I was actually thinking about doing that game. I hadn’t gotten too far into it yet but was interested because a friend of mine runs that game.
I think it is time to do this :) Do you know any tips, tricks, glitches?
So far I’m not sure. I’ll have to do some research before I can know for sure.

Mothrayas Today at 12:22: <Colin> thank you for supporting noble causes such as my feet
MemoryTAS Today at 11:55 AM: you wouldn't know beauty if it slapped you in the face with a giant fish
[Today at 4:51 PM] Mothrayas: although if you like your own tweets that's the online equivalent of sniffing your own farts and probably tells a lot about you as a person
MemoryTAS Today at 7:01 PM: But I exert big staff energy honestly lol
Samsara Today at 1:20 PM: wouldn't ACE in a real life TAS just stand for Actually Cease Existing

And what about Cheese Cat-astrophe starring Speedy Gonzales ?
It didn't even mention on Genesis forum
There is already a Mercs Arcade mode TAS at http://tasvideos.org/881M.html , but as a Mercs speedrunner for Original Mode I would love to see someone break that to pieces. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqu-mMVztKU is an attempt by someone on the hardest mode but lacking any notes on how he pathed, a lot of his movement seems suboptimal. If anyone ever wants to do a Mercs Original TAS I would be quite happy to share all the knowledge and pathing but I lack the technical ability to do the tool-assisted stuff properly. :)
Has anyone tried their hand at the Genesis version of Battletoads & Double Dragon? It plays more accurately to the NES version than the SNES version (i.e. dash jumps exist, Billy & Pimple have their extra hesitation frames before they leave the ground when they jump).

Mario Kart DS (all cups, all missions)
In progress: Grand Poo World 3 (all exits hard mode)
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein on Sega CD, totally different from the Genesis/SNES version, this is an adventure game with 2D fighting boss fights. The adventure parts are pretty straightforward, not much you can skip. For the fights I believe they react to you so you can probably manipulate them all to do what you want.

I was thinking of doing this one next, that run will help a lot.

Cool, as always feel free to DM if you have any questions about the route.
Wonder Dog on Sega CD. A speedy platformer, goal is just to get to the end of the stages, and bosses are weak to mashing. I imagine a TAS could do most stages without slowing down. There are invisible platforms hidden around that are occasionally useful. There's a small skip in Scrapyard 2, you can enter and leave a hidden zone to bypass an obstacle. The 3rd boss on Planet Foggia is strange, you can clip your stars thru the pipe and hit the boss while it's supposed to be safe but it seems inconsistent.

The Ooze
I believe this is the third time it's been requested in this thread but I can't believe there isn't a TAS of THE OOZE yet!!
The game is so freaking hard and totally deserving of the TAS treatment.
Escape 2042, a homebrew platformer. Have to go around and collect 4 keycards to make progress and get out, then a few more stages compared to the GB one, including a pretty random shmup section and cave section. Beating the camera cycles are important. I believe you can "skip" camera cycles by pausing while they would be changing directions.
