![[movies]](/images/mediatype_movies.gif) | Karate Kid (NES) - 03:23 (US version, emulated speedrun) - Josh Ballard (aka. FunkDOC)
Hey all, here's my improved (12 seconds faster than v1) timeattack for this semi-famous NES game, using FCE Ultra. This is known as one of the shortest games for this system, and I believe that this would be the third-shortest full-game completion of an NES game on this site if it is accepted (only Friday the 13th and Atlantis no Nazo would beat this, and the latter uses warps). Anyway, it's actually kind of tough to keep moving forward as much as I do in the movie due to the game's horrible con...

| Karnov (NES) - 09:04 (US version, emulated speedrun) - Jeff C (aka. Arc)
I have made this timeattack because of Zoizite's Movie Quality Challenge. This timeattack is 56 seconds faster than Aroduc's current Karnov timeattack. Only a few seconds of this improvement are because of routing changes; the improvement is almost entirely because of faster gameplay/tactics. This game has timeunits that are each equal to about one second of real time. Here are the improvements for each level, compared with Aroduc's movie: * Level 1: 2 timeunits faster * Level 2: 4 timeunits fas...

| Katamari Damacy (PS2) - Single-segment 0:30:26 - Tom Batchelor - Tom 'slowbro' Batchelor
Single-segment speed run of Katamari Damacy, done on August 3 2006. Available in six versions: low/normal quality DivX, and normal/high/insane/low quality H.264 MPEG-4. Author's comments: First and foremost, I've gotta say that Snapdragon's videos from 2005 were instrumental to me in doing this run. In most stages I did begin by practicing them a bunch without ever having seen Snapdragon's videos, so that my videos would be different from his, but then I watched his videos carefully and implemen...

| Kid Chameleon (Genesis) - 14:18 (Any version, emulated run) - A. Berglin (aka. Truncated)
Here it is, Kid Chameleon for the Genesis - probably the game with the most submissions of which none have been published. In retrospect, I can admit that it was fair to reject my previous submission - this one is more than a minute faster. I never expected it could be improved that much. This platformer is generally considered pretty hard. You die easily and often get lost and go in circles because of the ways the levels are set up...

Author's comments: I played and beat this game for the first time around the beginning of January, and then decided to explore its speedrunning capabilities. This was also the first time I beat the game without dying. This game does not lend itself to repeated playing, so I was pretty happy that this came out so nice. First, I need to thank Daniel Remar for his Kid Icarus FAQ, which explained in great detail how to get the weapon upgrades, which is extremely non-obvious...

Single-segment speed run of Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards with 100% shard collection done on July 30 2005. Available in normal and low quality. Author's comments: Kirby 64 is unique. Not because of Kirby's abilities, or the combo powers, but because you can become a curling stone. (check out 4-3 and 4-4) I love this game. It has what I think to be one of the coolest final bosses and the coolest final boss music...

It's a long (short) movie of this ridiculous game. Enjoy. The author controls both players when applicable rather than letting the CPU operate the helper. Notes from author: "Here is a run of Kirby Super Star that makes use of the game's 2-player capabilities. This was pretty difficult, because I am not two people (and I only have one small keyboard). My aim was still to make this as fast as possible, so I don't use the second player in places where it would only slow me down...

Available in normal and low quality. Author's comments: Hmm... there's really not much to say about the runs, they're pretty straightforward.

Author's comments: My run follows the same route as Bartz's previous run, grabbing Bomb in Stage 1, grabbing Crash in Stage 2 for LoLoLo and LaLaLa, and obtaining Sword in Stage 3 for the rest of the game. All that's left is optimizations in actions. Due to the new schoolyear starting up, I've settled for this 3:51 run there's quite a few seconds lost in its course...

Author's comments: The most thanks should probably go to Quasar84's Damage FAQ on GameFAQs, to provide a good starting point on how to defeat the bosses the quickest. I try to use as efficient an amount of charges as possible to defeat each boss, by balancing the number of Laser and Wave Cannon shots used. Sometimes I use the Spark as well but it works out in the end...
