This is a 1-minute improvement over Nitsuja’s published run.

Emulator details

  • Recorded on snes9x-1.51-rerecording-svn92
  • Use WIP Timing - on
  • Left+Right/Up+Down - off
  • Volume Envelope Height Reading - off
  • Fake Mute desync workaround - on
  • Sync samples with sound CPU - on

Game objectives

  • Aims for fastest time
  • Controlls 2 characters
  • Manipulates luck
  • Abuses programing errors

Lag reduction

Entering an exit causes 3-frame lag per 1 player, so 2 players didn’t enter the exit at once. Some of boss battles limit special performance due to lag. In 4-8, there wasn’t much I could do.

About movie end

Putting bombs horizontally allows stopping key input much faster than the last boss being beaten if I throw a bomb to the bomb’s line from the edge of it.

Special thanks

  • Nitsuja and Amilala, for their works. I got some ideas, from their runs, on how to make boss battles and 5-1 entertaining.

Nice run, many of the levels look so much faster that I'm surprised it's only 1 minute faster in total. The only negatives I can think of aren't your (Ryuto's) fault (some bosses were more boring in order to avoid lag, and the time isn't 13:37 anymore). Now I wonder when the Super Bomberman 2 TAS (which is even older than what this is obsoleting) will get an update...

Perhaps that can be Ryuto's next project. :)

Didn't notice the suggested screenshots. That said, I prefer the other one because the main characters are near the center and are facing the screen. Optimizing...
All the best, Brandon Evans

How about the Neo Bomberman in Arcade?
Do the work.

I don't think this should be marked with "Heavy glitch abuse" since the only programming errors it uses are minor and hard to notice.

Agreed. I think there's been some confusion over the invulnerability period - someone thought it was a glitch instead of an intended feature and that's why the category is there.

The next project I'm considering is Super Bomberman 5 for now.
