Completing this game on an original SNES legitimately is one of my greatest achievements.

[@OrionAltHist]

This game's pretty cheap tho - enemy hitboxes are really weird and the level design is all trial and error.

[@Turbotef]

I found it to be a complete slog and went back replayed the Genesis version instead. It is a decent game but they needlessly padded it out too much

Hahahaha that first one's a killer. Me and a buddy beat the game one time, but man, it literally took us all day. Edit: And to be fair, my buddy beat way more of the game than I did.

I was all like, yeah... fuck that, I've completed it as far as I'm concerned.

You got to the end of the game as a kid, thats something

When i beat it as a kid i just let the end scene going for couple of hours :D

The third loop of this game puts Wily 2 from Mega Man & Bass to shame.

Even a supercomputer couldn’t calculate those numbers!

[@mresturk9336]

I remember seeing that ending bug while playing the game as a child. I was slow to adopt the "y = attack, b = jump" SNES controller conventions so I would use the NES style controls option in this game like NME used in this run. Didn't get used to the default style until Contra 3 and its lack of custom control options forced me too.

[@NeuralNetProcessor]

The Steiner math thing was a delight to hear

[@PoisonInc]

I consider beating this game one of my greatest lifetime achievements. It cost a lot of what I once was, but oh well.

Mr Beegle he had fun. This game is extremely tough.

[@gregnubody3871]

@@MrBeegs88 yup

[@mr.battle20]

Regarding the 'ghouls' in the game: George Romero, godfather of the zombie film genre, said that he never saw his creations as "zombies". Rather he said they were "ghouls", as zombies were a different thing entirely (people put under a spell or curse by a Voodoo witchdoctor). Therefore, the title "Ghouls and Ghosts" is actually fitting.

[@Phillyjoe2]

Amazing run! My mate and I spent three hours the other week getting past the first level!!! Love the Steiner maths and "You Talk Too Much" rapping too!

[@michaeltan7625]

I only watch speedruns of games I've beat myself cuz I don't want spoilers and prefer to have context on how difficult the tricks are compared to casual runs. I just beat this game (the first loop, haven't gotten to true final boss yet) so I can finally check the speed run out. I beat it on an emulator, using save states at checkpoints because I just can not stand learning how to beat the entire game all in one go (it is very trial and error based). Man it must take a lot of patience to learn the ropes of this game on og hardware. I don't think I even have the energy for a gaming session that long.

[@BenKLode]

1 second below the estimate! What a champion!

[@MrTheMighty]

Didn't expect the Scott Steiner reference there. Well done!

[@nawnomadnan9874]

[@theendoftheworldasweknowit3858]

One second under estimate... nice.

[@CTEpoch]

That was a fantastic run!!! Great job NME!!!

[@Magic_beans_]

And they called him: The Estimator.

[@GoldenSun5631]

You know its funny... with the Switch online "Save State" feature, this game isn't really long at all... even when compared to other SNES games of its era. Even a scrub gamer like me finished it in like 1 hour and 40 mins using the "Save state" feature. Its that brutal, arcade style difficulty that sends you to the beginning of the stage that gives this game its notoriety. I still see it as the original dark souls lol. Great run. Also, learned from the AVGN the mantra that everyone who plays this needs to know - "GET THE KNIFE" (yeah its a dagger, but that chant got stuck in my brain lol)

[@ickybobclay26]

[@tigerwarrior1787]

WHAT?!

Look it up. Monks have a list for proficient weapons, not something like "all simple weapons plus x, y, and z) and in the weapons table in chapter 7, Unarmed strikes are in the Simple weapons section.
