Easiest Run Ever?

So, in short, I found a copy of Barney's Hide And Seek Adventure for the Sega Genesis in a used game store. To beat the game, hold right for 4 minutes and 58 seconds and hit any button twice to jump two times in the final level. It's so simple, it's shouldn't even be called a run. So that is why I propose a challenge for this run. Whoever can run it in the most ridiculous circumstances wins. Anyone else in?

It's weather time!

"Oh boy, a trumpet", "I see a racoon", "please press a button when you find a friend", "Super-dee duper!".
That 16-bit voice will haunt my dreams.

In terms of a run, I can't figure out how to lose much less do anything remotely interesting. Sure I get 0 at the end of each stage, but that doesn't stop me from progressing on to the next level anyway. I've never before played a game so easy that it's frustrating.

All the things

Depends on what you mean by ease. If it's the amount of interaction required to complete the game, then there are a number of games you can point to. Clue, for example, you could potentially win without ever looking at what's going on, and within a few button presses you may have won. Some games will just complete themselves without any interaction if you wait long enough, although you can't call it a speedrun anymore. If you mean some combination of interaction, patience, etc to get a reasonable "run" completed, then that's different yet.

Wasn't there a game Naegleria plays, that literally beats itself if you don't give any input for duration x?

Guys, please. (At least as far as I've found, all you need to do is spam the button input kinda fast, reset until success. Takes tenacity for sure, but only that.)

What is a man?

As for the original discussion.. Blindfolded run? you'll need to keep track of time to time the two jumps? Tongue

That isnt the fastest way to do it though going left is faster on some levels as shown here

Actually, that's the very Barney game mentioned in this thread. It's quite a bit slower though.

Vanilla H is mai waifu

far cry 4 : wait 15 minuts without doing anything.
after that, open a door, place an urn, and open a door, and this is TEH URN.
congratulations, you have the easiest run.
not necessary the shortest, but yeah, one of the easiest.

Home Is Where One Starts has one ending where you just wait for the bus, which I think is about 1min30s of just standing in place then I forget if you have to click to get on the bus; but it is a pretty low interaction run.
