This movie is 36 seconds faster than the currently published version. About 30 seconds are because of routing changes. The long wait time before ringing the doorbell near the end is gone. I use all 3 kids this time. See below for more.
Info copied from previous submission(s) that still
applies (new things are in bold):
- Glitch: switched kids while in the kitchen so that Edna would disappear
- Trick: avoided a cutscene with Weird Ed by going upstairs quickly enough
-
Trick: had one kid push the gargoyle so another kid could get the silver key - Glitch: went downstairs after giving the can of Pepsi to the green tentacle so that the wax fruit wouldn't be needed
- Trick: used the Hunk-o-matic machine only once instead of twice
- Glitch: entered Ed's room, then switched kids and rang the doorbell
- Trick: lured Ed out of his room with the doorbell instead of being captured
- Trick: allowed the doorbell ringer (Razor) to be captured for teamwork purposes later
- Trick: minimized the time that the pool was drained so that a cutscene with purple tentacle was avoided
-
Glitch: cut off Ed's speech on the stairs by using a command (get gargoyle) - Trick: entered lab via new, faster method
- Trick: used the 0000 code to open the inner door to the lab.
- Glitch: used Ed's response to the doorbell to freeze purple tentacle. In case you are unfamiliar with the glitch, here's a brief outline. First enter a room containing someone unfriendly. Either switch kids or have a cutscene occur before being captured. After switching back to the first kid, the unfriendly person/tentacle will be frozen. (An exception is the green tentacle at the stairs.) The 'New Kid' command is disabled in the lab entry precisely because of this glitch, but the programmers seemingly forgot that cutscenes also make the glitch work.
- Glitch: didn't get the radiation suit (causes graphic oddities)
- Glitch:
Meteor's projectile visually touched Dave this time, but he was saved by the cutscene.prevented meteor from firing its projectile - Glitch: put meteor in the trunk without opening the trunk (!)
- Trick: completed the game fast enough that the cutscene with Sandy and Dr. Fred does not appear (saves 4 seconds)
