * Alden submitted a Minesweeper run in 28 frames. * Sticky's "9-game run" of Barney only had a handful of frames as input. However, this is arguably the fastest complete game run. It's ridiculous how quick it goes. I'm not sure if that really makes it entertaining though... I'm voting Meh. I have no objection to it being in Moons for sheer novelty value.

I'm basically echoing the crowd here. I admit I was amused by the chibi-fied versions of the characters for a bit (especially Potemkin). This once again suffers from the issue that good manipulation and technical skill is more boring to watch; if anything, the time spent dodging Testament's attacks is more interesting even though it's slower. Thanks also to FractalFusion for the encode!
