  • Emulator used: VBA 19 (20 sucks for GB TASing)
  • Plays all levels (you can select stages 1 through 4 as your starting stage)
  • Aims for fastest time
  • Takes damage to save time
  • Takes damage for entertainment
I'm not sure how people will feel about this one. I think this game is absolutely goofy to the point that I enjoy watching it, but some may feel it's too simple to be entertaining. Optimizing it was not complicated. It was so not-complicated that in most cases, I was more focused on trying to make fun things happen than the frame counter.
Things that look inoptimal, but aren't:
  • Title screen - You really can't do anything until frame 2000 or so.
  • Level 3 - The water has some ridiculous hit-boxes going on. This may be improvable though.
  • Level 6 - The part where I sit there for a few seconds is due to the spikes lowering, and the uncontrollable jump height.
  • Level 7 - As each elevator stops, I must be near the middle, or the screen will not scroll.
To interest those of you reading into watching, let it be known that the following is in this run:
  • One (1) skateboarding clown

adelikat: This movie is just way too grue-vy for this site.

adelikat: Accepting for publication to the Vault

Brandon: Publication underway.

Brandon: Consistent emulator crashing + school starting back up = I can't handle this right now.
Ilari: Well, got some encodes here...

I would've deleted that and issued a warning, but this gem should be preserved for laughs and go down in history as a shining example of hypocrisy on the part of codeportalofsymbolicpixelgoroundxrainred. Though, coming to think of it, I'll still issue a warning because calling one of the more helpful members of the site a worthless poseur is just… wrong.

Good to see that... nothing... has... changed! Seriously, p0rtal of Pixel go Red, coming in and telling a respected member of any community to STFU and GFTO is not in your best interest.

And once again, you assume anyone cares if "we" get along? I for one, don't give a cow pie!

So we can only get along if we turn a blind eye on your silly little antics. Sounds like a sweet deal, right? You're pretty full of yourself, mr. Pixel g0 Red.

Son, this is not a comfortable time to ridicule a fellow member. I'm here to talk video games more than bashing people. I'll drop the subject for now. You win.

I'd suggest you reference this: http://tasvideos.org/forum/groupcp.php?g=272 and this (specifically judges): http://tasvideos.org/Users.html to understand who you are talking to in this thread. Also, did you just call me Son? Lol.

Ripping off the doom soundtrack in 1990? Looks like they must have a bunch of Flux Capacitors at Konami.

For some reason, the game always crashes the emu after some point in the credits. Can anyone try playing back this movie leaving the credits just to make sure that I'm doing something wrong?
