Nicely played. However, this game annoys me for some reason. This is my first time seeing it, and I guess I don't really like the feel of the game (for instance, almost everything about Cyber Peacock looks utterly ridiculous to me). There were some really good boss fights, but overall this game isn't as entertaining to me as X5 or X6.
I think this is nice work and publishable quality, though I still think my vote is Meh.

I didn't find this all that interesting. Lots of not much going on. The GB version on the site is more than enough to represent the game, methinks. Meh vote.
If only one is needed to represent the site, why not have this one instead? It does have nice gameplay, and certainly better graphics & sound.
I would say the graphics are better in the PCE version, sure. I don't really like the music of this version... the GB version's music seems to bring out a mood a lot better. Ironically, the GB version seems to fit more space on the screen above the player, since the player's sprite is smaller. This makes the PCE version seem really cluttered all the time, which may add to the difficulty.
In any case, I don't feel like the GB gameplay is any worse. For instance, the GB run uses more varied weapons during the regular stages, since the grenades are less powerful. The PCE version is definitely harder, but it's also longer... some boss fights drag on while grenades just get pumped into their bodies, obscuring the boss graphics. This is what makes the PCE version less entertaining to me, even though it was probably harder to run and is more impressive technically.

I can't tell what the improvement is. However, given that this game was already in frame-war territory, any improvement is a big deal. Yes vote.
By the way, why is it that the submission message looks different in this forum thread compared to how it looks in the Workbench? Am I loading an old version of a page by accident somewhere? (The forum thread's message has an "Enhanced Level" thing in it.)

Unfortunately, I agree with Blaise. Now, I definitely have nostalgia with Mortal Kombat, and I could see some gimmicks you had in your run (taking a shot from Sonya but not receiving any damage, throwing Kano while he's tucked in a ball, etc.). However, the game is really too slow-paced and simplistic to make a good fighting game TAS. The game doesn't have a whole lot of combos, and you have only one finishing move (per character).
You do a good job at making the AI look bad, but this run also makes the game look bad.

Could you explain the changed strategies in Level 3-1? I'm curious why you drop down at first, and I'm a little surprised you don't use that tornado power more often in the game. Regardless, this looks really great (especially all of Stage 4), so Yes vote.

Ooh, nifty! Unfortunately, I can't watch this yet since I don't have this new version of Dega, and the link to PCC's site seems to be down at the moment. Looking forward to it though!
EDIT: It turned out I had the correct Dega version all along... this is the only v1.16 I've seen with a MAME core. However, it's worth noting the Emulator Resources page has a dead link: http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~pcc03/dega/ should be http://www.pcc.me.uk/~peter/dega/ instead, I believe.

Thanks for the encode!
There's already a Ninja Spirit run on the site: Primo did the Game Boy version (which I guess is another port from the arcade). I'm not sure which version of the game I like better. This one has the better graphics and cooler animations, but it also has longer stages and bosses with more HP. The Game Boy run also uses the sword a lot on bosses... I guess the grenades got pretty nerfed in that version.
Would this run coexist with the GB run or would it obsolete? I don't know how to vote yet without knowing the answer to this question.

Wow, you've been sitting on this run for an entire year?... In any case, the run looks really good. Balloon usage is awesome in particular. I imagine that more can be done in the name of lag reduction, but this is still great. Also, t3h Icy brings up some good points, so hopefully we'll get to see even more great work on this game.
In the meantime, this is definitely a worthy improvement to the published movie. Yes vote.

SUCCESS! Rock 'n' Roll! (I am impressed that they got the spelling of rock 'n' roll right in the game, with the two apostrophes.)
This looked like a pretty action-packed puzzle game, and I enjoyed it. Yes vote.

The opening combo made this quite a bit more entertaining than previous attempts at this game. Good job!

I wasn't sure if I was going to enjoy this, because I am not a fan of the overhead perspective of these games. However, after a bit, I got used to it, and the level of play was outstanding. Good job Mukki!

Wow, nine votes and only one comment? And most of those votes are Yes votes? That seems odd.
Anyway, I finally got around to watching this. It is slightly better than Sonikkustar's attempt. However, Sonikkustar's run was canceled presumably because of goal choice. Namely, the "Flashing Columns" run doesn't give enough chances to be interesting. I think there's the same problem with this run.
I would be more interested to see something involving big combos. However, this isn't bad, so Meh vote.

