Part 3 of a full playthrough of Capcom's Megaman Zero for the GBA. Game completed on Ultimate mode with no deaths and no save states. Megaman Zero is next in the long line of Mega Man franchises from Capcom, this one takes place following Megaman X and stars Zero, who has inexplicably recieved a total makeover. In the interest of full disclosure, I should mention that the "Ultimate" mode in this game is a bit of a misnomer, the one who is ultimate here is Zero, not the enemies. This mode starts Zero off fully powered up, with all of the permanent cyber elves active and all of his weapons powered up to the maximum level. This is effectively akin to playing on God Mode, apart from falling into pits there's really no way you can die. I chose to do this on this mode for two reasons. First of all, it's much faster, this game would otherwise require a fair bit of grinding which would not be very fun to watch. Secondly, I can play much more aggressively in this mode, which I think is more interesting. I'm still trying to play well and keep my rank up, though you can't hold an S rank the whole time without farming baddies on some of the stages, which I don't do in the interests of time. It's also kind of interesting to see just how vast the difference in difficulty between no cyber elves (which is required to unlock this mode) and full cyber elves is. "So, you'll only be happy if X does not exist? I'll take care of that. Just tell me where he is." Megaman Zero copyright 2002 Capcom.

Part 3 of a full playthrough of Atlus' Snowboard Kids for the N64. All races won (eventually) with no save states. Snowboard Kids is a semi-obscure racing game for the N64. It's similar to Mario Kart in a lot of ways, there's plenty of zany weapons and items to contend with, and the game uses at least as much catch-up logic as the recent Mario Karts. Still, this game has a bit of a cult following, it's often recommended by N64 enthusiasts. Making this movie immediately struck me as a bad idea, as this game is fairly heavily dependant on luck, and thus winning all the races might take an obscene amount of tries, even using the Star Board (I didn't opt to use the most powerful character, maybe I should have). I contemplated simply doing each course once, regardless of whether I win or lose, but it turned out to be unnecessary as I got this run in only one attempt. I assume the planets must have aligned, because despite a million close calls, I somehow almost always manage to come out on top. Unfortunately, my luck doesn't hold up forever, and when it gives out, it does so rather spectacularly. But that's just the way this game goes. Snowboard Kids copyright 1997 Atlus.

A full playthrough of Nintendo's Yoshi's Cookie for the SNES. Game completed on hard mode with no save states. Yoshi's Cookie is a puzzle game made by Nintendo. It's not one of their headliners like Panel De Pon or Dr Mario, but it's still a pretty fun game. Additionally, the multiplayer mode is probably the most intense of ANY puzzle game ever made, which is why I picked it. Make no mistake, this is war, and it's never over until the very end. The name of the game here is to rotate the cookies Rubik's Cube style to create a whole row of the same type. For every match, you gain some Yoshi Cookies, and making a whole row of them allows you to invoke a special effect as shown under your name. It might not be obvious, but the task I set for myself (to beat the entire game without changing characters or losing, without using Bowser) is ridiculously difficult, because this game has some pretty substantial matchup dynamics and Bowser is clearly overpowered. I chose Yoshi because he's pretty well the only other character who has a chance of beating Bowser, even though he's not the best against the others. It may look like I'm really good at this game in this video, but it's really more like after 15+ attempts I just got really lucky. Still, I think it should be fairly interesting to watch, a lot of the matches come right down to the wire. Yoshi's Cookie copyright 1993 Nintendo and Bullet Proof Software.

Part 3c of a playthrough of Takara's Choro Q2 for the PSX. Part 3 covers the Super Tournament and the Retro courses. Once again, I manage to blow through the Super Tournament in record time, it takes less than 20 minutes to win it. The Retro Tracks start off well, but the difficulty quickly ramps up. "Embarrassing" is really the only word for that mountain course, but having come this far there's no way I'm turning back now. I don't quite manage this all in under one hour, so as a reward for sticking it out through the whole thing, I decide to load up my original save file and show you what kind of monster you can be if you grind for another 10-15 hours and buy those extremely expensive parts in the Devil Shop. I can barely remember how to control this thing, but it really doesn't matter. Anyway, thus ends Choro Q2. I hope you enjoyed it. Choro Q copyright 1997 Takara.

