It's not much of a change to the old run, but it's still fun nonetheless. Yes vote.

Also, marioprincess, Ferret Warlord also beat this movie's time by 1.7 seconds. He did it on the US ROM though... I don't know if there are any real differences. In any case, the game is not considered worth publishing. In the future, please do a search of the site before submitting.

I found the run to be alright. It is a shame, though, how the increased flying makes the run faster (by making fewer jumps) but also makes the run more repetitive and obnoxious. I think it's a solid enough game for a Yes vote, but your mileage may vary.

Welcome, y479021776. This is an ok choice of game to speedrun. However, this run is extremely unoptimized. For instance, in the first few stages, you rarely move towards the lower-left before the next stage starts, even though it's faster to be close to the bottom-left. I have to vote No on this. If you'd like to revise this run, you should aim for more precision. 238 rerecords is not enough to make a precise half-hour movie. Also, you may wish to see the site's original Bubble Bobble run for some other ideas. EDIT: The run also looks like you recorded this on full speed. Generally TAS movies here are recorded with frame advance.

Thanks for the encodes, guys! I couldn't really get into this game much. The music sucks, and the action in most of the platforming stages seems pretty bland. It almost felt like a worse version of Commander Keen. The driving stages were pretty cool though. Meh.

It's not the most exciting puzzle game, but the puzzle action is tricky to follow, which makes the playing look even more impressive (Tetrisphere, anyone?). The last rounds also look pretty crazy, and the length is appropriate for the type of game. Good job!

For the record, I think the Famicom version of the Lost Levels doesn't have worlds A through D of the Super NES version. That would be a reason why the Super NES version is used for that run. As for this run, I haven't watched it yet; I'll edit in comments when I do.

Thanks for the extra nicovideo link, Sonikkustar! It seems that another SaGa game has been mutilated by horrible glitches. I couldn't really tell what in the world was happening, but you're at the end of the game in two minutes. It reminds me of the Pokemon Yellow runs, but this one actually has one fight (that seems to be over absurdly quickly too) and is in a language I don't understand. I think it still deserves a Yes vote, though.

Finally got around to watching this. It's really poetry in motion. I don't know the game horribly well, but some solutions still felt fairly fresh. I especially liked Courses 6 and 8, as well as Extra 8 (I was also fond of the strategies where taking damage actually helped make Kirby faster). It was also cool to see a different strategy for the final fight. Yes vote.

Ryu looks so awkward in this game, like he's always about to fall over. However, this was a fairly pleasant watch. It's nice to see that you don't get the same knockback from damage that the other Ninja Gaiden games are known for. Out of curiosity, though, would it have been better to save more weapon power for the last form of the final boss? The shots from that boss seem like they produce a lot of lag, so I would've guessed the weapon power would pay off most there. EDIT: Zeupar, I finally caught why your screenshot couldn't be used ;-) I'm amused that a Spanish ROM synced just fine.

Is it possible to make a lua script that fast-forwards all the score tallies and hole-in-one animations? Anyway, I can't watch this run yet, though hopefully I'll have seen it by the end of the day and will edit my comments here. I've been looking forward to this, and it's pretty awesome to save multiple seconds on each course due to better optimization.

Nice improvements, DarkKobold! Except from a little extra lag, the use of the bomb early in the game was cool to watch. It was also funny to see power wines dropping everywhere when a boss was beaten. The only concern I have is whether more bombs should have been used in the later portions of the run (for instance, against Deatharte when you have to back away from the green cloud), but this still looks quite solid. Yes vote for chopping minutes off of an already speedy run.

I find it funny how audience reception to this game is so lackluster given how much positive feedback the Spiderman 3 run got. The games have fairly similar paces, though this one is a little tougher to stay interested in. However, I was definitely entertained, and the game certainly demonstrates superhero-style speed. Yes vote.

I wouldn't worry about that one frame. The water bouncing does look better. Did your oxygen meter work more like you wanted it to? Also, by the way, the WIP ends with Scooter dying on spikes next to the big springboard, instead of bouncing on that springboard. I don't know that was what was supposed to happen.

Wow, well done! The REMO usage is definitely the highlight of the run. I was especially a fan of one time where you used a trampoline just so you could start falling with a faster speed afterward (essentially, you used it to do a really high prejump). I'm definitely looking forward to the rest.

