sparky. His runs were fairly unappreciated but really good. Also Dooty.

I'll throw in a nomination for zggzdydp as well, for probably the two most impressive MSX runs this year.

I'll also nominate Carl Sagan and diggidoyo for the sheer amount of entertainment they were able to pack into their first movies.

x2poet did all but one of the Arcade movies this year. No question.

I second aglar and agwawaf. Aglar participated in a few of the most impressive improvements of this year, such as SMB2. Agwawaf ended the Famtasia runs and had the magnificent quadrun. Though I'll also put in a nomination for zyr2288 for improving the Contra runs. That's no easy feat at all. Great year for NES TASes! EDIT: Somehow, I thought Gimmick! was run this year. I guess not.

My favorite is definitely [1842] GBA Mortal Kombat Advance "playaround" by AKheon in 16:32.02 Though I'll also nominate a few good ones: [1722] GBC Evel Knievel by Aqfaq in 15:03.12 [1865] NES A Boy and His Blob by Kyman, SilentSlayers & Aglar in 01:41.73 [1800] NES Bio Force Ape by RT-55J in 04:30.02 [1856] Genesis Normy's Beach Babe-o-Rama by NitroGenesis in 12:04.42

Yeah, I wanted to watch this earlier, but I've been on vacation and had less access to emulators. Thanks to antd's encode, though, I could check this out. And it was fun to watch, as was the last run. Yes vote. Also, I recommend a screenshot involving attacking the crotch of Dark Force III (like we suggested with the previous version). Otherwise, maybe it would be cool to have a picture of the attack on Dark Force III (or was it II?) that looks like it flattens him.

Thanks for the response! Based on what you said, this means a run using the check area glitch would still show a substantial amount of gameplay and strategy (deciding how to level, what glitching to use, etc.) In that case, I'd say an any% run should be allowed to use the check areas glitch.

Normally, I would watch this via the emulator, but I'm on vacation. Thanks, DarkKobold, for the temp encode! As for you, TheHepper, great job with your run! The game has a nice pace, and the resource management is impressive. Some other amusing things: * I like when you outrun an enemy who follows you for a while, even though the enemy's legs move twice as fast! (There are several examples of this in Chapter 3, for instance.) * The flying animation totally looks like the Rocketeer is farting fire. * Hottest video game credits kiss... at least for the NES. I have a few questions, though: * In Chapter 7, with all the big steel floors, why do you sometimes bounce a lot before going into a corridor? I saw this fairly early in the chapter. * Are there any glitches for embedding yourself in walls or obstacles? I was thinking it would be quite cool if you could get yourself into the trees in the forest chapter so that you don't have to keep zigzagging left and right. Great run, yes vote!

Incredible savings. The garbled mass of letters that occurs with the "Check Area" glitch is pretty awesome. Yes vote. As for using the check area glitch in a non-debug-mode run of Earthbound, would the glitch allow one to skip Giygas? Does anyone know that yet?

Wow. The zips in Marble Garden 3 and Star Light Zone 3 look really nice... I'm quite surprised the game allows you to enter the walls so easily. Yes vote. Also, wonderful job again, Aglar, with optimizing the hell out of a game.

Quite nice! It's a long run, but each of the stages is good. The cutscenes are pretty ridiculously elaborate. Is it possible to make a Lua script that fast-forwards cutscenes between stages?

Wow, nice! I was hoping someone would go and improve Shiru's attempt, as that was fun to watch. I had this on my list of games that I would try to TAS (if I ever finally got the motivation to learn to TAS properly). From what I recall, the boss fights look a lot better than those in Shiru's run. The ghost-dodging is also pretty good. Yes vote.

Nice improvement. I like the use of the Wide Shot and the better fights with the Notali. The post-fight entertainment was also a little better, especially at the beginning of the run. Also, good screenshot.

Very nice! I never found runs of this game particularly exciting, but you did a nice job with making the AI look stupid. The occasional diagonal wobbles and nifty boss fights were good too. Also, you win very hard at writing a submission text. "THE TAS HAVE STARTED TO IMPROVE!" indeed. Thanks also, sgrunt, for the movie file fix.

Not bad! The run looks more or less precise. There are many autoscrollers, but I thought they had good dancing. Also, this game has the world's ugliest tornado ;-) Yes vote. Also, this game reminds me a lot of The Smurfs. The music and some of the graphics are exactly the same.

i see some improvements but ill give you a "yes" like failing at the bonus levels to save time
sack_bot, if you notice carefully, feos collects 4 out of 5 canisters for every category except for the shield. Since you need all 5 canisters to win the powerup of that category, he does "fail" each category except shield. In effect, this is the same as what the published run did, since the shield power is a great help in the stages. Nice job with that stylistic choice, feos. I thought it was interesting to get so close to completing each category, as opposed to just completely missing all non-shield canisters.

nfq, the only time I noticed the glitch was during the prison escape. That skipped the hold out scene. After that, the game does not have the walk through wall glitch.
Actually, that glitch is used a lot in the published run. A number of keys in the second stage are not obtained, because the player instead walks through walls. There's some lighter usage of the glitch in the next few stages. But most importantly, a huge section of the last stage is skipped. I would say that a run of the last stage without the walk-through-walls glitch would easily be twice as long, if not longer. The issue is that with the glitch, the player can just go right to the escape ship. Without the glitch, the door to the ship doesn't open until you go back a ways, get the atomic charge, drop the atomic charge at the end of a cliff, and then run all the way back. I know I'd like to see Flashback without that glitch, but that last stage could get very boring without it... I don't know.

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.

I feel like this run was a little harder to follow than nitsuja's version, but it's a nice improvement. Good job! Speaking of Delphine Studios games, any interest in improving the Flashback run?

I'm not sure I liked the speed-entertainment tradeoffs in the Railway stage... you can only really do a bunch of dancing at the very beginning, and after that the stage is still fairly boring. However, you did a nice job on this run, and some boss battles look a lot better. It's good to see you finally got to do the run featuring your avatar :-) Yes vote. Any interest in the GB version of Zen?

I thought the first submission of this game was fairly funny. With less action, I don't really think so anymore. It's unfortunate sometimes how more optimization can remove entertainment. I'll go with Meh for similar reasons to moozooh. Good screenshot idea, though. I think it's funny if you imagine Grant is farting at the dinosaur.
