Someone on nicovideo started doing TASes of this game. From what I can tell, it's a testrun aiming for maximum beat in each level (not speed).

It's a shame about all the walking back and forth long distances this game requires to beat it, because the glitches and skips make me giddy and the playarounds to pass time amused me. Yes vote :)
AFAIK the answer is that frequency of violet light is twice that of the lower ranges of red light, ie. it's one octave higher. Violet light does trigger the red receptors as well due to this, and that's why we see it as violet.
If true, this is really interesting! Do you have a source?
Some slight mistakes but nothing big. It definitely shows the route off so no complaints here.
I know it is probably against TAS rules or something to leave a game unfinished with inputs but this game would be sub 1 hour (judging by the video it would be a low 59:xx) if you simply stopped input after skipping the ending codec since the "chained to fate" scene needs no input from the user to progress anyway.
You're allowed to end input if doing nothing will still result in the game progressing to its finished state (e.g. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, where a shot is fired from the medusa shield then input ends and the final boss dies to the homing bullets)
Please please please make a full game run out of this. This game has so many entertaining glitches and to see a video like this an hour long would be amazing. :)
I'd even be satisfied by a glitchfest that beats the game via the any% route.
This statement is incorrect as white and black aren't colours.
Depends on your definition of "color". Technically speaking white is a color.
1) Black and white lack hue and saturation, which are defining aspects of a colour.
2) We refer to colour-blindness as the inability to see colours. But colour-blind people can perceive black and white fine, therefore they cannot be colours.
3) No one, artist or layman, has ever referred to a monochrome picture or painting as 'colourful'.
trolololol
I wonder how many iterations it would take for score/lives/position to sync up such that the exact memory state of the game was identical to a previous one. Once you can show this, you know it will go on forever.
It also has to be at the exact same frame in the loop, but yes.
I think to be accepted it would have to be a glitch fest that also beats the game (ala the link's adventure glitchfest). SMW is probably the best game you can make a glitchfest video for, due to the endless amount of abuses known in its engine.
one of my twitch viewer found an VERY huge game breaking glitch , i will give information later one.
Trying it here.

Video of the undercave double glitch here (the dafuq skip + sonar map exit). with button input (it may help a lot)
Acctualy this is very very timming based , you must stand still (no mouvement at all) then press down and sightly after or nearly at the same time press B , this will make the camera mess up. Then press up , then again Down +B ect , i repeate this is extremly tought to do.
The pteranodon pond is also fully skipable, the glitch is almost the same but is harder to do , once i will knew the timming i will post a video with button input.

edit : did the "tas" ridge water skip at the end , its possible on real condition.
Video of it , the input may help for the timming , Mashing B like i do is a wrong idea but is cause of the timming , but i don't know what do do at the end , but this one doens't wroth the risk . The most interesting is the pterandond skip but i can't do it yet (basicaly , is the same but horizontaly, and visual clue is almost unexistant).

Newpants made a janky TAS and found the clip is possible in every stage except for two.
RIP Ecco.

Isn't the problem with hourglass and java games is that it's implicitly multithreaded due to garbage collection/finalizers? I think starting up the java virtual machine is hard to keep sync-friendly, too (due to things like JIT, class loaders, static initialization...)
