I remember seeing this on Ginx all the time. I sat there monged out as though I'd been drugged staring at it or something. I love it. Seriously. If my brain was a video it'd look something like this. Kudos for the hard work man
This is really great. There needs to be more retro game animations like this. I'm just starting to learn how to animate, but i've put together a couple of retro video game animations on my channel.
@iEMPBomb if you're referring to Capcom's Mega man, you'll find him running next to Samus in the tunnel near the start. So far i've had about 30 comments regarding me "missing" him out - It's hilarious.
@FFXIWarriorqueen1 That's an interesting observation - when it came to using a creative license with this animation, I chose to give mario speed with invinsibility for the sake of interesting choreography and because he's a popular mascot & wouldn't stand a chance in reality. (Though in Mariokart the star does give speed). Samus obtains an upgrade called Speed Booster in the original Super Metroid - which i've demonstrated loyally in the final leg of the race.
Due to popular demand i'm supplying a free download of the full length track we wrote for the video. It's titled Population Jump. Thanks to everyone who requested it, feel free to leave feedback. The link is in the comments section on our channel (url's aren't allowed here).
Ok at first i was getting upset cuz Samus wasn't super running but totally made my day when it was a photo finish....am so lame. lol! Great, Great vid!!!
this video was exactly how i though it would be! Sonic running faster than everybody. then a the end he becomes super sonic and goes way ahead of everybody except for samus using her super speed skill. at the beggining i was like "sonic would win, but theres samus with super speed, but they might put super sonic so.. what would happen! both are fast" lol very nice video!!
This video.... THIS FUCKING VIDEO It used to be on Ginx, every episode towards the end of it's TV life, when it came on, I'd literally stare at the TV monged out as though I'd been drugged or was ready to pass out or some shit. Even now, I'm not far from how I was. This video. It's the embodiment of my mind. And I love it. Kudos for the hard work!
@Eyspire yeah, i was hoping that samus speed boost kicked in... was worried it wasn't after she got trapped by the closed port. while i was expecting mario to get a feather-cape, the star works just as well. good stuff, enjoyed the watch.
@shattercross Yet 90% plus of the video was focused on Sonic despite it being a race of multiple characters. While other characters were equal opportunity for successes and failures in the race and the camera gave them equal focus, the camera was almost always focused on Sonic, he avoided pretty much everything except for the one thing that knocked him off screen for a short while (and then he came back out of nowhere as Super Sonic
What I never understand is how someone can catch up to someone else and not be able to over take. I mean they had enough speed to catch up wouldn't that mean they were faster?
UPDATE* April 2011 - The next installment of the running race series is finished and will be uploaded within the next few days. To everyone who filed requests as to who they wanted to see in the sequel - I hope i've fulfilled your wishes. This one's substantially more complex - Stay tuned!
I was wondering why Samus didn't do the speed booster the whole vid, but she came back at the end. Samus really was one of the fastest of the classic games.
Samus is just like "who needs blast processing?"
I remember watching this when I was 10.
Of course Marty & Doc win, Time Machine. Hello?
Hugh MacEachern even though there not video game character s
+jblue88 hood gamer Donald Duck is the Luigi of Cartoons not a videogame
That was cheating only op relecs are aloud
this is full of classic games xD
i love how the race ended lol.
good job!
This is AWESOME!

This was great!
PERFECT!!!!
What an ending. I never would have guessed that lol Well done!! All the pixels matched and the action was well thought out
AHHH MARTY MCFLY!! I SAW HIM!! *fangirling a lot right now*
I love how you occasionally see Marty at the start, but the attention is always on Sonic or the other videogame characters, That was very clever!
yoshiunity I
LOL!!
I loved the ending!
I am such a huge fan of that movie series!
I really wasn't expecting to see Sparkster and Cool Spot in this
If this is truly part of a series I'm dying to see more! Bravo!
Amazing!
my childhood right here! used to spend lots of time with my sega console and almost finished all of em+robocop
I was convinced that sonic would win, running being his main activity and all, but I never expected Marty and Doc to get even close! Awesome!

