It is a fake superplay, where players exploit the possibilites of an emulator: Saving every few seconds and reloading if he messes up.
This run also looks like the player has used a slow motion-like option on the emulator. So he can play and record his play in slow motion and navigate relaxed through the enemies, only at the video playback speed the game will move on it's regular speed.

A save state is what you can use in an emulator to save your game wherever you want. A save state run is a run where the player uses save states so he can get his run as close to perfect as possible.

EDIT: I try to be helpful and Edge has to go and beat me to it.

I never realized that Gradius and Stinger shared some music....

Better known as Tool-assisted speedrun or TAS. You can find loads of them here, including several Gradius ones.

The best Gradius superplays still reside at http://www.super-play.co.uk/, you can count on those as being legit.

Gotta love that crazy Morimoto. I think he originally released this demonstration after his ridiculous SMB replay.

25% of original speed for this replay, IIRC.
