Comments

The game revolves around Yoshi and Baby Mario/Baby Luigi. Its graphical style and cast of characters originate from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. The game heavily utilizes the DS's touch screen capabilities, and makes use of the microphone as well. The challenge in the game comes from replaying the same modes over and over to get the best possible score, similar to the classic arcade games of the 1980s. Therefore, the difficulty of the game is based primarily on improving one's own skill. Text from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoshi_Touch_&_Go

Explain here things the audience would probably like to see

The end of falling mario where I play with the coins.

What could be improved

  • More coins at the first part
  • More precission at the second part
  • Throw less eggs

I'm sorry, but this game is nigh impossible for me to watch - it's simply too slow-paced. There's absolutely no way I can think of for anyone to enjoy a run of this game. You also make obvious technical mistakes such as missing coins during the first level, and don't, say, hit enemies as soon as possible (if I remember correctly, you don't some enemies at all) in the second or use as few eggs as possible (you admit all of these points in the submission text, for that matter). In fact, some digging suggests that your score of 693 is beaten unassisted (at least one location reports a score of 711, though there doesn't seem to be a way at first glance to confirm this). Kill it with fire.

Well, here's a new tool-assisted record by WaddleDX: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToZsIhTXJu4 I'm not sure that it is publishable, but it definitely proves a point.

...GEEZUS. That...was...AWESOME!! Now if that was submitted, I would so vote for a yes on that. That was quite entertaining.
Taking over the world, one game at a time. Currently TASing: Nothing

Thanks for linking to that and proving my point. Although the second part of that run is impressive, one needs to sit through the hideously slow first part in order to get there. I'd probably vote Meh on this if it were submitted.
