The Great Giana Sisters (Commodore 64 PAL) TAS 6:45

This is a Tool Assisted Speedrun of Giana Sisters, a Super Mario clone. Unlike the previous 2 runs this was done entirely manually because I was unable to write a computer program to help me find fastest paths so it might be possible to improve this by a few seconds if trying hard enough.

By the way this cannot be compared directly to the Amiga version as game physics are different.

ok...maybe wrong place for answer but I have a question that I think many people wonder: What in the ******* **** is this. Did they do this first or did they do super mario brothers first? There are MANY games at Nintendo AND Commodore 64 looking the same - are very look like eachother (lol sorry for bad english).

Another example is rush and attack and some other game. Another example is meteroid and turricane - compare these games and you'll see what I talk about.

Super Mario Bros was done first. Due to the large similarities Giana Sisters was sued off the market by Nintendo.

@videomannen rush and attack on the NES and Green Beret for the C64? - Same Game different name.

turrican - not cane - has a totally different type of gameplay and Leveldesign than boring meteroid.

There are 32 Levels in Giana Sisters, the same amount of Levels in Super Mario Bros. 8 Worlds Times Four Levels in each one equals 32 Levels.

@videomannen A reason that many games are similar is that Nintendo was a asshole when it came to

multiplatform games, a developer could not make games for the NES and another platform or they will be sued or may not make/sell games for the NES, this scared

developer's in america but not in Europe since the NES was doing horrible so a lot of C64 games usually

were renamed and given different graphics (for example Nebulus became Castelian on NES)

Hvordan kan det være en klon når det er et helt andet spil?

@caemawred Actually there was a similar platform game called Hard'n'Heavy. I think the characters were boys...or somethink like that :)
