Here's a screwball, doesn't the intro count as game choice? It's part of the game, and I chose it.
On a serious note: TASes like this can be found at
http://tasvideos.org/Zeupar/Crash.html.
I would still like to see a demos category that would fit this in it.
Also, clarification on the term softlock. Even though you cannot move around, in this game atleast, you can restart by holding B+X+Start. As far as I know, that is the definition, and I know that this would be considered a softlock by the Zelda community. I suppose it doesn't matter currently, as this won't be accepted for different reasons.
I wonder if a fastest crash would do better... I'll TAS it, but until there is some sort of catagory for it, I won't waste your time. It will be quite a bit different from what I can think of, considering I know of few crashes in this game.
