Awesome improvements! I wonder if the "floor glitch" (used on 2-1, 6-1 and 7-1) could work in the original SMB1 too, because this find beats every expectation for me. Great job guys and Yes vote.

Nice knowledge you have about the sound driver from the SNES console! Speaking of that, here's the earliest warp setup footage (level 1 to level 6 checkpoint) with some corrupted sound effects: Link to video That was recorded by me and encoded by feos back from late 2018. However, there's something I didn't realize until a few weeks ago: if you pay attention between 1:27 to 1:33, the music slightly lags, which is something that can't be noticed at first despite being an unstable warp destination. In addition, here's the bk2 moviefile: http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/52173353379610868

This game has some unique charm for a GBC homebrew title :)
The credits start with the ship stationary and an input is required to get it to scroll. In the encode I do activate the scroll but since we're already at the credits I don't think that extra input should be included in the timing.
About ending the input, there's no problem at all if you only need some seconds of waiting time between entering the ship and opening the ending sequence just to press a button to start the credits for sure. Meanwhile, great job!

This mod is superb! Nice to see the remaster version being TASable after all. The optimization looks pretty good, and while watching this run alongside the current WR run of "Sonic & Tails" category, I noticed a timesaver in the middle of Marble Zone 2 around 3:26 of the encode video - around 4:16 of the WR run, it's actually possible to jump on the first spiked chandelier without waiting at all by getting hit slightly to the left to allow Sonic falling down earlier than intended: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpZM3-qs8EQ Also, the Labyrinth Zone 1 made me realize something between 9:13 to 9:29 (Sonic alone category WR): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ic1CgqIw3ns I'm not actually sure, but the Water Shield seems to save a little time at the time you get the shortcut despite the fact you need some backtracking at the beginning. Meanwhile, nice job and Yes vote.

I kept the same inputs from V2 for the majority of this TAS,
I watched both runs side-by-side and can confirm it. It means The8bitbeast should be added as an extra author to this run. Btw, the new improvements are great, with the highlight being 7-1 without the required backtracking to find the key :)

What a great commentary explaining about the game and how everything happens in this run after all. Great work!

Thegugafá, you put some effort in this hack, this run was judged and was almost close to be published when we realized that you didn't provide enough information that would have helped the judges to understand the actual objective of both modes. I'm confused with the quick cancellation and I had the feeling that the TAS was done without studying the hack properly, in addition to the fact that as Ikuyo pointed out, both modes contain rooms that are slower or faster and vice-versa. If you really want to be a dedicated TASer, I have an advice: once you finish a TAS, spend sometime revising the work to see if everthing looks satisfied enough to be submitted, or the lack of confidence might bring some consequences later. I'm not speaking as a Judge, but as a person who are present in the community for a long time :)

Better late than never. I forgot about this extremely old movie that even the branches are absent in both runs. Thanks for pointing it!

Well, there's one more, despite being a very old run that was obsoleted as a part of The First 500 project: [481] Genesis Cadash "1 player" by nifboy in 21:55.233

This is a great idea, because this game has a very good technical gameplay, variety, and the most important stuff: the music! The game pushed the limits of the Atari 2600 hardware not only for having a sequel of the famous first Pitfall game but also being an innovative game by the time the other games were about to became the breakthrough, err... advancing to the next generation with major changes in the gameplay formula, especially Super Mario Bros. In short, why not adding a Star? Seconding this idea :)

Nice to see a new TAS of this game, and what a secret! I didn't know about this secret ending and the fact you can achieve it using the debug code. The work looks great. Yes vote for me :)

Nice to see another Joe & Mac game here and thanks for mentioning me! Actually I have plans to bring the first Joe & Mac SNES game still this year, as I have a good full draft but still requires some polishment first :) Meanwhile, the optimization looks fine and yes vote.
