[TAS] SNES Marvel Super Heroes: War of the Gems by Dooty in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/...
TAS originally published on 2011-05-15
Marvel Super Heroes: War of the Gems is a platform game featuring Spider-Man, Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk, and Wolverine. In it, you must collect Infinity Gems (Also known as Soul Gems), which possess special powers, before they fall into the wrong hands. Luckily, you can equip the ones you have to help you find the ones you don't. This game should not be confused with an arcade fighting game with a similar name ( en.wikipedia.o...) ).
The player, Dooty ( tasvideos.org/... ), primarily uses Iron Man to boost through the game in less than 19 minutes. He does this with careful planning, clever boss strategies, and a whole lot of gems. Never once in this run does he take damage. For more information, please see the author's notes ( tasvideos.org/... ).

14:59 love how Iron Man walks in the lava for a moment just to show there was no real fear about getting burned

[@ryuken10]

This unlocked a memory I never knew I had. So weird seeing this being beaten effortlessly considering 8 yr old me had "fond" memories of constantly dying yo the water level.

[@eatingmage603]

Also, its really cool to see some of these older designs for Marvel characters before the MCU took over, like Nebula's design at 17:45

[@frankhorrigan1508]

Tbf Nebula looks exactly like her MCU variant, except that this one has less clothes

[@silencio00]

@@frankhorrigan1508 yep, original Nebula looks very different.

[@IanZWhite00]

Something I love about the way Doctor Doom shows up and Iron Man just starts silently beating his ass

[@Adeptzed]

So interesting that Wolverines claws sound like the PP7 'pew pew' on GoldenEye 007 on N64...

[@Jetanium]

Dooty, such a great name.

[@SLZeroArrow]

Sounds like a fart noise *yes, I am immature*

[@seanmarsh8411]

Ol Logan with the Snipe Shots lol

[@manduheavyvazquez5268]

Masterpiece ever. Greatness

[@ddespair]

Palette swap bosses are the laziest video game shortcut. Also, are those loading segments before the boss fights?

[@JonasValim]

The hit balloons are awesome in this game!

[@briana.9395]

So this is where Marvel Super Heroes/Marvel vs. Capcom got their character poses and moves from?

[@jojobizadTRASH]

The arcade game came out a year before this. This was basically a corner-cutting port for those who wanted the Marvel experience at home.

[@TheRealBDouble]

Most of the sprites are pretty close to the arcade game. Blackheart in particular looks ripped straight from the arcade

[@annuskasouza7326]

​❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊yss

[@pauljohnson936]

Spider-Man really wiped the floor with Thanos

[@Mega_Mikey]

This game had like 10 sprites

[@Mega_Mikey]

@Sister Supersonic genius? That’s quite a stretch

[@KevinLopez-ht9br]

Wolverines claws sounds like the silenced falcon 2 from Perfect Dark N64

[@chrissybee517]

Capcom made magic on the snes

[@katherinemlorelei]

I want to see new categories for this game. Stuff like only using a specific gem, or only 1 character.

[@EveyHedgehog]

Funny timing with the new prototype release of this

[@terceljr]

iornman was the best character in this game. He was easy mode. His flight move made fighting bosses and enemies pretty easy and it felt good to use. Only thing i didnt like about the game was how the supers worked. I came across it by complete accident. didnt know that there were even gem supers in the game where you had to do a ultimate combo input. it does a lot of damage to bosses.

[@cxthednalien]

I found out about supers in my 7th playthrough on accident💀

[@ElVicioFanFlasheroXD]

Buena música, increible franquicia excelente tas

[@miguelangelfelizrojas2663]

Lo amo uno de mis favoritos desde los tiempos dorados del supernes épicos como el de X-Men

[@Kaveeteh]

I just realized that the artwork on the character select screen for Spider-Man, Iron Man and Captain America all seem to be their models from Capcom's fighting arcade games. Hulk's looks to be based on an actual comic artwork, but I'm not sure where Wolverine's comes from.

