Stage by stage comments

<First World>

<The first world of this game is separated in three parts inspired on first levels of SNES version of Super Mario Bros (All-Stars). The first part is similar to Overworld, the second part is Underworld, and the third part is the castle that contains lava and a boss (Bowser) in the end. The Overworld music plays in all parts of this world, except the boss.

<Second World>

<The second world have visuals that remembers "Yoshi's Island" from Super Mario World 2>

Other comments

<It's my first TAS, I saw some tutorials on Youtube and so I didn't have much trouble to made it. I played this game during aproximated 2 Months before starting to do this TAS, and so I analised each level and chose the best ways to improve it. >
  • Takes damage to save time
  • Deaths to get 3 more "fire attacks" and beat the bosses faster
  • Luck Manipulation in some parts
  • Faster than camera in some parts

Masterjun: Judging.
Masterjun: This game is a hack of Squirrel King, and a pretty bad one at that. The first two levels are edited, and the whole rest of the game (which is about 80%) is exactly the same as the linked publication of the game. Due to the amount of similarities, we can't accept this hack to the site. While this is enough of a reason to reject this submission, I also want to point out that the movie was made on a fixed dump of the ROM and does not sync on a good dump. The goal choice is questionable as well, since this run plays the 1 player mode of the game. The 2 player mode of the game is faster, more entertaining, and shows off more of the game overall.
The main reason for rejection remains that this hack is unacceptable due to big similarities to the original game.
Rejecting.

the movie definity has some entertainment value, like how you jump through the ground to walk under it. I also love watching TASes of bootlegs. very well optimized and didnt see any issues. for a first TAS, this is pretty good.

Featuring beloved Mario enemies like Freaky Bat-Gremlin-Thing, Blue Jumpsuit Helicopter Pig, and, of course, Less-Than-Awesome Possum. With special guests Construction Ostrich and Tank Rhino from the Megaman X series! Maybe this will teach Haunter never to take a drunken bet after eating the "special Foongus" from Brock's secret stash. At least they had the decency to acknowledge where they ripped the game mechanics from by naming the first two enemies in the cast list Chip and Dale.

This game is a slightly more elaborate hack of Squirrel King. What also ticks me off is that you used a fixed dump, when a verified good dump is available. I'm not going to vote.

Okay... sorry for the bad dump, but the only ones I found was [f1] and [f1+c], thanks for suggestion and... yes, it's a modification of Squirrel King

For what it's worth, the SHA1 checksum of the verified good dump is 5011E16F0AB3A6487A1406B85C6090AD2D1FE345. This doesn't match the SHA1 checksum of the [f1+C] dump (FF6661D39B2BAD26F460E16106CA369421388596).

Uhm. In that movie, 2 players are used. Wouldn't be faster for this hack too, to use 2 players?...
my personal page - my YouTube channel - my GitHub - my Discord: thunderaxe31 <Masterjun> if you look at the "NES" in a weird angle, it actually clearly says "GBA"

Author could just change the category to "1 player".

So I never got a chance to really ask this at the time but is there absolutely no way this bootleg could be acceptable? Even though it has most of the levels from another bootleg, there are 2 unique levels.
