In Cheetahmen II the player again assumes the role of one of the three Cheetahmen (Aries, Apollo and Hercules); after defeating a boss at the end of the second level, they switch to the next Cheetahman
for the following two levels, as in the Action 52 version. Due to a bug, it is impossible to get to the
levels in which one plays Cheetahman Aries without altering the ROM image or experiencing a glitch
that very rarely starts the game on these two levels. Though PacoChan released fix patch in order to
able to play other 2 levels. You have to download the patch from
here to play this movie.

Trick/Glitch
Stop Walking: Enemy spawns are determined by frames or your character x position. So you should
stop walking to manipulate enemy spawn. This is used in Level 4~6.
Infinite Jump: Physical attack can be cancelled with jump then you can do attack, cancel repeatedly.
Apollo can't use this glitch.
114 frames faster than
my previous run (you need nico
account). I switched FCEUX to Bizhawk but there were no extra/reduced frames as far as I looked.

taking the broken pixels come from the patch. Makes this the perfect image.
