It probably is another game enjoyed most by those who know of it. I used to play this game alot growing up so I liked it and voted yes. After all how can you not like a game about aliens trying to take over and a guy who has to kill them with his hair heh. (really who comes up with this stuff?) The only problem is that i'm now left wondering how much time could have been saved had you taken more damage.. but perhaps as you said bouncing and flashing through the whole game might have been a little less enjoyable. Anyways nice to see you going back and polishing up your older movies always enjoyable to watch them :)

I just got on and am very surprised. With all the trouble you were having with luck manipulation I didn't expect this to get done nearly so fast. I can't wait to watch it. Thanks for the props I'm sure you did a great job implementing all our suggestions. Well time to watch will check in soon. After watching: All I can say is wow! It takes off with the father and I'm still left trying to get my jaw off the floor at how fast you got through that and an even better job at getting up to his crown. Getting those speed scrolls for the mother before the very long ladder near the start of her area was very nice also. You did a great job of keeping the action up and making almost everything seem like a very fast paced game. Certainly a yes vote from me. Great job giving this game the movie it deserved. While I don't want to say anything bad about it there is only one small part that left me wondering if it could have been done faster has to do with those blocks mentioned in Maynas area also. I'll look into it even though I can definetly see why you'd be sick of working on it and won't be asking you to fix it. Again incredible job I loved it :) edit: looked into it doesn't really seem to be much faster maybe a few frames at best but not much and also when testing pushing the blocks to stop them.. it seems that it still makes you wait some even if they stop moving (not sure if they make you wait full duration) so I think if anything it would probably end up making it take long to stop them and get back.

Lol makes me glad you are doing this movie and not me. I hope you can get the speed scrolls towards the end of his section like last time so you can get his crown the way you did it looked very nice.

Good job! Nice to know the run is going fairly smoothly (luck manipulation aside) Have you found out whether it is faster to avoid the ladder mentioned in xemn's area yet?

Yes it all looks nice. I had noticed the pochi part but hadn't gotten around to testing it. Now just to hope the path skipping the ladder is faster so that your block route can be used. Quick note about routeplan map due to the boys warping around I sort of forgot to completely finish showing what to do.. I should have wrote to use the orb as soon as dragon slayer is grabbed and then to go in one of the two inns along the way to equip it (whichever is faster.. likely one above keela) but I'm quite sure you already know this.. just bugs me not to mention it :) *drops a magic refill* :p

I just thought of something else. Since it is now possible to do the daughters crown any time after getting the pick. It would be possible to do the mother 3rd making her fight Archwinger. I'm not sure if this would have any benefit at all but when the mother fights her boss she won't have the power knuckle. The girl is able to have the power knuckle which may make killing Rockgaea faster with her? Though I'm not sure how well the mothers less dmg would effect Archwinger fight. (dmg ratings are 2 for mother without power glove and 4 for daughter with power glove) its another thought anyways.. and it thankfully wouldn't change any of the route plans.

Ok the route map is up. Hope its all there it was a bit rushed but hopefully its alright. Again its only the basic routes.. detailed would take way too much work :p hope it helps in some way though you probably knew most of it anyways. ftp://temp:none@atlin.serveftp.com edit: The inn that is indicated on the map to equip the glove can be changed that is the quickest one but you may have a speed scroll around that time that could change things.

Yes the girl can jump higher then Roas with his spring boots on even. The idea was by not buying the spring boots you could avoid that side of the girls area and buy the wings with the saved money but maybe you feel it would be faster to do it a different way. And yes randomness is quite a pain in this game. If it would help any I can show a map with the current route I was proposing. Maybe it would help clear things up for you. And you can clear up which is best for yourself.

That jump showed with Roas was actually just to show you how to do it with the girl. The girl is the only one who needs up there to get her crown and she is able to do that without the spring boots. Roas can go get the dragon slayer the way I showed in the second one (although I hope alot better then I did it :P) Sorry if I created a bit of confusion. I forgot to record when I did it myself with the girl. So I left the one I did with the boy just to show how it would be done.

I think Ferret did most of the ladder mentioning but I put up another map on ftp showing a ladder in Xemns area that might be faster if skipped.. and I think it may be what he mentioned in one of his posts. ftp://temp:none@atlin.serveftp.com

I also think starting with the father may be the way to go as when I took another look during the path to the wings a chest with keys is grabbed since you won't be going there making up those keys one at a time would be hard. Its also getting hard to judge any improvements now due to so many changes in the route many of the old things mentioned don't even apply anymore hehe.. but since was one of my favorite games growing up I'd like to see it done with the best quality it can be. You can get a DNS from here : http://www.no-ip.com/ along with a small program found on the download tab, that makes sure when your ip address changes it will automatically update it. (assuming you don't have a static ip) And then all you need is a ftp server program there are some free I use a small and simple one http://www.guildftpd.com/index.php also if you are using winxp pro there is a component called IIS that can be installed by going to add/remove progs - add/remove windows components and putting a check mark next to it. As for security I can't really say .. I haven't had any trouble myself and haven't heard of a great security threat of using a ftp but I imagine it depends on alot of things from your OS (and keeping it updated with security fixes) and with the server you choose. So you may want to look into this area more yourself. Good luck with it :)

