Hello there! My name is Brandon Evans. I'm a Computer Science Major and have been programming since 2004. I was born on February 11, 1992. I became an editor on February 19, 2011, an encoder on February 21, 2011, a coder on February 22, 2011, and a publisher on March 11, 2011. I also began console verifying on April 24, 2011. I hope to use my abilities to contribute to the TAS community, hoping to encode, publish, and create movies as well as edit pages and work on the back-end when necessary. One of my early goals as an editor is to attempt to expand the Game Resources to find useful memory addresses for a wider array of games. You can find my personal website here here. Thanks for visiting!

Contra: Hard Corps is the only game of the Contra series released on the Genesis / Mega Drive console. In this game, you get to choose between four characters, each with different abilities and weapons. The Japanese version was chosen because, for some reason, it gives the players a health bar, allowing them to take some damage without dying.
You can also get several different endings, based on which choices you make at several points. In this movie, the author takes the "best ending", which is the only ending that rewards the player with a "GOOD JOB!" screen at the end. There is also a run which obtains a worse ending but still shows off a number of the game's stages. There is also a run which gets the secret ending.

A run of the first Super Bomberman game. The player controls two characters alone and manages to complete the game very quickly due to exploiting the very long invulnerability periods at the beginning of every stage. Actually, the only places where you can see the characters becoming vulnerable are the boss battles!
This is a 1-minute improvement over the previous run.

In this game, the player controls Juste Belmont, one of the later descendants of the Belmont clan. The goal of the game, as usual for Castlevania games, is to defeat Dracula in his castle. Along the way, some bosses are beaten, and some abilities and items are obtained. Furthermore, to obtain the best ending, Juste is supposed to acquire all of Dracula's remains and Maxim's bracelet.
In this branch, the author forgoes the "wall-sinking" glitch (used in this movie) which would allow Juste to warp to far-away places. Thus, this movie shows off more of the game.
We also have movies featuring the unlockable character Maxim, with wall-sinking or without.

Mole Mania, known as Moguranya (モグラ~ニャ) in Japan, is an action puzzle game. The main character is a mole named Muddy Mole, whose wife and children have been kidnapped by the farmer, Jinbe. Muddy has to go to Jinbe Land and save his family. In the game, the player will solve puzzles by moving a black ball to a gate. However, there are many obstacles and enemies in the way. Therefore the player will dig into ground to find ways around them.
The player skips 6 levels out of 8 using a reset glitch, causing the time records to be corrupted. Can you complete the first level in more than 75 hours and almost all of the rest in 0 seconds?
This run improves on a previous run by the same author by using three new tricks. See the submission for more details.

The objective of Lamborghini: American Challenge is to become the champion of illegal street racing. The player speeds through street traffic, while avoiding speed traps, and makes his way across the finish line first.
Instead, here laranja uses a glitch to gain thousands of dollars by losing a race. Then, he buys the best equipment, enabling him to drive very, very fast. Specifically, he is now able to complete the timed races that are required to beat the game. If you're looking for a run of a racing game that drives 310 MPH on icy roads, look no further—you have it right here!
In this version, the author makes an improvement of over 2 minutes by skipping more of the 2nd race.

This movie here is one that makes little to no sense to someone
who isn't familiar with the game. The main character can move very
fast and the dark graphics don't help in figuring out what's going on.
There is a lot more going on in this movie than meets the eye. For
example, the player uses a secret warp involving combining the alchemy
potions that are scattered throughout the levels.
This improves the previous run of the game by 5 minutes & 30 seconds through several optimizations as well as a new glitch which creates massive shortcuts.
For more information about what's going on in this game, we recommend
reading the author's comments at the submission page.
NOTE: Don't be fooled by the fake credits after the final level. The
game is not quite over yet.

