[TAS] NES Kid Icarus by fruitbatsalad in

[@manray0703]

This game is burned into my memory for life. Literally the second game ive ever played in my life at 4yrs old. I hated how hard those first three levels were and didnt see the maze level until way later in life due to how damn difficult this game was for me. 😅

[@BadPrenup]

Wait there are bosses in this game? And gameplay that isn't vertical scrolling? And more than one song?!

[@LAZRGATR]

Once you master 1-1 (and to a lesser extent, 1-2) you’ll find a truly amazing game

[@nathanp928]

I've spent 16+ hours and just got past world 1. This game is tough

[@palidopali]

Oh boy you're in for some treat

[@stevenschiro1838]

I never beat this game as a kid, but it does have a reverse difficulty curve. The game gets much easier once you get the upgrades (I didn't even know about those until I grew up)

[@chrisfalcon_vt]

Subspace Emissary 8-bit looks cool.

[@theleftfootedsultan]

FBS, you’ve done it again!

[@makotroid108]

It's been an awesome journey watching you destroy this game the past couple years FBS. GG!

[@Nerfherder747]

The jumping and timing precision on display here is very impressive

[@Jadamhodges]

I like the Metroids at 14:23. Nice touch Nintendo.

[@Jadamhodges]

@@hawaiidkw1 Thank you! I definitely didn’t know that…😁

[@AdamHodges-o6x]

I really like the Metroids at 14:24. Such an interesting guest appearance!😂

[@WriggleNB]

That shop wasn't lying, he really did have everything.

[@villedocvalle]

Jesus beating this game was SOOOO fucking rewarding at the time.

[@villedocvalle]

This and Zanac were some of the toughest games to beat.

[@jwan622]

19:04 such a good flex

[@DJIncendration]

This is an interesting TAS. Unfortunately, some frames were lost.

[@avalonjustin]

No frames were injured in the making of this video.

[@sourandbitter3062]

And where would that be?

[@palidopali]

Even the TAS fears those infernal cringy death things

[@kip258]

You mean Reapers?

[@druha10304]

For some reason when I was playing Metroid dread and finally got the gravity suit I thought of the last stage music of this game

[@areoants9453]

5:07 Huh, this is interesting to watch. Nothing to exciting, but it's fun to watch the move-WHAT THE FUCK

[@Lady_Lilith666]

I think I saw such door design in Rygar... hmmm...

[@Cryseris]

i love how youtube says this is super mario bros

[@nessilian]

Back in the day, I was too afraid of the game because of the reapers. I told my mum, that they scare me too much and my dad told me:" Flo, take a knife out of the drawer and if it attacks you stab it. For each one, you get 50 Schillings ( pretty much for a smurf like me at the time - in Austria, we used to have Schillings before the Euro)

[@kioki666]

Mario movie brought me here

[@Belnick6666]

I wonder what the real speed run time is, one without cheats and glitches

[@Cookieofdoom]

You? We have everything.

[@rawkfistgaming]

I wonder if those wall clips in dungeons are RTA-viable, especially the dungeon 3 skip.

[@talongaudio939]

It is. Sgdq 2020 proves it.

[@VJFranzK]

2:37 how did he "walk right past"?

[@Bartholamue]

I wonder, would this run be even faster if it wasn't limited by the game's auto scrolling mechanic?

[@Jotinho]

Probably

[@taijuu3594]

Absolutely

[@TrikeHard]

If someone tried to say this was a real run id say there is no way in hell you got past those damn frogs without getting hurt yes im aware it's a tas

[@sourandbitter3062]

It's a TAS. jk

[@Scarybug]

I never beat this as a kid, only after the 3DS version that gave you save states. Is there a "best ending" TAS out there? This seems like a low score%

[@talongaudio939]

There are 5 endings. The best is when Pit becomes big at the end. It requires all 5 damage upgrades and all health upgrades, the Holy/Holly bow (depending on who you ask or what manual you got), and the fire arrows and the health refill potion. Plus all 3 sacred treasures... Which there is a bad way to where you get to Medusa and are not able to kill her and have to start at 1-1 again because you were too weak. (Had it happen to me as a kid).

[@Allafif]

Apparently he's turned into a farmer, but I think he looks more like a bug trainer from Pokemon.

[@talongaudio939]

@@Allafif there is also a roman centurion, and one other besides what I mentioned already. It is based on how much you complete.

[@NevermindThee]

@@talongaudio939 There are actually two endings where he get`s big. One is really just that and the true best ending is where the godess falls in love with him, with kisses and flying cupits and all that stuff.

[@dansmith1661]

2:38 Rude

[@NeuralNetProcessor]

Who tf names their kid "Pit?"

[@Avrelivs_Gold]

I didn't realize it was published along with Metroid and Zelda Such a flop compared to those two

[@villedocvalle]

Damn, I remember trying to beat every game I could. Lol some where straight up garbage, others were golden.

[@SpyroTheEternalNight]

seizure warning 13:28 - 13:35

[@EngineerDJ_Julius]

YUMP 2 ? 100% , please 🙂

[@evanwilliams8908]

This is a great example of how bad the original games were if something as monotonous as this is considered a classic.there’s a reason most people gave up before beating the first level. The next two aren’t much different either and the side scrolling is a terrible auto scroller. AVGN should do an episode on this.

[@DoctorMario606]

This isn't a great example at all. Once you understand this game's mechanics its a fun experience. Of course seeing as its old it has flaws, but it's nowhere near as bad as you're making it out to be. An actual good example for a monotonous game thats considered a classic would be Ice Climber

[@Aethelia]

Isn't TAS measured by how long it takes in real time, not game-is-unpaused time? How could the pausing thing help?

[@user-gl8ut1wn3h]

12:57

[@zandorvorkov7257]

I never understood why so many people liked this game. I thought it was freakin' awful.
