Donkey Kong Country TAS by Tompa (16:22.63)

***READ BEFORE WATCHING***

Note: I replaced the video file with one in which the audio is in synch. Thanks for fixing that, Toothache.

This tool-assisted speedrun, by Tomas Abrahamsson (Tompa), aims to beat Donkey Kong Country in as little a time as possible. It does this by exploiting many tricks and glitches, most notably, a new warp glitch that shaves 7 minutes off of the previous run. Read the author's submission ( http://tasvideos.org/2876S.html ) to learn more.

This is a tool-assisted speedrun, played on an emulator with slowdown, frame-by-frame shooting, savestates and rerecords. It is NOT meant to show skill, but rather push the game to its limits, as it is PURELY a form of entertainment.

The publication of this run can be found here: will put a link here when it's published
