[TAS] NES Mega Man "game end glitch" by pirohiko & finalfighter in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/2601M
TAS originally published on 2014-05-21
Mega Man is the first game in the famous series that now comprises games ( tasvideos.org/3151M ) on ( tasvideos.org/1496M ) many ( tasvideos.org/1844M ) different ( tasvideos.org/4337M ) systems ( tasvideos.org/1812M ) as well as several television shows and comic books.
While the other run ( tasvideos.org/1686M ) of this game uses lots of tricks to reach the ending impressively quickly, pirohiko ( tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/p... ) and FinalFighter ( tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/F... ) decided it just wasn't fast enough. In this run, they manipulate an object to appear which allows them to execute arbitrary code and warp to the credits, all using only controller input. For an advanced explanation of how it works, check out the submission text ( tasvideos.org/4308S ).
Watch this run on a real console ( • MultiReplay v0.1f Demo ) (played back on the US version).

Dang, WIly's army is a bit smaller than I remember

[@malcovich_games]

In the previous, obsoleted timeline… Megaman defeated Wily, but destroyed reality in the process, leaving us wondering if it was all worth it… now he just ambushes Wily in the snow, defeating his four evil robots (Wily was probably inside one of them) before Wily could even get started.

Not surprised that the game end glitch exists with the events that unfolded within the previous TAS.
However, I am surprised that it took this long.
Great work!

[@pendragon5573]

@Luigikart12 Oh, ok. Good to know!
Still impressive nonetheless!

[@alecrutz6979]

imagine finding this by accident in a casual playthrough

[@teckworks]

The rule of thumb stays true...when a TAS vid's thumbnail is a picture of the credits...
...you're in for some fuck.

[@FirstNameLastName-rc8ng]

You still comment on youtube?

[@m_m_m_tin]

Is it possible that Wily was on one of the defeated enemies?

[@palidopali]

I like to think that he just hacked Wily's servers with 35 years advantage technology

[@Allafif]

Eight 'robot masters' you say? Running battles all over the world? Oh Rock, you're such a kidder. Anyway, thanks for checking on those rogue delivery drones. Cold one out there huh?

Megaman is not easy to play but looks so satisfying when someone destroys this game in seconds.

AN OLD FAVORITE

[@Fay-tas0-g1rl]

良い話だったなぁ…

[@YondanDrill]

When I went to take a glass of water, game as already finished.

[@Luis-tu4ux]

Bien aún me causa gracia que el juego puede terminarse tan rápido de esta manera xd

[@tomypower4898]

Yes surprised

[@keylabolano5672]

0:30 Pensé que mi cerebro se había desconectado otra vez. Últimamente he estado así

[@Surya-bd5tt]

how does this work? Is it because of the amount of entities on the screen?

[@Zekium]

Seems more complex than that : Try to understand the author's note from tasvideo website (link in description).

[@Dwedit]

Slowdown from too many objects causes it to be in the wrong program bank when returning from a function, so it's jumping to unintended code.

[@willistuttle966]

The comments from the uploader/judge for the run basically created the game ending glitch category from the looks of it

[@akalyx]

well...good game, guys!

[@mono-tg5fh]

平和でした🤭

[@nojibjelly]
