This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/...
TAS originally published on 2011-08-09
Super Castlevania IV is the first game in the Castlevania series for the SNES. In it, Simon Belmont, equipped with the ability to whip in 8 different directions, sets out to vanquish Dracula yet another time.
In this run, the authors, arukAdo ( tasvideos.org/... ), Bablo ( tasvideos.org/... ), Cardboard ( tasvideos.org/... ), and scrimpeh ( tasvideos.org/... ) obsolete a seven year old movie ( tasvideos.org/... ) by over a minute and a half by a different subweapon choice, new tricks and better optimization. For more details, as always, please see the authors' notes ( tasvideos.org/... ).

Gotta be my favorite Classicvania out of all of them. Sure it was regarded as way too easy but it just felt right to play. I also loved the overall atmosphere of the game, it felt like a real journey. Also, the soundtrack has some of the most underrated/under-remixed pieces in the series! The Clockwork Mansion music is incredible, as well as the Treasury's, and the Library's. I would replay this game any day.

One of my aunt's brought Final Fight for the SNES for me on my birthday. I never opened it, didn't want it. She was kind enough to give me the receipt. I had to go to Montgomery Wards to change it in. And the newest release? Of course, this is what I went home with. One of the better decisions I have made in life.

Some thoughts: 1.) The BGM for “Forest of Monsters” is fucking sublime. 2.) Simon Belmont is clearly a hold-out from the 80’s cocaine culture; I just watched him swing a whipthree times in a second and before that, he hopped across a body of water like Jesus playing hopscotch.

this tas was recommended to me because i play nes cv, and i thought "huh, ok, let's finally see what it looks like on the snes." great tas, but wow, this game really looks like an early snes game. with the exception of the 3d and effects, the uninspired sprite color schemes and overall feel are reminiscent of cv2 and the music basically avoided most of the percussion until 30m in? weird.
