This topic is for the purpose of discussing #5805: Meerkov's SNES Adventures of Yogi Bear in 22:41.59

Just what I needed in the morning, yogi's face heading straight twoards me. The run seems decently paced and looks well optimized. Yes vote!

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the collectible choices. So the main collectible is ... pocketwatches? Where are -- oh, okay, so there are picnic baskets. But they're platforms? Which only register as "collected" when you jump on them? Special note to the game developers: If you don't know who Yogi Bear is, just say so. There's no shame in it, really.

Yeah the collectibles are pocket watches because... Pocket watches are a type of clock-> and some clocks have alarms->you use alarms to wake up->you wake up from sleeping->which is like hibernation->a thing bears do? That's my best guess. And yeah, picnic baskets are temporary platforms. After jumping on them, they disappear after a second. They don't heal you, and like everything else in the game, the collision is a bit wonky. The final collectible just reacts when you touch it and changes the graphic. I don't really understand what the devs were thinking.

I wanted to see a TAS of this game. So glad this is made. I tried my hand at this game some times ago. If I recall correctly, if you jump, you keep the velocity? I see you gliding without jumping. Did you happen to test that jumping keep your velocity, especially if you had a higher speed? Note that it was a while ago, I may be wrong.

@Niamek: So from the way I understand it, each movement type/state has an "target speed". Hills max at 5px, normal walk is 4px, and "freefalling/jumping" is also 4px. You maintain velocity when switching between movement types, but will start decelerating or accelerating towards the target speed. For example, when you jump off of a Beaver/Minecart, your velocity is very fast at 7px. But in the air you slow down back to 4px as the jump continues, or if you land on the ground, you'll maintain whatever velocity as you slow down to the target speed. The same is true for hills. You do have 5px for a bit, but you decelerate back to 4px pretty fast, and it's no different if you jump on the last frame of the hill, or if you just walk and decelerate on the ground instead. This is why when you jump near the top of the water, you can accelerate up to 4px/frame. If you go under the water, the target speed is 2px/frame, so you quickly lose speed (but not instantly). Hopping at the surface lets you be in the "jumping/freefalling" state instead of the "swimming/falling" state.

I found this movie to be very boring. No vote. There are literally no tricks, nothing interesting happening on there. Also, it doesn't help that the game itself is very plain.

There are literally no tricks

I can't really argue with you, but I will point out that beating the game without taking damage is already a trick by itself in this game. The hit boxes are really bad. :) heh.
