Other comments

mmbossman: (Copy of rejection text from movie mentioned above) This appears to be exactly the same as this movie. Except a minute and a half slower. And it uses an (E) ROM, when a (U) ROM is available, which breaks the Rules. Rejecting.

I dare say I couldn't agree more good sir! Why, it is such a spiffing description a demand it be recorded down in the history of importaint texts at once! I just LOVED the 'And so on' stage in this run, just brilliant! Not that 'the first stage' didn't have it's fare share of WTF moments too. ... But on a more serious note, you may wanna get an actual description in there dude. =P

Let's count the problems: 1) no description whatsoever. 2) uses the (E) version of the ROM when there's a (U) version available. 3) uses the later GBA version of the game when there's an earlier SNES version available. 4) pretty much the same as this run. Kill it with fire. Under the circumstances, it's a well-performed run, and I'd encourage the submitter to review the rules and work on something a little more likely to be accepted.

Actually, in the case of DS/GBA games, this isn't an issue. They both run at the same frame rate, the only differences usually present are either a language selection screen, or different publisher logos.

Uh...actually, some games like the Minish Cap have glitches or tricks that only seem to work on one version, not both.

Hence "usually". If a glitch or trick is only available in one version, then all the more reason to use one over the other. Care to mention this glitch or trick in minish cap that only works in one version though?
