[TAS] NES Bionic Commando by nEilfox, Alyosha & Challenger in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/...
TAS originally published on 2018-01-21
Bionic Commando (1988) is a platform game with a hero who can't jump, but can quickly latch onto objects with his bionic arm. The name of the original (Japanese) version of the game literally translates to The Resurrection of Hitler: Top Secret. Nintendo censored the Nazi references for the North American version.
This is an improvement of 56.28 seconds over the previous movie ( tasvideos.org/... ), mainly thanks to a new trick in Area 12 where if damage is taken from an enemy at the same frame one would normally take damage from a barrier, one'd pass through the barrier, assuming the player's position is correct.
For more swinging goodness, check out these runs of the Game Boy ( tasvideos.org/... ) and arcade ( tasvideos.org/... ) versions. There is also an "all items" run ( tasvideos.org/... ) which completes the optional stages as well.

Considering this is the TAS, It's quite remarkable what PJ is pulling off doing this live. Damn good game!

[@Contevent]

The efforts one has to make to obtain a three way...

[@sarcasticguy4311]

"The base will explod in 60 seconds."
Whew, that's a relief. At least it isn't going to explode.

I've always wondered if, in level 3, there was a way to get from the one tree to another without having to run in the mud. Now I know that it is not possible

[@NeuralNetProcessor]

"I have given a special machine gun to a man named Destroyer-3. You should use that gun." Yeah, no thanks, there, Mr Joe.

[@D-Fens_1632]

I remember being annoyed as a kid that virtually everyone you talk to in this game is full of shit.

5:37 "We've obtained 3-way"

Dodge 11:16 to 11:20 and 11:43 to 11:47 for epileptics

[@NeuralNetProcessor]

Lol the "Pi pi pi" robot sucks

[@domovoi2861]

Before Just Cause was cool

[@SunnyTacos]

So it's like Ikari Warrior plus Contra with more platforming the original is cool but the remake was clunky as all hell.

[@CopiousDoinksLLC]

I thought the remake had potential to be really awesome if they allowed you to move using WASD and target the grappling hook / gun with your mouse. It would have allowed for a lot more freedom to nail those tight angle while grappling and would have required skill, too. I thought they missed a great opportunity with that one.

[@Dekaide44]

This game was pretty .. .adult lol
