If we were to TAS Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble, we're stuck with VBA until motion control is implemented in BizHawk. Wario Ware Twisted was TASed with a control hack, but is TASable with motion control on BizHawk.

Yeah, the US N64 is the fastest, hands down. We're still waiting for a 3DS emulator with TAS capabilities.

If we're to do a TAS of the Japanese version, better do the one on the GameCube, although resetting on GameCube takes a lot longer than the N64, but the Flying Zora glitch makes up for it. Not resetting is slower than resetting on the N64, but faster than resetting on the GameCube. West Clock Town at night lags on the GameCube version for some reason. We can't simply hack the game by using cheats of debugging features, 'cause that's breaking the rules.

I would like to see a 4K encode of a complete 100% TAS of this game.

Link to video Changes in pony hack includes some tweaks and bugfixes, so the vanish/doom trick no longer works. Also, longer dialogue, and bosses are tougher.

Have you ever watched ScrewAttack's Death Battle? You should check out Starscream vs Rainbow Dash. You won't be disappointed. A little pony taking on a giant robot? How awesome can it be?

Even all the SFM Ponies videos created through Garry's Mod and Source Filmmaker. Possibly do recreations of Game Grumps videos done in SFM with Ponies. "Could you please direct me to the closest Cillerenda Castle that you have?" Also, the new Pony toyline called Guardians of Harmony will break the gender barrier once and for all. Speaking of fangames, remember Super Lesbian Horse RPG? I read that it's getting a dolled-up installment. Replacing ponies with original characters and improvements. Similarly what happened to Fighting is Magic.

This is the shortest TAS ever to be submitted. Talk about a record performance that can never be broken.

If this gets published, then it'll be shortest published TAS ever!

Against Giovanni's Persian in round 2, Aerodactyl's speed matches, which means luck manipulating speed ties.

I used to TAS the Pika Cup, but with a sub-optimal team. A "Pika Cup Round 2 Starmie Only" TAS with having a Starmie with maxed out speed and special with Psychic, Surf, Blizzard and Thunder will OHKO the competition on the Pika Cup.

For a Master Quest TAS do you use BizHawk or Dolphin? And did you use the ROM ripped from the ISO image or did you use the ISO image itself as a whole? N64 allows for shorter load times and lower death count. GCN has longer load times and dying is faster than resetting when necessary. Note: The longer load times is only used after selecting the game in the game select screen.

This reminds me back when I used NESticle to mess with the color palettes and tiles, but there wasn't an ability to save palettes. We could create palettes based off of other emulators and clone systems. Also we could recreate the NEStopia Boosted Yellow palette, Also Famtasia, FCE Ultra, RockNES, GNES, JNES, and VirtuaNES palettes.

It's possible to do sub 44 min. I would improve stage 2 if I were you. Major luck manipulation. Stage 1 is the most optimal. 30 fps movement because of limitations of the gameboy.

There are some strange connections between the MLP franchise as a whole and other media. A fine example that Tabitha St. Germain, the voice of Rarity, Luna, Granny Smith, Mrs. Cake, Derpy, and many others voiced Wendy O. "Kootie Pie" Koopa from Super Mario World. Tara Strong, the voice of Twilight Sparkle also voiced Lemmy "Hip" Koopa and Iggy "Hop" Koopa. Also, Tracey Moore, who voiced a G3 Unicorn named Cheerilee was also the voice of Princess Toadstool. Cool, huh?

I know that Time Trial can have sub-optimal times on some courses compared to Grand Prix. I know using certain shortcuts on some courses display the message "Race data cannot be saved for ghost" which means you can't view replay either. I used GameShark codes to hack the game and probably set up for 2-Player Time Trial, but you can't save ghost and don't start with a triple mushroom. Hacking 3 or 4 player mode for Grand Prix and Time Trial don't display the time. I bet somebody would make a lua script for VS mode, displaying the times for each player. 3- or 4-Player Grand Prix also has glitchy graphics for 5th to 8th place. Hacking VS mode for 1-player, it's best to select 4-Player Game and use GameShark codes for AI function and 1-Player Game screen setup, the invincibility theme and the final lap jingle overlaps with the background music and it doesn't speed up. Don't do it with Battle mode however as the AI wasn't programmed in that mode. Sometimes sub-optimal times in some courses are the only to save ghosts. Shortcuts that don't allow you to save ghosts in the following courses: - Kalimari Desert - Toad's Turnpike - Frappe Snowland - Royal Raceway - Yoshi Valley - Rainbow Road You know what would be hilarious? If someone does a 2-Player VS TAS on Bowser's Castle? It'll net the fastest time on any mode. Maybe a 3-Player VS TAS on Royal Raceway.

Doing a 2-player Campaign mode TAS on Hard mode and use password WRDRB to play the secret boat level towards the end of the game.

I wonder if we use the disk version and we use random passwords that give max level 30 and 65,535 exp. Maybe if we could use save corruption in the cartridge version to skip the battle with the Dragonlord.

When it comes to cartoons, there's more than meets the eye. I had a brother who was a fan of the Transformers. About cartoons I watched. I remember watching Dexter's Laboratory and The Powerpuff Girls. Those were good times. Currently, I am a fan of a certain show about horses. I also have a liking to the Littlest Pet Shop. Well, that show was too good to last, giving that season 4 is its last. What a shame...

I remember seeing a video of a hack with Pikachu in it. There's also Fluttershy in Sonic 2, as well as Sonic 3 & Rainbow Dash. Recently, there's a new hack called Somari the Adventurer, which is based off of Mario. The title shares its name with a Famicom Bootleg. It won't be very long to see Russell Ferguson from Littlest Pet Shop to be in a Sonic Hack. Sonic Classic Heroes 3-Player TAS FTW!

I remember playing this game when I was younger, although I played a hack of it called "Pocket Monsters GO GO GO" which replaced the characters into Pokemon, changed the opening dialogue, reworked the graphics, slowed down most areas, and made it backwards compatible with the original Game Boy. This game is not backwards compatible with the original Game Boy despite it being a color enhanced version of Smurfs 3.
