This is called Save Copy As. Notepad++ (and probably other editors) switches to your new file if you Save As. It doesn't, if you Save Copy As.

It counts how many checkpoints you've activated, so to do that trick you most likely need to spawn and activate 2 checkpoints twice.

To make it work you have to spawn that lonely snowball that flies to the right as you go left (with a snowman right after it). It's really far to the right, so we lose time by getting hit and then backtracking. But I haven't actually compared. Except for that fact that you can also get hit on the moving platform and then run off through the spikes. It also hasn't been proven that skipping checkpoints you can spawn the later checkpoints. Might need testing.

This doesn't spawn the snowman, but now we know there's a spike-invincibility period after getting hit.

The above tricks are for Chip'n'Dale 1, not 2.

Yeah. Any perversion one can imagine as the most bizzare already occupies someone.

I wonder who loves sharp square pixels so much he looks at them at 2160p fullscreen every time. No, seriously.

I'd point out that runs aren't rejected just because they desync on console/more accurate emulator. It has to be a deep bug preventing theoretical console replication entirely.

Does "getting teleporters" just mean activating them? I don't remember an item you get that way.

I have an interesting example. The game we're currently tasing, Gargoyles, has 3 difficulty settings, and it only affects the damage you take. The damage isn't refilled between levels, but most levels have refill items. Though, some of them aren't available in the tas route. So at first we thought that Easy would allow more damage boosts, then we tested Normal, and there's only a few places where we're heavily running out of health and need heavy planning. And the time it takes to pick Easy in menu (2 seconds) doesn't seem to justify what time we can gain just for playing Easy. So we decided to stay on Normal. The point is, Normal makes for a more interesting gameplay due to the mentioned heavy hp management in those places, and it's actually harder to tas, because of the amount of testing required. And at the same time, it is probably real-time faster. Hard is just too hard, and is unlikely worth it. That's also an example of adequate explanation to me.

Try to post a WIP more frequently so no idea appears too late.

Uh, I guess I'd have to invoke Suuper on this too, I don't understand the tsm logic enough. It erroneously counts branch states as greenzone when figuring out which states it can afford dropping from the greenzone during saving. Hold on.

Note: to fix the black dots that appear after some fade-in effects, I used Decrease fillrect edge.

Errr, Mario games are quite an obvious pick. As I said, use as many as your available amount of tasbots allows. I'd use SMB2 since it hasn't been replayed yet, and isn't too famous outside tasvideos, though it's a popular run over here. And since SMB2j isn't an option, and SMB1 is already too famous, I'd use SMB3, that is also a trend for using ACE.

Can't reproduce it the way TASeditor describes.

Your branches (as well as states) died when you saved it, don't know how. You might want to learn to stably reproduce such tasproj corruption so we can try fixing it.