Part 2b of a playthrough of Takara's Choro Q2 for the PSX. Part 2 covers the Tournament and an attempt at the Retro Courses. We now begin the meat and potatos of the game, the Tournament mode. Despite the fact that I don't grind up for all the best parts right at the beginning, I still manage to crush the tournament. I take first by a comfortable margin on the first pass, something I've never done before. In fact, the Tournament and the Cyber Track fall so easily that I'm left with some extra time here, so I decide to see if the Retro Courses are open yet. It turns out that they are, but attempting them at this point in the game is not wise - the computer cars are so much faster than I am that winning with my current parts is basically impossible, despite my best efforts. Don't worry, though, I'll be back after the Super Tournament for my revenge. Choro Q copyright 1997 Takara.

Part 1b of a playthrough of Takara's Choro Q2 for the PSX. Part 1 covers the beginning of the game to the Tournament. It's no secret that Choro Q is one of my favourite franchises, this game in particular I've cited as one of the best Playstation games on a number of occasions. Choro Q is basically a combination of Gran Turismo and Micro Machines, or to put that another way, it's a sim-style racer with car customization where you race toy cars. In this iteration of the series, Q-Town is introduced, which is a hub area where you can find shops and other things. I won't be spending too much time there in this video, but it's kind of a neat addition nonetheless. Since this is a sim-style racer and there's money involved, it will be necessary for me to repeat some tracks to build cash. I'm trying to keep this to a minimum, though. Anyway, this is my first time playing this game in about a year, so this won't be absolutely perfect (you can tell that I can't even remember what buttons control the menus at first, Square is Cancel?), but I still get through the tracks in reasonably good time.

Part 2 of a playthrough of Capcom's The Magical Quest Starring Mickey Mouse for the SNES. Game completed on Hard Mode with no continue. Part 2 covers 3-3 to the end of the game. The Magical Quest is another platforming game from the Capcom Disney series. This time it stars Disney Superstar Mickey Mouse, but other than that it's not too different from the others. In this game, Mickey has the ability to change into different outfits, which are necessary to overcome certain obstacles or fight certain enemies. This is not a terribly difficult game, though playing it on Hard Mode makes it a fair bit tougher (you start with one less heart and there are more enemies). Getting the magic powerup on 3-3 is absolutely vital, beyond that point the rest of the game really isn't too hard. This is a somewhat unbalanced game in that the hardest part is clearly the first two worlds where you have very little health. The Emperor's powerful magic has never been defeated. Do not attempt to rescue your dog. Save yourself. The Magical Quest Starring Mickey Mouse copyright 1992 Capcom and Disney.

Part 3 of a playthrough of Namco's Pac Man 2: The New Adventures for the SNES. Part 3 covers the return to the city to the end of the game. Pac-Man 2 is a very unique game, and it's certainly not something you'd expect from the Pac-Man franchise. It's effectively a point-and-click adventure, of sorts, where you help Pac-Man complete various tasks. Yes, help, that's something else unique about this game, you don't actually control Pac-Man, you just kind of help him along with your slingshot. One thing that's amazing about this game is just how many things there are to do. Depending on Pac-Man's mood when you reach a certain obstacle, he may do something totally different and thus you may see a completely different scene. As the final tally at the end of the game indicates, I only saw about half the game. Every time you play, you find a couple new things, so it has good replay value. I did this video in one attempt, and it's been years since I played this game, so I can't remember how to solve every puzzle off the top of my head. This way, you can try to figure out the puzzles with me, then shout at your computer monitor after I make the same mistake for a third time. Actually, I try not to kill Pac-Man too much, but there are a couple rough spots. Pac-Man! I'm tired of your meddling! You'll get munched this time!

Part 2 of a playthrough of Nintendo's Mario Kart 64 for the N64. All four cups in 150cc won consecutively with no restarts or save states. When it comes to racing games, few are as chaotic as Mario Kart, so this seemed like a logical choice for a video. I decided to go with the N64 version due to its age and the fact that I've become extremely rusty at the SNES game. The first thing that becomes apparent is just how much the Mario Kart series has changed since then. First of all, the controls are very different, it took me a long time to get my Powersliding down again, but the far greater difference is in the way weapons operate. The weapon roulette is far less balanced towards your current position, you'll notice I can get Lightning Bolts in 3rd and Super Mushrooms in 2nd. The other big difference is that the computer doesn't use all of the weapons, I never have a single Red Shell or Blue Shell fired my way. They make up for this by being way faster than you are, but as long as you smack them back down every time they catch up, maintaining the lead actually isn't too hard. Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy this video. In order to beat all 4 cups consecutively, I had to practice a lot, so there's maybe not quite as much mayhem as there might have been, but there are still a lot of people getting blown up. I'm-a Wario! I'm-a gonno ween! Mario Kart 64 copyright 1996 Nintendo.

