I have to admit that I can't really recognize what route choices are made when watching with a camhack; even though I can see the scenery, everything's still a mental blur. However, it's a fun and awesome blur. It's very impressive to see improvements to this game. Nice job! Also, Flygon and Mister Epic, much thanks with the encodes. They really help a lot with this run in particular. The current uploaded YouTube video seems like great quality.

This was pretty nice to watch. The rock-throwing shortcut in Level 1 was quite cool, and I really like the new last boss fight. The second boss fight feels a little slower, but I may just be seeing things. Yes vote.

MUGG: Sunsoft does make some pretty good games, though I didn't realize until now they did games based on Looney Tunes characters. I remember them more for things like Batman and Trip World. (Seriously, it seems like you can pick out which games are from Sunsoft based on music alone.) As for this run, I was pretty amused by Kyman's previous submission, and this is even better. Even when you're just walking, the cartoon style is entertaining. Good job with making the most out of panic runs too!

Great job, Mro314, but I can't vote yes to this game in good conscience. I'm amused, but there's just not enough content, and the run is too similar to an unassisted run (sort of like the latest submission for Myst DS).

When I download the emulator movie file released with this publication, only marzojr's name is in the filename. However, the published run still lists Nitsuja and Upthorn as authors. Did we come to a consensus yet as to whether or not enough of their original input survives to be still given author credit on this movie? (No disrespect meant to either Nitsuja or Upthorn; they set the standards for what a great glitchy run of this game would be like.)

Epic. It's also surprising how much time you actually save from fewer inventory items. Nice discovery as well with the kicking hitbox. It's definitely not worth going back to the bomb in level 1 with this trick: you could always leave that as a potential improvement for anyone else who wants to try this game. Only one thing looked off to me: the pistons. With some pistons, you seem to pass by with hardly any ducking at all (a little on each side), and with some you stay ducking for a while. What influences that? Is it possible to duck maybe every other frame instead and slightly move forward while the piston is coming down? Once again, great work! I'd also be interested to see whether dying on the bottom screws saves time in the end.

Alright, I'm voting Yes and recommending publication alongside the current MK2 run, for these reasons: * This run shouldn't obsolete the current MK2 run, since it doesn't have as many characters, combo variety, or amusing glitches to show off. Also, it is a worse port. * That being said, this run does show different things from the published run. The published run demonstrates lots of combos, whereas this run feels more like a "slapstick" run to me with amusing play between the characters. * There's lots of glitchiness and silliness that could be put into MK runs, but any one run would be too long if it had all of the glitches and stunts in it. There's plenty of room for two average-length runs to demonstrate more of MK2's playaround potential. (For instance, UMK3 recently got its second published run.)

Interesting! I played this port when I was younger, and it's definitely fairly bad-looking compared to the SNES version. However, I was amused to see what you could do with it. The fights are generally pretty funny, though they don't necessarily have the "masterful" look that the fights for the published run do. This may be a good or bad thing. (For instance, I loved the frozen Bicycle Kick in the Shao Kahn fight where he gets a cheap shot at you.) Some of the glitched fatalities are also pretty awesome, like the Dragon Dance. The strength of this movie, compared to the published MK2 run, is its length. There are fewer characters and less fanfare for fatalities. I think most of the normal battles are more amusing in this run. The glitched fatalities tend to happen more quickly since you don't have to set up a Johnny Cage missed shot (like the SNES run does). The weaknesses, though, are having fewer fatalities and variety to use, no colors, slower gameplay, and horrible sound. I can't yet decide what to vote, since this may come down to answering the question "Does this have to obsolete the currently-published run if it is published?" In any case, thank you for making it!

Ok, I finished watching the run. One odd thing is that I watched some of this last night and some this morning, and in between that time, the video quality on the Nicovideo link got a lot worse. Anyway, this run isn't as interesting as the recently published run, since there's less variety of player choice and no other opponents on the field. However, the game is still good, and the later races are definitely more exciting with all the hard turns barely missing walls and pits. This still merits a weak Yes vote.

Henke37: I think that's too harsh a reaction. I would more likely guess that a verification movie exists but wasn't submitted with the movie, either because of an error or because the author didn't know they were supposed to provide one. So anyway, sparky, do you have a movie you could provide to prove the SRAM was created legitimately? I'll edit this with comments about the run later. However, I'm pretty surprised how much shorter this is than the recently published run. How much time was saved due to skipping cutscenes?

This movie was published, but it isn't showing up on the front page.

