Cherry Rescue! GB. Short homebrew platformer. Rescue your sister or be turned into a pie. The tunes in this are great. 🍒youtube.com/watch?v=CGczVy…

Hermano Game Boy. Homebrew platformer where you get resurrected to save your mourning kidnapped brother from a demon. Throw your skull as your attack. 💀youtube.com/watch?v=gXYV__…

Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland NES. New homebrew, quick to learn. Easy skips playing the attic stage, just route the fastest coins to unlock the last stage. SRC timing this is under 14 (13:55) but prefer to stop on fadeout, makes more sense. 🪛👶youtube.com/watch?v=_7nTrb…

Steel Legion NES. Homebrew by Aeon & Star Interactive | Steel Legion (NES). Shooter/platformer with different areas connected. I collect the necessary stuff before doing the bosses, and grab a HP upgrade which is right next to the first boss. The grind comes down to that sewer jump. youtube.com/watch?v=cv8xUI…

Did some more Steel Legion NES attempts, practiced better boss fights and while not perfect managed to get sub 10 with this route. youtube.com/watch?v=fLbYPd…

Oops broke the game youtube.com/watch?v=O5UY-l…

Ran some more Steel Legion for one last big time save, which is not going for the extra health pickup. Just needed to learn the last boss with less health. youtube.com/watch?v=uw_43_…

Tsuru Pika Hagemaru: Mezase! Tsuru Seko no Akashi on Famicom. Platformer / Adventure game based on the manga. You can bounce high on enemies or roll to be invincible. When you don't know the language just learn the menu options like me, there are a lot. youtube.com/watch?v=-QJJkX…

Dezaemon for Famicom. A shmup level creator, has 3 stages with credits at the end so I consider beating them as any% for this short game. Free speedrun to learn. Drops are random and stacking missiles is the ideal weapon for the multiplying enemy wave. 🚀youtube.com/watch?v=tKSLaF…

Nagagutsu wo Haita Neko: Sekai Isshuu 80-nichi Daibouken on Famicom. The original Puss 'n Boots game. Uses 2 warps. Worse than the NES version as you don't heal between stages + the music is unbearable. Beat fastest time I could find by over a minute. 🐱 youtube.com/watch?v=3Qsfp_…

Keroppi to Keroriinu no Splash Bomb! on Famicom. An adventure maze with Bomberman gameplay. Using deaths iframes to save time in some rooms by passing. Bosses + some enemies have random patterns, making it a bit challenging. Lowered WR by over 1.5min. 🐸 youtube.com/watch?v=ZDKdFE…

Plasma Ball on Famicom. Can be described like an action dodgeball game. Fight opponents 1 on 1 with different abilities. Powerups randomly spawn in the center, can be good or bad. 6 opponents though the last one is basically a gauntlet match against all. youtube.com/watch?v=m6lQUV…

Antz for Game Boy Color. Platformer based on the better ant movie from the 90s. Run went deathless though took 3 tries to get the skip the TAS does in stage 15 where I lost the most time. Enough for under 22 and lowered the WR by about 4 minutes. 🐜youtube.com/watch?v=VOYYlb…

Ran more of Antz as zips were found. I routed 3 zips in this run, I also found a shortcut which saved time in the 2nd last stage, something the old TAS missed. Now I have 3 stages faster than it. 1.5minutes faster than my zipless run. 🐜 youtube.com/watch?v=sCUVna…

I’m glad I went this route a few years ago of not spending too long on one game. It let me explore more obscure games and figuring out a route was more enjoyable than doing an already routed game. That isn’t saying I haven’t done any routed games since in which I found new strats

Sgt. Rock: On the Frontline GBC. Based on the DC Comics character. A top down shooter, you can 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?si…
