This run is 3064 frames faster than the previous submission by Guybrush and me. It is 3149 frames (52.81 seconds) faster than the current published run.
This run was started because of a 25 frame improvement in lv 1. Funny how things work out.
Improvements from previous submission:
- 1) pogoing off an enemy in lv1 – 25 frames
- 2) manipulating some enemies to disappear in lv4 and an extra pogo – 18 frames
- 3) using a crazy glitch in the moon level discovered by HHS to glitch past half the level – approx 3000 frames!
This glitch takes advantage of the fact the locked door will not allow you to pass. By taking a hit near it, it can eject you into the wall and appear at the top of the screen. The resulting graphical glitches can be manipulated to descend down screen where normally it is impossible to do so. As a result I can go directly to the boss fight, without getting the key, remote control, and using gizmo duck.
Special Thanks:
HHS – for discovering this glitch and using it to get to the boss fight. This was a creative use of glitching, way to go man.
Guybrush – While my partner was unable to help with this project, I owe him my gratitude for getting me started with this project and for his input on the previous submission.
Truncated & cardboard – for informing me of the lv 1 optimization
Hope you enjoy!
Bisqwit: Accepted. Nice glitch you got there, and the movie looks quite tightly optimized generally.