Is it possible that the enemy that killed you is luck-manipulated by extra walking? If so, you may be able to get it to fire more conveniently by altering what you do with your playaround waiting for the platforms. Anyway, looking forward to World 2's completion! This looks great so far.

Nice! I was very glad to see this on the queue, as I'd played this game a lot growing up. I was worried it would look too repetitive flying all the time with the jet hat. However, it ended up being quite entertaining: * I found myself guessing the coin routes, smiling inside when you hit those multiples of 10 at the right moments. * Boss fights were great, especially the ghost and the floating head. * Flying by the spikes with their bad hitboxes :-) * Stage 33 Although a 100% run would be much cooler and harder, this still belongs on the site. Yes vote, and nice job!

Rolanmen1: wait, don't you mean his TASing skills ARE good? That would make more sense the way you phrased the sentence.

It's a shame that in this game version, the only attack (with a few exceptions) you really do is that big punch, as opposed to headbutts and such. Also, the autoscrollers are definitely slower than the NES version, and the run isn't very glitchy. However, it was still pretty sweet, moved at a good pace, and Zitz running on his head is hilarious. Yes vote.

Hi wwmarx, I just have a couple questions: * In the first stage of World 2, you travel on a couple slow-moving platforms in a tunnel near the bottom before getting a blue crystal. You then ride the platforms all the way back. Is it possible to die instead of doing the ride back, where you respawn to the left with the crystal? * In Eruption Disruption of World 4, there seems to be another area where you have to ride backwards a long way after getting a crystal. Does death make that faster? Other than that, this is fairly good. I think it's sort of funny how, like with the Prince Of Persia Sands Of Time game, this is a GBA game which is modeled after a well-known 3D game, but then the GBA game tends to feel totally different since it's not 3D most of the time. Anyway, Yes vote. P.S. To update your movie, you should just ask one of the higher-ranked staff members to replace the file. That's the best thing to do when the change is small.

Nice work. The elevator glitch is really funny each time. I was going to say that the second death seemed a little dubious, but you found that out too. As for the one health point, does it save time to die from the rotating screws in World 3? You tend to wait a while for some of those screws, and maybe invinciblity after dying would help.

Thanks for bringing that up. I tried a little edit which should sound a little better. If you have a different description to suggest, just post it here and I'm sure some editor will get to it. Alternately, you could become an editor yourself :-)

I found this marginally more interesting than the regular Skyroads movie, and it's definitely more difficult. I approve of publishing this alongside the regular game.

I didn't play this game when younger, so I don't really have any nostalgia for it. However, I liked it enough when the first run was submitted (the game certainly looked easier than it probably was). This improved run seems largely the same to me, but that's probably the repetitiveness of the overall game. That being said, though, good job with the improvements and tweaks, so here's a Yes vote.

Thanks for the encode! The lack of music is very off-putting with this run. I don't know why it bothers me more for this game than it does for Duke Nukem Episode 1 or for Commander Keen, but it does. (Amazing how back then, background music wasn't the default... remember Chip's Challenge?) I can get over the lack of music given how short the run is. The more annoying factor is the lack of running. Most Mario games are more interesting because Mario is hurtling himself at obstacles and making it out without damage or stopping. Here, outside of the piranha pipe in Level 2, that level of danger doesn't look as evident. There was enough variety in this run, though, that I think this deserves a weak Yes vote.

Thanks for posting the encode! I'm amused by the amount of mayhem you can cause (especially knocking trucks 3 times your size into water and sand), but the game is just too repetitive after a point. I could go either way about getting it published, so Meh.

That was pretty awesome! I wish that the white-screen glitch didn't last as long as it did... it was distracting after some time. However, the fighting is quite awesome, and the best part for me is all the messing around with two Sub-Zeros. Yes vote!

Another reason for preferring the NES version would be that the SNES version has extra animation of Mario pausing at the castle doors whenever he ends a level. That extra time adds up over the course of the run. This may be a minor annoyance, but it's worth pointing out. Just to check: do we actually have Mars's permission for this run to be submitted? Also, HappyLee, great job working with new TASers! Whether or not this run gets accepted in the end, the work is definitely impressive.

Wow, way to add to the epic weekend of submissions! This is a crazy run through and through. It's hilarious how spastic JXQ-rolling looks. Screenshot suggestions: * That one spot in Tanked Up Trouble where you jumproll in place waiting for the Zingers to fly by. * Running with K. Rool, where Diddy is in front and DK is in back. If it wasn't obvious already, Yes vote. By the way, why not call your "right trick" the "exit early" trick? That's its main purpose, after all.
