Aw man, by taking out the theme music, they took out the best part of Cheetahmen. And somehow, they made the game look even clunkier... Can homebrew games / unofficial games get to Vault if they don't qualify for Moon or Star?

Aw man, I knew I should've actually submitted a run before now. Then I could've ended up as part of this incredible project! Also, RIP zidanax...

I admit that I can't really tell the differences between any runs of this game. They're all so amazingly fast and hard to follow in a good way. The LUA script displays were pretty cool though. (I couldn't understand the Japanese subtitles, but it's still awesome that you made subtitles for Nicovideo.) Yes vote!

The run looks pretty fun. However, the submission describes potentially six seconds of improvement from better luck manipulation. For a run which is this short, that is a significant amount of savings. More should be done here to see whether that timesaver is possible.

It's cool to see an Atari game I'd never heard of before, but this really does feel like a poorer version of Donkey Kong. There's just so much less to dodge, though I don't know if that's due to manipulating enemies away. The technical quality seems good enough, though. In that regard, if you were using this for training, I'd say you succeeded. I am going to give this a Meh vote for entertainment, leaning towards No.

Very good! I don't remember the previous Knuckles run that well, but I liked this. It's fun to see Knuckles punching all the time to keep momentum. (I almost think it would be best to have a screenshot of him punching Mecha Knuckles.) Angel Island 1's crazy route and Egg Rocket 1 were definitely the highlights. Yes vote! One question though: some of the bosses end with Robotnik crashing and burning near the left side of the screen. He seems to take longer leaving the screen that way. Is it possible for any of the "death animations" to take place further to the right, if that would even help?

Even if the game is awkward-looking, the character does move pretty quickly. This could be an ok game for a full run. We've had games with really frustrating physics models before. (Simpsons Bart vs. The Space Mutants comes to mind as one of the ones where the physics sucks, and that makes the run less interesting instead of more.)

Hey, this wasn't as bad as I feared from a game made entirely out of repeated bonus games. The first two days of each week (the building dive and the car crash) were pretty cool. The fourth (the bomb factory) is fairly boring, but I actually liked the ship piloting. The third day was alright; it never lasted too long. I think the game is fine if watched in segments, but it gets long when watched all at once. It's probably one of the technically simpler LJN games, and it seems less poorly designed ;-) I'd say Meh vote.

I like this run too, but I liked the Australia run more. This course had more cool hole-in-ones, and it was interesting to see the putter used at the end. However, the bounces were crazier in the other run, and the Longest Drive competition in this one felt less impressive. One thing I noticed is the "Level-4" on the bottom of the screen. Does that mean this game can be played with a harder difficulty? Would that make a better run to increase the difficulty? In the meantime, I vote Yes. It's somebody else's problem to figure out how many branches we want. I'm ok with one run per course, but maybe it makes more sense to have one run only aim for fastest time and another aim for more entertainment.

I'm glad to finally see a run of this in the submission queue, and this is definitely pretty optimized-looking. That King Boo fight was spectacular. Yes vote.

What an odd game. I like the idea of a complex open-ended map for a GB game. The room titles annoyed me at first, but they stopped being less of a problem later on. My favorite title was "Death Room". The way Franky runs, he's more like Maui Mallard than a traditional Frankenstein monster. He's pretty nimble. I have to say, though, that this isn't as interesting as the NES Addams Family run (even though that game is probably crappier). It's just much harder to tell what's going on in this one when you don't see an on-screen health bar or any completion indicator (like the cash in Addams Family). I saw that every so often, some meter would be filled when you teleport, but I couldn't figure the rest out. The run was definitely fast but tough to follow, and unfortunately it's tough to follow in a bad way. I voted Meh on the run. I think this could be much cooler, though, if there were subtitles or other supplements to indicate completion, major roles of items you pick up, and so forth.

Thanks for the encode. I can see how the choice of the SNES version is definitely faster, since it allows you more use of nunchuks. However, this also makes the fights incredibly repetitive. I'm also not really sure what the point of the bonus rounds is... are you supposed to attack the bars that you just dodge? I have to say No for entertainment.

