About the Game(s):
Action 52 is an unlicensed game made for the NES and Sega Genesis, featuring - you guessed it - 52 different video games. The NES port was published in 1991, whereas the Genesis port was published in 1993. Both versions were published by Active Enterprises.
Mash Man is game 37/52 in the NES port of Action 52. You play as the titular character Mash Man, who has to walk through 3 levels avoiding completely random enemies, so random in fact, that I don't even know what they are so I can't name them here.
About the TAS:
This TAS aims for fastest completion, which means completing all 3 unique levels. This is the first TAS I've finished at the age of 15.
After the ~15 second Action 52 cutscene and a bit of menuing, we start the game on frame 978.
All the levels are nearly exactly the same. All we have to do is hold right and jump at the right times.
Enemies:
There are 3 types of enemies in the game:
Type 1
  • These enemies are completely harmless.
  • They can be killed either by walking into them or jumping on them.
  • They are found near the start of every level.
Type 2
  • These enemies can be dangerous.
  • They can only be killed by jumping on them.
  • They are found after Type 1 enemies.
Type 3
  • These enemies are very dangerous.
  • They cannot be killed, meaning you have to jump over them.
  • They are found after Type 1 enemies.
Input End:
Input ends on frame 6933 at the end of Level 3.
Thanks for reading.

nymx: Claiming for judging.
nymx: Well, nothing much to say here. There is constant forward movement without any stopping. Seems to be perfect.

Can anyone make a livestream of this TAS? 16K encodes take too long to process. 1gbps makes too big of a file. (7.50 GB for 1 minute of video cannot fit on a VCD)

What? Just encode it like everybody else does in BizHawk. Takes a minute or less to upload.
Published TASes: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12 Please consider voting for me as Rookie TASer Of 2023 - Voting is in December 2023 My rule is quality TASes over quantity TASes... unless I'm bored.
