Maybe this will help you. https://themushroomkingdom.net/mlss_j2e.shtml Every item exists in every version. But some are not obtainable on one or the other (JP or US/EU).
Seriously, rejected.
To celebrate the 12th anniversary of Mega Man 9, my next project is to play along with these TAS's using a different tool this time... Link to video
Hmm. Sounds like I was a bit hasty with my assumptions---and unobservant, after a second watch I see many points where a stage is selectable in the older run that isn't on the newer, indicating that a different path was indeed taken. I apologize for that. The old run is purely for comparing each stage. One area I can see a comparison for where the old run did many more stages is W4. The Head Smash Helmet is obtained in E2, which is never even played in the new run. It makes it feel very strange to even show a comparison if there really isn't any. E6 however still seems weirdly done as neither lifts the frog up via that power-up. New run: The Pneumos/Jellybobs (the jellyfish thing that inflates Wario when it stings) stings Wario in the right area of the stage so that Wario floats to the top and gets the Silver/Gray Key. Old run: Wario bashes into the wall to jump up again, gets the Silver/Grey Key, and then proceeds as normal. Is a power-up needed to do that wall jump in the old run? It's the more powerful bash, do you need to ricochet off the wall to do that specific jump?
First post here. Long time lurker. Very long time. Anyway... I know ISMin's run was mentioned above but here it is in case anyone wants to see it again since it was (formerly, anyway) nicovideo-only: Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXRG9oi-as8 Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LPSL20INnM It's obviously far better than an RTA but the optimization is really, really poor. I didn't calculate offhand but I think the run on the right (which is what he's comparing his run to?) is actually faster because there's simply too many points where ISMin's run is dawdling or glitching pointlessly. E6 is a great example in Part 2, but there's many others. However, it seems to have a lot of commentary if anyone here can read Japanese? I saw a user here named Fortranm had a WIP earlier in the thread but it doesn't seem to have gotten (much?) past that point. Wario Land 3 is such an amazing game and it's the only Wario Land game to not feature a TAS here. :( I wish there was something I could contribute to a possible run but I'm really not good at TASing, especially action games like this, and I'm not particularly skilled with programming either so glitch finding or .lua scripting would be out. I could find videos of other TASes like the above ISMin one but I don't think that's a rare skillset, haha.
Hello. I am a newcomer. SMB1 is my favorite game to play and I wanted to contribute in finding quirks and time saves in it. Independently discovering cheat $05F5 : C2 and being unable to explain the insanity that it is made me join tasvideos.org. Please help me learn more about this game. Also, how can I share movie files with others in the forum?
Here is the finished TAS with commentary, forgot to post it on here after it was uploaded sorry. Doodarino is going to re-upload it to his yt channel once he's happy with the quality so there isn't a non-commentated version uploaded publicly. Link to video
Since I've posted the World 1 WIP, I've improved a few notable parts : Tricking the camera in 1-3 to make the tap-tap cutscene faster : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcdoaTVPSGk Using a trick with Baby Peach to lick eggs back instantly in 1-7 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwW8Eb5lrrs Also, I've finished world 2 now. Here is the WIP : Link to video
I already said this in a chat, but I'll repeat it here just for reference: Of course I agree this glitchfest is entertaining so far (seriously, watch it, it has some neat ideas). However, especially this run will get repetitive really fast. Almost every level starts with the usual combination of Yoshi, Feather, and Flower. This is obviously the setup that allows for the most glitches (or rather, the most glitchy ones), which probably allows for the most effective glitchfest. But here's the point, the author intends to continue to do all 96 exits. Considering the pace is pretty slow (spending 3 minutes only in the first level), we're looking at a 2.5-3 hour movie. It's very hard (maybe impossible) to keep up the entertainment like this while avoiding repetition. (This wouldn't really be a problem if he decides to quickly proceed to Bowser and end it at around the 1 hour mark) However, there is another way to approach this problem. Instead of focusing on a glitchfest, focus on a playaround. By changing up the challenge in each level, you could create a long movie which stays entertaining, and also shows off interesting things no other run can show off. My personal ideas are:There are definitely other things you can do instead of using the stun glitch in every level and create glitchy sprites, and it would be a shame if those wouldn't be shown off.
- Try an entertaining playaround in the level while staying Small Mario.
- Get all the items and coins.
- Try beating the level without jumping.
Here is how the flagpole glitch works: Link to video NOTE: It ends at 0:31 when the flagpole glitch happens.
