Monkey Magic TAS by Hoandjzj
Emulator used: PCSX-RR v0.1.3
About the run:
- Aim for fastest completed time
- Take damage to save time
About the game: I FOUND many TRICKS to BEAT the game FASTER! They were:
- Use game retry can skip some conversations
- Gold Monkey causes more damage than normal
- Jump then attack does double damage
- Normal run is faster than jumping, using the Power Rod is faster than normal run, but Monkey will stun for a while, so in general, normal run is faster. To skip the stun, there are 4 ways: enter door, start conversation, climbing, or freeze the Monkey
- Power Rod has no effect with bosses
- If you fly on the cloud, you can skip the animation of doing thing, for example, load the gun, pull the switch...
- There are 2 ways to infinite jumping:
- Jump and instantly attack, after the attack finished, jump again. This allows Monkey to "fly" in the air but the height cannot rise.
- Jump and freeze the Monkey then un-freeze, and jump again (you can do this to infinity after you get infinite power), with this way, the height can rise, so Monkey can jump to the very high.
- With these tricks I skipped many tasks, and even many stages, improved the run by 49336 frames (my first attemp was 1:02:41)
About the movie:
Important note: I recorded the movie at normal speed (59.82 fps) and resolution 640x480, so if playback at another condition, the movie will turn wrong at about frame 23000~25000
- Chapter 1: Enter Stone Monkey - Find Subodye's school and master your Magic Power
Around frame 9292: I had to pull the block a little to skip the conversation with the Bat
- Chapter 2: Search for the Ultimate Weapon - Obtain the Power Rod
Around frame 53022: used "triple" jump to get the key#3 quickly
- Chapter 3: Flower Fruit Mountain - Rescue your friends and defeat the Celestial Fleet
Around frame 66758: used "triple" jump to get through to the last stage
At boss fight: I had to load the Gun normally at the first to keep it works
- Chapter 4: Javan Mountain - Pass the Judges of the Dead and rescue Runlay
Found only 1 shortcut at the last stage (finding the Book#10)
- Chapter 5: Jourley to the Celestial Heavens - Gain the Divine Power
This chapter is beaten very quickly after I had infinite power
The end!
(I'm sorry my English is bad, someone please fix if there are mistakes!)
