Far more than a week later, I'm back for a bit. I redid upto 1-4. I managed to save 12 frames, 10 of which I lost to lag between levels, 1 of which I lost to lag in 1-4. So I'm one frame faster, but also one time unit faster. The randomness seems to be based on the time units alone. Bleh. I also found a neat hammer glitch in 1-3. I was able to do it without losing time. Anyway, it's probably too little too late to hold anyone's attention, but whatever, I'm mostly doing this for me. http://www.nerdparadise.com/crap/Omni/DonkeyKong-Omni.vbm And if you still want to see the old one http://www.nerdparadise.com/crap/Omni/DonkeyKong-Omni-old.vbm

I lost a time unit on both 1-5 and 1-7 to bad timer. But I gained frames in each and I saved 2 timeunits in 1-6, most of the gain in 1-6 is from a ladder glitch, and the rest from a slightly different tile layout. I gained I can't recall how many in 1-5 (about 25). 52 in 1-6. Lost some in the transistion, gained 11 in 1-7. Gained from frames in the transistion. And gained 2 frames in 1-8. With some tweaking I might be able to increase that gain to 3 or 4, but it would require doing 2/3 of the level again, and I'm a tired, lazy bastard and going to bed. http://www.nerdparadise.com/crap/Omni/DonkeyKong-Omni.vbm And I haven't touched the old one.

Saved quite a bit on 2-2, and the odd frame here and there otherwise. http://www.nerdparadise.com/crap/Omni/DonkeyKong-Omni.vbm The old one is still there if you'd like to compare. Though it looks really slow now.

Almost back to where I was. Nearly 2 seconds worth of improvements here in the last 4 stages. The old one has been taken down because the version I had was only to 2-8 anyway. I overwrote it to try the glitch. http://www.nerdparadise.com/crap/Omni/DonkeyKong-Omni.vbm 269 frames faster than the old version at the end of 2-8. If anyone wants it I'll put together a save file zip.

I'm just posting to let you know that I cannot WAIT to see this when it's finished. Also so you're not the only person to have posted in this thread in the past month. :)

Well, I was feeling, umm... not as slow today, so I did 8 levels instead. Enjoy. http://www.nerdparadise.com/crap/Omni/DonkeyKong-Omni.vbm

It looks great so far. That trick in 2-8, do you think there are other levels where you can do something like that?

Yes, I can do it in both 25m and 75m (though it's nigh impossble to do in 75m). However, in both cases it's slower. I can't do it in 1-4 because of the height, but if I could find a way to walljump a handstand I'd be able to make it. I can't in 2-4 because the ground underneath is solid.

Wow, nice work on 3-6, 7 and 8. This is turning out quite nicely so far. :) However, 3-4 is bugging me. It's the slowest level so far, and the waiting for DK to flip the switch looks really bad. I don't know if anything can be done, but I can't help but wonder if there isn't a faster way to do that level. :/ Other than that though, I'm lovin' it.

Yeah, but not much I can do. I haven't discovered a way to glitch through walls without some sort of help yet. And the only way to manipulate luck I know of is based on the timeunits of previous stages. Anyway, here's the next update:

And another, I do intend on redoing the Kong fight though. Had a bad bit of mushroom luck at the end.

Not much in the way of pointers, it looks good. And you're about half-way there, give or take. I'm looking forward to the rest of it. I wouldn't take the lack of posts in the topic by others discouraging, as the saying goes 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it', there doesn't seem to be many mistakes in the movie to point out, and you can only post 'Looks good!' so many times ;)

Yeah, but 4-9 in specific is bugging me, anyone know an alternate path?

Well, for one thing, it's possible to backflip onto the second rope from the left at the very beginning, which'll save a number of timeunits unless there are timing conflicts later on higher up in the level... edit: Nope, it actually works out rather well. Managed to get 212 my first run through, and that's not even close to optimized.

Me like:), but in the Jungle lvls wouldnt it be faster not to drop the fruits that kills the enemies?

He's going for timeunits and not actual time, so the killing of enemies doesn't add to the time in term of timeunits. At least I think that's the reason behind it. It's hard to say which approach is better.

Yeah, I'm going for timeunits. Plus it looks cool to drop a nut that kills three enemies. But I'm going for timeunits first, actual time second.
