Anubis II (read: "Anubis, the Second") is a fast-paced platformer by Data Design Interactive, the creators of Ninjabread Man, Myth Makers: Trixie in Toyland and Rock 'n' Roll Adventures, all of which have virtually identical gameplay. The evil spirit Mumm'hotep has plunged Egypt into darkness, and Anubis II, the guardian of the tombs, sets out to stop him!

But it seems that this quest is much easier than it appears. After completely skipping going through the starting gate, Anubis decides to play a bunch of minigames. This somehow causes his quest to become completed. There was much rejoicing.

Castlevania: The Adventure ReBirth is a WiiWare game that was released in 2009 by Konami. It is a remake of the Game Boy game, starring Christopher Belmont, seeking to defeat Dracula.

Doc Louis's Punch-Out!! is a standalone title released after the Wii remake of Punch-Out!! as a Platinum reward for Club Nintendo members in North America. Taking place before the events of Punch-Out!!, the game sees Little Mac spar with his coach, Doc Louis, through three progressively difficult matches, which are each cleared by knocking him down once.

Awosomeandy improves on the previous movie's sparring match by incorporating a newly discovered Instant Knock-Out, saving 3.06 seconds. As with the other Punch-Out!! runs on this site, the author aims for in-game time first, then real time. The clock times achieved are listed below:

 Warm-up: 40.52
 Training: 41.83
 Sparring: 36.32

We also have a run of Super Punch-Out!! for the SNES.

Donkey Kong Country Returns is a sidescrolling platforming game for the Wii released in 2010, and was the first mainline Donkey Kong game to be released in a long time. The plot follows the Island in which Donkey Kong lives on suddenly being swarmed by the Tiki Tak Tribe, who then hypnotizes the animals on the island to bring bananas to the volcano. Although the tribe was able to steal the Kong's banana hoard, for some reason Donkey Kong couldn't be hypnotized. After punching the Tiki creature out of his hut, Donkey Kong goes out to stop the Tiki Tribe and get back the banana hoard.

TheRandomMaster, SpeedyTheHedgehog & Jaiden all shake the Wii remote to roll their way to the top of the volcano and defeat the Tiki Tak Tribe in record time.

Goldeneye: 007 for the Nintendo Wii is a full-scale re-imagining of the N64 game, and includes no assets from the original game. It takes the classic Goldeneye story and updates it to the standards of a modern first-person shooter. It also features Daniel Craig rather than Pierce Brosnan, who played James Bond in the film and the Nintendo 64 game. It has many modern features such as the ability to sprint and aim down sights.

The missions in this game are based on the ones from the classic Nintendo 64 version instead of the film. Some of the stages from the original game have been combined in this game (for example, Bunker on Wii is like Bunker+Silo on N64 and Cradle is like Control+Cradle on N64). But there are also some brand-new missions like Nightclub and Solar.

This TAS plays on the hardest difficulty, 007 Classic. Like the original N64 game, the harder difficulties have more objectives than the easier difficulties. This makes the route much more interesting because the goal isn't simply to sprint to the end of the mission. 007 Classic also removes regenerating health, so there is much more health management on this difficulty. Because a modern Call-of-Duty style FPS game with no health regeneration would be unfair, the developers added body armor that is only available on 007 classic, which the TAS makes great use of.

Since this game has roughly 35 minutes of unskippable cutscenes, the author provided a condensed video with all the cutscenes and loading screens removed.

Gummy Bears Minigolf, released in September 2010, is a licensed mini-golf game for the Nintendo Wii. You can play as one of eight different colored Gummy Bears, with four colorful mini-golf courses to choose from.

Originally submitting this as an April Fool's joke, Fog daringly went where few people had gone before by playing through this awful game. He abuses the game's poor physics whenever possible to finish every hole in the four mini-golf courses as fast as possible.

Kirby's Return to Dreamland is the 12th platforming installment in the series, and the first traditional Kirby platformer released in a decade after Kirby 64. The starship Lor Starcutter crash-lands on planet Popstar, and the extraterrestrial captain Magolor promises Kirby and friends a trip to his homeworld if they will help him find the scattered pieces of his ship in order to rebuild it. Like many Kirby antagonists before him, Magolor's true motives turn out to be nefarious, resulting in the Kirby gang once again fighting to save their galaxy.

