On a level based platformer?  Using the warp zones or warp whistle. 

On a level based platformer that you can't skip stages.  How do you rush in a platformer?  It's not like you're skipping text, skipping dungeons, skipping levels, skipping missions, etc.  You can't rush on a platformer that requires you to play just about every single stage available.   

How I mentioned Uncharted earlier?  When Uncharted 4's single player is reviewed and called out for only being six to eight hours long, I'm going to say they were rushing because they didn't get all 100 treasures.  It's fair isn't it?

*edit*

Doing a speed run on a players first attempt at a game?  Yeah.  Sure he is.  Because we all know how most journalists are absolute pros at video games.  They do speed runs all the time. /s

Besides.  Speed runs aren't players rushing on some games.  Those are just players not sucking and playing a lot better than the majority of us, as well as using tricks to get past certain points quicker.  A speed run on Castlevania is still going to go through every stage, but there are tricks that people who aren't playing their first time will know to get better times.  Examples below.

Oh, and yeah.  Stage 21.  The game loops.  That's the second playthrough for the first set of pictures.  Basically you wait at that spot and jump to land on the top of the bat, get damaged, and get knocked over to the other side, skipping having to go down the stairs right there and then back up on the other side, skipping one room.  The second set of pictures, you avoid having to go to the right then back left across the moving platform.

It's not rushing, it's playing through the exact same game better than the average player.  If you die 100 times it's not our fault it takes you 15 hours to beat and us only four(not talking about Castlevania here.)

I'll agree/disagree depending on if we're talking about Nintendo of Awful or Nintendo of Europe. In Europe people certainly got the chance to buy the game, and it's still possible to get a new copy without shelling out a small fortune (my game store of choice recently got a batch of new, shiny Xenoblade copies), but there's no excuse whatsoever for the treatment Xenoblade got from NoA. Not only did American gamers have to beg for the game but when it finally got released the one and only shipment was tiny and limited to a single store chain. Inexcusable.

you have to make a point for me to avoid it.

That point was that you came in here just to argue for the sake of arguing. You have proven me right time and time again already. 

2 times longer than your average generic dudebro shooter.

Not bad.

Colleting all the stars and unlocking secret levels may take you a while though.

Pretty sure you can spend hours upon hours playing a "dudebro" shooters multiplayer.

Have had the EU Classic Controller Pro Limited Edition box set since day 1 ;) and yes, fantastic game.

Also have the LE box sets for Pandora's Tower and Last Story. (Finally some perks to being a UK gamer! Nintendo owe us big time for the last 20 years! hehe)

Change the title. It was already said that he rsuhed it and that it will have more in store for us after playing through it like 3D Land.

It's not.. End of story.

There is no such thing as *rushing* through a mario game. Therefore, the title shall stay the same.