[@slimballs9650]

1:21 It’s Final Fight all over again!

[@jeovanylima381]

The snow stages were taken from mega man x games

[@wonderguardstalker]

Good final input

[@ariesmercurio1869]

Mega Man with Marvel Heroes

[@GabrielJoJo2024]

7:22 Small Wolverine LoL 🤣🤣🤣

[@aSome1]

ths game taught me in my country, Brazil, there are aztec and mayan ruins haha

[@anthonyshepard1407]

18:58 Right when the music was getting serious Spidey Ended Thanos

[@Argedis]

Did this come out after Mutant Apocalypse? The music and sound effects are a downgrade, especially for Wolverine's claws. Capcom did the same thing with Megaman X2 compared to Megaman X. X2 had good music but was nowhere near as complex and rich in detail as the first game. It's like they put the B-Team in charge of the sequels

[@mikealfonsin]

What? In megaman x2 they even used a new snes "3d" tecnology to improve the graphics, x2 just has more dark colors on the backgrounds, but is better in all technical aspects

[@Argedis]

@@mikealfonsin I was referring to the soundtrack not the graphics. The first game had much more complex and detailed music. Even the Password Screen in the first game was a full song, in X2 it's literally just a 3-second loop. They clearly did not put in as much effort in the 2nd game. So I looked it up and I was right, this Marvel game came out 2-years after Mutant Apocalypse. It's basically a sequel game with different characters. Just listen to the boss theme in both games, significant downgrade compared to the intensity and passion of Mutant Apocalypse.

[@chrissybee517]

I got so filtered on X it was mad difficult...

[@chrisderkonig1379]

THANK GOODNESS!

[@jblue88hoodgamer54]

Why did you do that jump dance at 2:22 🤣🤣

[@4xlb0i90]

Good job Hulk and Cap.America xd

[@LegaciBeatz84]

Iron man is a beast on this game. I had this too when I was a young thunderCat😂

[@felipecl267]

Me: ok, you can play the keyboard in the Alaska stage Kid: I don't know how to play it Me: just feel the vibe.....

[@StevenBegal]

Oh, the old Capcom...

[@TheRealBDouble]

I like how the game implies that Iron Man only has a limited air supply...as if his sealed power armor doesn't contain a full life support system

[@marlonennes1206]

well, still not unlimited

[@obthree2830]

I swear to god I could never beat the water level in one life. That level was always the death of me

[@RocketZX]

Nebula got beat up like a normal human fighting goku in ultra speed

[@jblue88hoodgamer54]

On that Jungle stage some of the Enemies looks like She Hulk and Hawk Eye?

[@Kaveeteh]

Yeah thats kinda inspired by the comic storyline of the same name. Magus is an alternate universe/evil counterpart to Adam Warlock, and he uses fake evil versions of heroes to sow discord amongst them and help obtain the Infinity Gems for himself.

[@chiibeji4965]

freaking awesome

Fun fact. This game is included in the MVC2 cabinet from Arcade1UP. The whole cabinet is great, and I highly recommend it.

If you're going to make evil versions of heroes, you could probably do better than Alpha Flight.

[@mcasias33]

This was what SNES owners were playing while they were day dreaming about playing Marvel Superheroes on the Saturn/PS1. I thought if they pulled off Alpha 2 then just maybe, but this was not a similar effort. The game was really not that great.

[@RoadFernandez874]

who really defeated thanos? not the hulk, not iron man, not spider-man, not wolverine and not captain america, i've seen it on marvel comics the infinity gauntlet the end begins here! on comicstorian

Thanos actually became good during this time in the comics. He actually helped defeat Magus. So this game is completely incorrect.

[@zangetsudx1]

@@Judgementxxx Yes you're right but they bear the Marvel name which if you're going to use their characters and name then you need to stick to the comics or just not make a game, movie, etc.. at all. Because once you start changing things it will become trash just like we're seeing today with the MCU, Cartoon Shows, and Comics.
