Even the worst video games ever made can make for a good TAS.

The Cheetahmen is game #52 in Action 52, probably the most infamous multi-game cartridge released for the NES. The story goes that the "Action Gamemaster" (i.e. some guy) was playing his video game when three Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle ripoffs pull him through the TV and into their world. They tell him that there are enemies in their world and then leave him behind to fight the enemies.

In this run, EZGames69 ( https://tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/EZGames69 ) and Samsara ( https://tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/Samsara ) decide not to use any warps that can skip large portions of each level. This includes the glitch in level 5 that can warp the player to a grey void that has a chance of spawning the final boss.
