|[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pJKBcx9x_Y|https://tasvideos.org/media/6036M.png]|''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 [user:Dimon12321], [user:Aglar] & [user:dragonxyk] improve upon the [1128M|previous movie] by [module:frames|amount=2484] by exploiting the collision physics between the two chipmunks which causes them to zip across the levels, as well as some other neat tricks.|
||[4840M]|__Authors__: [user:Challenger], [user:eien86]%%%__Commentary__: [user:SBDWolf] and [user:dwangoAC]||
|[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIs4cuMhNbU|https://tasvideos.org/media/4840M.png]|The original ''Castlevania'' is set in the year 1691. Simon Belmont must fight his way through the castle and destroy Count Dracula. [user:Challenger] and [user:eien86] improve the [4342M|predecessor movie] by [module:frames|amount=408] seconds, thanks to better optimization of the scroll glitch as well as more clever ways of utilizing it.|

|[https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SamsaraTAS/huh/refs/heads/master/gim.png]|''Gimmick!'' (1992) is another gem from Sunsoft, the company that brought us ''[2414M|Ufouria]'' and ''[2002M|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 [user:SeraphmIII], [user:Samsara], [user:negative_seven] and [user:SBDWolf], using the [3168M|previous movie] by [user:Aglar], [user:Hotarubi] and Samsara as a base.|
||[4119M]|__Authors__: [user:Tompa], [user:hidaigai]%%%__Commentary__: [user:Tompa] and [user:dwangoAC]||
|[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trGzXqBE1Cc|https://tasvideos.org/media/4119M.png]|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 [module:frames|amount=1526] seconds faster than the [3117M|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 [6599S|submission notes].|