Yes it is looking very nice, starting to wonder just how much time will be saved by all these things.. anyways to save you the time looking I went ahead and put the map of the mothers area up on the ftp with the shop selling the wings highlighted. The only bad thing I've noticed so far with this idea is the fact that the inn is a very short distance from the shop selling the wings which cost 95 but getting the gold for it probably still wouldn't be too much trouble. Also I just realized that pochi can't use the power knuckle so you would have to do without against the second boss should you choose to use the father first.. just another thing to consider.. though bosses don't seem to last long either way. You did end the fight with only one life point left when using the father against it but I think that damage could be avoided if you had needed to.

After doing more testing I've found something else that could prove significant.. A way to beat the game without having the spring boots. I'm not sure of all the possibilities this opens up but I'll look into that more soon for now I'm going to put up two short lil .fcms showing how it would be done.. in the first one it shows Roas getting up there with the spring boots which is what I was originally planning to make getting the dragon slayer faster. However I then tested it with the Lyll and it turns out that she is able to make this jump without the spring boots. I had originally thought that you could only make the jump on the right side and thus would need the spring boots. (sorry didn't think to record her doing it but you get the idea) The second one is just showing the fact that Roas can get the dragon slayer without the aid of the spring boots also. This leaves lots of ideas to explore on how to use the money ect... one idea I have is to use the money to buy the wings in the mothers area allowing you to skip nearly all of the girls area (except to get the dragon slayer) and yes I just tested with the help from enemies it is possible to get to the wings and get to an inn before its absolutely necessary to have them. ftp://temp:none@atlin.serveftp.com p.s. oops I was looking at the wrong shop that was selling the magic key for 80 gold.

I did notice the one for 80 gold there but it still looks to me like it would be slower as you have to go in the path underneath and go to the shop and then from the looks of it on the map backtrack a minor bit and go over top I suppose it depends how fast getting to the shop above keelas would take anyways I'm sure its another possibility for him to look into.

Yes poochi usually is the first choice and may still be. I was just looking into making a way for that money bag to have a use. As for the boy and spring boots i can see the problem with collecting the money you need but i was thinking more along the lines of simply using it just for that jump and switching them off. However if you for some reason are able to start with enough money for the inn needed to equip the dragon slayer it might even be good to keep them on until the last spot they are needed as magic wouldn't be a problem if you didn't have to kill enemies because of that forced inn stop. Anyways I'll keep looking for ways to help.... drive you insane that is :p

I've been looking over the route some more and come up with another idea however I'm not really sure whether it will save time or not. The idea would be to play the father first and along the first path towards the glove grabbing the money out of the chest and then using it to buy the magic key in the shop above Keela (the dragon) using the glove to push the block out of the way and flying enemies to get up to it. The reason you would have to use the father first is because of the max gold limit and the fact that along poochies path is the second money bag in a chest and it would get wasted (and the money is definetly needed for spring boots later) anyways its just an idea it may or may not work. Pros: Avoid long path to get magic key in mothers path Save 12 keys (6 there and back) May be able to use one less inn trip to equip magic key or delay a stop until a more convient one is available. Cons: Have to stay at an inn to equip the fathers glove Magic key costs 60 money bag is only good for 50 May or may not have to stay at an inn with poochi to equip power knuckle for the boss he will fight. I believe the bosses go in a set order no matter which crown you grab so poochi would be fighting the boss the father fought in your first run if this is so. Also after defeating the bosses it starts you on a tiny bit of stairs which you seem to normally climb up wouldn't it be faster to jump up? When playing raos (the boy) despite having the spring boots you wait and use the enemy to make the first jump I think it would be best to grab the spring boots last so that they start on. Though I imagine this will be changed due to the fact that you will already have the orb unlike in your first run. Also after you teleport on top of the area where the dragon slayer is, it looks like falling down on the right side would be faster then going towards the left the way you do maybe the speed scroll in the chest would even be useful. Looks can be decieving though so we'll see.. good luck

The locked door just above the inn has a lion sitting on it once he is touched he will start to move and will jump you can use him to jump up to the area above on the right side I have tested it the jump is possible with its help. I think once you are able to test it you will understand better. Good luck :) p.s. the run was still very enjoyable keep up the good work.

I have been waiting for a Legacy of the Wizard run for quite some time now and this one is definetly a good start but, as you mentioned some of the mistakes did hurt it. So i'm still holding off on my vote for now. I think I found a better route for the daughter, since the areas are so large and its hard to explain I made a map. It doesn't really show how to get from one point to the next as you can figure that out yourself easily but shows the basic route. Hope it helps you and that you will consider doing a second run if you find the time. Map here : ftp://temp:none@atlin.serveftp.com

I had the same problem, the title wasn't clear. The correct rom is Mighty Morphin Power Rangers - The Movie (4) [!].bin
