You brave souls. Much love to you guys! <3 Everything you do brings Wind Waker at least a step closer to completion.

Glad I improved your workday for a few minutes! :D Hopefully this'll do it again. Link to video And I'm terrified of the next level.

Favorite level time. Link to video Durian Kingdom may be the best kingdom, but Clock Tower is absolutely my favorite level, and the same-wall wall jump trick really speeds it up. I took a break because all the Helibird stuff lately and my pace of working on this run was destroying my wrist. Time to invest in a better keyboard maybe. With macro buttons.

There is a little delay. It is just the way the game is. You can't hit the pig until I start. And yeah, there's no credits skip, unless we found some new serious glitch. I couldn't find one, though. :P

With a bit of buildup because the boss has a unique little thing on the menu. Link to video Credits roll after this guy... but another set of kingdoms remain. The next one has my favorite level.

They're slow one way or another. Next time I'm running through the level I'm going to try a more straight line approach. I feel like I was too set on thinking about reversing my left-ward momentum, which makes me go up higher. I did try out an alternative, but I think there's more experimenting to be done, indeed. This is why the whole game is getting a second run. :D

I can stun more quickly, indeed. But then the boss is left with 20HP. Also, I've never congratulated you on being one of the twenty or so people in the entire world who have ever played Donkey Kong Jungle Beat for Gamecube. :D

Link to video Durian down! Needs adjustments still, but I'm just going to get through the end at this point when it's nothing but minor stuff that only saves a little time. The second run through of the game where I'll be applying new tricks and cleaning up old mistakes is on the way anyways, and will require me to go through everything once more. This run isn't complete until I do that. Big scary boss coming soon :o

If I recall well, you're doing any% run? It looks amazing so far! :) PS: A platine run(or better, the "maxi run"!) would be nice. :)
A maximum score run would be extremely tedious. It would be hours of repetition. I may do a maximum score run of a certain level for fun later. This run is a 100% though, since a Platinum medal is awarded at 1200 points in a kingdom. Beating the game only requires 51 medals; an average of 3 per kingdom. But a Platinum is 4.

This kingdom needs more work. I have too many bananas. But I do not want to work on it right now, so I'm saving it for my second run-through of the game. All of the adjustments are very small anyways. So that's why the minigame is lower-scoring. Link to video And now. Onward.

It's actually 25 damage in the heart, 5 damage for hits. This boss does not detonate when all pineapples are in his heart, so it's better to toss the last one right when he's sucking it in so that the next timer starts immediately.

I'm glad. It can still be a bit goofier though, I'm sure. :) All the best stuff is ahead, so hopefully we'll just keep on track to the end!

Link to video Sorry the boss is boring right now. I'll be sprucing him up in my cleanup run of the whole TAS! He's not like the first two Tusks where getting all the pineapples in the heart causes him to blow up immediately. For some reason you have to wait for the normal timer on them to expire. It sucks.

Here's the next kingdom! Link to video I would have done it sooner, but Path of Exile. EDIT: Improved the boss by 46 frames. No new video, though.

They return to their original positions after a while. That's why I clipped through the wall into the middle of them.

Well I grab either the ones I can't hit in the clap-grab, or collide with the ones that clap-grabbing early for reduces the score. You get more points the more you get in one grab, so some of them are worth just bumping into to collect instead of grabbing too early and splitting your one big grab into two much lesser ones.

So, I've encountered the first final boss fight of this TAS. Perhaps even the hardest. ELEVEN BATS. Optimizing ELEVEN BATS at the beginning of Primeval Ruins was taking so much time and effort that I've shelved it for now. Getting as much of ELEVEN BATS as possible is so crucial that getting all of them at once could be worth 594 points before counting combos, but missing one of them drops that score by 99 bananas. I will be getting this one on my second run through the game where I polish everything up since I should have more experience in TAS and knowledge about some more obscure/glitchy game functions. So for now, here's what the any% run would look like for this kingdom! Enjoy. Link to video

Thanks for all your support, guys! March has been a very busy month for me off the computer so I haven't had much time to work on this. But I hope to be back at a good speed in April. I really appreciate the kind words; it makes me excited to get back on top of things! <3

I'd like to do a bonus high score TAS for the combo-craziest level in the game someday so I'd be happy to show that. :) Thanks for your support!
