Made another Unusual Things vid, going over some more glitches/skips/things I like in assorted NES games. So if you like that kind of stuff you should watch it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Djvv...

MM1 is one of my favorites so I made a little compilation showing some of the unusual things I've found/learned about it over the years. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKy0...

The spaghetti final boss bothered me so I did some practice and a few more runs and got a much better one. www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3-1...

Haunted Halloween 87 by @retrotainmentgames.bsky.social, the 3rd in the series. Out of all 3 this one is my fav run, the movement is really fun. The art and music are great. Mostly slide thru the stages and want to get certain items. 🎃🧹🧙‍♀️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtmC...

Made a quick tutorial walking thru the route for this. There were a few things I had to figure out for myself, mostly the Drac fight, so I wanted to explain them hopefully clearly. This covers all the strats I did in my run, which is kinda the baby route. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJmt...

Castlevania II on FDS. Learned the silly Any% run. You mostly walk around, hit a death warp, walk thru a glitch area to Dracula's castle, then kill Dracula with holy water crits. Quite easy to learn, just have to hit the couple hard things. 🧛 www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvVF...

Treasureman for NES, a janky search action. So janky that whatever they did, it doesn't work on console. Collect the 8 treasures, I do one nice death warp and then run around the map. Actually not too bad overall. 💎 www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRmV...

SKELOST GBC, new short platformer/shooter homebrew. 4 stages and a final boss, all in one life without health refills. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyJE...

Crazy Sue on Amiga. Basic platformer w trolly enemies/jank hitboxes 1 hit ko. Just make your way thru the stages, turned out to be pretty fun after binding Up to a real button. You can thank @jeffxvx.bsky.social for putting it on @kusogrande.bsky.social where I saw it www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAxu...

Tiny Little Slug, a search action kinda game from 2020, and my first Amiga run. Unique movement. Need to get a couple items to trade for powerups to get further, but pretty linear after that. Play on Easy to skip an early item. Really nice visuals the whole way. 🐌 www.youtube.com/watch?v=az4V...

Double Dream on NES, an updated version of a NESdev compo game. Movement is weird to get used to but once you do, it's super satisfying and you can go quite fast. All the visual touches they keep adding are really nice. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xL4L...

Back to Zap & Dash for a category I made up, beat the whole Archive area from scratch. Need to get 80 trophies to unlock the final level and beat that. This means doing well in 5 of the mini games back to back. Fun category but stressful at the end. ⚡💨 www.youtube.com/watch?v=oj07...

Der Wanderknecht, a new platformer from the SNES dev jam. Kind of an autorunner but you can optimize the route and smaller things to keep your speed up. Only 4 stages but pretty fun and very polished, like their previous games. 🏃 www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DHp...

Genievania, super short new NES game. Part of the Game Genie mini jam on NESdev, had to make games out of limitations of the Game Genie, size and graphics. This was a neat Metroid style game that I found a few skips in so had to do a run. Easy sub 10 min playthru www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DxY...

Castle of Death, Intellivision homebrew by @nanochess.bsky.social. 100 single screen rooms to run thru. Tried to find the quickest ways for each room without being super aggressive, goal was just a clean deathless run. ⚙️💀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqLK...

Malasombra, new NES game by @4mhzes.bsky.social. Sort of a Metroidvania, but mostly a linear path. Need to get 3 transformations to access areas. 2 big skips using a double jump glitch I found, skips 2 whole areas. Absolutely fantastic visuals and nice music. 🐸🐿️🦆 www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9AE...

Ghosts 'n Goblins on Game Boy Color. Zoomed in GnG? It does sound horrible. One of the toughest games I ran. RNG was brutal the entire game, couldn't find consistencies, enemy patterns were rough. First loop was pretty good under 11, with 1 unfortunate death later. 😈 www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4wg...

After Burst for Game Boy. 1 screen action game where you destroy enemy orb to advance. 3 boss fights out of 30 levels. Game is extremely laggy when enemies are present, sometimes your shot inputs are eaten. Some levels need to get quick cycles. Few unfortunate deaths. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rR3e...

Was notified Aladdin GBC has less lag when the music is off so I had to run it back. Beat my PB and the old GBC TAS too. Didn't get the Bonus game glitch in the levels I didn't collect any Genies. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3e14...

Aladdin Game Boy Color. Remastered 6 years after the GB port. Small skip in the Dungeon level, and skip the carpet ride in the last level like the GB version. Decent deathless run, you can really only die in the first and last level if you're not extra careful. 🧞 www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTcg...

Musketeer for C64, a short platformer. Run around and collect all the diamonds. Fun to route to cut out backtracking. Art and animation is great. 🤺💎 www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJ5B...

Pitchfork by @jaiware.itch.io, a short GB platformer. Pretty simple game but the movement is fun. Couple of small skips in a few rooms. 🍴 www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAd-...

MEATBALL the Mite by @junipinpan.bsky.social, a short Metroidvania for PC. Straightforward search action, but the art and animation is great. No real skips I found, so just run thru quickly. I'd recommend a playthru, it's free and not very long. 🪲 www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FZA...

Went and did a run with the other character, who is from their Asteborg series. Overall feels more consistent and faster, the downstab does double damage. Run is the same besides that. ⚔️🐦 www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKA4...

