Here's my second complete run through Pugsley's Scavenger Hunt on the SNES. I used snes9xw-improvement7 to make this run, with all the boxes unchecked ([]Use WIP1 timing, []Allow Left+Right/Up+Down []Volume evsomething []Fake mute desync blah, []Sync samples etc).
I want to thank Hoe for bringing to my attention the awesome power of the walljump in this game. Basically, if you press L near a left wall or R near a right wall, the game will sometimes think you're standing on ground. When this happens, Pugsley can jump from the wall. This allows for a huge amount of shortcuts, both big and small ones.
I selected the hardest difficulty so fast, it's almost impossible to see it. This means Pugsley gets only one heart, and if he gets hit even once, he's dead.
My secondary goal was to collect as much money and kill as many enemies as possible. This is not always possible without wasting some time.
  • No warps or passwords
  • Abuses programming errors (walljumping)
  • No hits = no deaths
  • As fast as possible
  • Hardest possible difficulty

Err its too fast for me to really pick at it, but the wall jumping thing was quite noticible in some areas. Yes from me for the blazing speed.

The encoders are a bit busy, there are older publishable submissions on the workbench.

The game was very odd, all that odd theme enemies, background, and bosses. But I think it would be worth publishing because of it's speed going thru the level, like the sonic the hedgehog game. I went with "Yes" instead of meh, it was hard vote.

If you look in the submission details, it's right there in the ROM name field. But yeah, I had the same problem for a while, so I don't blame you. Could someone explain why Pugsley farts every time he kills an enemy?

Holy crap. That game sucks some serious wind, was there even suppose to be sound effects? Or were you just going too fast for that crappy programming to keep up with it. Heh, I'm not suprised that you can wall jump at all. I vote yes because it was a very good run of the game I thought. I don't think I could beat this game if I tried. Either because of the crappy programming, or that I just got bored out of my mind trying to. I think this game makes a better speed run then actually playing it :P

Look at the submissions queue. Some movies have been there for months without having an encoder make a decision...

Yeah, I didn't realize that at the time. That's why I'm not whining now. The recently published "Out to Lunch" movie was submitted in january! So according to my estemations, my movie will be published or rejected sometime in late 2006.

I'm never lucky! If it ever looks like I'm lucky, it's actually just a coincidence. :)

Good movie, it should be published REALLY, it deserves it... I don't know why it's still queueing, because there are movies that have been posted after yours and that have already been published, i do not catch the whole thing :S... Though i voted Yes because yours is impressively good :)
Not dead yet... still very busy... damn...

Thanks. It's always nice to get positive comments. :) Popular games and games with dolphins in them get published fast. Less popular ones have to wait. There are still probably some submissions older than this that can be published. The problem is that they are being published really slowly. I think the last time a movie older than this one was published was almost two weeks ago. Bleh...

hmm... i'm not sure what to think of this movie. i mean its fast, well done but at the same time its almost TO fast to really think about whats happening. not to mention that farting noise each time you bounce on something is really shitting me lol. that aside, well done on what seems to be a game ment to be played at a slower pace. thumbs up

I guess that's what we call a time attack, it's incredibly fast, so watching the movie once won't make you understand everything, and this one is fast and pretty well done... At least it's impressively fast, and being impressive is one of the goal of this site ;)
