I watched the encode. Great job! Stage 4 looks much less laggy now.

I am waiting for an encode to watch this run, but I'm excited about this! I just saw Hammerin Harry at SGDQ, and it looks like this TAS finally incorporates strategy improvements mentioned at SGDQ.

Feos, I think this is the run mmbossman would have wanted. However, I think this Cornell run should be published as a separate category from the Henry run.

Solid improvement! I liked the original run by Frenom for making quick work of a surprisingly complex game. The fact that you even tried to do decent dancing attempts in the elevators during downtime is enough to make me vote Yes on this.

I agree completely with Challenger. Amazing job!

This game is quite different from the GB original (see arukAdo's run), and that's a good thing. This game is much more interesting, especially when it's not lagging all the time. Great job!

Thank you, TaoTao, for the encode. I knew this game was infamous, and I was pretty interested in the run for a little while. The soldier death animations are pretty funny, and you can tell how hard the game is even if you're not very familiar with it. But after a while, the game is just too slow and repetitive for me. Ultimately, I have to vote No on this.

Oh man, it's this game again! I never really understood how the boss fights work, where you seem to be forced to give away some of your life in this kind of "sucking" animation they do. Also, you part with a bit of your life to help out your buddies at some points. Captain Lips is strange :/ I am definitely in favor of fewer autoscrollers, so I'm fine with having a Beginner run. I also have no issues with version or language choices here. Given the higher play quality, I would recommend using this to obsolete our current Expert run, and this could in turn be obsoleted by an updated Expert run. (Though separate categories would be fine by me... we have at least a few platformers which are played at Easy difficulty level on this site.) Also, there is one main reason I prefer Beginner level: the final boss fight is WAY shorter. That fight is torturously long in Expert difficulty.

Good improvement! I don't remember the previous run well enough to notice major changes, but the action looks polished. The final boss is easily the most impressive part of the run. Thanks also, Challenger, for the encode!

Wow... I did not know this game before watching this run, and it's very strange. The fast motion and the crazy scenery are pretty entertaining. I worry that if this game were run in a version that did not have a fast-motion glitch, the game would be way too boring for the average audience member. I don't have much of an opinion about whether this needs to be run in the original language. The precedents we have on this site get a little confusing. Probably the most relevant example is the Cave Story run, which is done in the original Japanese.

Wow, it's been a long time between the Henry run and this run. It's good to see that N64 emulation has improved enough to make this possible. Although the game has some very repetitive parts (Arts, Ruins), the run is very good. Nice job! One question: does "Lycanthrope only" need to be part of the run category? If that's already the fastest way to play as Cornell, you don't need a separate subtitle to explain that.

Wow... I was hoping this version would be less crappy. Unfortunately, that was not to be. The perpetual elbow juggling gets old really fast. And on top of a dumb final boss fight which doesn't look like a boss fight, you only get a silly kissing scene in the credits. Good job playing this, but this has to be a No vote from me.

Surprisingly good port for the GB. The music in this version mostly sucks, so it's a shame the SGB2 music upgrade couldn't be used here. It's actually almost a shame the bosses die so fast here, before they can really show any of their patterns. However, the run is still mostly entertaining. You especially did a great job with the playaround with the stage 3 wallcrawler. Yes vote.

Great run! Why can't Peach use the 1-1 strategy from the other runs, where Birdo is killed by a Shyguy instead of with eggs?

Nice job! The game is different enough to publish along with the NES run. There is a lot of lag though. Few small questions: * In the mines, you release a boulder when you have 1 hit point, take damage, and still live. How? * At the moon, are there really no glitches like in the NES run for early entry to the caves? * After Dracula, can you be in the middle of the air when Flintheart Glomgold appears? The NES run does that, saving a bit of time climbing the last rope.

The run was fairly Meh without any real combat, even at the ending. My favorite part is Batman's stride... when he goes by "Don't Pass Door" for the first time, I can imagine him going "Don't tell the Batman what to do."

Wow, nice improvement! I'd love to see more details for this submission than just who TASed each stage. I was only able to pick up on a few main things: It looks like you fly a lot less than previous runs. You now use the green guy for most boss fights. Enemy manipuulation looks better. I'd especially like to know how bosses 3 and 4 work. With boss 3, didn't you only kill one of the two guys and yet the stage is finished anyway?

First of all, I'm super impressed by this run. For such a short amount of gameplay, that's a crazy amount of optimization involving air drag and that teleportation in the final fight. The fight looks pretty odd with two passes, but the early input end is definitely worth it. As for the main controversy, I thought that RTA speedrunners still ran this category even though it is a cheat? If they do, I figure that makes this run good enough to count as well.

Interesting enough, though this is a pretty ugly version compared to the NES game. I give it a Meh in entertainment. Why do you have small wiggles on the ropes in the second stage? I didn't see any enemies trying to attack you there... though maybe you were manipulating them not to come out, I don't know.

Nice improvements, and good submission text! Despite all the lag, this is a pretty entertaining platformer. It's hilarious how Popeye only has one beefy arm, but the arm changes whenever he turns around. The barrel boost is the highlight of the run. PCachu: which version was the good one versus the mediocre-to-crappy one? I think I only ever saw a couple of the theater shorts myself.

You're welcome, zoboner. Nice improvement! I have never actually played the game myself, but I was always intrigued by the routing options with the any% category. I am quite glad to see how much more efficient this route is. I also don't know if I even saw when the potion pickup happened.

The choice of Vault tier for this movie seems a bit harsh. Although the game has a lot of downtime between stages (sailing the raft, some cutscenes which are now mostly skipped), the actual stage action is pretty good, and the boss fights are entertaining. The stages are more complicated than just running right all the time, though I admit they may be confusing enough to make it less entertaining for the average viewer. Ultimately, it's not my decision, but I figured I should give my own defense of this underrated game.
Used to be a frequent submissions commenter. My new computer has had some issues running emulators, so I've been here more sporadically. 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.) 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 can't say the game is really interesting, but I love how people still find these little incredibly precise optimizations. A similar thing happened with Excitebike not too long ago. I don't know if Mode B is supposed to be faster, but if previous runs have all used Mode A, I'm fine with staying with Mode A for the judging here. Meh vote for entertainment, but I'm in favor of obsoleting the current run.

Hi, would it be possible to put up a video encode? There's no hurry, and I'm fine if the answer is No. Also, if I understand your description correctly: the only main change is to instead find the warp spell potions in a different stage? Nice!