D*Fuzed for GBC. New puzzle homebrew where you collect bombs before they explode to recharge yourself. Bombs, hazards and enemy drops are all randomized, making it a bit challenging. 🤖💣 www.youtube.com/watch?v=yr5W...

DaemonClaw, a new Genesis homebrew. Stages are kinda boring, get the special weapon and roll thru. Bosses are really cool despite their RNG. Visuals are great. 🤜🐦 www.youtube.com/watch?v=_toa...

Hop 'n' Revoke, short GB homebrew. Use your portal to solve various rooms. Straightforward but pretty fun little game. 🐇⚪ www.youtube.com/watch?v=6I8J...

Castle of Deceit NES by Bunch Games. No iframes so you can get melted by anything, boss patterns are random and annoying (I got very lucky on 2 of them with a death) so I just wanted a finished run without using continues, easily beatable to whoever wishes. 🏰 🧙 www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttEw...

Anotha one, Spelunker Mario. Description says what if Spelunker had Celeste powers, and that's pretty much it. Found lots of ways to abuse the dash to negate dying from a fall. Went for the GM score as an Any% run would be super short and way less interesting. ⚡💨⛑️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbtH...

Another of the new Zap & Dash minigames, the Farewell level, which is unlocked once you earn enough points from the others. A series of hard challenge rooms and then a full small Metroid map and escape. Still impressive how much they added. ⚡💨 www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4Ch...

Rainbow Dash, one of the new Celeste Mario minigames. A powerup allows you to dash on spikes, so all the screens are build around that. Really challenging but super satisfying run, very easy to make a silly mistake. Just wanted a solid deathless run. ⚡💨🌈 www.youtube.com/watch?v=vM19...

V2.0 of Zap & Dash. Main game is identical and still amazing, but now there are 11 "minigames" added. They are full little games all in different gameplay styles, feels like they kinda went UFO 50 with the main game. Personal favorite so far is the play on Baba Is You, just wildly impressive stuff.

Runs learned: 447 (+44 categories) Best place: 1st (Charlotte's Web GBA) Worst place: 101st (Ninja Gaiden) Longest run: Kick & Fennick (Vita) 1:48:19 Shortest run: Lost World: JP (NES) 1:01 Most fun: Thrilla's Surfari (NES) Least fun: Little Mermaid (NES)

Cool World for Game Boy. A platformer where you defeat all enemies in the real world and Cool world to advance. Enemy movement patterns are random making it pretty RNG heavy. Was ahead then lost most of it but gained at the end. Based on the film which I haven't seen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMDK...

Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue for Game Boy Color. This is my Game Boy speedrun #75. Rescue hostages, defeat aliens then a Megazord fight. Get Gold rank in all missions to unlock final boss and the ending. A great Natsume game, a bit repetitive but solid. Great music as always🤖 youtu.be/jitzDVnUPqE

Tasmania Story for Game Boy. Collect all the vegetation in each stage to advance. Somewhat similar to Mappy/Mighty Bomb. Stomp on Tasmanian Tigers to save 5 different animals to unlock the ending, otherwise the game just loops over. 🐅 youtu.be/XMi2Gt1XAao

Zolf, a short golf platformer by @ismael-rodriguez.bsky.social. Golf your little alien buddy thru a handful of stages. Found a nice little skip for one of the rooms, but mostly just play thru normally. Fun little game. 🏌️👽 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dgpt...

Itchy & Scratchy in Miniature Golf Madness for Game Boy, golfing platformer. Putt through 9 stages. Avoid Itchy constantly trying to kill you along the way, you can also fight back. One stage has a neat skip where a bat carries your ball to the end. 😼⛳🐭 youtu.be/5jyqFH0VWjo

Learned Castlevania for Mobile JP cellphones, an unexplored area for speedrunning I'd say. For me it's the easiest version of CV1 to learn and play. Currently no save states available with KWL but with this short game you don't really need them. 🧛‍♂️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BDY4PCFcQ4

Dashosaur DX, a Game Boy homebrew short precision platformer. Keep running to the end and don’t get hit by the falling rocks. youtube.com/watch?v=WXEV...

Relearned Ninja Crusaders NES. The new bird strat made me want to try this out again. Plus the speedrun is very fun and killing the bosses quickly is satisfying. 🦅🥷 www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTjT...

Stage Fiend. Short Atari homebrew platform runner. With traps everywhere need to learn the level layouts first. One small death right at the end but otherwise fine with this. 🏃 youtube.com/watch?v=Jx2O...

Been speedrunning for 10 years, and wanted to make a vid going over NES runs people should check out. Here's a list of 100 runs I think are worth looking into. The idea is to give a small look at each game and then you can look up the full run if it seems interesting. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQZ6...

Sgt. Rock: On the Frontline GBC. Based on the DC Comics character. A top down shooter, youbcan ride certain vehicles as well. It gets more challenging near the end, the rng was pretty rough for me but managed to finish a run, which used all my lives. 🪖 youtu.be/O3UaAlpwmqc?...

Gonna be running it on @rgltv.bsky.social this weekend, so came back with some new strats after watching @toad22484.bsky.social learn it the other day and knocked 20 secs off www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgQL...
