When it's a shitpost submission. No. You've already seen the reasons already mentioned by others on why that's a dumb thing to ask for now.

Oh so that's what they meant by Gotta Catch 'Em All being obsolete... Jesus. I'm going to have to watch this back to gather my thoughts on it, as well as my vote. The vote is leaning towards Yes on entertainment. Nope, scratch that. It dropped to Meh. (Obvious shotgun for Publication here on the off chance of it being accepted, cause Pokemon.)

Seeing as it's April 2nd now on the server... and that no one got it. Here's both the correction file (which has been replaced, thank you) to the submission and the encode for it: User movie #46165279881451859 Link to video I'm embedding it here mainly for those to see what the original looked like.

It's been 3,000 years... Shotgunning this puppy for the Publications. As for voting... The GBA Crash series is a hard place between Yes and Meh. I'll have to get back to you on that one. Edit: Decided to go with Meh. You did power through it, and did a lot of entertainment when you saw fit... it doesn't fit completely with a GBA Crash game. I agree with Warepire that you need to expand on the submission text, even text that you have already up there seems wrong to read on how it was worded (Dingodile). N-Tranced bopping when?

I'm usually committed to watching shit Aprill Fool jokes. But this is literally a single frame, which does nothing, but just sit there, menacingly. Mainly because the game is not a game at all. It's load and your done, stare at the arches. Only that this decides to cleverly use Arial font to try and engage the user. What would've been better to pull this joke is to match up the frame count to the first dialogue showing up and then the no response working in terms of context to it. What would've also sealed this TAS to actually have some commitment in being a joke for a one frame TAS with Arial being displayed is to match the floor color of Bronze (from the looks of it) and actually hunted down an 8bit font in the style of A2600 to use instead of Arial. In terms of Context of what year the "game" was made (1983) I can't let you get away with it completely with the "Sir, are you going to order anything?" As McDonald's back then (and some now) actually lookout into the drive-thru to see the car, so they can say "Welcome to McDonald's may I take your order?" so something more interesting in terms of that inserted dialogue at the end would've been smarter than coming off dull as the staff member is aware of existence, so like them checking with the microphone seeing if that's actually activated, or making a joke that the customer is no longer there would've been stronger. Terms of jokes, and the payoff of a joke that's trying to commit to something. I'm giving this a No. April Fools it is. Humorous for what's provided it isn't.

Exactly this. I don't think we can take this TAS seriously at all when it ignores its own set rules.

The first half which is the not abusing the collisions is there and it's Eh. Great improvement and all, but eh. The second half was the head scratcher and the shocker. Bloody smashing it out, and abusing the game. I'm more leaning towards the side of Voting Meh and not Yes, so I'll be doing that which is Meh.

Yay someone that's not myself, feos or TheCoreyBurton did a VBoy encode (ignoring the fact on not correcting the levels but still yay). This isn't entertaining to me, but it's a good watch for a VBoy ga--- AGH FACE! Giving it a Meh, and if it does get accepted I'll shotgun this boat for Publication.

core i5-2520M video card:Intel(R) HD graphics family
To point out this is not the current generation (Which is Skylake onwards). zelpikukirby is running on an Intel HD Graphics 3000. I have a system that runs Intel HD Graphics 4000 so I'm giving it a shot on sync. If you own something that is running Intel HD Graphics 3000 I urge you to check it. (I checked with a HD Graphics 630 which desyncs at Pinna Park Episode 3.) And desyncs for me on this HD Graphics 4000, Pinna Park Episode 3. Edit: DwainiumB has synced, imma double check my shit. Double checked my stuff. I still desync with the 4000, so 3000 is your bet. It's basically just Default Graphic settings btw. Just Direct3D 11 and Intel HD Graphics 3000 like DwainiumB wrote.

