Hi! This might have been covered already, or there might be a really obvious reason that I'm missing, but: After accepting "Find the survivors" (Lurerre mission), why does the tas go left through B-2 -> B-1 to get to B-3, instead of teleporting to A-2 and go right+up into B-1 -> B-3, which seems a lot faster? Sorry if it's a dumb question :/

IIRC they're different in text but there's also more subtle things, like the J version allows you to charge your wand faster and stuff like that. It's not quite a 1:1 comparison. If you do due process and show exactly what improvements are from the version change and what are from better play, there shouldn't be a problem when it comes to submission.
I'm pretty sure the wand charging faster is a myth. I've noticed no gameplay differences except one: The second nightmare boss has a different pattern on the japanese version. This may or may not be faster, but that's probably not a good enough reason to switch versions, so I'll stick with the english one... If I want to try this at all, that is :)

Ok.. so say I wanted to do this properly. Would it be ok to do it on the japanese version (since that one is the fastest)? Or is english preferred?

I tried everything in real time and got the following: http://imgur.com/lVtFnIR.jpg but it didn't work :( Do I need to get into the pipe first attempt or something?

So there are zips... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhYs0btSIlg http://imgur.com/a/fZ77a Haven't found any use for them yet though (in real time). You guys might figure something out?

Hi again! I'm posting partially as a bit of an update, incase anyone was wondering if I ever did an actual run. My current best RTA time is 26:04 23:50 (japanese version), which afaik currently is the fastest RTA in existence. Much thanks to stealing some tricks from Randil's TAS. It could still improve it by quite a bit, as there are a lot of execution mistakes in it. But the main problem I have is still the penguin boss :( ..which is the second reason I'm posting... I found the memory position of the boss's HP (I'm a complete newbie at using emulators to anything other than playing, so it took a while), so I can look and see when I actually damage him. The strange thing with this boss, however, seems to be that sometimes my shots just.. misses.. even though I'm actually hitting him, in the head, as instructed by Randil's response. Someone has to have noticed this while doing a TAS for this game and why it is? It's killing me that I can't figure it out :P Thanks again! EDIT: Ok, so we figured out how it works :) Here's my post explaining it, in case anyone is interested.

Wow, thanks a lot! :) I figured you did more damage to him when you hit his head, but I didn't think you did 0 if you hit him in the belly. Regarding the zip glitch; yeah, it almost sound to good to be true. The only thing I've found that can be related to this, is that if you climb into a corner as high as you can with the lizard (as the post said) and you switch back to Nemo - he will zip about a "Nemo-length" to the left. But this isn't very useful :P It also works with the frog if you jump into a ceiling and switch to Nemo at the highest point. I have read your submission comment very carefully. But a lot of the big or seemingly easier time savers doesn't seem to work in real time. Like going under the boat in stage 4, grabbing the first key with the frog and skipping the lizard in the basement in stage 5. But some of them works and saves a lot of time. Like skipping the frog and keeping the lizard in stage 8-2 (I love that one! :D) Thanks again for the help!

Yay! :) So basically, I'm working on an RTA for this game, trying to at least improve the run on SDA. I have two main questions: 1. How the ... does the penguin boss work? He seems to take between 5-8 shots to kill, at random, no matter where I aim. Perhaps I'm missing something obvious. 2. Supposedly, there is a zip glitch in the game, which isn't in any TAS. Post here: http://goo.gl/J3o3n. Any idea? This is driving me crazy. Also I wont say no to other general tips&trix that might be useful in an RTA. :) EDIT: And yes, I've been trying to contact the poster on SDA a few weeks ago. So far no answer.