I edited the front page to include the links to the savestates that Marzojr used in the submission comments. It seemed like an important thing to make available to people to run the movie (especially since there are two links, depending on your emulator version). If these links turn out unnecessary, then another editor can delete them.

Pretty nice improvement! The game looks fairly slow, though I guess that makes sense if it's a game where one hit kills you if you're not powered up. (So, in fact, going for as long as you do with just the basic suitcase is fairly cool.) Also, this time around, it was a little more interesting since you could jump on birds and such. I'm a little surprised at your vehicle choice for bosses though. You didn't use the car on the first two land bosses and didn't use the tank until the very last boss. Is there not enough extra damage from these vehicles to be worth it to use them?

Well, given that you also TASed Otocky, you might just be the guy who likes to play games where you shoot balls ;-) Seriously, though, this was pretty spiffy. I was most a fan of the parts where you barely got things to go your way: * Once, you looked like you had a ball that was going to fall straight down the center, but then another ball hit it safely out of the way onto a flipper. * You had a ball shot up the center ramp which was a bit short of power, but then it made it over the ramp by using a table shake. The length was also appropriate for this type of game. Nice job!

Thanks for the response, jerfo. I don't understand why the designers felt compelled to make Stage 5 so long, where you go past the boss statues before refighting the bosses (seriously, let's make Bonk walk a little longer at slow speeds). Outside of that, and the slow swimming, this run was pretty awesome. It became a game of "How long can Bonk stay off the ground?" Nice job!

Thanks for the encode, Mister Epic! I haven't finished this run yet, but it does look pretty good! However, I have to ask: why don't you grab more meat for boss fights? I can see that when you get backwards recoil off of bonking plants, you move fast enough that you don't need as much "meat speed" as in the Bonk's Revenge run, but wouldn't it be worth it to have double or triple damage on bosses? The second boss comes to mind in particular.

Congratulations once again, Bloobiebla, on finishing a long-awaited run and making it awesome. In honor of this feat, I've chipped in a donation to the site, and I'd be willing to do so in the future for some other highly anticipated runs.

I actually really like this concept for a run, at least in theory. This game is quite hard, and the goals make it even more ridiculous. I definitely liked some of the close shaves you had dodging enemies, and the mummy fight was awesomely impressive. I also liked the fight with Death, and jumping over Dracula's fireballs was surprising. However, in practice, these run goals don't produce the most entertaining movie. The published run is amazing primarily because it showboats the use of the cross and holy water for big point combos. (There are other fun things about that run too, but the showboating particularly stands out.) While this run has its moments of greatness, the whole pace of the run suffers from the goal choices. I feel like this run merits a comparison to the Contra pacifist run which only uses the standard weapon. That run, by avoiding killing enemies, adds palpable extra challenge, much like this run does. However, no one part is made too much longer in the pacifist run. Also, there isn't that much entertainment that is sacrificed in the pacifist run (since the spread gun optmization, although technically impressive, doesn't have as much "wow" factor IMHO as comboing enemies with the cross subweapon in this game). Overall, I like this run enough to vote Yes, but I doubt that enough people will agree with me to publish it. Good job anyway though on the technical side, scrimpeh!

With the Japanese language text, the lack of running, and the requirement of being forced to Sing 11 times at the final boss, this certainly isn't the most entertaining run around. However, it's still a great example of breaking an RPG to pieces with glitches. I was fairly amused by the disappearing "Queen Mary" girl in the middle of gray glitchy land, and the game's music is awesome. Yes vote for a noticeable improvement on the old run.

Wow, I'm definitely looking forward to more of this now. Great job so far!

Umm... wow. The funny thing is, the first thing I noticed is that the game had a look and sound very similar to Looney Tunes and also Batman: Return of the Joker. Then I noticed the game was a Sunsoft game, and that made sense. However, that was the LAST thing that made sense from this run. It was quite entertaining for all its glitchy goodness. Yes vote. Oh, and before anyone else mentions it, this is NOT at all the same game as the SNES Daffy Duck: The Marvin Missions. Therefore, there shouldn't be any obsoletion issues.
