Well, if all minigames were made, that would make for a 100% run...
Sorry for the late post, but the game doesn't care if the minigame's been skipped. It still acts as if you did it legit. :P
Proof:
The pinball machine at "Spike's" castle is a minigame, but even if you entered it and immediately ended it, the game still shows the jewel as if you didn't skip it.
Someone please find the position and speed addresses, Dolphins Cheats Manager is the only way I know how and it sucks <_<
Edit: both these sets seem to work, but I can't manually set SpongeBobs position with them, so they aren't really any help to me <_<
003d78fc X/Z Position
003d7900 Vertical Position
003d7904 X/Z Position
003d79e4 X/Z Position
003d79e8 Vertical Position
003d79ec X/Z Position
Hope this helps. Also, nice that you found his position addresses (sorta). I was never able to find them. :/
Just making this post to confirm that there is a new 0 star TAS in the works. We have found an improvement, so our time will be less than 5:01.95 (snark & ToT's TAS).

This is amazing! What's the estimated final time?
Looks like one of the ponies in one of the old (90's) MLP computer games my sister used to play. What did you use to make that?
I used GIMP to splice a picture of the a Zebstrika's face to that of a G4 Pinkie Pie, cut the result and paste it onto Paint, used the curve tool (in red) to make a (rough) outline before pasting it back to GIMP to delete everything but the outline and finally color it.
In other words, GIMP and Paint.
I tried TASing this for the opening of Season 3, but not-Scootaloo's scooter had an invisible pixel that completely threw me off. I gave up after that.
Ten and a half minutes seems awfully quick. I was expecting Starsong's dance to take up more time.
Will watch later.
The hardest minigames for me to TAS was Sweetie Belle's. :P
Also, it would've been longer if I had to open the presents to view the credits, but luckily, I didn't have to.
But the minigames were what made my run halfway interesting! Eliminate them, and there's next to nothing going on!
But then it would not be the "fastest time". According to your submission, people found this boring. So if I included the minigames, it would be judged as a moon submission, and get rejected. Sorry.

This doesn't do any of the minigames except for one (which was faster to complete than to skip) because given the other run's reception, it'll go to the vault, which is speed-oriented, and therefore it would not make sense to complete the optional minigames.
I also think a glitchless run is pointless in the GBA version of this game and just shows laziness, because it has a lot less glitches compared to the SNES version.
X-Men 2 had also several addresses representing positions in some levels, but I figured out COMMON addresses which worked for all rooms too.
Thanks, but I figured since each room is so short, might as well follow the path from this run, then compare it to my path and yea.
Chapter 1
Skips all minigames except the 2nd one, which is faster to complete than to skip.
HELLO YES THIS IS RARITYFRIENDGIC IS MASHIP
Ok, Christmas is over, and I finally got time to TAS this. All I can say is that it's actually more annoying than I thought it would be, since I discovered that there's corner boosting in this game. That, and lag seemingly disappears without reason just by doing something at a different frame.
Oh, and just like Monster House, the address for character's position changes every room. 0_o
Uh...I got no idea where to post this, so I'm going to post it here. Why is this ok to have as a separate run of the Snes version, while Resident Evil for the PSX obsoleted the NDS version? Shouldn't they be separate now?
So why exactly was it that bronies were collectively despised all over the internet again?
Because people take things too seriously and can't handle a joke. That and they cherrypick these quotes and use them to make an unfair assumption that all bronies are zoophiles.
Looks ugly, but at least I tried.
UMADBRAH?

I have no shame.
