Err, not the flying fortress but the place with King Tycoon... I don't know the quickest route to trigger all his appearances and let me continue into Catapult.
Ah =/ Sorry, I missunderstood it. But hmm, now I remember a part where you have to chase the king, was it that part you were refering too? I think he appears at fixed places so you only need to find where he goes too and then chase after him a few times. Eventually you will catch him (or whatever happens, I don't remember this part that good).

I would actually love to see this game done. I also own it on console and I played it pretty much when I was younger. The game itself is pretty hard and stupid sometimes, but in a TAS I think it would be cool to see the puzzles being solved as fast as possible.
I also guess that it is possible to build stairs with blocks in a whole new way with slowdown. Maybe 2-3 blocks is enough to build a very long stair for the mice? On console you pretty much need every block you can find but now you might not.

I play a lot but at the European server so I don't know if that will help? But we can try sometime maybe? Right now I'm not home and with no WC3 but when I return in a few weeks we can try if you want. My account is: O-WalkerBoh
This is my account-site at Blizzards homepage:

Now I only play TFT but the black dragon is the best icon ;)

That really was awesome! I thought the movie ended at the extra stage but it turned out to be just awesome!! I never knew you could use bats like that. The second bonus stage, is it a pure bonus stage? Like a mini-game or something? I've forget about those totally.

So you are working on a full run now? Huzzah!!! I know it can be a pain to TAS sometimes but I don't think everyone will pick on a possible frame saved here or there. Or maybe that's just me. Awesome none the less and I wish you good luck! The any %-movie was fantastic!

The problem I, and I assume the others are having, is the servers that you have to click on to actually download the file are, very literally, not there.
They aren't listed at all. Not just full, but literally missing. It's a problem file planet seems to have ALL to time. Making it one of the most annoying sites i know of.
Exactly! The "Subscribers only" link is there but that's no good since I don't want to pay anything.

I just had an exciting session of dota again. Actually it was several dota games with insane heroes in the opposite team. This gave me an idea though.
When you reach level 20+ it's not fun to die every other minute since the waiting time is 60+ seconds. On top of that you also lose your money.
Tonight I learned that it's possible to buy the hero back if one is rich enough (which will never happen if you every now and then).
This gave me an idea of buying time instead of not having afford to buy the whole hero at once. Say that one could reduce the waiting time by maybe 3 seconds for 100 gold. This can't be that hard to make, right?
Ok, I haven't made any custom maps because I don't understand it all but just to click that much you can afford can't be that hard? It's possible in maps like Poker TD. Oh well, I don't know if you talk to the dota-makers Xebra but I thought it was a good idea ;) And I still don't want to be a member at their forum.

I couldn't find the file at fileplanet. The only thing I found was "Subscribers only". Ok, it might be a good site but if I'm paying to visit a site there are others (such as this one for example) that I would pay for.

I've read that they gave Mario (and Luigi later) a mustasch because the NES wasn't that good at details. The mustasch were big enough to cover his mouth that wouldn't have been visible else. Also they gave him white gloves so his hands would be more visible (instead of fingers which I assume wouldn't have been visible at all).

I just tried it and found it utterly boring. Sorry. Maybe it was because I didn't really figured out what I was doing and also I didn't know the answer to the one or maybe two question that popped up. Anyhows, I wouldn't do this game as a TAS, but that's up to you.

I just realized something. Mustn't Yoshi's have very easy to reproduce? I mean, they eat pretty much anything, and from that comes an egg! On top of that they can choose what color their baby will be by throwing the egg (the harder the better? ;P) in a wall and then lick it up again.
Now, if someone (adult Mario from SMW) comes walking, the eggs will hatch immideatly and tada! a baby-Yoshi. All this little critter needs to do now is to eat a few whatever and there is a grown up dinosaur!
I wonder how many Yoshis there will be before they doom thereself by starving to death..

I actually liked that some dialogs were slow and readable.
Naturally, this was only done for dialogs where there was no other choice but to wait.
I figured this, but I still liked it because else I would have no idea of what was going on with the switching between the armed guy and the none armed (old and young hero I guess?). Also it looks like a pretty funny game. Sort of Zelda and Lagoon in a mix.

Red coins are actually good, but this was an any % run, right? The red coins is with the flowers (5 per stage) and stars (maybe 20 per stage?) sort of like the exits in SMW. I guess the red coins adds up at the end of the stages here and thus costs a few frames.

I'm not sure why everyone is so excited of this movie.
It's a great game ;)
I'd love to vote yes just because the time seems to be insane but I haven't watched it yet. Awesome that this is finally done though!

I got it down from FilePlanet and wow! this is one great run! I don't know how much I've played this game but some things were just awesome. Like jumping high while in wolf-form and also I don't think I've ever tried that shield rod-combination you did to beat all the bosses in no time ;)
Fantastic.

This is a run I would love to see. I tried to register at the first link you had there (combosomething.com) but I only found that I had to pay to download stuffs? I havne't checked fileplanet (the other link, I think it was fileplanet) yet but are there any other sites that hosts this awesome run?