The Bugs Bunny Birthday Blowout, known in Japan as Happy Birthday Bugs and in Europe as The Bugs Bunny Blowout, is a Kemco video game released for the Nintendo Entertainment System. The game is a sequel to The Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle, which was released the previous year. As the beginning of the game tells you, Bugs Bunny is trying to get to his 50th birthday party, and he needs to get past the numerous obstacles and enemies in his way.
Several factors make this game quite difficult. For instance, after taking damage, Bugs cannot swing his hammer until the damage blinking stops. When an enemy is hit with the hammer but doesn't die, he is pushed back a little. These factors make it tricky to coordinate multiple hits on a boss in a row. Also, some of the later stages are quite mazelike with their network of warp entrances (similar to warp pipes in Super Mario Bros). In addition, a TASer needs to manage heavy lag and avoid collecting too many bonus carrots (so that fewer time-wasting bonus games are played after the stages).
Despite all this, Bhezt_Rhy moves through the game speedily, taking more damage than Rambo and finishing in a little over 26 minutes.

Invasion of the Zombie Monsters is a B-Movie styled platformer for MSX. You take control of Ned, a geek trying to save his girlfriend from a giant demon terrorizing the city. This game was designed to be a throwback to games like Legend of Hero Tonma and Ghouls 'n Ghosts.
Ignoring the game's difficulty, the author, NitroGenesis, shreds through hordes of zombies and gets the girl in less than 5 minutes by manipulating bosses and abusing hitboxes.

This hack of Super Mario World contains a Star World which contains themed levels that connect to various locations on the map. Like the original Super Mario World, these levels can be used as a makeshift warp zone. This movie demonstrates this path - navigating the Star World to charge straight to Bowser, leaving much of the game untouched.
This movie is nearly 45 seconds shorter than the previous movie. The author accomplished this feat by implementing a different route to Bowser and flying under the lava. See the author's comments for more details.
The homepage for Super Demo World, including the patch to be used on a Super Mario World ROM image, and the program used to make the hack, is available online.

In this game featuring the famous SpongeBob SquarePants, SpongeBob stumbles upon a legendary statue that opens the way to the Dutchman’s Underworld. SpongeBob must unlock the statue and defeat the Flying Dutchman to get the Golden Spatula and become the Master Fry Cook.
To beat this game in slightly more than seven and a half minutes, the author, CoolKirby, abuses the game's horrendous jumping mechanics, forgoes several unnecessary weapon upgrades, and avoids fighting with most minor enemies. For more information, see the submission.

Contra is a classic action game. Equipped with heavy artillery, you must save the world by defeating the organization Red Falcon. To do this, you must make it past over 10 areas full of flying bullets and explosives and defeat many baddies.
Like in this run's predecessor, zyr2288 uses both Bill and Lance simultaneously to fire through each level. In addition, he makes use of some better routes, boss fighting strategies, and lag manipulation.
Note: This game was released under different names, such as 魂斗羅 (Kontora) in Japan, and Probotector in Europe. GryZor is also used in Europe on some other systems.

In Spanky's Quest, you take control of a bubble wielding monkey named Spanky. When you bounce a bubble, it changes colors, and depending on what color it is when it is popped, a certain type of ball comes out, which can be used to attack enemies. Each level is completed when you collect a certain amount of keys and open the door at the end.
In this run, the author, FFGamer86, uses a glitch to transport a key from one bubble to another, a trick nearly impossible to execute in real time. To see the other tricks he used, please see the author's notes.

Bio Force Ape was a game developed by SETA set to be released in 1991 for the Nintendo Entertainment System. After SETA folded, a prototype cart was picked up by Lost Levels, who then released it to the public. In this prototype, you take control of a genetically altered super chimpanzee with pro wrestling-style moves and guide him through a hi-tech maze to rescue his adopted family. Why wasn't this released again?
In this run, the author, RT-55J, tries to complete the game in the fastest in-game time. To do this, he uses many exploits that might have been removed if this game was actually released. For more details, as always, please see the author's notes.

An extremely short game based on the Karate Kid movie. The author explains that some movements might not seem optimal, which is because the player has to avoid both entering bonus stages hidden everywhere around the levels and kicking bosses offscreen. If a boss goes offscreen, it regains all of its health, which of course isn't a good thing.
Had the kid been this strong in the movie, it would certainly have been… interesting.
This movie is a about a 3 second improvement over the previous run.

This is an improvement of 00:13.67 seconds over laughing_gas's princess-only run of Super Mario Bros. 2 (aka Super Mario USA).
The concept for this run originated long ago because Princess was the only character not used in the normal run aiming for fastest overall time. Since then, improvements have removed Mario from that run as well. (In fact, Princess is the only character not used in the fastest warpless run either.)
