Time to open up a speedrun section for Secret of Evermore. Rules: * No savestates, slowdowns, or turbo buttons * Time measurement is in realtime from starting the game, till the moment you kill Carltron's Robot (final boss) * For segmented runs, a in-game save is required, and the delays between saves/reloads must be added * Using the Atlas Glitch, or major breaks with the help of the dog's random sniffing tech to bypass sequence triggers belong to the glitched category * For 100% completion, you have to get at least one of every item-, equipment-, trade good-, charm-, and all alchemy formulas / Horace's Call Bead upgrades * If possible, record a movie file on a stable emulator and post it here as a proof Good luck.

To contribute right there: Secret of Evermore - Glitchless any% speedrun in 2:36 (unassisted, single-segmented) (Recorded on Snes9x v1.43+ - copy-paste into browser if clicking doesn't work) This is a recent run for a category that was neither seriously speedrunned, nor TASed before. It doesn't use the Atlas Glitch or any major sequence breaks, and goes through the game the intended, natural way. I did 3 other attempts before, each with different strategies, and by polishing them, managed to save almost 50 minutes with this final one, which I think is now close to optimal strategy wise. Did a couple of smaller mistakes typical for single-segmented runs, but overall it's a solid performance I'm satisfied with. The run is also available in a high quality AVI here: http://www.archive.org/details/SecretOfEvermore_2.36_SS_glitchless_Saturn For more details about it, check the description there. Enjoy!
