>I highly recommend watching the Metroid Prime videos, as well as the SSBM videos (especially the evil 3.60 second completion of Link's Break the Targets! stage! O_O). The Link to the Past Video is a video by Michael Darmiani, aka TheSilentAssassin, but he already has his time down to about 1:40. <

>Here you can find Michael's 5 hour, 41 minute, 53 second completion of Ocarina of Time, although he has his time below 5:30, currently.<

>Enjoy! <

These videos are actually real, verified by Twin Galaxies. They do framerate checks, comparing the gameplay frame by frame to see if anything doesn't match, and they check any suspicious things they see on the tape. They also make sure cheat devices are not in use. These ARE valid, amazingly. "As long as there are dreamers who have the courage to follow their dreams, there will be heroes.

I seem to recall everyone saying that in regards to that bullshite Mario Bros. 3 video... <

The only cheat device used in that was a turbo controller to make Mario always be at maximum speed: the moves pulled off in that video are real. Even with using save states, and turbo features, it takes a hell of a lot of skill and practice to pull those moves off (I've successfully recreated his runs on stages 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3). Those WERE verified to be done with cheat devices by Twin Galaxies: it was pretty obvious to the naked eye, too, that a turbo controller was in use. <

>These videos though, have all been verified, frame-tested, and some of them were seen in person by a Twin Galaxies referee. <

>Tanis, they're legit. Now go watch them. :P "As long as there are dreamers who have the courage to follow their dreams, there will be heroes. And as long as there are people who pursue the unkown, there will be new stories to be told...and new adventures to be had." ~ Skies of Arcadia Legends <

The SMB3 one was played using an Emulator, and various parts of it were patched together using video editing afterward. HOWEVER. Nobody claimed that it had been checked OR varified, Tanis, so don't give me that.<

>If these have been verified by Twin Galixies, then you can rest assured that they are legitamite. TG is basically the foremost authority when it comes to video gaming records. <i>There are many rules of<
