EDIT: Updated final WIP to WIP 4.

3078 frames ahead.

Stage 1 is done! (I'll check this cave again once I finish this run).

Level 1 - 117 frames faster

- 100 frames saved by regaining control during the get sword jingle. The rest of the frames is for better optimization.

Level 2 - 2 frames faster

- Actually 3 frames saved on the 2nd guard room, but 1 frame lost later.

Level 3 - 64 frames faster

- After the skeleton path, better optimization on the following rooms.

EDIT - HD encode added:

Most of the run is the same as Ferret Warlord's most recent WIP (no game-end glitch. Also, with some input adjustments) of this game, so I added him as the main author and that's why the rerecord count looks lower.

I have no idea why these triggers to 'glitch worlds' is possible, technically.

Emulator used: BizHawk 2.2

No BIOS was included since I TASed 2 weeks before the creation of 'Dega Project'

40+ seconds ahead of the published run.

NOTE: SMS USA BIOS (Version 1.3) is required to play on emulator.

Green Hill and Yellow Desert Zones finished.

Also, Green Hill 1 is improved to 13 seconds.

Note that Enable FM Chip and Enable BIOS is both enabled. It was unnecessary, I think.

This movie ONLY syncs on the versions prior of BizHawk 1.11.9

854 frames ahead.

Header of this movie file is unchanged.

626 frames ahead of published run.

388 frames ahead of published run.

Input ends before Stage 2 boss.

3 minutes faster, thanks for new optimizations, a shortcut on 1-3, and a bigger skip on 1-4.

Input ends on the start of 2-1.

1-1 and 1-2 finished.

50 frames wasted at end of Round 2-1, to manipulate pattern on the Boss of Round 2-2 (Saving 96 frames).

Recorded on BizHawk 1.12.0

Rerecord count is very inaccurate.

NOTE: I returned to Stage 9 to fix 13 frames.

NOTE 2: Input ends much different than published run.

3402 frames (approximately 56 seconds) faster than published run.

NOTE: Fireballs collected in order to save time on the last boss later.

1906 frames ahead.

Levels 1-3 finished! 1022 frames ahead.

I restarted this run on Bizhawk.

Jump, and fall down inside the wall. It works only with stimpy, I think.

A savestate is required to watch this movie: http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/36227256741808552

41 frames faster.

Note: A death did on 3-1 to save time and a huge skip on 4-2.

Stages 1 and 2 fully completed! And luck manipulation on Bonus Stage 1.

• Real time input: 120704 - 33:28:43

WARNING: Input ends 167 frames later than normally because of use of pause button (select button) to get 00:01 in-game time instead of 00:04 on Level 20!

• My TAS aims in game-time, as well as real time!

Real time input (with in-game time): 120871 - 33:31:21

New improvements, including a boss skip on Level 17!

On Bizhawk movie, 1620 frames ahead of published run!

Small optimizations, and some new improvements, including a skip on Stage 14!

All of time lost because of emulation differences is finally recovered! 141 frames faster in this WIP!

276 frames slower due of emulation differences.

57 frames ahead of Odongdong's last WIP.

Due of emulation differences, this WIP is 124 frames longer than snes9x's old run.

Only Stage 7 is improved.

This TAS includes several new improvements, including:

- Jump Technique.

- Ledge Glitch.

- Better optimization in each stage and bosses.

- A new way to end input earlier than published run.

- Takes damage to save time in Stage 4 and Stage 7.

The first damage saves a little time, while the other damage saves more time.

Lots of improvements helped and several mistakes/flaws fixed to improve this run.

1882 frames (32.5 seconds) faster than Snes9x's WIP 2 of this game.

With this glitch, it's possible so save approximately 40 frames.

Two Notes:

- In one path of Snow Stage, for unknown reason, it's only possible to get the key going on closed door and then kill the enemy who has the Key.

- In Jungle Stage, I delivered the last hit a few frames later on pterodactyl Boss to save 24 frames.

I discovered a Reset Trick in the game:

Reset Trick

At the Frame 18, if you press Soft Reset, it's possible to skip the Data East and the Licensed by Nintendo Logos. It saves 854 frames!

I takes unnecessary damage in some parts of first stage just for fun (such as kill 3 enemies with 1 attack and drop meat when Joe is about to eat).

The last part before of the Boss Stage 3 is the most improved.

A New Glitch is used on the Boss Stage 3 to save time. Thanks to Mecha Ritcher for discovery!

900 frames (15.8 seconds) ahead of my last WIP of Snes9x emulator.

EDIT: I made a mistake of improvement time. It's 526 frames actually, not 681 frames.

I restarted the run because I changed Snes9x to Bizhawk emulator.

I improved in Stage 1 totally, but i lose several frames due of extra lag caused because of more accurate emulation of the Bizhawk.

Because of that, This WIP improved Stage 1 only 183 frames in the Bizhawk emulator.

Thanks Mecha Richter for an improvement of the Forest part of Stage 1. I Call: Early Finish Glitch.

Up to Stage 2, Again.

Up to second part of Stage 5.

I Discovered a Wall Jump Glitch which is used in the Ice Cavern of Stage 4.

Up to second part of Stage 3.

In Stage 1, I improved 1049 frames ahead Blackpearl's old WIP (he finished Stage 1 only).

I choose Tops because can throw darts to damage enemies from a distance, and that helps to reduce lag in some parts at the stages of the game.

Tricks:

Hover Trick (Discovered by Blackpearl).

Rapid Fire Trick (Discovered by Me).
