Professor Layton and the Last Specter is a puzzle adventure game by Level-5 released in 2009. The player follows a linear narrative while solving self-contained brain teasers.
Since speedrun.com doesn't have a 100% category for this game, I had to define it myself:
- Solve all 155 puzzles encounterable in the main story.
- Solve the 15 puzzles in the bonuses section that unlock after you beat the game.
- Gather all 300 hint coins.
- Finish all 3 trunk mini-games: Toy Train, Fish, Puppet Theater.
- Collect all 24 items for the Collection.
- Obtain all 20 Episodes.
- You don't need to watch them.
- Get 10 Mouse Badges.
- You need 10 to play Mouse Alley.
- Mouse Alley does not need to be played.
- Mouse Alley is an overworld mini-game not found in the professor's trunk about achieving high-scores by playing whack-a-mole with mice. It's ignored here because even though it does have a progression system in the form of ranks that get bestowed upon reaching arbitrary point totals on the total score counter, the final rank is given at 10,000,000 points. This would add near 30 hours, if not more, to the movie. That figure is only based on my own estimations though (based on how far I got within 10 minutes of playback), and may be over-exaggerated.
- London Life does not need to be played.
- London Life is a completely separate game from Professor Layton and the Last Specter on the same cartridge. It's a social RPG in which you talk with and help the cast of all 4 Layton games that were released at the time. Help out different characters with their requests to earn money and happiness to decorate your own house with furniture, and accessorize your avatar with different clothing. That's all I really know about this game though, as I only played it once for about 30 minutes when the game came out. As such, I don't know what full completion of London Life looks like. All requests, furniture and clothing, sounds good, but are there more things to do? I don't know and the Layton Wiki doesn't help.
Mouse Alley and London Life were in the initial plan for this project but, due to the reasons listed above, I axed them.
Made with "All Story Puzzles" route on speedrun.com by tutelarfiber7. Some cutscenes and credits cannot be skipped.
eien86: As far as I can tell, all puzzles and other artifacts have been obtained for a 100% completion, even those that appear after the game end credits play. The closes RTA movie I could find is
this one which is faster than this on but, although completes all story puzzles, does not bother with collectibles. This movie looks optimal to a casual viewer and the last input makes sense.
