Ummm...I think you are referring to 'tool assisted' speed runs, which are for tools.  Its like using game genie, its a cop out. It takes absolutely no challenge to use hacks.

I wouldn't say it has absolutely no challenge, as those runs normally need a lot of forethought and understanding of a game's mechanics. Tool-assisted runs certainly do remove the reflex aspect of things, and being able to go back removes the chance to fail.
Super Ghouls N Ghosts is quite a tricky game. I wrote a couple chocojournal entries detailing my frustrations with that game. Also, what happened to that one avalanche in your video?
Jam it back in, in the dark.