I figured I should give this hack a shot. I watched the movie, and my overall impression of the game is that it's not particularly different from SMB. It has some little gimmicks (like the dots in World 1-3 that sort of behave like vines), but otherwise it's not too special... it looks like it's trying to be difficult, but not ridiculously so.
As for the movie itself, the play is alright. There's some use of glitching. However:
There's no use of the flagpole glitch (assuming it still works in this hack).
Fireworks are set off, including some stages with 6 fireworks. This wastes more time than just waiting before touching the flag.
Bowser is not killed with fireballs. This is probably trying to look more impressive (especially in World 3), but I think it looks sloppy.
Lots of fireballs are shot to try to increase entertainment, but this sometimes makes the game lag (check out 1-4 with the fire rods for example). Also, it gets really old.
Unfortunately, I think that the play and the game are below site standards, especially since those standards are quite high for the SMB games. No vote. MrOmicron, if you're interested in playing hacked versions of Mario games, you should check out the hacked versions that have been published... each of them has something which makes it interestingly distinct from the original SMB. Maybe this will help with ideas.

I don't have much to add from my post on the previous submission. Stage 1 looks really great now. However, now that you have 2 health points at the Stage 2 boss, is it worth it to try attacking him before he gets to the left side?

I remember this game from when I was a kid, and I never expected it to be beaten this fast. This makes bosses look ridiculously easy (especially the Joker). Also, I recall it being really hard to get multiple swings chained together on the console, let alone build up speed from them. Not only that, but you hardly ever needed batarangs.
Yes vote. This made my day once again (Kriole's AOS run was the first time today.)

I am amazed. Having this (reasonably) unglitched was a nice change of pace to previous runs. This must have been a monumental task manipulating and route planning, but it's really paid off. Hats off to one of the most stylistic TASes of the year. Merry Christmas Eve indeed!

Thanks Aktan!
This version of the game actually feels pretty similar to the NES one. Certainly the fighting is different, and there are a few differences in the stages, but everything is largely a reordering of the stages in the NES version (or is the NES version largely a reordering of this?). The character jumping, with so many knees, makes me think they are Riverdancing while kicking ass. In fact, I wonder if the music of the game would be better as Riverdance; I didn't like this version of the soundtrack too much. (In fact, I don't really feel like this game offers that much new compared to the NES version, so I'm not sure there should be a run on each version.)
The run looks pretty solid. You do an awesome job getting the two characters in the action pretty much constantly. However, it gets repetitive from all the use of flying knees. Furthermore, a lot of the time, enemies are down on the ground, waiting to get up and get hit by a knee again. It seems like it should be faster to have one character use standing attacks to soften up the enemy before the other knees them (you do this on the Mission 7 boss and some enemies in Mission 8).
In short, I think this is good, but I get the feeling there's room for improvement (though I imagine it won't be easy to find improvements).

Hey FuzZerd, if you went through the old stages and fixed up small mistakes (you mentioned the Left-Right thing earlier), how much time would that save over this run? Does this merit a new submission?

Thanks again Aktan! I'm personally ok with the all-clear code, since it doesn't provide any other benefits to the player except a less redundant route (kind of like Ferret Warlord's runs on Ghouls and Ghosts).
I really liked this run, and I'm still voting Yes, but I had some questions. First, I'm a little surprised at how many stages were finished with 10 hearts left and with a lot of leftover life (especially the stage with the No Damage bonus); is it really not worth it to get a subweapon that wastes those extra hearts? And also, why do you use the pigeons on Death and Dracula instead of Guardian Fist?
All in all, this still looks great, and you kept things entertaining with the finishing poses at the ends of stages.

I haven't been able to watch this yet, but I was curious: why does the 100% run have improvements which aren't here? And roughly how much time would these improvements save?

Awesome comic pages, Cardboard!
As for the run, could somebody explain a little bit about the items you grab? It seems like you have to grab something in 1-3, 2-3, etc... what does this affect?
However, very nice improvements. Yes vote.

Stage 6 looked really hard, and there were some slowdowns, but I imagine you did the best you could with them. This game looks really good now. Yes vote.

Before this gets published, I'm just curious: is it possible to get the Lizard King to steal your gold before the third boss? I know that in both this run and Phil's run, there is still two gold left which gets counted at the end.

Still haven't gotten around to actually TASing yet... 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.)

Coincidentally, I only recently watched the actual Willow movie for the first time. It amazes me how little of the actual movie's plot ends up in the game faithfully and how much extra stuff gets tossed in the game.
About the run, though, I can't help but watch a lot of the walking parts in fast forward. The game is really much bigger than it needs to be. The boss fights are pretty awesome though, and resource management looked really good this time around. The improved use of the Magic meter glitch was also pretty nifty. I'm not sure if this technically qualifies as a "low%" run, since I'm pretty sure the Devileye sword isn't a requirement for beating the game, but I do understand that you beat the game at the minimum possible level.
I feel that, in the end, the judging of this run will just come down to whether the game deserves a TAS. I think it does (though it's definitely a close call for me) and will vote Yes.
