I've claimed for a while that this is the only TASable Lynx game that has a mild chance of being entertaining.
Here's a test WIP I did.
Link to video
It's not extraordinarily optimized, more of a quick-and-dirty thing that I did in around twenty minutes, but you get the drift. Here are some minor things to know.
1. You need to be small to perform the warps. You also can't throw items which is why I have to trickily dodge stuff.
2. If you're wondering I throw some of the missed shots because you're granted temporary invincibility for a few frames while throwing them.
If you're wondering, the two warps I do mean the only full worlds we have to play are the 5-level Ice world and the very short final Castle world.
Feel free to ask questions if I wasn't clear about anything. I'll probably do a full optimized TAS after I'm done with DTC5.

I like the vault. My favorite types of TASes are for those stupid cookie-cutter games and the Vault allows those games to be published. I do support a rename/reworking though. The current form is kind of like a "stamp of shame".

ok so I'm just cruisin' through threads and it appears a ton of Imageshack avatar images are now gone, being replaced with "click here and discover imageshack" images that are over the size limit and look like shit. also, more importantly, they BOTHER me
what do we do?!

Quite tubular. I'm glad you improved this because I don't much care for TASing anymore. I started an old run too, but it kinda went nowhere because my TAS SPARK ain't there no more. Who knows when it will come back? We will NEVER know. But when it does I will be looking at this game again ;)
Voted yes.

I voted yes. I like TASes these kinds of generic platformers. I do think there were some moments you could make more entertaining (the bonus stage had a lot of standing around), but it didn't break the run.
