The Game Boy classic is now available on the 3DS eStore but rather than playing it normally, why not try a speed run?
This video shows how you can finish it in under ten minutes (or 13mins with cut scenes included). The trick is to keep moving. The hard part is knowing when to jump. As always this speed run video makes it look a lot easier than it actually is – it’s not perfect, but it’s impressive for a non-tool-assisted run. We dare you to give it a try and let us know how you got on.
