Monopoly for the NES is a game based off the board game Monopoly. This movie aims to go to jail in Monopoly in the fastest way possible.

Description

  • Emulator used: FCEUX 2.2.3
  • Game region: USA
Only one character needs to be controlled during the duration of this movie. The game does not reset during the movie, as it has no reason to. The only aim is to get to jail as fast as possible. I think this movie would be interesting for people to watch to see how quickly this can actually be done.

Game objectives

  • To get the fastest jail.

Comments

This Tool Assisted Speedrun was created for two reasons. One was to see how fast this could be done, and the other was to test FCEUX's built in TAS editor. This run uses a couple of basic strategies.

Strats

Luck Manipulation

This movie heavily uses luck manipulation as a way to roll consistent doubles.

Name selection

This isn't a very interesting strat, but it is used to maximise optimization. The name "A" takes 4 inputs to select, as does the name "G". Most other names, if not all other names, will take 5 or more frames to input.

Other Comments

Length

The movie is shorter than shown. A few extra frames were played at the end of the movie, so if that needs to be fixed in the movie, can you please request that?

Trimmed to final A press for the humor aspect of this. 52213724312640515 Side Note: April Fools is in 92 days. And improved by 10 frames from that trim. Anyways. Welcome to TASVideos, F4LLOU7! Here at TASVideos we want movies that aim for perfection. While at a very brief glance this movie appears ok, upon closer inspection it clearly showed optimization demonstrative of a complete beginner to TASing. Unfortunately to top it off, your submission wouldn't be acceptable for a meme category as it doesn't constitute as beating the game anyway it has a better place as a userfile.

Arbitrary goal aside, I heavily suspect that manipulating a single dice throw of 2 or 7 followed by a "Go to Jail" card draw would be faster strats than throwing triple doubles.

Using some of the info here (mainly just the ram stuff since I'm lazy): http://tasvideos.org/FractalFusion/Source/Monopoly.html Done: http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/download/52215335120004295 (102 frames shaved off making it 486 frames.) Chance was faster to get than Community Chest. I ain't using the complete brute force method that Fractal has provided so more can obviously be done.

I have to say, I'm genuinely impressed that you went ahead to verify my suspicion and that it took you less than 20 minutes to do so. \(^_^)/

Requesting cancellation of this submission. Although I only submitted this as a meme, it's a pretty unfunny one.
