Check out the links on just this page: Brody's speedrun, the Game Resources page for this game, and the routes for Jellyfish Fields and Downtown Bikini Bottom are a great start to learning what can be done with this game.

Yeah, I think you're right. But like I said, everyone would probably have to agree. If we went that route, we could just replace the submission file and add the rest of the authors.
EDIT: Thanks, feos!

Probably the final movie would need to be marked as a co-authorship of you all.
I think the standard way to do it is to put the name of everyone in the submission text. We could make this a co-authorship (I'm all for that), but everyone would have to agree to it (and I don't think MUGG wants to be a coauthor if it'll be published on this site).
By the way, how do you people measure subpixels and lag? FCEUX's lag counter doesn't seem to work, and I've never worked with subpixels.

That's right, Spikestuff called "suboptimal" before anyone else.
And I know it doesn't matter which ROM version it was made on, but I went ahead and made a version of MUGG's improvement on PRG0 that also ends on the frame with the Start button press, just to make things easier.

Ah, I see. I agree that you should take your time and make a resync workflow that can turn out better encodes for all of these runs. Best of luck in getting it done!

I haven't played the game, but I really liked this run. It definitely looked optimized, there were some neat little tricks, and it was nice and relaxing to watch (like the recent Braid TAS). Yes vote.

This is definitely a run fit for the Vault. No vote.
So since a run completing a certain game mode has already been published in the Vault, setting the precedent as Tanooki Teabag said, what's stopping this run from being published too? It's not the encoding of the run that's been delaying it for almost three months, is it?

Saved another frame over TASeditor's movie.
I'm impressed with the ingenious improvements you all found. To think I was trying improve this for hours last night but didn't find anything like this. :P

Oh, okay. Thanks for your comment!

Still think it can be improved.
I hate myself.
Don't. This is a good thing. The new run looks a lot better than my old one, and won't be obsoleted as quickly.

I'm not sure if it's been posted on here before or not, but you can skip sandy without the saving glitch. it's a very hard trick, I'd TAS only, but really it can be done non-TAS. Pretty much what you do is disable the hand, then go behind the Jellyfish Fields taxi thing, then you can fall through the ground and fall under the invisible wall that the old method for skipping Sandy had to walk around, if you a really well timed bubble wand then jump, its possible to grab onto some random polygon on the other side of the wall and pull yourself up, and since the random polygons don't count as the "out of bounds sand" the hand wont grab you if you do it fast enough. (because as you all know, the disable hand glitch doesn't disable "out of bounds sand")
Wow! I don't think I've seen that in this thread before, but that would save a lot of time. Thanks for sharing that!

Uh, you mean like this?
Also, I don't think this thread belongs here. The BizHawk or SNES Emulators subforums would be a much better place for this thread.

Here is a better version of the verification movie. It runs up to the credits and then resets.
Of course, our movie will be starting from a Reset with SRAM. The reset I put in just saves the viewers (and judge) time.

I went ahead and added all of Patashu's (very good) suggestions, the two suggestions from the best rejected movies thread that had at least two people suggest them, and encodes to all of the runs that had an encode anywhere on the Internet (a few still don't).
If anyone else wants to help by adding movies to the page, go ahead. These are all the movies I can think of that would go here though (except maybe the Sonic 2 "Perfect Bonus" movie, but that's open to discussion).
