I put myself at the foot of the world of speedrun. It is a really fascinating section in which the community manages to get the best of itself, using unimaginable methods to cut seconds off the timer.
We have seen everything, but today is really impressive. A user named Hitshee has managed to complete the Dragon Quest III by NES, in less than seven minutes, using the cartridges Dr. Mario, Final Fantasy Y Kirby. A really revolutionary method and that you can see below.
The method to follow is to switch between the different games, basically, but we are going to describe it. The first thing to do is overcome the first minute and 40 seconds of the role-playing game with art of Akira Toriyama.
Once done, it can be saved for the first time and changed with Dr. Mario immediately. Once you reach the menu of the plumber doctor, you are introduced to Kirby, to return to Dr. Mario. At this point, you need to enter the two-player mode and select virus level 20 for the first player and zero for the second. Once this is done, it is necessary to press 15 times to the right on the speed option of player two.
Touch back to Dragon Quest III If all went well, the save slot will now have a Gadabout-class character with 20 MP and a wizard with paralysis. At this stage, visual errors are obvious. After advancing a little more, you have to save again.
It’s time to Final Fantasy. Swap with the Square Enix RPG and return to the other franchise of the Japanese company. For some kind of reason that we can’t understand, now the stats of your characters will be maxed out.
Finally, after advancing to Ladutorm Castle in Tantegel, you have to save. Restart, copy the save from space 1 to 3 and start in the latter. The final scene of Dragon Quest III will jump and you will have completed the speedrun.
This week we have learned about a couple of spectacular speedruns. The first related to Super Mario Bros., with a new world record, while users of Breath of the Wild they have invented a new way to squeeze the title.
