I finished this a little while ago, partly out of guilt from shooting down /*-'s run of this game, and mostly because making a run of this game would be easier than almost anything else I had planned to do. I'd been sitting on it until I have time to get involved in the site again (sorry for disappearing like that), but I don't know when that will happen so I may as well submit it now. It's 100 seconds faster than /*-'s run.
The main tricks for speed are dashing off edges and abusing the dive attack, and jumping on the first possible frame to maintain full speed. Left+right trick didn't turn out to be useful compared to other things. Wall climbing and kicking don't work in berserker mode which is why I stop using the dive attack or don't use berseker for some bosses. Some of the jumps made aren't supposed to be possible but have a 1 frame margin to work, including jumping on top of those snow barriers. Sabretooth isn't supposed to die in the chasing levels. In general this run makes the game look a lot easier than it is, even though it's not a really hard game. Those fights with the silver robots (shivas) were the hardest parts to do quickly.

!!! nitsuja! Nice to see you back here, if only briefly. I hope this isn't the only time you pay us a surprise visit. I haven't seen the movie yet but I will check it when it's not in the middle of the night anymore.

Ninjas don't die, they just vanish ;) I never played the game (except now for a few minutes before watching), but the movie entertained me. Although the last boss-fight was a letdown (I was surprised to see the game finished, I expected something more interesting for the last boss), I'll give this a yes-vote. How unexpected.

This looks like a pretty interesting game and the run is good so I'll vote yes. Always good to see nitsuja around!

I don't know how I feel about this run. It seems well played and all that jazz, but the game seems really repetetive for the first half of it. Once you get the double jump and dive moves, it picks up a bit, but not by much. I did like the Sabretooth 'instances', and you showed off some cool maneuvers later in the game. However, I was never really impressed enough to think that I would want to see this again. Maybe it's just me? Dunno, but I'll give this a meh.

The game itself is pretty nice (for a generic GBA action), and the run looks good, too. Voting yes.

Yes vote, mostly because the alarm music made me laugh. :D
