[TAS] SNES Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts by Ferret Warlord in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/...
TAS originally published on 2009-06-07
Arthur's fiancée is once again kidnapped by demons soon before their marriage. Once more Sir Arthur must brave the forces of the underworld in his skivvies. Watch as Ferret Warlord runs through this infamously hard game in record time!
Normally, to fight the final boss of the game, you must play through the game twice. To make the movie less repetitive, Ferret Warlord uses a code to start at the final bosses of the first playthrough. Furthermore, the player must have a special weapon in order to fight the final boss, and this weapon can only be found when the player has fully upgraded armor. Ferret Warlord obtains this weapon at the end of the first autoscrolling level.

Take a key for coming in.

I wonder if Prin Prin says that afterwards.

Nice catch!

Use a jimmy instead...

[@JonasValim]

One of my greatest SNES feats was to complete this game (no Sardius) without miss any life, in the console itself! You have just to memorize all screens and enemies in the game and master the jump. I used the double arrow weapon the entire game.

[@code4dragon256]

Funny “no sardius”. 5 mins just isn’t enough to get up the lvl, grab the bracelet, and have time to beat the duo boss. With save states on the switch I finally saw the ending. 👍🏼

[@LITTLE1994]

Very impressive, giving how dang difficult this game is.

[@xXHerrZockXx]

Fun fact: The Developers actually thought this would be an average player, so they made sure noone would get bored. 👏

[@Fratusbawa]

One of my favorite childhood game, I can't remember how many times I palyed it. The TAS made me wonder if I'm still worthy so I'm going to play it right now.

[@AbbaZaba00]

The showing off in the raft section made me lmao remembering how mad I got memorizing that section for the first time. Great stuff

[@rune_425]

One of the most impressive TAS plays to me.

[@BuddyLee23]

I just wish he would have programmed in the “nice catch!” with the key grab. I thought that was such a fun, low-key Easter egg.

[@FerretWarlord1]

I actually don't know about this! What this trick involve?

[@TheBarser]

Isnt he cheating? I dont know this channel, but just saw the battletoad one which was obviously fake

[@Cool-fr8dv]

@@TheBarser it isnt cheating, theyre used to know a hypothetical fastest time for a game. TAS makers can manually enter inputs per frame in order to see a hypothetical breaking point and to see what can be accomplished.

[@TheBarser]

@@Cool-fr8dv I had no idea that is what TAS meant

[@Resident_Stevil]

Astaroth: Arthur has quite a long way to go. He'll never reach this castle! Arthur: Nah I'm already here. Astaroth: THA FUCK!?

[@justmakethiswork]

Seeing the bold colors and graphics brought me back to a time when the SNES was new. Great memories and a great TAS run. Thanks!

[@patrikairosto6402]

This is the most confident gameplay I´ve ever seen. It made me want d to play the game exactly this style, so i booted it up, excited to at least make it to the water-level unhurt. I failed after 15 seconds.

[@lukasvideosify1596]

Wow, that was next-level! The dude was mocking the game as the game used to mock me. Also good to know that I am not the only one who found hard to beat. Never made it beyond the ice world. I played it on a Gameboy Advance, though, and had the additional problem that the battery was running out.

[@carlosterra9287]

You jump the first part of the quest. This is the deceptive one, when you discover that need to do all again.

[@luisfernandomiguelpiris252]

Parece que se acaba la canción 🎵 del final y no hay créditos como el de arcade cuando aparece la 👸

[@mrknowitall3880]

Good job like your videos hope you do more snes games

[@hansapils4889]

Can you explain how the tas manages to hit the last level at the start ?

[@djpheeze]

Super Ghouls has a level-select cheat that you can use to choose your starting level (you can just about see it 12-13 seconds into the video). It doesn't skip the requirement to play through twice though. If you don't want to play through twice, you have to skip to the last-but-one level, then get sent back to the start, THEN play through and finish it.

[@djpheeze]

The cheat requires a controller in port 2 (for a game that has no 2-player mode) - on controller 2, you hold UP and a bunch of other buttons, then press START and you get the level select menu. I genuinely never learned what the buttons were; on SNES I just used to hold UP and pretty much all the buttons on the P2 controller, then press START and it works. On emulator you can just map all P2 buttons and UP to the same input and it should work.

[@FerretWarlord1]

I used a cheat code because I figured playing through twice would be boring to watch.

[@LITTLE1994]

​@@FerretWarlord1Makes a lot of sense.

[@hansapils4889]

aaah i have read it in your description sorry xD

[@PanagiotisPolitis-bl9xj]

How did the chest at 3:21 not give the golden armour?

[@morrowlterraslove]

It’s because the chest in 3:02 supposed to contain the golden armor and yes how it works is once the chest is spawned the item is determined what you get, not the item you get from opening the chest

[@sporedoutofmymind]

step 1: get the knife step 2: get the knife step 3: get the... scythe?

This should’ve been the first game on the channel but Tas fanboys don’t get it And you never will because you were trying to cheat mega man after you beat it. It must be so incredibly sad to cheat edit video games you can already win. And like I said this is a very hard game this should’ve been the first game on the channel.

I have never gone past level 2 (will correct that soon), yet i saw a bit of level 3 here and is strikingly similar to a SMW hack i made, i probably watched a bit of this when it was published (2009) and somehow 10 years later those level design decisions were still lingering in the back of my mind.
