Arthur's fiancée is once again kidnapped by demons soon before their marriage. Once more Sir Arthur must brave the forces of the underworld in his skivvies. Watch as Ferret Warlord runs through this infamously hard game in record time!

Normally, to fight the final boss of the game, you must play through the game twice. To make the movie less repetitive, Ferret Warlord uses a code to start at the final bosses of the first playthrough. Furthermore, the player must have a special weapon in order to fight the final boss, and this weapon can only be found when the player has fully upgraded armor. Ferret Warlord obtains this weapon at the end of the first autoscrolling level.

  • Seeing the bold colors and graphics brought me back to a time when the SNES was new. Great memories and a great TAS run. Thanks!

    One of my greatest SNES feats was to complete this game (no Sardius) without miss any life, in the console itself! You have just to memorize all screens and enemies in the game and master the jump. I used the double arrow weapon the entire game.

    One of my favorite childhood game, I can't remember how many times I palyed it. The TAS made me wonder if I'm still worthy so I'm going to play it right now.

    Fun fact: The Developers actually thought this would be an average player, so they made sure noone would get bored. 👏

    The showing off in the raft section made me lmao remembering how mad I got memorizing that section for the first time. Great stuff

    the TAS makes it so easy to see and as a child I had to be very calculating in everything. He gave me right in childhood :'D

    Astaroth: Arthur has quite a long way to go. He'll never reach this castle! Arthur: Nah I'm already here. Astaroth: THA FUCK!?

    "Arthur come save me! " "I cant I need the goddess bracelet!" "The Demons arent home." Arthur:
  • Wow, that was next-level! The dude was mocking the game as the game used to mock me. Also good to know that I am not the only one who found hard to beat. Never made it beyond the ice world. I played it on a Gameboy Advance, though, and had the additional problem that the battery was running out.

    I have never gone past level 2 (will correct that soon), yet i saw a bit of level 3 here and is strikingly similar to a SMW hack i made, i probably watched a bit of this when it was published (2009) and somehow 10 years later those level design decisions were still lingering in the back of my mind.
  • This is the most confident gameplay I´ve ever seen. It made me want d to play the game exactly this style, so i booted it up, excited to at least make it to the water-level unhurt. I failed after 15 seconds.
