I'm referring to this: https://www.mariowiki.com/Super_Mario_Bros.#Hard_mode For such a historic and iconic game, I'm surprised that there aren't any TAS videos made of its hard mode: https://tasvideos.org/1G I would love to see both a "warps" and "warpless" run of Super Mario 1's "2nd quest".

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2r2OTTddOaY My questions are mainly regarding the mechanics of the "bomb" attack. It's been a long time since I've played Gyruss, so I can't remember all the rules regarding the bomb attack. 1. Is the bomb attack able to destroy the "pod" bosses' pods even when the pods are closed (which makes them immune to normal attacks)? If yes, then more time could have been saved in this speedrun by using 1 bomb to take out 2 pods (for the later pod bosses with more/adjacent pods) as long as there is sufficient bomb ammo. 2. Is it also possible to destroy all 3 spaceship bosses (Stage 27 at 17:20 in the video) with 1 bomb? 3. Also, I noticed that even when playing near-perfectly, the player only accumulated so little bomb ammo in total. Is there a way to manipulate more bomb powerups spawning (at the cost of some time) in order to acquire more bomb charges to kill some of the later (more difficult) bosses more quickly (thereby saving time overall)?

After watching this TAS (http://tasvideos.org/3758S.html) recently, I realised that there is a tier system for videos, and I was wondering if Gyruss could have a chance of being in the Vault tier. Are there any TAS runners/creators who are fans of this game? It's one of my all-time favourite games and I would just like to see what happens if it's played in theoretically the best way possible.

Finally, a Tails run from either of Sonic 2 or 3. I've been looking for one since I started watching TAS videos from this site as Tails is my favourite character. Hopefully in the future, there will be TAS runs of Tails in Sonic 2 and Super Tails in Sonic 3.

Hi. I'm interested in watching a TAS speedrun of this game. Here are a couple of videos that show the gameplay: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kv1BdfohY-E http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-oWArgnL1o I don't know if it will take too long because I can't find any info on how many stages (called "scenes" in this game) this game has. All I know is that each scene transitions from day to afternoon to night and back to day again. Is anyone interested in making a speedrun video for this?

Hi. I tried searching for "Gyruss" in both the forums and the Search page, but there hasn't been any official time attack made by anyone yet. It also doesn't seem to be a serious work in progress by anyone. Are there any plans to make a time attack of this game in the future? After watching the Gradius video, which was one of the best I've seen so far, I feel that maybe Gyruss could look very nice too (from a different perspective than a normal side-scroller).
