[2157] NES Battletoads "game end glitch" by MESHUGGAH in 00:56.94 This thing modifies the game itself and skips straight to the end. It also was part of an all out frame war. Seems like top TAS material to me. [2104] NES Castlevania "pacifist, minimalist" by Grincevent in 12:53.41 Very entertaining run. Clever goals too, which ended up working out.

[1951] NES Bram Stoker's Dracula by Randil in 13:19.85 Somehow, this TAS stuck in my mind as being very well made, despite the horrible game it was on. I think it deserves the nomination here.

Please excuse me for nominating my own run: [1962] NES Super Mario Bros. "warpless" by HappyLee in 18:38.23 It's made with 2 full years' hard work. Every single detail is highly optimized, along with heavy glitch abuse of course. It may not have impressed you that much at this time, since it's published in early February, but it's still the highest rating NES run of last year. I'm absolutely sure that I'm not going to make a movie greater than this, because this might be the highest that I can achieve, but I'll keep on TASing and try my best to impress you with my future runs. :)
Recent projects: SMB warpless TAS (2018), SMB warpless walkathon (2019), SMB something never done before (2019), Extra Mario Bros. (best ending) (2020).

I agree, the run was terrific.
