NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Here lies the greatest unpublished run.
It could be a good candidate for Gruefood Delight. Though this one wasn't published, if you use your amazing bot-programming skill to make an entertaining run, I'm sure it will be published.

Is it just me or did the sound mute at some point?
Yes, the audio was missing from about 3 seconds of the encode, but the audio was fine for the rest of the video. Great run, KFCMARIO! I also enjoyed shooting all of the fireballs at enemies without wasting time. Good job improving the currently published run. Yes vote!

NoRee (same author who made the Paper Mario 2 WIPs, I think?)
Yes, I think it's the same person.

This looks rather improvable to me.
Why would NoRee/0Jwn make an optimized TAS? It looks like he only does unoptimized test runs.

I haven't played the game, but it looks hard to control. This TAS is short and has some good shortcuts, so I'll vote Yes.

This looks like a cool game. Nice improvement, and nice TAS! Voting Yes. EDIT: Why would someone vote "Meh"? It's an improvement! Why not accept it?

Oh, I didn't even see rog's post since we both posted within the same second, but he's right and he technically beat me to it.

I wasn't aware of this either, but what rog means is:

The password HCRAYERT will normally put you in chapter 16 with most upgrade, and 200,000 hero points.
Entering the password does this and also glitches to the credits.

Voted no for use of a password. It's funny, but doesn't fit the guidelines here.
The password isn't supposed to warp you to the credits. It's only possible for it to warp you to the credits by entering it on a very specific frame. That's why it's a glitch, not a cheat.

That's it? It doesn't bypass YouTube's annoying re-encoding, reduce the time the video takes to upload or process, or anything like that? Then how does this program improve on the official YouTube uploader (besides large file support and resumable uploading)?

Mac builds can't be compiled in the same way using the same compiler that's used for Windows builds? Does that mean you would have to compile the Mac build on a Mac to create a usable build?

Last time he talk about that, he was talking about doing a quality test then try to submitting it but I don't know what happen, maybe he did but I didn't saw any of them :/
Who do you mean? I'm not familiar with quality tests, or who does them. Also, do you mean the run hasn't been submitted yet?

BTW, it's been a while since I didn't post CoolKirby, so I'm still looking for this game, you're the man ;) and if someday, the GC emulator start working well on Mac, I hope I'll have the chance to help you with your TAS a bit :) . So great job and take your time and submit an incredible run like I'm sure you are able to.
Thank you! I will take my time and make the run as optimized and entertaining as I can. I'm surprised that the latest Dolphin revisions don't work on your Mac. If you need a Mac build of the recommended TAS-input revision, rog might be able to compile it for you.

I thought it was short, fast, and entertaining, and of course a great achievement managing to warp to the credits (even though it makes no sense why that should have happened). Nice find and thanks for providing an encode so I can quickly vote Yes.

It was entertaining at first, but by the end, it got repetitive and boring. It's not bad enough to vote No on, so "Meh" vote.

Wow, I didn't realize he rolled the r in "Bowser". It still sounds like "eh" to me though.

Oh, never mind then. I was just curious whether there were any differences in the code between a patched Dolphin and an official build. But it sounds like they're identical.

Thank you. I just thought it wasn't right that someone made their own patch and got credit for your idea. By the way, are there any differences in functionality between a rerecord-fix patched (official) Dolphin revision and 3.0-590?

Ah, that would explain it. I guess I should've asked you if that was you first...

Well, rog, it looks like someone took your idea and made an official build (3.0-590) with a fixed rerecord counter. I think they should've credited you, but at least the fix is in an official release.

That would also explain the "Thank you so much for to playing my game!" at the end.
Wasn't it "Thank you so much-a for to playing my game-a"? ;p
You know what I meant. I like the sound of the line anyway, at least the "so long" part. It sounds better than "buh-bye" (Japanese version and 64 DS) at any rate.

How would you know that it's not the least number of button presses?
Wouldn't there be at least one other TASer who knows enough about the game to know when the game could be completed in 1 or 2 less presses? For example, andrewg suggested a 1 press improvement to Brandon's original "145 presses" SMB run (and eventually Brandon found 2 more presses could be saved as a result).
