Quickest Speed Run

[MajLink]

Recentally just finished Mario RPG on the VC way faster than I had ever done on the SNES.

I felt like a champ afterward.

So I was wondering, what is the quickest game you ever finished? And how long did it take?

Well there's always this: http://tasvideos.org/1124M.html

This guy does Mario RPG in 2 hours, 35 min, tool assisted. As for me, I don't remember how fast I'd ever beaten it as it's been a LONG time since I've played. I'll have to get to work fixing that.

And as for the quickest game I'VE ever finished, it would have to be Super Mario Land. I played it so much when I was a little kid that I got every secret, every point and time saving technique down to an art.

Super Mario 64. 100%.

Well, it's not me, but it's still damn awesome and I figured other people would want to see it. NOTE: it's about 1 hour and 40 minutes (and tool assisted, but that doesn't take away from the awesome. If you want to see non tool-assisted, head this way: http://speeddemosarchive.com/demo.pl?Mario64_SS_100p_20940 . There is also info for the 120-star run, a 70-star run, and a 16-star run here: http://speeddemosarchive.com/Mario64.html ).

For myself, probably Sonic 3 and Knuckles. I'm not sure the time it took, but I have played it so often over the years I blast through it (though I take my time on Hydrocity because the music is just TOO DAMN AWESOME) in ...I don't even know, it's been a while. I guess I should play it again.

Definitely Super Metroid. My best time is 0:41, but I'm a bit rusty now.

[...]I buy 11 Tonics, 41 Mid Tonics, 21 Revives, 11 Shelters and 11 Heals in Porre Market[...]

Indeed, this is a speed run I lol'd

Mmm, maybe the original Lemmings for me ? I could resolve all the levels in a row many years ago...

[SynthesizedStampede]

Super Mario Bros. 3 Speed Run in about 10 minutes. I watched a YouTube video of a SMB3 Speed Run, said "Hey, I can do that", did everything the speed runner did, but sucked much more at it than he did lol.

[I-n-j-i-n]

Metal Gear Solid in 1:25 in hard difficulty.

Trying it again, it seems impossible to even finish without dying a lot.

starfox 64, 25:47

this is two seconds slower than the current record

[Brushfire]

I finished story mode of Soul Calibur 4 in about 5 mins. But I think that is how they designed that God-awful game.

[nrich]

Quickest run period? Probably story mode in Tekken 3 with Eddy Gordo, lalz

I've beaten Super Mario World in under 20 minutes, Mega Man X in an hour or so (100% without using Hadouken), and some other shtuff here and there... nothing much to brag about really

[Magewout]

Minesweeper on easy in less than one second

[Drack]

What path? Always boosting, I assume. Autofire for bosses?

[Linkjing Donuts]

metroid fusion 1:42, 100% at 2:02

super mario bros in about 6 minutes

[Burn7 Toast]

metroid fusion 1:42

God damn you... I only had 1:58 for metroid fusion.

[BardicKnowledge]

Definitely Super Metroid. My best time is 0:41, but I'm a bit rusty now.

I'm also low 40's to finish at my best -- damn, that game is awesome.

I'm around 1:15 minutes to finish Castlevania: SOTN -- anyone else here play it a lot?

I overclocked an apple IIg emulator once and beat oregon trail in about a minute thirty. It was pretty lulz.

excellent

you nerd

[Reaif]

Probably the fastest I have ever done a game that I care to remember is Super Metroid 100% in 1:21 I think.

The one I am most proud of though is probably Zelda LTTP 100% in about 3.5-4 hours. The route I use was devised entirely by myself and I have never watched a video of someone doing this game. In my run I don't get the bomb and arrow amounts upgraded because I am always so dang impatient.

[Dervish]

I beat Marble Madness in like 4 minutes or so ... not world record time or anything, but not bad nonetheless

[Shadow Wolf]

MegaMan X 100% (minus the hadouken) in 1:42.

Super Metroid not giving a crap about collecting items in about an hour.

i lolled as well

i used to pound ssb on the 64 pretty easily, but i wasn't that fast. same with starfox 64.

been a while since i speedran anything, but my buddy and i about a month ago beat halo 3 in a few hours.

Just beating that damn game is a worthy accomplishment.

I used to be able to do MMX2 100% in ~45 minutes. That was a few years ago though, I'd need a hefty amount of practice to get back to that.

Addicting bastard, it is. I don't think I've attempted to beat it in a single playthrough but I've gotten close to 100% completion a couple years back. I could never find the last few map spaces, it was driving me nuts

How many percent it was, already ? 201.6 %, something like that, if I remember well...
