007: Agent Under Fire is a James Bond game. You know what that means: guns, rockets, cars, tanks, girls, and megalomaniacs.

In this run, alec kermit shows off impressive stunts, including dead-on firearm accuracy, apparent resistance to explosions and broad vehicular destruction. The author has also made a commentary video that explains many of the tricks used.

For more of the cinematic secret agent, see our other James Bond TASes.

Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg is a unique platformer where your character's power is defined largely by the kind of egg he or she is holding. In this TAS, all levels are completed, using a variety of shortcuts and techniques. See the author's comments for more information.

Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg is a unique platformer where your character's power is defined largely by the kind of egg he or she is holding.

In this TAS, only the mandatory levels are completed, leading to a much shorter completion time than the 100% run done by the same author.

See the author's comments for more information.

Crazy Taxi is an open world racing video game developed by Hitmaker (Sega AM3) and published by Sega. The main objective of the game is to pick up customers and take them to their chosen destination as quickly as possible.

In this run, solarplex aims to reach Rank 1 as well as obtain a Crazy License, and this run surely lives up to the crazy nature of the game.

Disney's Extreme Skate Adventure is a skateboarding game released in 2003, using the same engine as Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4. The game allows you to skate as characters from Toy Story, Tarzan, and The Lion King. The gameplay is similar to that of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4, but containing simplified controls and limited tricks. There are three main modes of the game, Adventure Mode, Free Skate, and Versus. Unlike regular Tony Hawk's Pro Skater games, there is no actual story mode to complete. Instead, there are goals scattered across every level.

In this run, Fog unlocks every level and every skater as fast as possible.

Ed, Edd n Eddy: The Mis-Edventures is a 3D platform game based on the Cartoon Network animated television series Ed, Edd n Eddy. It follows the three Ed's, Ed, Edd and Eddy, as they complete six scams for the love of Jawbreakers.

In this run, Fog exploits wall collision bugs and other quirks in the game to beat it as quickly as possible.

Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles is an action role playing game developed by The Game Designers Studio and published by Square Enix in 2003 for the Nintendo GameCube. This was the first Final Fantasy game to include real-time fighting, which has since become a staple of Final Fantasy games.

You control a caravan and its members, and travel in a hostile world with dungeons and monsters. You collect drops of Myrrh to protect your village, and go on a quest to find and destroy the source of the miasma that corrupts the world.

Wobmiar further improves on their previous movie's record by by opting not to craft the Master's weapon early on and instead go for the Valiant Weapon, which saves some item farming time and allows the first trip to Marr's Pass to be completely skipped.

Note that this movie was done on a newer version of Dolphin (than the previous run) that has longer and more accurate load times. As a result, this movie's time appears to be slower than the previous run, but is actually faster when load times are discounted.

Frogger's Adventures: The Rescue is a Frogger game that retains the gameplay of Frogger 2: Swampy's Revenge while introducing level bosses and new ways to solve puzzles involving Frogger's tongue. The goal of the game is to save Frogger's girlfriend Lily, who has been kidnapped by an organization called T.R.I.P. (Tyrannical Reptiles In Power) because she is the key to activating the Ultimate Weapon, a device created to destroy the Earth.

In this run, watch Malleoz speed through 7 zones in order to chase down these Reptiles and free Lily.

In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry and his friends unravel the mystery behind the Heir of Slytherin (yes, it's Lord Voldemort, duh) and his Chamber of Secrets. USTA2877 would make short work of that, but is frequently interrupted by senseless (unskippable) cutscenes and loading screens, which this game (series) is somewhat notorious for. Most of this run is relatively glitch-free, so lean back and enjoy a fast-forward through the second part of the Harry Potter series.

Note: The minor audio and animation glitches are caused by bugs in Dolphin's emulation and capture.

Luigi wins a mansion in a contest and his brother, Mario, goes missing there. It is your goal to search the haunted mansion to figure out where he is. Your weapons to protect you are a flashlight and the Poltergust 3000, a ghost vacuum. Capturing ghosts and collecting keys helps you progress in your quest to find Mario.

NEVERDOORS improves their previous movie by 35.3 seconds, thanks to a much improved Chauncey fight, being able to be defeated in one cycle. Please read the author's comments for more details.

This run plays the Hidden Mansion, a mode unlocked after beating the game once that increases the power of the Poltergust and allows skipping some cutscenes.

Madagascar is a game based on the animated movie of the same name released for the GameCube in 2005. Following the story line of the movie (although with a few differences), the game features a fair amount of platforming, action as well as stealth segments throughout.

EZGames69 completes the game in record time.

Mario Party 6 is a party game released for the Nintendo GameCube in 2004 (and 2005 in Europe and Australia). The game features two main game modes: Party Mode, where 4 players compete to get the highest amount of stars, and Solo Mode, in which one player must reach the end of the board to get a Rare Mini-Game. If the player goes further than that space, they'll lose all mini-games they've collected, amongst other events.

