This is a demonstration (demo) of the idiosyncratic-style gameplay in the "Super Mario Land" series (excluding the first "Wario Land").

Here is the simple story arc.
Sarasaland & Mario Land arc:
- Super Mario Land
- Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Goins
NOTE: The first "Wario Land", albeit marketed as a direct sequel, is not a "Super Mario" game; it is a "Wario" game, and the events of it lead into "Wario Land II" (rather than "Virtual Boy Wario Land").

A guide/walkthrough of how to get across the Yoku blocks in the Heat Man stage of Mega Man 2 for the Famicom.
The Yoku blocks are quite infamous for tripping up players, mostly at the end.
The strategy here is to go by the rhythm, as if one was on a countdown. With this strategy, this will reduce the need to jump on the Yoku block above the lower one.")

NOTE: This tutorial is not meant to be friendly. There might be a bit of safeness. But to get the fastest possible time, these tricks must be performed.
Bonus Room #1 skipping:
Skipping Bonus Room #1 is faster because it sets up for revisiting the level in order to do the Start+Select trick, thus skipping the waiting game.
Bonus Room #2 approaching:
More Barrel Cannon physics strategy.
Bonus Room #2:
Its possible to one-cycle the fast spinning Barrel Cannon at the very start to get the letter O, but its pretty much frame perfect.
Bonus Room #3 approaching:
High chance of shooting into that wasp if one choses to one-cycle the fast spinning Barrel Cannon.
Bonus Room #1:
The level is revisited to enter Bonus Room #1 and do the Start+Select trick, thus skipping the waiting game.
In order to get 101% in the Game Boy Advance version, every Bonus Room has to be found. Not only that, but every picture (as well as the K-O-N-G letters) has to be collected.")

Letter K approaching:
Normally, the shortcut would already be taken after getting the letter K. But getting a picture in the Winky Bonus is required to get 101%. So its faster to just get the Winky Token and then take the shortcut.
DK Barrel:
If Diddy wasnt available in Jungle Hijinxs and Coral Capers, he will be available now, especially after taking the shortcut.
Barrel Cannon physics:
The Barrel Cannon physics are different from the SFC version. In the GBA version, holding either Left or Right on the D-Pad while holding the B button gives movability after shooting out of the Barrel Cannon. Holding Right on the D-Pad without holding the B button after shooting out of the Barrel Cannon can make that section faster. By holding only Right on the D-Pad, the Barrel Cannon gives extra speed. Of course, this only works when the Barrel Cannon is shooting horizontally. It doesnt work when the Barrel Cannon is shooting diagonally (except for certain ones that give extra speed).
Bonus Room #1:
Dropping down while avoiding the 1st Barrel Cannon would be faster. However, its pretty much pixel perfect.
Letter N:
In the GBA version, the letter N is removed from the shortcut route. So the shortcut is skipped in order to get the letter N. The shortcut is taken afterwards.
Level ending:
Finishing a level as Donkey is important. In fact, finishing a world as Donkey is important. In order to get a picture, a world (Kongo Jungle) has to be finished by Donkey. Afterwards, that world has to be revisited to add 1% more to 101%.
Be sure to go to Candy after this level. In the GBA version, playing Candys dancing mini-game (as well as getting Perfect rating [1 Hit allowed]) is required to get 101%.

Crab patterns:
After the story cutscene, the crab pattern starts. It depends on how fast or slow the levels are cleared along with text skipping. The more one speedruns this category, the more the speedrunner will see some fishing patterns. Regardless, the RNG is still involved in them. In a casual playthrough, it can be random whether the crab shows up or not.
Funkys Fishing 1:
For this mini-game, dont bother waiting to catch the crab.
