** The fastest speed run of all time (On SDA) is actually [http://speeddemosarchive.com/Clue.html Clue], coming in at a time of three seconds. By the time you finish reading this, you could have already watched the run in its entirety.
** The speedrun of the PC version is now the fastest, clocking in at ''[http://dl.speeddemosarchive.com/demo.pl?Clue_PC_001 a mere second!]''
* Some TAS runs of [[Game Boy]] titles get a bit ridiculous thanks to the ability to manipulate the game's memory ''directly'' to take the player right to the ending. Demonstrated to great effect in the current standing runs of Pokémon Yellow version ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yXTpnUCh5Q 1:09.63]) and ''[[Super Mario Land 2: Six6 Golden Coins|Super Mario Land 2]]'' ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZqEcVg8Ei8 2:28.08]).
** It doesn't have to be on [[Game Boy]]. Case in point: ''[[Super Mario World (video game)|Super Mario World]]'' in [http://tasvideos.org/1945M.html 2:36.40].
* A 43-minute world record [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RkVkewooBU run] of the original ''[[Deus Ex]]'' (on Realistic difficulty) exploits a number of bugs and shortcuts (grenade jumping, skipping the entire first mission, glitching JC's weapons into a prison cell so he can retrieve them immediately afterwards, physics exploits, etc.) and the open-world nature of the game to get past situations that would stall most other players. The end result is that JC Denton skips most of the boss encounters, never deactivates his killswitch, has conversations with people he's never met before and blows himself up into [[Ludicrous Gibs]] right before hightailing it out of Area 51.
