---------------
Going for approval... (not finished yet)
Warning! Big File!
This Beatmap contains a 45-MB mp3 file (~50 min.), some skin files and many Storyboard files.
I'll add seperate download links sometime, so you can download only what you need (storyboard files, mp3...)

(Sorry if there are parts in this text that are incorrect or not understandable, I don't know if my English is that good. If anything is unclear, just ask.)
Explanation:
This is my new beatmap, and it's a looong one... When it's finished, it will be about 50 minutes, so it's even longer than parapara, which is kind of ironic since it's not even an actual song.^^ I kinda understand some people are going to hate me for this...
This beatmap basically simulates a complete run through the popular game "I wanna be the Guy", which features 8 Bit Graphics and music from many well-known Video games from the past. I took the mp3 from a complete run recorded by someone called ZaibirQuild on YouTube. You can watch the first of five parts of this run here.
I know it's impossible for such a long map to get ranked, but maybe it will be good enough sometime to be approved? :)
I was like "IWBTG is the hardest video game in the world, so why shouldn't it also be the longest beatmap in osu!?" (Please correct me if there is a map longer than this.)
So I decided to throw the mp3 files from the run together and started mapping the whole thing. Maybe it's too much work and maybe it's not even worth being approved, but I think it's a fun project.
Actually I wanted to name the diff "Impossible" after the hardest diff in iwbtg, but it seems as it wouldn't upload then...

Overview:
I made this to make navigating and modding this map easier. If you want to mod, just toggle the spoilerbox to see which Parts need modding and at what time to find them.

to be continued...

Mapping:
I tried to use various mapping styles for the different parts. My goal is to make the map slightly more difficult as playtime progresses, but I knowthat won't be simple at some points. Feel free to mod issues if you find them. Don't be afraid of the map's length, you don't have to mod everything at once.
I'm not sure if I want guest mapping for some parts, but I'll accept it if it's good and if I don't think I could make it any better.

Storyboarding:
Well, originally I wanted to include a video of the complete run I mentioned before to reduce work, but the video file was just too big and osu! didn't seem to like that. So I thought I'll storyboard the entire game. However, this might be a little too much work and will even increase the filesize, so it might be enough to make a storyboard consisting of iwbtg screenshots only. Storyboarding help is highly requested and I'll really appreciate it.

Timing:
Since this map consists of many classic video game melodies, it also has many timing points. I have problems to find the correct timing for some parts (you'll find a list below), so please mod them if you have some better timing settings. I decided to have Kiai Time whenever there's a boss battle in the game. Tell me if you have a better idea.

Timing help needed:
06:46 Graveyard part (Ghosts 'n Goblins)
12:07 Dracula fight (Castlevania)
16:53 Kraidgief fight (?)
19:26 Bowser/Wart/Wily fight (Super Mario World)
27:37 Metroid Part / Mother Brain fight (Metroid)
32:42 All bosses defeated (Castlevania)
33:02 Journey (Duck Tales)
38:58 Minigame (?)
43:41 The Guy Battle Second Part (?)
45:23 Ending (Final Fantasy?)

Maybe you should fix.

Mp3 is too big. Consider spliting it.
Open AIMod (Ctrl+Shift+A) and fix all things.

Thanks, I'll re-upload it soon. :)

Mp3 is too big. Consider spliting it.
What does that mean and how can I do that?

I ran out of ideas there.^^ Still don't know what to do with that part.

Hier schon mal das Timing für 2 der "Problemstellen":

12:07 Dracula fight (Castlevania)
1) BMP: 135,00, Offset: ~727.238, 3/4 Takt (da bin ich mir nicht ganz sicher)
2) BMP: 132,25, Offset: ~737.890, 4/4 Takt

16:53 Kraidgief fight (?)
Hier gibt es immer abwechselnd einen 4/4 und einen 5/4 Teil, etwas schwer zu timen...
1) BMP: 114,00, Offset: ~1.013.570, 4/4 Takt
2) BMP: 171,00, Offset: ~1.024.112, 4/4 Takt
3) BMP: 114,00, Offset: ~1.039.550, 4/4 Takt
4) BMP: 171,00, Offset: ~1.050.578, 4/4 Takt
5) BMP: 114,00, Offset: ~1.065.530, 4/4 Takt
6) BMP: 171,00, Offset: ~1.076.076, 4/4 Takt
7) BMP: 114,00, Offset: ~1.091.514, 4/4 Takt

Wenn ich Zeit und Lust hab, schau ich mir später noch andere Stellen an.

Viel Glück mit deiner Map ;)

Vielen Dank!^^ Werds dann morgen oder so updaten. Das Timing ist perfekt, und gerade bei diesen beiden Stellen hatte ich große Sorgen.

Über mehr Modding würd ich mich natürlich freuen. :D

You should get more timing help. There are a lot of sections (even the ones early on) that are off.

May I map a section? :D

Nice work.

A pretty interesting map you have here. Not sure if you're going to continue it, but if you do, I strongly suggest using a compilation of songs from the game IWBTG instead of simply an mp3 of gameplay.All the sound effects now are pretty much impossible to time due to playing at random times, not to mention quickly switching between songs in places (the Tyson fight, for example) only confuses the player.

To make a compilation, Simply create an mp3 with audacity or another program where you have each song sequentially with fade-outs in between each one (preferably in chronological order: intro music > title > etc.). See my Phoenix Wright compilation for clarification.

Once you have a compilation, I promise that it'll be much easier to both time and map. It'll also likely be shorter as well. You've put a bunch of storyboard/skinning into this and I'd hate to see it go to waste. If you need any assistance with anything, let me know.

Yeah, I realized I should have done it like that from the beginning. No Idea how I thought this would work. Right now I'm working on an authentic EBA Map but I might come back to this one sometime and try another concept. Thanks for your suggestions.
