Can someone share a video of this run? I love this game, but I can't get my emulators working :/ I'm particularly curious about how 76 frames got saved at each of the three tube minibosses in stage 5.

I was made aware of the search for the second password for this game and decided to give it a shot, since I currently have access to my university supercomputer. Maybe I can use that to finally solve this. I have read this topic, the page on tcrf.net about this and been looking at the code on micro500's github. I was hoping to be able to get some more details here. Where should I pick up with this? The repo contains a few different approaches and not too much documentation about them. So far I've been mainly looking at the bruteforce code. From my understanding so far, I would use tm_avx_full or something similar to find potential codes and then check everything that finds with process_code. tm_avx_full has an IV array for byte0 - byte3. My understanding is I would keep changing these values until I find something? byte4 is always 0 in the code, is that proven to be the case, or is that another number I would adjust while searching? My plan going forward would be to move the project to using cmake to be able to test different compilers and stuff. I also want to do a few modifications to the code to use more modern language features and maybe make the code a bit more safe (no more new :). I also got some ideas for some improvements to the implementation, including a potential avx512 implementation that I wanna test. And the MPI parallelize the thing and run it on the supercomputer if I manage to finish all that before I loose access. Any additional info on this problem and the past work that has been done, as well as any further help would be very appreciated. PS: Nec-nec-nec-necropooooost
I don't have any ability to study this game technically or TAS it, but I'm definitely interested in any progress you'd make! Someone else who used to post in this thread might be more helpful though.

Doesn't trying that just result in him doing the splits and not actually punching? Or am I thinking of MK2?
Either way, it seems like fun playaround material. I vaguely recall he still tries to punch, but Sonya looks mildly annoyed instead of writhing in pain.

Solid enough playthrough. The problem though, and this may be an unavoidable issue with MK1, is that the gameplay doesn't look particularly varied or superhuman. There's nowhere near the variety you can show off in this game, particularly if you can't use someone like Shang Tsung as a playable character. If this isn't being played purely for speed, then a playaround could be neat, but then we'd really want to see more of the game's content or more of a chance to embarrass the CPU opponents. (Also, it's a shame you didn't get the Johnny Cage crotch punch in there, especially on Sonya ;-) )

FractalFusion, one of the main people involved with SMB3 hacks is MitchFlowerPower. He is the WR holder on this game's RTA speedrun, and I think only two or three people have times under 20 minutes on this game. This is a really ambitious SMB3 hack with a lot more custom modifications than most of them have, as SMB3 hacking is generally harder to do than SMW hacking. I really like this run, but the vertical wall climbing and tons of clips also takes away from the elegance of the intended solutions to puzzles. It's still a good run, and the TAS solutions have their own creativity too. I'm really surprised by how you handled Boom Boom, since that fight is usually so scripted in the intended approach. I'm voting Yes. Also, a nod of acknowledgement to speedrunner GrandPooBear for being the "Orb" voice.

Thank you very much. Nice work! You hit your head on ceilings a little too much for my liking during waiting times, but I like most of your entertainment choices. (You had one "fireball fart" riding an elevator platform in World 4 that made me smile.) Stage 3-1 is the highlight of the run. So many close skips using the air-roll powerup.

Wow, you're not kidding about this being similar to Gremlins 2. It's even got the same kind of lava, floating platforms, rotating spikes, and conveyors. At least this doesn't have the shopkeeper guy, and the music is a pretty different style. The dialogue is also different, but of course you skip it in the game. This was a fun run. Nice work!

Your absolute annihilation of Joker amused me the most. The guy didn't get to move at all.

I don't understand why there's so much pausing in boss fights, but it seems like that makes the most difference with this submission. It's always great to see movies of this game, and the amount of lag reduction is impressive too.

Nice short exploration game. The environments feel a little empty, but the run is quite short. Good little premise for a game. How long would you expect a 100% rubber ducky run to take?

It's a shame that the screen lightly shakes when you dash, so maybe this should have a motion-sickness warning. Great run, and tons of spike abuse.

It's too bad that the boss music for this mode isn't very good. It makes the run more repetitive. But nice job with strategy adjustment and some fast glitches.

I do not remember much about the previous run, but this was very fun to see. What in the world happened with that ending?? It's great to see multi-second improvements to this run.

How did you jump off spikes in 5-2?? Is that something that only hurts you if you stay on the ground for more than 1 frame?

Technically impressive, but the movie is basically just a glitched route to the final boss fight, and this final boss is pretty trivial compared to most bosses in the game. You don't even play through Gem's mansion when you get there, not that you could anyway (without the Pyscho Slider), but it cuts down on the entertainment value. Interesting to see this as a possibility, but the movie itself gets a No from me.

I will register the same complaint I always do in these runs. Why do you destroy weapon pods and other such things if you don't need the pickups? To me that violates the spirit of pacifist.
I think it's to gain more score from destroying the pods, so you can earn more extra lives and use death abuse. In fact, without that, I think you'd be forced to destroy one of the snow tanks in Stage 5, which is IMHO a bigger violation of the pacifist rules. At least shooting the weapon pods doesn't result directly in death to an enemy. It's good to see this run getting as tightly optimized as the usual any% run. Nice job.

I'm amazed people put this amount of work into this game still. It's gone a long ways since adelikat's first TAS submission on this game. Nice job!

That is some crazy glitching. As long as this doesn't count as abuse of a debug code or anything (like the GT Code in Super Metroid), I'm all for it. Those new zips are pretty impressive. It's a shame this is probably going to obsolete the current Hagane run, which is one of the most entertaining runs on the site for me. I figure the old run also uses some zipping glitches (even if nowhere near to the same extent) so there's not really much of a consistent argument for keeping it as the "low glitch" branch.

This game seems unintentionally hilarious. For one thing, it's actually faster to disregard an ACE exploit? You win the whole game on your first ever catch?... and what's that one guy with the F on his mask, predating the whole "press F to pay respects" meme? I can't say this is actually an entertaining run for its gameplay though.

You've done impressive work with this game. Thank you so much for the detailed submission notes (thank you and Manaclaw, I guess)... this made it much easier for me to follow the basic outline of the game. Out of question, if it were possible to do a multiplayer run of this, how much faster do you think the run would get? And what would be the optimal number of players?

Every multi-game run is amazingly impressive, even though this isn't really multiple games ;-) It's actually easier to focus on both games when they are well synchronized, and it makes the different boss tactics for each character that much more obvious. That makes this run particularly entertaining in a different way from previous multi-game runs. I have no issues with using the modded ROM for the Zero game. The alternative would be to have an exact duplicate run with X for the first two stages until Zero is unlocked, and that would be less entertaining. I also liked seeing you get to fight the Zero Virus (that's his name, right?) with Zero. Very strong Yes vote.

(http://tasvideos.org/2001M.html) Thanks to feos and MESHUGGAH for taking up runs of Duck Tales 2 because of my old signature! Thanks also to Samsara for finishing a Treasure Master run.

The plot looks like it should be pretty crazy for this game, especially when you get the fish wearing tights and the pink snail. That kept me entertained even when I didn't know what the story was saying. Some nice action as well makes this a Yes for me. Subtitles would be awesome, but I understand if that's too much work. There is a fan translation of this ROM that could probably be used to help.

Solid movie. I find this a lot easier to understand than the original NES game, though the difficulty seems a bit too easy for most of it. The music in this one is more annoying, in my opinion. Everything gets more interesting in the Solomon levels though. I'm somewhere between Meh and Yes for this one.
