RoboCop (GB) any% speedrun (Now with deathwarp!) in 5:57
6Original US release (1990), played on emulator (BGB 1.5.10). This run is subject to the rules of the leaderboard at https://www.speedrun.com/gb_robocop.
Seems like a fine time to revive this speedgame! Based on a glitch documented by @RealXXXTurkey (ref: https://youtu.be/DjpH_xdNdFo), why bother with 5 minutes of pointless tank action when you could just die.
This was a decent run. Maybe could knock a couple seconds off? Face RNG was good. Just a couple stages that could use some refinement.
For purposes of the leaderboard, this category has become the defacto any%, while the old Any% has been renamed to Any% No Deathwarp.
Glitch notes
The game checks for stage completion when you get to the end of a stage naturally OR when you die. In either case, if you have health greater than zero remaining*, you will advance to the next stage. But well, it just so happens, you can collect a health power-up during your death animation!
* Note: This check is likely only valid for odd numbered stages. You see, the game does not trigger death until your health drops below zero. This means you can complete a stage with zero health but not advance to the next one. A notable exception is stage 6, which you CAN pass with zero health remaining. The other even numbered stages behave differently wrt health.