Epic stuff!
AMAZING!!!!
The music is awesome... It is a great video because of it
Aw thanks! I wrote the track 10 years ago, so its pretty dated now!
Brings back good memories good job! Looks awesome
This was awesome, I was not expecting the DeLorean to randomly come out at the end, that was awesome...
Very cool. The best 16-bit flashback I've had in a while.
Genius!
Ok at first i was getting upset cuz Samus wasn't super running but totally made my day when it was a photo finish....am so lame. lol! Great, Great vid!!!
Very nicely done, great music and great animation.
The ending was really unexpected, despite the video showing Marty 2 times. Hahaha, epic stuff!
.... Ugh..... my childhood. This video is it.
this was really great. the ending was really good too!
this is amazing!!!! music went well with it
good stuff :)
i want to make animations like these
Cant Speak. Tears in Eyes. So many happy memories
this video was exactly how i though it would be!

lol very nice video!!
@Soocken Yeah I spent ages playing that spot when I was a kid. His name is Cool Spot
Awesome
This video....
THIS FUCKING VIDEO

I saw this video 3 times in a row. I Fing love it!!
Well I have nothing to complain about! I think it was pretty awesome
@Yoros009 Or Rocket Knight Adventures, for the Mega Drive. Actually, I think that's it, now looking at the sprites again.
Oh man, @halfofme took the words right out of my mouth. Well said!
@araprada if you mean the robot at 0:35, it's from a genesis/ megadrive game called B.O.B
Super nice video , and music .
Congratulations .
That actually makes a lot of sense. Just wait for the race to end, drive casually to the finish line, and go back in time!
HAHAHA grt vid..brought back memories of the nintendo ol' dayz :) 90s rocked hard!
most amazing video. i've ever seen. of all time.
@konohahurricane07 Yes they are, it's from a Japanese only video game for the SNES called Super Back to the Future 2.
I must know how to get hold of that backing music. It blew my mind.
LOL @ the ending. I was thinking it'd be Hyper Knuckles, but that was pretty good.
This is wicked!! Nice work man!
Awesome video and great work. I would like to see more.
Great stuff, well done!
I really did not expect that. Way to go
AWESOME! :D
Amazing job! Was directed here from Joystiq.
LOL I love how every time Marty appears it plays the jingle.
thank you for sharing. feel the nostalgy...
Wow it must be a hard job to do . I am quite impressed by his job
I lol'd at that last bit. I figured something had to happen with McFly, it just wouldn't be right without.
Lol I played all those games!!! nice nostalgic video!!!
Eeeeee that was super dirty X3 I did not see that coming.
Omg, that showed me many games i played! Dear old times
Yeah. Good ol' time
@True2TheBlueYoViGang Her name is Blaze Fielding, from Streets of Rage series.
haha that was awesome! Thanks, Ray!
knew at the end they would both loose xD
excelent video though!
im just glad this wasn't another lame fan made video, keep up the good work
Thanks RWJ! Martin Mcfly FTW!! I need to get that game xD
@Eyspire
yeah, i was hoping that samus speed boost kicked in... was worried it wasn't after she got trapped by the closed port. while i was expecting mario to get a feather-cape, the star works just as well.
good stuff, enjoyed the watch.
Great work mate!!
AWESOME :D
Hahaha! That was great!!!
is that music also composed by the creator? is really want this track!!!!
where can i buy it?
Searching for this song to this day 😞
Im sorry! I wrote it almost a decade ago. You can rip it directly from the TH-cam vid though. Just google TH-cam to mp3 and paste the link!
The vid is great!
But the music... just awesome!
Marty knew he was going to win. He still has the almanac. =D
@RDMMX11 You are wrong on the part where you can't see someone/something that is running at speed of sound.
@MrAaronforpresident ya that one tho was only released in japan for the famicon system
Really awesome. I love the end :)
Great song to go along with the video!
@shattercross Yet 90% plus of the video was focused on Sonic despite it being a race of multiple characters.

@mlmf64 yeah only in japan from super back to the future 2 is where he got those sprites.
@JaquezSec Tails is in the air, behind the buildings at 0:42.
@atrayu7
Blaze, Streets of Rage.
(The stage they are in is also graphics from Streets of Rage at that point.)
I really like the song in this video!
So good! brings back the memories :D
What is game about tutrle on 1:02?
I can't believe how many of these I recognize, and I don't consider myself a person who knows about video games.
I'm actually surprised I've played all of the games shown in the video.
Proud to be a gamer ;D
What I never understand is how someone can catch up to someone else and not be able to over take. I mean they had enough speed to catch up wouldn't that mean they were faster?

I was wondering why Samus didn't do the speed booster the whole vid, but she came back at the end. Samus really was one of the fastest of the classic games.
Starting at 1:12 I was quite literary chanting "Speed Booster! Speed Booster!" and I must say, was quite happy... until the photo finish.
Ouch. The Nostalgia hurts pretty bad. Where did the time go?!?!?
@rafaelmelone
Hes actually callede Super Sonic, and it does happen ingame when he collects all the chaos emeralds, its not a ripoff from Dragonall Z.
love the music too, btw
What kind of person doesn't like this video ? This is a super race !
Sei uno che merita l'Oscar.
