[TAS] NARC Arcade in

Tool-assisted speedrun (TAS) of NARC Arcade in 9:58 (2,047,550)

Goal: Finish the game as quickly as possible.

Time starts when you land on the ground on the first stage (0:32) and ends when you open the final door in the jackpot room. (10:30)

Notes:
-This game runs at 55 fps, that's why scrolling isn't smooth at 60 fps.

-I lost exactly 271 frames (4.92 seconds at 55 fps) while collecting the 24k gold in the jackpot room. I did it to have a decent score at the end.

-At first glance, it looks weird that the character can walk without being hit by all enemy fire. But believe me, I died very often. What to look for is the shadow of the bullets. You only die if a bullet's shadow collides with your shadow.

-I lost a life with the boss at the end. It was a bit faster that way.
-I lost a bit of energy here and there. I should have worked more on those parts. It is possible to finish the game without losing energy. (Except maybe with the last boss)

-I might do another TAS of this game, but my goal will be to get a high score. But it will take much longer to do.
There is a video with a score of over 6,000,000 and it took 1 hour 18 minutes. It will be difficult and long to do better than that.    • NARC Arcade 1CC High Score - 6,388,550 (60...
