What's this I see? ArandomgameTASer having an actual work ethic?
Yes.
Twinbee - Rainbow Bell Adventure is a platformer game, akin to the SNES Sparkster in terms of propulsion mechanics. What's odd about it is the fact that it spawned from a shmup franchise, known as Pop'N Twinbee in the US and Europe.
This run plays on the Japanese version, as for some reason the European versions turns it into a linear game. This one, however, is a bit more similar to the way Super Mario World did it, as there are multiple paths and exits in each level.
This run is about a minute and 4 seconds faster then the Nicovideo TAS found over here: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm7208573

IL Timings
This game has a timer in stages, so a comparison is made with that. (It's actually a fairly accurate time, if the game didn't lag. But w/e)

General Notes
-Similar to Sparkster, you will bounce all around if you touch a wall while boosting. Quite irritating to deal with a lot of the time.
-Pressing Left + Right will make you go to the right extremely quickly. This is used whenever the jets are recharging.
-You can't jump with a fully charged jet, unless you use it or lose it.
-Jet direction is determined the first frame you let go of the B button, and what direction you're holding during that frame.
-Winbee's punch attack is activated by attacking and then turning the opposite direction from where you're facing.
Thanks
