I wanted to request a speedrun movie of SNES arkanoid. I wanted to see what all of the levels look like.

If by speedrun, you mean TAS... I'd say a TAS isn't needed for you to see all levels. Just playing through them regularly (with rerecords) will take approximately 100 to 500 times less time than making a TAS of it. For someone to make a movie, just to show of all levels would take him just as much effort as it would take you... so my question is, why not do it yourself?

...and if you're still feeling like a lazy bastard and don't want to do any actual work, just use GameFAQs' level passwords.
Working on a mod of an old favorite in my spare time. PM for updates!

At the risk of being completely off-topic, I still read 'Arkanoid' as 'Araknoid'. I don't think I'll ever break myself of this habit.
Kirby said so, so it must be true. ( >'.')>

Ditto. Also, I support the idea of an Arkanoid TAS, even if I'm too lazy to make it.

Arkanoid allows infinite continues from any level and they're all easy given the full quota of lives. This unfortunately eliminates all fiero from the game but does mean you could easily play through it yourself without worrying about getting stuck or having to restart. I think it's a lousy game, but might be interesting to TAS from my very limited understanding of TASing.

Off topic, but 'Arachnoid' might be a cool game. If I make an attempt at it, I'll dedicate it to you. Or maybe 'Arkanophobia'
I'm just some random guy. Don't let my words get you riled - I have my opinions but they're only mine.