A playthrough of Episode 1 from Epic's Jazz Jackrabbit for DOS / Windows on hard mode. Jazz Jackrabbit is a platformer for the PC starring a rabbit with a big gun. It plays kind of like a combination of Sonic and Mega Man. It was pretty well known for its polished gameplay, awesome soundtrack, and the tie-in with the Gravis Gamepad. One thing that's probably immediately apparent is that this game is running at a sane rate of speed - that's because I've turned the turbo mode off. With it enabled, the game is ridiculously hard to control on new computers. This is much closer to the speed the game would have run at in 1994. This only covers the first episode of the game, which is the one that was available as shareware and most people are familiar with. There's actually a bunch of others, in the event that you want to see them you can leave a comment and I might eventually consider recording them. This video has some minor audio desync problems and there's a little bit of lag in parts of the game. Capturing videos of DOS games isn't easy. Jazz Jackrabbit copyright 1994 Epic Megagames.

Part 4c of a playthrough of Konami's Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon for the N64. Saves used about once every hour. Part 4 covers getting the cucumbers to the end of the game. This section is mostly just cleanup (I missed quite a few fortune dolls) and the final dungeon. Because I had extra time, I tacked the "Consecutive Fighting: Large Boss Mode" on to the end, which quickly proved to be a bad idea. Still, I'm pretty impressed that I beat the whole game in four hours. Well, this brings my Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon playthrough to a close. I hope you enjoyed watching it, if anyone actually watched it all from the beginning. "I don't know, but I think I'm... becoming a Die Hard Fan of Dancin' and Lily".

Part 3c of a playthrough of Konami's Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon for the N64. Saves used about once every hour. Part 3 covers Kyushu's Disappearance to Sasuke's Super Jump. You should now be able to see why I went so fast in the previous section - at the very beginning of this section is Goemon's Training, which is easily my least favourite part of the game and the part I fail most often. If I had left Festival Temple for this segment, I'd have to redo it if I messed up. I wasn't planning to get the Super Jump in this segment (I was going to stop after Gourmet Submarine) but I had some extra time. Thankfully I didn't fail it. This segment of the game has the potential to take really long because it's filled with dialogue triggers. Thankfully, I played this a couple times beforehand to find them all.

Part 2c of a playthrough of Konami's Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon for the N64. Saves used about once every hour. Part 2 covers Folkypoke Village to the end of Festival Temple Castle. This segment has got to be pushing the limit on how fast you can possibly go, I wanted this video to end at this specific point in the game (you'll see why in the next video), so I really had to motor. I forgot the location of a couple Silver Fortune Dolls in Festival Temple Castle, but you have to come back here anyway. Everything else is very solid, though, particularly the boss fights.

This segment has got to be pushing the limit on how fast you can possibly go, I wanted this video to end at this specific point in the game (you'll see why in the next video), so I really had to motor. I forgot the location of a couple Silver Fortune Dolls in Festival Temple Castle, but you have to come back here anyway. Everything else is very solid, though, particularly the boss fights.

Part 1c of a playthrough of Konami's Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon for the N64. Saves used about once every hour. Part 1 covers the beginning of the game to Folkypoke Village. IMO, Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon is by far the best N64 game - It's a brilliant fusion of platforming and adventure, seemlessly adapted to 3D. As such, I really wanted to do a video for it, even though it's much longer than anything else I've done. To that end, I'm playing a lot faster than I usually do. This whole run is basically going to be a beeline from objective to objective. This segment is pretty good. The stupid Silver Doll outside Oedo Castle gives me some trouble and the battle against Kashiwagi is sad, but otherwise it's pretty smooth and I get to show off a fair bit. "I don't care if we're talking Peach Mountain, Chestnut Mountain, or even a Pear Mountain, they'd better get ready because I'm gonna kick their butts!"

A playthrough of the Arcade Mode of Capcom's Pocket Fighter for the PSX. Game completed as Felicia without losing a round. Pocket Fighter is a simplistic fighting from various Capcom fighters. I picked this video because I wanted something easy and short to test out Veoh, and it's Valentine's Day and Felicia's storyline involves her wanting to star in a romantic movie. It seemed kind of appropriate. This is a good run. Pocket Fighter isn't a hard game, but it's somewhat difficult to beat it without losing a single round. My new capture card powers definitely help here, I can play much better with the aid of a real controller. I actually got this video in only one attempt, which is surprising because Felicia isn't my best character. She is my favourite, though, she's adorable. You're so cruel, Ken! Meeow! I'd totally see that movie. Pocket Fighter copyright 1998 Capcom.
