Well you never know,there are a lot of great players who compete. I've always loved the Wizards & Warriors games. 

As far as this game,you have to play it a little different. My advice is to play it pacifist and semi-speed run style. Just avoid everything you can,get what you need and go. The level layouts are not super difficult,but can be tough to traverse at first. 

I could probably write a guide for this pretty quick.
 


I looked up speed running videos and the game can be beaten in under 15 minutes.

I've beaten it a few times as a kid, and just playing the first level I could sort of feel a lot of it coming back to me. That said, even when I did beat it, I died a buttload of times. So, just good enough to complete the game, but not enough to really compete. 

 

In junior high,I was over at my best friend's house playing this game. I had gotten to the final battle and was going to show off to his brother by beating the game. (I had beaten it before.) I played and played it and couldnot freaking beat it. Eventually his brother just got tired of waiting and walked off. T_T

That is one sad story.  

I still can't believe I don't have the physical copy of this game, because Fabio cover...
Still, I will give it a nice try tonight and post a score.

 My run was a touch over 30. I did take a bathroom break and got a snack,so it was a little under 30. The game is definitely short if you know where to go.

Using the glitch to allow yourself to keep your magic power after each level is forbidden


Is this something you could easily do by mistake?

This game is not hard. It's not like super easy,but for anyone who beat (or got far into) Battletoads and Ghosts N Goblins this game should be a cakewalk once you get over the learning curve.

The game combines difficult platforming sections with unavoidable hits from respawning enemies and a useless attack. The first level cloud area is pure aggravation. I can't say that I understand this game's appeal at all.

 You just woke up alright.  Woke up from the crane-kick induced coma.

And here I am, wondering when the two of you will stop bickering at each other like an old couple and kiss already.

Here's a kiss with my foot for Double Dragon



Here's a fist kiss for Bubble Bubble



And here's everything together for Golf

The final boss is supposed to be very difficult, but I doubt that I'll even reach the second level.

The final boss is a pain,but definitely beatable. If you can get past the first level,you'll make it to the third as the second level is pretty easy and has very few enemies with cheap attacks.

Alas, I have two shots of rum in me and I am about to give this game my first try in a long, long while.
What could go wrong?

Not easily I'd say, as long as you collect the piece of Ironsword after each stage by simply moving Kuros on it, you will not pull the glitch.

Shaved another 50K points from my score. I might be able to lower this further, but I don't think I can do a sub 500K run.

Managed to shave only 100K points from my previous score. There is still a lot of fat to trim from my score.
I need more Fabio inspiration to workout that fat out.

It appears that in my drunk state I... have beaten the game.
That is the power of the Fabio.

I have beaten it while fairly tipsy last night, somehow.
It just can't be any tough.

You must have some experience with this game. I can't beat the first level.
