Bounties
GAME: ~ Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games, DS 2010~
BOUNTY 1 - Sub 38 seconds on Alpine Skiing ~ 50 euros Difficulty:⭐⭐⭐
Current TAS is under 39 seconds. It's a Touchscreen event, it uses the stylus.
The current TAS does not use an optimization at the start that saves around 300 to 500ms. The WR Holder also says that, sometimes, after touching a gate, he receives an unusually great boost, he has to wiggle on specific gates. We (Remy and me) have not managed to understand the glitch, so the current TAS barely implements it.
This TAS is unoptimized. Remy (the TASer of Alpine) does not have any motivation to improve it. I bleed the 300ms time save from the start throughout the TAS.
BOUNTY 2 - Biathlon, 11:09.6XX ~ 100 euros. Difficulty:⭐⭐⭐⭐
Biathlon's TAS sits at 11:10.016. You can improve the TAS by a few milliseconds, but the bounty is not for that.
Biathlon's timer works with increments of 300ms. It goes from 11:11.090 to 11:10.630, from 11:10.630 to 11:10.030, and so on.
If you manage to reach a new 300ms barrier, you get the bounty.
If you fail, you may improve the TAS by 00:00.002ms or so, but that won't get you a bounty. There are around 30ms of wiggle room, before the timer drops by 300ms.
Bounty or not, the community will be happy to see an improvement of 00:00.002, so feel free to share it.
Biathlon requires a very specific CPU position. That's RNG, reset the minigame on Hard Mode until you achieve the specific set up. Also, all available optimizations are found on Lap 1.
BOUNTY 3 - Skeleton ~ 100 euros. Difficulty:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Skeleton's TAS is supposed to be perfect. Improve it to earn 100 euros.
The current TAS sits at 00:51.817 seconds. The current WR sits at 00:51.817 (tied). Skeleton is a Touchscreen minigame.
How it was performed: Choose Bowser, draw circles, boost on the first possible frame, don't crash. The very last dash is delayed to force Bowser's position a bit further on the screen, which saves 1ms.
Beat my TAS by 1ms and achieve 100 euros.
BOUNTY 4 - Luge ~ 100 euros. Difficulty: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Luge's TAS is supposed to be perfect. Improve it to earn 100 euros.
The current TAS sits at 00:41.218 seconds. The current World Record sits at 00:41.219 seconds, because the TAS is not RTA viable, or extremely hard for a human without pauses.
How it was performed: Choose Bowser, nail the gauge section, drive the race.
The race is supposedly simple: stay on the yellow line. But Bowser is too talented, so the inertia pushes him outside of the yellow line on Turn 2.
This is the key section, where time is saves or lost, supposedly. By positioning Bowser on a certain pixel, he can re enter the yellow line sooner. This is done with a bunch of frame perfect inputs and saves 1ms.
If you find a magic pixel that saves 1ms, somehow, then you've done it.
BOUNTY 5 - Blazing Bobsleigh ~ 100 euros. Difficulty: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Blazing Bobsleigh is a bit laggy and unpredictable. It's lag is inconsistent, it depends on the CPUs, the replay can become corrupted.
It is not unlocked from the get go, so you will need a save file provided on a link below.
The current World Record sits at 00:56.445 seconds.
The current TAS sits at 00:56.444 seconds.
The final millisecond was saved by letting go from all buttons, and letting the bobsled build up speed for longer. Turning makes you lose speed.
Beat the TAS by 1ms to earn 100 euros, to earn the bounty.
This bounty is more realistic, because the event is very unpredictable. I would not be surprised if I missed something.
- OVERALL BOUNTY RESUME
Overall, Luge and Skeleton are not known to be beatable. Biathlon is considered to be solved as well.
Alpine is improvable but we don't know by how much, the WR Holder says he can see it going under 38 seconds. There's a glitch that we don't understand, according to the WR Holder. Alpine is majorly misunderstood.
Blazing Bobsleigh possesses unreliable behaviour and I am unaware of whether it's solved or not.
EMULATOR AND SAVERAM
The SaveRAM is needed for Blazing Bobsleigh. Because you have to unlock the event. I will provide the save on a link.
[Mod Edit: Do not specify where people can download copyright-protected materials.] Whichever version is fine.
The other minigames have to be played from a fresh file, on whichever version of Bizhawk emulator or Desmume or MelonDS you prefer. Do say which version.
The TAS file you provide has to be susceptible of being replayed by me and/or replicated, from a fresh file (or from the save file I provided). You know, because 100 euros are an incentive for cheating.
I advise that you use the game's GHOST feature to race your own Ghost - TASes. It's available for: Skeleton, Luge and Alpine Skiing GS.
CONTACT DETAILS AND PAYMENT
Find me on Discord, but if I don't reply, I'm always active on my youtube channel. I'm one of the few TASers of the game, so if you ask for me on the Discord you'll find me, my TASes are on Youtube as well. The Discord is linked on SRC or Cyberscore.
Payment: whathever works. Paypal, Bank, Bizum, idk.
