Showcased Runs
| [6036] NES Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers "2 players" by Dimon12321, Aglar & dragonxyk in 08:43.47 | Authors: Dimon12321, Aglar, dragonxyk Commentary: Dimon12321 and dwangoAC |
|---|---|
 | Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers is a 1990 action platforming game developed and published by Capcom, based on the Disney animated series of the same name. The gang goes out on a simple mission at first to rescue a kitten, but is then revealed to be a trick by "Fat Cat" to capture Gadget and make her work for him. Now the rescue rangers have to rescue their companion in an unexpected twist in fate. This run illustrates very well the advantage of using two-player mode, which Dimon12321, Aglar & dragonxyk improve upon the previous movie by 00:41.40 by exploiting the collision physics between the two chipmunks which causes them to zip across the levels, as well as some other neat tricks. |
| [4840] NES Castlevania by Challenger & eien86 in 10:12.13 | Authors: Challenger, eien86 Commentary: SBDWolf and dwangoAC |
 | The original Castlevania is set in the year 1691. Simon Belmont must fight his way through the castle and destroy Count Dracula. Challenger and eien86 improve the predecessor movie by 00:06.80 seconds, thanks to better optimization of the scroll glitch as well as more clever ways of utilizing it. |
| #9341: Samsara, web2000, negative_seven, SBDWolf, Aglar & Hotarubi's NES Gimmick! in 04:12.38 | Authors: SeraphmIII, Samsara, negative_seven, SBDWolf, Aglar, Hotarubi Commentary: SBDWolf and dwangoAC |
 | Gimmick! (1992) is another gem from Sunsoft, the company that brought us Ufouria and Journey to Silius. It was only released in Japan and Scandinavian countries, but eventually achieved something of a cult status thanks to its refined gameplay, as well as exceptional music and graphic design. The plot follows a green toy on a quest to rescue a little girl from the clutch of other toys, who were rightfully upset at her forsaking them in favor of our protagonist. What these other toys can't do, however, is conjure stars to use them both as projectiles and very effective transportation devices! This is a live premiere of a new any% run from SeraphmIII, Samsara, negative_seven and SBDWolf, using the previous movie by Aglar, Hotarubi and Samsara as a base. |
| [4119] SNES Donkey Kong Country by hidaigai & Tompa in 07:24.68 | Authors: Tompa, hidaigai Commentary: Tompa and dwangoAC |
 | Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong are on a quest to retrieve the former's banana horde from the Kremlings. They are doing it as quickly as possible, without bothering to enter all the bonus rooms. This run is 00:25.43 seconds faster than the previous submission, mostly due to new routes using glitches in the levels Jungle Hijinx and Platform Perils. To understand what is going on in more detail, we suggest reading the submission notes. |