After watching this, I've decided I'm fine with the debug code. It also allows a much more entertaining route with the pause glitches. The code is also not the focus of the run, unlike Saturn's run. It really adds to the overall WTF factor. The glitchy running across the screen looks great. I'm giving this a Yes vote. I don't have any suggestions, though, about what happens to the current any% run if this is published. I recommend keeping that run and this run published as separate categories, but I could see the case for obsoletion as well.

To refill the character's magic meter. At his level, he can only cast Fairy once without refills, and Fairy is needed to do that ceiling glitch. That's how he avoids picking up the Glove to break blocks.

I haven't seen this run yet (it sounds awesome), but I'm a little concerned about the use of the GT Code. Part of the reason Saturn's GT-code run wasn't published is because it was considered a debug feature or cheat code rather than a proper glitch. I can see why the code is unavoidable here, but I'd be curious to see how we can justify its use. My thinking was that the latest Earthbound runs have finished the game quickly by triggering debug menus, so that's set a precedent for allowing those kinds of exploits.

Dana Carvey plays Garth. Wayne is played by Mike Meyers, the guy who was later Austin Powers and Shrek. Man it's been a long time since I've seen this movie, I'll have to give it another watch!
Oh duh, my mistake. Yeah... but anyway, I liked Garth better than Wayne in the movie.

TASeditor: I'm not sure you quite answered Derakon's question completely. You don't actually use the hammer to take that second route to the hammer area. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're saying that the second route is only worthwhile as long as you also visit the red bottle cave. Anyway, great job with this! The death abuse to replenish magic was wholly unexpected. Yes vote.

For the record, the movie is way more interesting than the game. It's pretty silly humor, but Dana Carvey does a good job playing Wayne Garth. There's a pretty well-known scene with guys singing with and headbanging to Bohemian Rhapsody in a car. As for the game, your description of the run is more fun than the run itself. However, you found some nice gimmicks, such as canceling landing animations by having Garth shoot a lot. I actually think the most interesting parts were some of the Wayne gameplay, like kicking the camera screens and the high-jumps at the end (although those parts were painful to play). Meh vote, and I'd say this is slightly more interesting than the currently published run, but it's not enough for a Yes. EDIT: TwistedEye caught a mistake in my first post with the movie characters.

This is probably the first time I've actually seen a 1-player run ever since Sleepz's TAS... I never played the game 1P myself. I forgot Roxy's message was so different. Is her message very different using Ryan versus using Alex? (I thought Cyndi was Alex's girlfriend, for instance.) For that matter, why use Ryan instead of Alex? The fights are spiffy, and it's amazing how fast they are. The Ivan fight got a little boring but it was short. The trashcan exploit was awesome against the twins though. Yes vote for a separate branch.

Good luck on a full-stages version! We do have a good full-stage movie of the original game you may be able to use for reference.

Not bad! I wasn't as impressed, it seems, as some other people in the thread were. It's pretty good technically for an SMS game, but the stages were either autoscrollers or they felt like a bad version of Prince of Persia. I don't think it helped that there was only one fight at the end, and it was repetitive. I think you played well, but I feel the game only deserves a Meh for entertainment leaning towards No.

This is a prettier game than Tekken 2. The animation is more fluid, and it's good to see Yoshimitsu can do his attack a little faster. That being said, it's not a funny enough attack to stay interesting the whole way through. It's a good Vault movie though.

I was going to improve Kid Dracula for GB. It seems I was beaten to it, though, with a recent awesome run by Hetfield90 and StarvinStruthers. (http://tasvideos.org/2928M.html.) Thanks to goofydylan8 for running Gargoyle's Quest 2 because I mentioned the game! (http://tasvideos.org/2001M.html) Thanks to feos and MESHUGGAH for taking up runs of Duck Tales 2 because of my old signature! Thanks also to Samsara for finishing a Treasure Master run.

Nice, another Wizardry game gets beaten to a pulp in only about a minute. I would not have expected this level of glitchiness from a Super NES game in the series. The scripting is great here too, especially the map picture. I was amused for that one minute, so Yes vote.

Since it now says "this category obsoletes", it's perfectly ok even for a few future runs in the same branch..
That change was my doing after the comments above. Glad to see the wording works for people.
