This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/4291M.html. TAS originally published on 2020-09-22.
Kid Icarus is a classic NES platformer where the player is Pit the angel who is on a quest to defeat Medusa.
fruitbatsalad shaves off a healthy 26.78 (1,607 Frames @60 FPS) seconds from the previous movie (tasvideos.org/2947M.html) by utilizing a rapid-fire arrow trick to take down Medusa quickly, as well as several new stage routes and clipping opportunities.

This game is burned into my memory for life. Literally the second game ive ever played in my life at 4yrs old. I hated how hard those first three levels were and didnt see the maze level until way later in life due to how damn difficult this game was for me. 😅

Wait there are bosses in this game? And gameplay that isn't vertical scrolling? And more than one song?!

Once you master 1-1 (and to a lesser extent, 1-2) you’ll find a truly amazing game

I never beat this game as a kid, but it does have a reverse difficulty curve. The game gets much easier once you get the upgrades (I didn't even know about those until I grew up)

Back in the day, I was too afraid of the game because of the reapers. I told my mum, that they scare me too much and my dad told me:" Flo, take a knife out of the drawer and if it attacks you stab it. For each one, you get 50 Schillings ( pretty much for a smurf like me at the time - in Austria, we used to have Schillings before the Euro)

Isn't TAS measured by how long it takes in real time, not game-is-unpaused time? How could the pausing thing help?

@Scarybug 3 жыл бұрын

I never beat this as a kid, only after the 3DS version that gave you save states. Is there a "best ending" TAS out there? This seems like a low score%

@talongaudio939 3 жыл бұрын

There are 5 endings. The best is when Pit becomes big at the end. It requires all 5 damage upgrades and all health upgrades, the Holy/Holly bow (depending on who you ask or what manual you got), and the fire arrows and the health refill potion. Plus all 3 sacred treasures... Which there is a bad way to where you get to Medusa and are not able to kill her and have to start at 1-1 again because you were too weak. (Had it happen to me as a kid).

This is a great example of how bad the original games were if something as monotonous as this is considered a classic.there’s a reason most people gave up before beating the first level. The next two aren’t much different either and the side scrolling is a terrible auto scroller. AVGN should do an episode on this.

@DoctorMario606 2 жыл бұрын

This isn't a great example at all. Once you understand this game's mechanics its a fun experience. Of course seeing as its old it has flaws, but it's nowhere near as bad as you're making it out to be. An actual good example for a monotonous game thats considered a classic would be Ice Climber
