This is a 2-minute and 18.38-second improvement by Favini01 to the currently published TAS Genesis Kid Chameleon by TheRandomPie_IV in 12:47.52.
I (Winslinator) was granted permission by Favini01 to submit this run on their behalf, who confirmed all input in the submitted movie file is their own. Please remove me (Winslinator) as an author, as I did not contribute to this TAS in any way. I only added myself because the site wouldn't allow me to submit unless I provided the username of a registered TASVideos user.
Favini01 has not provided submission comments at this time, but more information can be found in the description and comments section of the YouTube encode and various IL TASes posted previously on their channel, where many of the new glitches used in this run were introduced.
As a past TASer of this game, I can personally vouch that the technical quality of this run is outstanding. My thoughts, along with those of other past TASers like TheRandomPie_IV and Truncated, are expressed in the comments section of the YouTube encode.
Darkman425: Claiming for judging.
Darkman425: Hello Favini01, and welcome to TASVideos!
I am not a past TASer of this game, but watching this TAS and comparing it to the 15 year old publication is a definite night and day in terms of optimization and tricks built up during that time. Even without a lot of the crazier glitches there's a lot of tighter movement tricks done to conserve and build up horizontal bouncing speed and simply better movement optimization. Adding in the glitches involving going out of bounds to reach certain teleporters and now this is an incredible improvement and a great way to start my 2026 judging. Nice work!
Accepting to Standard as an improvement to [1483] Genesis Kid Chameleon by TheRandomPie_IV in 12:47.52.