GoddessMaria and Samsara play through all three boards of the game's Solo Mode and get the Rare Mini-Games in record time.

We also have a TAS of Mario Party 7's Solo Cruise.

Mario Party 7 is a party game released for the Nintendo GameCube in 2005. Four players race across a board trying to get stars.

In this TAS, BeastlyN64 plays on the "Solo Cruise" gamemode. This is the main story mode for Mario Party 7 in which the player must play through all 6 boards against one CPU opponent. Each board has a different objective the player must beat before progressing on to the next board. Unlike party mode, you don't play minigames at the end of each turn.

Mega Man Network Transmission is a game in the Mega Man Battle Network series, developed by Arika and published by Capcom for the Nintendo GameCube in 2003. It combines the battle chip system of the Battle Network games with the classic Mega Man level designs to create a unique game in the franchise. Battle chips can be for attacking, defending, utility purposes, or a combination of these, and can be sourced from viruses (enemies) mid-stage, bought from shops, or acquired from defeating bosses. You have a finite amount of each chip, and using them costs MP, which recovers over time.

Pontus completes the game in record time.

NFL Street is an American football video game developed by EA Tiburon and published by Electronic Arts. It was originally released for the PlayStation 2, GameCube and Xbox on January 13, 2004.

"NFL Challenge" is the main mode in the game. You create a team, from logo to players height, and go through a series of challenges against other teams, unlocking new football stadiums, teams, equipment, and development points for improving your team;by completing several challenges that vary in their difficulty.

Lobsterzelda beats NFL Street's "NFL Challenge" mode as fast as possible, featuring a lot of quick, frame perfect dodging and maneuvering around the computer to score points, which is sure to impress the viewer.

This run is a 9:32.93 minute improvement over Lobsterzelda's previous record.

NFL Street 2 is the second game in the series by Electronic Arts. It features team rosters from the 2004 NFL season. As in the first game, players can accumulate style points during play, but this game adds wall moves as a new method to get the points.

"NFL Challenge" mode remains the primary mode of the game but has changed from the first game. Players have 150 days to prepare a team for a tournament against the other NFL teams, with the winner challenging the NFL Legends.

In this run, Lobsterzelda completes the "NFL Challenge" mode as quickly as possible, using the wall moves to rack up style points and manipulating the computer teams to choose plays that lead to their rapid defeat.

Lobsterzelda improves his previous record by 3:45.80 minutes due to using the hardest difficulty.

Pac-Man World 2 is a 3D platformer for the Nintendo GameCube. Pac-Man has 2 unique movement options: butt-bouncing (ground pound) and rev-rolling (spindash). The goal is simple, just make it to the end of each stage, and kill each boss at the end of the world.

The TAS differs from RTA runs in that minute details in the level geometry are abused using the rev-roll. This allows many strategies to be shown off that aren't viable otherwise.

Note: Due to an emulator bug the intro and outro videos look jittery.

Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc is the third major platform game installment in the Rayman series. It tells the story of how Rayman stops André, an evil black lum, from taking over the world with his army of sack-like "Hoodlum" soldiers. Unlike the game's predecessor, Rayman 3 took a more light-hearted turn; it has sarcastic self-referential undertones and pokes fun at the platforming video game genre.

In this run, Got4n & Andzura abuse many different glitches to skip large parts of levels and even some boss fights. A full list of glitches used and abused can be found in the submission text.

Resident Evil 2, known in Japan as Biohazard 2 is a 1998 survival horror video game originally released for the PlayStation. Developed by Capcom as the second installment in the Resident Evil series, its story takes place two months after the events of the first game, Resident Evil.

This run beats Scenario A of the GameCube version of the game, that features support for the vibration and analog control functions, as well as a new unlockable minigame called "Extreme Battle", and a "Rookie" mode that enables the player to start the main story with a powerful weapon that features infinite ammunition.

Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut, an enhanced port of Sonic Adventure on the Sega Dreamcast, follows the well-known Sonic the Hedgehog as he races to stop Dr. Eggman's evil plans once again — this time in 3D. A notable feature in the game is five extra story modes for some of the other Sonic characters, including Tails, Knuckles and Amy.

This run by THC98 completes Tails's story, see this run for Sonic's story by the same author.

Note: The audio is slightly faulty because of a bug in Dolphin's DSP emulation engine.

Released in early 2004, Sonic Heroes is a 3D platformer that sees four teams of characters seeking to take down Eggman’s army of robots. In this game, the player can switch between a team’s three characters, which each have unique abilities, to overcome various parts of each stage.

THC98 and Malleoz play through the story mode as Team Sonic in record time.

