Karnov (NES)
"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."

Kirby Super Star
"Wow, this run took me much longer to complete than I expected. It has its share of mistakes, but Im happy with it: my goal was to get the run somewhere under 16 minutes. The basic strategy was to go to Mecheye first and collect Yo-Yo and Plasma powers, then go to the other planets besides Halfmoon in reverse order. Yo-yo is good for running through the stages since the Break Spin goes faster than just running. Plasma, if you didnt know from my Arena run, is good for bosses. I pick up Hammer in Cavios since it saves some time over Plasma against Buggzy and the Computer Virus.

Kirby's Dream Land (GB)
"My initial goal was 12 minutes. I fell short of this as a result of several factors, the most significant of which was the *copious* amount of boss randomness in this game. Potentially, boss patterns can affect anything up to a minute or more during a single playthrough. Execution, luck, all-inclusive seldom fell into place, and even then, our good friend Murphy's law often struck me down where it hurt the most (thanks a dozen to HAL Labs for forcing us through the whole damn boss line-up again at Mt. Dedede... cheers). I became disheartened as a result, and my boss battles aren't quite as good as they could have been. My first encounter with Lololo & Lalala is particularly cringeworthy.

Low G Man: The Low Gravity Man (NES)
"Because there is no tas or prior speed run of this game I had to think of all the strategies used in this run myself. Powering up Low G Man early is key to running this game so I made sure that every item dropped in the first level was a power up and not a potion or points. Secondary weapons are best used to clear out weak enemies and do not work well on bosses. All bosses were done well except 5-1's and some levels could have been done better. I wasn't lucky enough to get the fully powered up jump in this run which did screw me over in a couple levels, especially 3-3.

Marble Madness (NES)
"Marble Madness is possibly one of the all-time greatest arcade games for the NES, and, despite how laughably simple it looks, the game is very difficult to master. Hopefully it makes for a very short but entertaining download as my brother manages to beat the game extremely quickly and with no deaths. (BTW, thanks go out to SDkess for providing very, very close competition and sportsmanlike enthusiasm).

Mega Man X5 (PS)
Anyway my goal for this was to get a 15:00 run and that's probably possible by skipping Dark Necrobat's stage. Someday I'll come back to do one. Right now I'm working on an 8 boss X X5 run and an X6 run where I go collect the armors. The reason I do that is that the Blade Armor is required so I thought might as well pick up Shadow Armor too.

Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
"The demo starts with more items than you do in the game, such as light & dark beam, and contains many rooms from the game but in different orders. The demo ends after a brief trip to the dark world, with a fight that is for a Dark Temple Key in the full game. The time of 5 minutes and 12 seconds is from the start of control to the end.

Mystical Ninja starring Goemon (N64)
"I could go into deep detail about all of the fights, but I shall not due to it being some time since I ran it and I have forgotten if I wrote any comments back then. A perfect run of this could possibly be less than 10 minutes including cutscenes, but I am not that perfect. Missing with the chain pipe can cost some seconds.

Ninja Gaiden (NES)
"Although very difficult and frustrating, The Ninja Gaiden Trilogy are definitely 3 of my favourite games. I decided I would attempt speed running all the Ninja Gaidens after being inspired by the runs I watched here at SDA, and what better one to start with then the first?

Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword of Chaos (NES)
"Ninja Gaiden II is one of my favorite NES games, and because of the shadow ninjas, it's definitely my favorite game from the NES's Ninja Gaiden trilogy. Figuring out which items to get and which items to pass by was quite a task. Each scroll (according to the instruction manual, these are officially called Scrolls of the Spirit of the Dragon) increases Ryu's maximum limit of ninja power by 10, so getting each scroll was necessary because using subweapons against the bosses saves a significant amount of time.

Ninja Gaiden III: The Ancient Ship of Doom (NES)
"For this run, one of the most significant improvements occurs in stage 3-1A. I skip the max-ninpo power-up; doing so allows me to reach the two diagonally moving platforms soon enough that I don't have to wait for them. Using this strategy saves about five seconds.

Out of this World
"Out of this World is an old action-adventure game (with some of the earliest polygonal graphics) that is nearly impossible to play without dying a lot.
