It was previously overlooked that you can reset on Dash!Jump! and you still get the level cleared. So 2/3 the levels now will reset to save a few seconds. You can't reset when you need to fight a boss minigame.

So this will actually save a lot more time than I expected. On average I'm saving 10.5 seconds per reset, and I can do this on 14 of the 22 courses. This adds up to 2:27 over the course of the whole run.

That looks amazing! Are the level select menus and such touchscreen only? In some games tapping on something and pressing A to confirm on the same frame is faster than simply tapping, but I guess it might not work in this one.

Been a while, thought I'd give an update. Just finished Ghost Grounds, almost 3 minutes ahead (~2:55). Will have a lot more time in the next few weeks to make some progress. EDIT: ~3:40 ahead leaving Growth Grasses

I broke this autoscroller a bit more for good measure Link to video I know for a fact that the screen wraps around after a while back to the end portal but there are a bunch of factors that make me think getting to it would be impossible without cheats.

I did it! Skipped a true autoscroller. Made possible by the fact that I figured out how to move vertically downward while out of bounds. It was as simple as realizing if i put a line at kirby's base, I get sucked farther down into the floor. Link to video

Just a small update, 5:19 ahead in the last room of Contrast Cave. Used the secret exit to skip the miniboss and spawn at the bottom of the third room.

Out of boredom decided to TAS one of the later levels. I should just be able to copy the inputs later when I get to this level in the actual TAS. This shortcut saves about 1:30 - 2:00 on RTA runs. Link to video

Update: Cleaning up Silver Submarine, currently 7:23 ahead of the old TAS. Also need to redo Cart Run because the RNG seed will be different. Link to video

I've gone back and started implementing a few new finds and other general techniques I picked up in the early levels that are the sloppiest because I was a bit hasty to start the TAS. It looks much, much better now, and I've already shaved off 32 seconds (!!).
