[TAS] Genesis Super Hydlide by TheAxeMan in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/...
TAS originally published on 2023-03-07
Super Hydlide is the Sega Genesis remake of Hydlide 3: The Space Memories (ハイドライド３ 異次元の思い出), which was originally released only in Japan for the MSX, PC-88, Famicom, and other systems. It has a simple plot of a hero trying to find the source of an ominous evil after the main fairy of his land disappears and a mysterious fissure opens up in the middle of the land. It has a number of features that were novel for RPGs at the time such as hunger, sleep, and weight meters, and it even makes the genre transition from traditional European fantasy to space sci-fi for a brief moment.
TheAxeMan ( tasvideos.org/... ), having studied the mechanics of the game, manages to bullrush through the game at a low level and beat it in record time. For details on those mechanics and how the run was performed, you can read the author notes ( tasvideos.org/... ).

literally in the description.

[@raticus79]

Nice to see they got it working with closed captions - there was an earlier Crystalis run that had them saved but they didn't come through

[@DouglasZwick]

@@Jokerbuzzed I suspect that alrepedo35 was thanking the channel for uploading this, because it was needed.

To be fair, super hydelide isn't as bad as the other two. Looks... passable?
