TAS Goals:
  • Solve all 70 puzzles in the story.
    • Unlike prior Layton games, this title has no post-game puzzles, nor minigames.
  • Collect all 200 hint coins.
Some cutscenes cannot be skipped.
Edit: The re-record count on this one seems odd as well (compared to my past submissions.) Maybe 3D Layton is cursed or something, lol.

ikuyo: Have to drop to focus on some other site work.

Tegron: Claiming for judging.

I believe the "odd rerecord count" has to do with 3DS emulation itself, not the games specifically. I've seen many people complain about this oddity.

BizHawk's 3DS core does not count rerecords correctly, so many 3DS submissions show less than the actual count of rerecords made

Speaking of emulation, it appears there's a few minor graphical errors, based on UndercookedRice's video upload. During a few short scenes involving prisoners inside cells, the models get stuck in a fade-in state and aren't solid, ending up much less visible than intended. There's also a few issues during the final trial. Just something to note for the official encode.
