[TAS] NES Cheetahmen II "all levels" by illayaya in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/4109M
TAS originally published on 2020-02-10
Cheetahmen II is the unfinished sequel to game #52 of Action 52 ( tasvideos.org/1584M ). The game contains 6 of the 10 levels originally proposed, in which the player takes control of Apollo, Hercules, and Aries, switching off every two levels.
This run is done with a patched ROM that allows all 6 levels to be played without invoking rare glitches. Here ( tasvideos.org/2487M )'s the run of the original ROM that uses the mapper register glitch to start from level 5.
illayaya ( tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/i... ) saved 00:03.29 seconds over the previous run ( tasvideos.org/2450M ) by using a warp in the third level.

I can't believe the creators thought they would turn this into a franchise.

[@galloe8933]

Their platform was "Kids is dumb!" so as long at it's a video game the dirty little goblins will eat it up and force their parents to pay up the noise, and what happens after that? FRANCHISE! Also, breakfast cereal. The coke really did make it seem like a good idea.

[@MegamanXfan21xx]

If they put all their effort into one game instead of 51 other awful ones, it might have had a fighting chance. If Bubsy could make a comeback, the Cheetahmen might have as well.

[@jcmolero71]

Also a Sega edition

[@auroralaerov]

I can't believe, the soundtrack is good

[@rafterscott]

Somewhere out there was a kid who's literal first exposure to the NES was this game.

[@DrewPicklesTheDark]

Game was unreleased, so unlikely.

[@FrancoEchidna]

@@DrewPicklesTheDark unlikely, but not impossible.

[@MikeyTaylorGaming]

I can't believe how many "I can't believe" comments there are down here.

[@threemays]

Not the TAS we deserved, but the TAS we needed.

[@DigiEggz]

I think this is the first time I've seen any stage other than the first one. Kudos!

[@cubechan1938]

I can't believe nobody thought to remake this game into a good one, or even a decent fangame.

[@renakunisaki]

I love the moonwalking badguys.

[@Knuckles5140]

I noticed that too. They just vibing. Not even stressing it.

[@nocturnalnights27]

The nerd would be proud

[@ParrotParrot]

I can't believe.

[@vectorshingetsu5560]

I think I’d be able to enjoy the music more if it didn’t pause every time there was an attack :(

[@HoZKiNZ]

I can't believe people set their desired online name as a salted snack.

[@KingOfComedyXD]

"summoning salt"

[@HoZKiNZ]

@@KingOfComedyXD A salt/powder used as an aid to summoning

[@KingOfComedyXD]

@@HoZKiNZ very apt name for a speedrunner

[@dj-sx4710]

Lights!
Camera!
Action 52!!
no.

[@renakunisaki]

Make your selection, now.

[@gigahertz5831]

I'm surprised someone was able to speedrun this without it imploding on itself

[@wfr2615]

I can’t believe people still TAS games like this.

[@e4t718]

@CyberPun that's Luigi with messed up colors bruh

[@LucaShoal]

If you're Pretzel, then where's Spondaj huh.

[@guardiane]

I can't believe I watched this entire video.

[@ddespair]

It’s everything you want from a sequel and less

[@chuckthequail137]

Judging by how some ground structures are colored, I'll say that the outside levels take place on a somewhere where it's main source of light is below everything.

[@steveairport]

I’ll grant that a game is usually over when you reach the end, but...

[@SpaceOink]

Wasn't it this the game that was actually never finished, and only ended up on the internet?

[@ultralowspekken]

That's the first cheetahmen, this is cheetahmen 2

[@moomooold]

@@ultralowspekken actually he’s right. Cheetahmen 1 was on Action 52 and Cheetamen 2 was never released but somehow got leaked to the internet

[@ultralowspekken]

@@moomooold I might have made a little confusion.

[@bigsof7381]

​@@ultralowspekken1:11 It looks unreleased for me

[@ultralowspekken]

@@bigsof7381 the entire action 52 cartridge looks unreleased to be fair

MONKEY MUTANT BOSS!

[@Skaypegote]

I have so many questions

[@Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaron]

The creaters of syobon action (Cat Mario) used this theme and put it in their game in the 2000s.

[@rafachrzaszcz6997]

AVGN stucked with that monkey boss. I see, the next levels are recycled from Cheetahmen 1.

[@Reiderreiter]

I feel so bad for the computer chips that were mercilessly tortured trying to make this abomination run.

[@mountzod]

I can't believe it's not butter

[@PedroJaimeCostaPereira]

I can't believe it's not cat mario.
Btw, excellent video.

[@doubleas2380]

My God....

[@DrunkDoglol]

Based

[@seireiart]

The only good thing about this game is the music.

[@KyuJuEX099]

So there's no fix of the "invisible" Pirate sprite? I noticed the health bar and death animations are fixed.

[@MargulanTRZ]

Game Over -_-

[@GoobTradeMark]

I'm so sorry.

[@something1889]

F*uck yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@40ozpunker]

xD hahahah. So busted...ty TAZ

[@galloe8933]

It may seem like the game was a cheap mess of a cash grab and their game is a mess but it's not cheap at all! The stunning sprite work that went into the Cheata men AND the near-perfect industrial sync sound sensation is where all the money went.

[@msexiar2]

AAAAAASSSS

[@Jokerbuzzed]

one of the worst games of all time has one of the best themesongs ever created.

[@utube8194]

또 속냐!!

[@poiberry8956]

*I can belive*

[@Scrat-rs5ud]

Is it even possible to pass Level 4 in this game

[@HughMacEachern]

I can't believe it's not butter.

[@dankusie]

Final boss - Mario?

[@RandomFella745]

Cat Mario

[@kirareviews]

AVGN: 😡

[@Jackfromshack]

What the fuck was that

[@RobertoGoodra]

😂 Destroye easy 🏹 🌪 only in video game.
Lol.

[@SunnyTacos]

Well I can't believe an unfinished fiery turd like this game demands such outrageous prices on the internet, I get people like to collect stuff but geeez louise..this is really bad.

[@alexbeuerman7608]

This looks like a fake video game you'd see in a TV show written by someone who doesn't know a lot about video games

[@raymondreddington2278]

Cat Mario music reference

[@davidthecommenter]

buddy, this came out before cat mario

[@Evan-ru6ro]

HOW DID I FIND THIS VIDEO SO FAST HOLY COW! if anyone sees this comment in 2030 tekashi 69 will be dead by then

[@gustavomodoasalto5030]

I can't believe.