Oh, it's the boring autoscroller that has been rejected twice in the past by 2 different judges. Guess it's suitable that the YouTube category to this video is "People & Blogs" then.
This is roughly 4 minutes faster than my(DrD2k9) previous submission of this game.
    This time is saved primarily by foregoing the bonus stages and star gathering. There are probably around 15 seconds saved through better optimization of the boss battles.
That's not a fair comparison considering the fact that DrD2k9's TAS deliberately took the bonus stages to attempt to gain appeal of the game. Considering that the only position of time improvement is actually the bosses over the previous submission here's an actual comparison. The improvement is 00:09.83 (590 frames) not "15 seconds": https://streamable.com/1lzor Since you also have to factor out the score bonus since the previous TAS deliberately takes the stars for points. I'd rather watch an improvement to "all bonus stages" than this. My vote on entertainment is No.

It is nearly 2 minutes slower than old Dark Fulgore's TAS.
It's not a good idea to compare it to a 2 player and a Normal difficulty to a 1 player, specifically Donald and Hard difficulty. It's easier just to point out it's his 3rd TAS he made. There's opening input issues with his menuing, there's 32 frames of blank input at the end (stuff that's been brought up in the past). And there's guaranteed issues with his input within the and transitioning to the levels. As well as the questionable rerecord count to TAStime... especially for a TAS that was made in snes9x.

The Dragster saga will never end.
THE RIDE NEVER ENDS As for my vote, I'll leave it with a yes. Good improvement on the shortest input work. Gave some of us a heart attack when we saw it with a "Did 5.57 somehow get beat?" Thankfully, that's not the case, and instead a welcome improvement to early input.

Spiked the input. 400-odd blank frames. You may want to be careful if you do create another improvement. Upload it to userfiles and post it here, don't create another submission.

17:54 is the current world record. A new TAS is warranted.
THANKS SHERLOCK. It's not like it's been the World Record for 3 years now. There's a lot of TASes that warrant for a new TAS due to either the RTA community closing ground, or there's new techniques not used.

I'm just going to say that the menuing and ending input is sloppy/full of mashing between Start and A... which isn't a good thing. Apparently according to you, you used TAStudio to create this. I'm pointing this out to everyone, due to the low rerecord count appearing. You wouldn't need to mash the input to advance the screens. Also the first mash you did with Start and A only reads the Start input, never the A. When you go into the options to Change the Difficulty and text you hit down, it's faster to hit up and going from the bottom up through the menuing. Your branch is a lie. You're playing on "Wussy" not "Regular". This is a well made first attempt, just minor errors within. I'll Spike the input (and hope it doesn't desync) and provide a fixed opening and ending input. Ha, it desynced... dangit. Ending input corrected (2082 frames): http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/download/45882935960391393 It might be better to TAS this as Alex only. Unless..... Random fun fact: You can end your input at frame 33118 (09:14.48) and have Ryan deal with the fight and he'll deliver the final blow at frame 35166 (09:48.77)

Just submit it as a bk2 not a tasproj. tasproj is not accepted by the site... mainly one reason is because it's huge.

You know what. I'm not shocked you created another submission. I knew you had this hidden in your pants since you did bring up that you were going to "TAS" this game. You were warned on multiple occasions, but you never chose to read the advice and take it.

This is your second submission which is barely optimized. This is unacceptable. If you simply search for a place to share your movies, use the userfiles section. The game itself lacks the quality to be accepted to this site. Read the Movie Rules if you haven't already. Be careful about submitting multiple obviously bad runs. You will receive a submission ban if you continue.
Now those are the two that appeared on TASVideos. Here are the ones from TASVideos Discord. (emphasis on this one, I also wrote this bit 3 times)

itsameMario203 TASing isn't a one day thing, when you go "I'VE DONE GAME IN ONE DAY, I SUBMIT." It's more like, weeks to months to years on working on the game, depending on the game and how much technical stuff lies within it. You need to understand honestly, otherwise you're gone. You're on the warning and I've done my needed "what you need to do." Which I'm going to reiterate a third time.
You should at least ground yourself on knowing how to TAS.
Half assing a TAS which is slower than something that exists in the form of RTA or TASing (or even a longplay). Seriously, ground yourself and learn. Don't spew garbage. Or are you going to ignore it?

Especially after not reading into what was advised for you to do instead. Those two TASes that I linked weren't there for show, it was there to show you the damn movement tech. Tried to save your status, but instead you didn't take any of this to heart for whatever damn way you had. Enjoy being unable to submit anything, and enjoy using the userfile area the place that you were told to actually use but didn't.