SoulCalibur II continues the tradition set by Soul Blade on the PlayStation and SoulCalibur on the Dreamcast with intense action and plenty of weapons to deal the massive blows. Each console version of the game also includes a unique character for the platform; in the GameCube version, it's Link from The Legend of Zelda.

xxNKxx improves his previous run by nearly a minute, thanks to setting the amount of rounds per match to 1 and overall better luck manipulation.

Note: In order for this run to sync, the free DSP files included with Dolphin must be used. Playing back the run using DSP files dumped from a real GameCube will result in a desync.

Note 2: Due to minor emulation issues, some fade transitions are completely missing, notably the transitions between matches in Arcade mode.

Spider-Man is based on the 2002 movie of the same name, featuring Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker.

The 100% category for this game requires the player to complete the game on the "Hero" or "Super Hero" difficulty, collect every Golden Spider, and acquire 50,000 hero points. Natetheman223 wastes no time in getting to the task, and web-slings to 100% completion in record time.

We also have a run of NewGame+ using the Green Goblin.

Spider-Man is based on the 2002 movie of the same name, featuring Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker.

The game is a beat-em-up that expands the plot of the film, featuring villains that didn't make it into the movie. The player navigates the game by web slinging, zipping, and crawling along walls, only stopping long enough to beat up baddies and collect upgrades.

Natetheman223 employs laser-accurate web skills and a trick that lets Spiderman pass through solid walls with the help of unwitting mooks to complete the game in record time.

See also the author's 100% run and Green Goblin playthrough.

The author has provided audio commentary on this run, which can be seen here.

Just like its predecessor, Spider-Man 2 is based on the 2004 movie of the same name, featuring Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker and Alfred Molina as Otto Octavius. It was the first open-world superhero game, and had brand new physics-based web swinging.

The game expands the plot of the film, where the player web-slings and crawls through a virtual New York. Hero points advance the plot and can be collected by doing good deeds and beating up bad guys.

Natetheman223 web-slings through the game as fast as only a spider can, collecting just enough hero points to complete the story and dispatching villains at record speeds. Natetheman223 improves on his previous run by 2:37.28 minutes via numerous improvements to the entire run, including but not limited to frame-perfect Spidey Reflexes, placing civilians on theater lamps, and taking no damage.

The author has provided voice commentary for this movie.

Spyro: A Hero's Tail (developed by Eurocom) is the fifth main-line game in the Spyro franchise, and this time around there's a new villain named Red, a former Dragon Elder who threatens to take over the world.

Over the past games in the series Ebbe has grown tired of having to collect countless items to even get a chance at kicking the bad guys' butts. Using a variety of tricks like infinite jumping, clipping through geometry, swimming through the air, and many more (see the author's detailed submission notes), Ebbe skips all of the nonsense and confronts Red and his henchmen right away, saving the world in record time.

An encode with audio commentary by the author can be watched here. An encode with all of the cutscenes removed can be viewed here.

Note that there are some emulation problems for this game that result in some scenes (particularly the minecart section) becoming overly bloomed and blurred.

Spyro: Enter The Dragonfly is a platform/adventure game released in 2003. It's the first Spyro game not to be developed by Spyro creators Insomniac Games, instead being developed by Check Six Studios and Equinoxe Entertainment. The game is infamous for its rushed nature and being riddled with bugs, with many considering it one of the worst games of the franchise.

In this run, Fog abuses a seam in the base of the portal leading to the final boss, which allows the entire game to be skipped and completed in just over a minute of total game play.

In the sequel to Super Monkey Ball, you must once again guide a monkey trapped inside a plastic ball to the goal in each stage by tilting the game world. New features include mechanics like portals and more complex level designs, which in a speedrun, lead to some really interesting routes.

In this TAS, the authors skip all the easy levels and warp to the Expert stages, where they proceed to tear through all 50 levels as well as the 10 Master and 10 Master Extra stages, breaking many of the heavily optimized console world record times.

This time, Gonquai, Blendra, Silverbawxer and Taru play through all the levels of the game's story mode in a record in-game time of 29:49.

Super Monkey Ball Adventure takes the monkey rolling madness of the previous games and puts a story-based spin on it. Choosing from one of the four monkeys, Players roll their way around the various islands of Monearth, talking to citizens and performing the tasks they request (such as delivering sandwiches, finding a missing baby, rescuing rare flowers, and more) to cheer them up.

Gonquai, however, does not play the story mode. Instead, he clears all difficulties of the Challenge Mode in record time. Here's a TAS of the Story Mode too though!

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 is the third game of the Tony Hawk series. This one introduced the revert and double tap tricks, which allowed for much longer and higher scoring combos. There are 8 main levels in the game, five of which have goals scattered across the level, and three competitions.

In this run, Fog skates, grinds, and flies through the air across multiple levels to complete the game as fast as possible.

We also have an "all goals and golds" run if you want to see all the goals completed as fast as possible.
