This movie aims to complete all the subgames in Kirby & the Amazing Mirror with the maximum score or lowest time.

Game objectives

  • Emulator used: BizHawk 2.11
  • Aims for maximum score
There's not really anything to explain in this movie that can't already be seen. 1st game eats all the fruits faster than the blink of an eye, 2nd punches 3 holes through the Earth, and 3rd surfs over 20 seconds faster than the AI.
In the 3rd game, hopping helps maintain speed a bit, but not much. Sometimes it's just done for fun.
Suggested Screenshot: Frame 6000

DrD2k9: Claiming for judging.
DrD2k9: Run is well made and accomplishes its goal of max score and/or fastest times for the various sub-games. This submission does include inputs to exit the final subgame once the race has eneded. The final input needed to yield the score/time is on frame 19096. So any future submissions trying to better this run, would need to either match scores/times with final input before that frame or would need to better scores/times.
Accepting as a standard branch of this game mode.

I kind of think only Kirby Wave Ride is interesting and should be showcased, it even keeps track of course times, making it perfect for comparison with future attempts. The other two are not really interesting, landing perfect charges in Crackity Hack is almost trivial to do by a human player. That said, the TAS as a whole looks solid.

I liked seeing frame-perfect Speed Eaters, though I agree that Crackity Hack was long and uninteresting. Probably good to do them all for completion's sake though. It'd be nice to read a little about how you kept your speed up in Wave Ride: does the surface of the water slow you down, so it's kind of like bunny-hopping to maintain your speed from getting those "Excellent"s?

Yes! I'll add that to the notes.
SMB2U is the best NES Mario game.

Congrats on the publication! I noticed the category ended up being called "all sub-games". That's a bit misleading because technically the game contains another subgame, Boss Endurance, which unlocks after 100%. Not a big problem but I needed to point this out. Sorry I'm late about this. That's not to say Boss Endurance is missing from this run, since I think it should be its own category anyway.