Kirby's Return to Dreamland plays like a traditional Kirby game, seeing Kirby platforming through the game's 8 levels and inhaling foes to gain their powers. Elomavi flies through the game at incredible speed using the Wing copy ability's various fast-moving special moves (especially Condor Head). There is also a lot of flapping involved.

The author's commentary for the run is available in all of the encodes of the movie.

Mega Man 9, known in Japan as Rockman 9: Yabō no Fukkatsu!! (ロックマン9 野望の復活!!) is a video game made by Capcom and Inti Creates for the WiiWare download service, among others, in 2008. This game is notable in that despite being developed for modern consoles, it features 8-bit visuals and audio as a retro throwback to the NES entries of the series. It also features a plot twist early on in that Dr. Light's robots go on a rampage, with Dr. Wily not having any connection to the incident (or so he claims).

AngerFist and diggidoyo blaze through the game and defeat Dr. Wily once again in 30 minutes and 20.98 seconds (19:11 in-game time).

Muramasa: The Demon Blade is a trip through 16th century Japan with cool music, beautiful visuals and fast paced gameplay. Watch as the authors introduce you to Momohime, a young princess possessed by an evil spirit who proves quite adept at cutting everything in her path into tiny bits. As opposed to the previous run this one no longer plays on post-completion Shiguri difficulty, saving nine seconds by avoiding the intro sequence that comes with it.

A run of Muramasa's second character Kisuke is available here: [3248] Wii Muramasa: The Demon Blade "Kisuke" by Bernka in 1:03:49.17

Namco Museum Megamix is a compilation of Namco arcade games that also includes six "remix" games. In Pac'n Roll Remix, the player guides Pac-Man on a quest through five worlds in order to save Pac-Land from the evil ghost Golvis.

Pucca's Kisses Game is a cute little WiiWare title starring the popular Pucca, who's on a journey across dangerous areas to catch and kiss her crush, Garu.

While this is a fairly simple game, RachelB still employs some extremely precise tricks, such as wrapping the Wii Remote across the screen in one frame, to help beat it in the fastest time possible.

Rayman Origins features the return of the Rayman character in a 2D platformer. Many of the original Rayman game's characters and enemies make an appearance, like Livingstones, Electoons, Betilla and the Magician's hat. There are also various characters from Rayman 2 such as Globox, the Teensies and Lums. The game's atmosphere, however, is different from the original Rayman game and has a very "wacky" feel instead. The main objective of each level is to rescue as many Electoons as possible similarly to the original game.

keylie, as 4 players, collects the minimum Electoons required to reach the Magician and defeat him in record time.

Spider-Man: Edge of Time is an action-adventure game developed by Beenox, and is a sequel to Shattered Dimensions. The two Spider-Men (present day Spider-Man, Peter Parker, and 2099 Spider-Man, Miguel O'Hara) are trying to thwart a new threat across space and time. Both need to do what they can to save both realities, while preventing the inevitable death of Peter Parker.

Natetheman223 saves both time periods in a timely manner.

Note: This publication features alternative encodes that remove fog from the game, as many of the out of bounds sections can contain rather abrasive colors.

Aliens meet the Illuminati is basically the plot of The Conduit, a First Person Shooter exclusive to the Wii. The game was made in response to the relative lack of more "hardcore" titles for the console at the time. In this title, one plays as Michael Ford fighting against the Trust, a mysterious organization trying to control America, and the Drudge, a race of alien invaders working with the Trust. The player is able to use a variety of weapon types to fight off attackers and makes use of an artifact called the All Seeing Eye to solve puzzles.

In this TAS, NEVERDOORS uses absurd aim, out of bounds, and other glitches to finish the game in under 46 minutes, and in 40:08 ingame time.

Note: There are also lossless encodes and encodes at additional resolutions available in the discussion thread.

Wii Party is a party developed by NDcube and released in 2010. It features a wide array of different game modes, subdivided into Party Games (4 players) and Pair Games (2 players), which are more cooperative than competitive in nature and make heavy usage of mini-games, as well as House Party Games, which heavily rely on IRL social elements.

InputEvelution tackles the Friend Connection pair game and clears it in record time.
