I'm pretty interested in TASing the game. It can be pretty speedy run. Here is a test run made by me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OA-YwHZg0RU I'm considering which goal to choose, any% or 100% items. Since the run is very speedy, I think 100% run won't be a bored run. What do you think about that.

Reminds me of that chase scene from Castle Crashers. :P

OK, I dicided to choose 100% run because I made 1-1 run for all items and it was obviously more entertaining than any%.

Oh, Ivy the Kiwi. I thought of making a topic of this game but I figured it would be very hard to do a really optimized run for Ivy the Kiwi. Sorry to inform to you Ryuto that your TAS can be improved very much. If you shoot away Ivy instead, he can be accelerated to enormous speeds but only for a short while. I found it very hard to get the speed and angle I wanted but you cna get up to very very high speeds (I got up to around ~8000) I uploaded a very unoptimized test here for you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9giW_MdqQq0 And 0217AFC8 (2 bytes signed) can be used for speed (won't change when he is walking)

Thanks for telling me that trick! I'll give it a try.

No problem at all. If you succeed in doing an optimized run for this game, it will surely be impressive. I'm finding it to be very difficult because of the immense number of possibilities. I'm not really sure what tactic is the best, doing a straight line or trying to 'swing' him away. I get very different results all the time, doing a swing sometimes give a huge speed boost but also takes longer to perform. I have also tested the possibility to glitch through walls (not unlike SM64) but it seems pretty hard, you'll probably need an extremely high speed. Good luck!

Alright, I've optimized the run. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2G6_ypFvh18 Finally I got out of the screen. I haven't researched how to start first, so it could be improvable. I'm glad that the run can be that speedy. Thanks again!

That was quite faster than I thought was possible, I haven't looked too hard into it though. You don't think it might be possible to gain enough speed to go through walls in between frames? Anyway, it looks great. Those later levels will be tricky, especially those who requires that boulder. I hope you finish it, I'll very much look forward to it. :)

That looks awesome! I'm pretty sure those speeds will allow for some glitching. Anyway, keep it up, I look forward to the end result!

No matter how I tried to go thorough walls, I didn't susceeded in. Gee, I forgot to disable a cheat code that adjust speed to search glitch.<_< Now my run gets desynced and I have to redo from 1-1.

I think this kiwi can beat sonic in a race.

This was awesome. My favorite part was around the spike pits in 1-5. Looking forward to more. Suppose a stable Dolphin showed up soon... would there be any merits in doing the Wii version instead, or both? I kind of doubt four players could make that bird move faster.

Let's just pray for the off-chance that frame-perfect synchronization will cause the speed to accumulate. Because then it'd four times as fast. And, well, very confusing.
