[TAS] NES Wizards & Warriors III: Kuros: Visions of Power by Ferret_Warlord, Dacicus & Alyosha in 17:25.61
This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/2867M
TAS originally published on 2015-06-13
The third game in the Wizards & Warriors series. Having been tricked out of his victory in the previous game, Kuros once again returns to do battle on evil and pretend he will marry every princess he meets.
Most of the old run ( tasvideos.org/401M ) remains unchanged, however, a known improvement over the previous run was implemented as well as a small oversight fixed. Therefore, this is an improvement of 2.34 seconds over the previous run. (note: the actual improvement is just of over 30 frames (roughly half a second), but due to the different FPS used by FCEU and FCEUX, it passes off as more)
The ending of this game is still epilepsy-inducing.
--------
Watch this run being played back on a real console ( • [TAS Verified] NES Wiz... ).

Nice. Don't want to come across like I'm telling anyone what to do, but would be nice to see an updated version. There are a few more bugs that have been identified and implemented in RTA runs. Faster Malkil inst- kill setup for one. But biggest is the underground guardian skip meaning you don't need to get knight 1; would save a bunch of time, could probably even get a 16:xx quite comfortably.

Very nice! I was curious how the beehive skip works, and thought I'd ask a TAS creator since you guys usually know this kind of thing. Mostly I've read that it has to do with the building to the southeast, but I was hoping you would know more specifically why and how the beehive disappears. Is it some kind of pixel alignment thing, and if so how could I visually identify them?

I wish Rare and the Pickfords would make _LaserSword: Wizards & Warriors IV,_ already. :( -Also: --12:08-- - C'mon. -_-Really?-_- How did everyone miss this oversight?- -If I'd been aware of this, years ago, I would've voted "No," just for that. ;P- You're talking _crap,_ Jo Li. That door is a "3rd Thief-only" locked door. You _have_ to get kicked out. (Thank you, xJackieBx, for pointing this out!)

Late Reply, but as a Speed runner of this game, what is this "oversight" you talk about? I've watched that part 10 times now and can't seem to understand what's weird about it.

He went into the 3rd Level Wizard's Guild as a Thief. They kicked him out, he changed, then went back in. He wasted about six seconds, because of it.

@@JoLiKMC You can't open the door to wizard 3 without the 3rd thief, you have to get kicked out as there's no other way to enter

the same thing is required for knight 3 but we don't see it as it isn't needed for completing the game

…?! The _hell?_ How did I miss _that?_ That is _very obviously_ a locked door. I'm so sorry. I'll update my initial comment, accordingly. Thank you for pointing this out! (Also. Ste? Other Pickford? I love ya, but that's just _stupid_ game design.)

16:48 you don't need a key for that door? interesting. Probably a developer oversight - happens often in games. Also since part IV of this series never happened, I like to think of this time warp at the end just all the years Malkil returned and was smote down by Kuros' descendants.

You don't need a key for any of the doors once you pass the castle entrance. Even the last one that looks like a master key door can be opened by anyone. Just changed to thief 3 because he walks faster than anyone else.
