Submission Comments
I'll add details when I have time later. Please refer to this submission about this game.
1026 frames faster than above submission.
Credits to crazyjesse who created dkc4 tas originally and I used his inputs for K. Rool. Samsara for finding underwater ceiling boost.

Game Obectives

  • Emulator used: Bizhawk 2.4.2
  • Aims for fastest time
  • Takes damage to save time

Movements

Diddy is faster or even in almost every ways. Donkey is only faster when swimming vertically. Diddy's dash oscillates in 3,3,3,3,5 while Donkey is flat 3.
Dashing is fastest move, walking, dashing and swimming (horizontal) are all 2.

Tricks

  • Edge boost
As the name says it works at the edge of platform with jumping off (not always, as far as I know, you can use this with rounded platform in jungle stages such as first stage).
  • Ceiling boost
It works by zipping ceiling in underwater. Specifically, you can zip ceiling from |_ shaped corner.

Memory: Claiming for judging.
Memory: Optimization looks good.
With the glitches present, the movie was received well by the audience. The water zips were especially interesting.
Accepting to Moons.
Zinfidel: Processing...
