Less than seven minutes!!?? This game filled entire weeks of my life as a child with frustration and anger... And it can be beaten in less than seven minutes!! FUUUUUCK!!!

[@ALWTunes]

I can't even imagine how many hours it took to master this to this degree. Most impressive

[@alexmcbrayer9755]

ALWTunes I was able to get to the last level after two weeks of no shit 3-6 hours a day just playing it. ...and yet, I still never beat the last level. So I can’t even imagine how long it must have taken.

[@BigMacOrange]

I'm the 69th like of this comment.😏

[@PapaKennMedia]

Not going to lie. I'm stunned. The fact that anyone beat this game, let alone SPEED RAN it, is phenomenal!

[@almasysephirot4996]

Seriously, I hated this game it was so counter intuitive to control and all-in-all shitty, never got past the second level

[@speedymatt1236]

Quick question, why is there a high score of 89999 points when this speed runner has 12830?

If there are more than 5 people in the world who beat this game during the pre internet era, I'd be shocked. I played this and dark souls. Dragons lair was about a million x tougher and not in a good way.

[@speedymatt1236]

There’s probably about 500-5000 people or smth that beat it. Just a reasonable guess. But the real question is, how many people got 90,000 points?

Mr. KartSteven: I must only admire and fear the commitment you had on making this speedrun.

To this person, where ever you are. Hats off and applause.. You are a true inspiration and i know now that anything is possible. You chose to beat this game. What was next? President? Astronaut?

I can also finish the game in 5 minutes, only just my character turns into a skeleton.

Speedrun. When I saw that on my search results I thought I was dead. But nope here it is.

you just effortlessly took a massive shit on all my childhood rage.

[@hektorlinko]

As always this video is amazing! I can't even get past the first entrance of the game. Even saw AVGN's video. The music is awesome though. Just wish I can play it. lol I'll probably use a Game Genie if it works. Great video brother! A+++

Dude just casually strolls on through, not a care in the world.

[@shane1489]

This must be the PAL version AVGM mentioned. This looks way faster.

[@TheBudCHUG]

Yep it is plus they add boss fight but still it is impressive

[@Undefined9]

If I bought this for $64.99 back in the day, or even played it, and then saw this speedrun of some guy beating it in under 7 minutes, I would probably yell so loud that the cosmos would crack.

[@speedymatt1236]

How many decibels?

Korone needs to see this

[@rasafafifu]

I hope she'll cleared this.

[@MrAddition1]

First you grind to 99 in the reactor. Then you and Acro work on taking Ruby out with no control on Red. Now you have an amazing speed run on one of the most difficult NES games I have ever tried. Is there anything you can't do?

[@TayoEXE]

Nobody ever ended up ever seeing that last congratulations screen.

[@kuruminhafan4018]

Korone is trying this for 12+ hours and this dude just did in 6 min aahuahuahuaha

[@Swybryd-Nation]

Killer chromatic diminished 7 riff at 1:28....use .25 speed playback to learn it! Even better arpeggios at 6:20 ! Wow

[@Doommaster1994]

That was a common thing with European developers.

[@dereavetheo5154]

Si le jeu se fini en 7 minutes ça veut dire qu'ils ont rendu le jeu hyper dur pour augmenter de 100 heures la durée de vie

[@MrMario65]

so on the elevator sequences or whatever.. does it matter which one you get off at like alternate paths?

[@Hoouroboros]

In this game you actually need to take the good order else you either, go back in a level you did before or (if you take the last one...) be stuck in a room where you have to fight a reaper that is almost impossible to kill!(Only to get points for the highscore that disapear after you close the console...) So yes, it matter which "stop" you take...But what's worst is that if you miss your "stop" you'll be forced to go to the reaper's room...cause it's not going up.

[@MrMario65]

Only thing that makes me angrier than playing this game, is knowing people dropped $40 on a game that can be beaten in 7 mins without cheats.

[@KartSeven]

There is a new strat for last boss, so it's possible to save around 20 seconds.

[@nanashi1173]

I’m surprised anyone cared enough to figure that out

why does this game run smoother/faster? Is it because PAL?

How do you get the axes. I have a knife when I play

[@Doommaster1994]

You have to pick them up in the level, but they are hidden unless you use the candle. The "A" icons are the axe pickups. I think there's also a Fireball ("F") attack as well.

[@CbAsT137]

good game ;)

[@CrasherX2000]

[@michaelmattioni4993]

Came here after watching the old video of AVGN failing at this. I think this game suffered from the same thing as many NES games. They didn't want to spend a ton of time making an in-depth game with a lot of content, so they just made it hard as s**t to keep you from finishing it quickly, or at all. Back then you might just assume that you're simply not good at the game and that there must be a lot more content that you're missing due to your lack of skill. Back in the day when games like this came out, with limited lives, limited continues, and no save points in most games, I just accepted that I wasn't going to beat many NES games.

[@themidcentrist]

Game developers and publishers during the NES era didn't have to worry about online reviews so they could get away with being lazy easier than they can today. Game purchases were often blind buys based on cover art and a few screen shots. Fortunately, my first blind buy was for Mega Man II so that worked out pretty well for me. Over time we pretty much figured out that Konami, Capcom = good and LJN = bad

[@MidiaBlackOps]

This is the Pal version, doesnt count

[@gaelgerard5207]

I feel like the last level is actually the easiest

[@gorule]

AVGN is amazed...again

[@depressedkermit5337]

I’m guessing this is the PAL region variant of the game which is much easier.
