About the Game:
Barbie: Vacation Adventure is a 1994 prototype game for the Super Nintendo. You play as Barbie, who visits 4 states of America before going back to her mansion in California.
About the TAS:
This TAS aims for “all postcards” which means getting a postcard in each state.
Florida: Beach
After ~30 seconds of waiting and precise menuing, we head off to a beach in Florida.
We need to scroll the screen far enough for Barbie to say she wants to go scuba diving. Then we go straight back out of the scuba diving area and make Barbie leave the beach.
Wyoming: Camping
Now it’s time for us to help Barbie build her tent. This requires some precise movement of the plus sign to place the pieces as soon as possible. Then it’s time for a “walk” which, in this case, is 3 seconds of Barbie standing in the forest and then leaving.
Iowa: County Carnival
First, we need to find Farmer Brown’s prize pig. Then all we have to do is leave the carnival like nothing happened.
Texas: Western Ranch
Upon arriving, we need to press R for long enough for Barbie to decide to do horseshoe throwing. We have to throw 10 horseshoes as fast as possible. Then we leave the ranch - once again, like nothing happened.
California: Welcome Home
Barbie’s finally home after her holiday that was worse than the Heffley family’s long haul. After being greeted home by one of her butlers, she needs to find a few presents that have been hidden around her mansion.
Here are the locations of each present:
- Present #1: A red chair.
- Present #2: Barbie’s closet.
- Present #3: Barbie’s vanity drawers.
- Present #4: A yellow sofa.
After that treasure hunt, Barbie goes downstairs, opens the door and there’s a brand new shiny sports car outside. Just another day in the life, am I right?
And That’s It!
