Interesting crash. I was confused until I read your explanation. I wouldn't have guessed the problem was lag, what with so few sprites on screen.
Also, the repeating audio sounds like the sound effect when Kirby has one health point left/low health.

I am curious though, are there many other games where the credits can be accessed via debug mode? I don't know of all that many games where the debug mode can be accessed in general. This just seemed like a very rare case so I figured I'd share.
You mean a debug mode that the game allows you to use, or one that's hidden away in the code? EarthBound for SNES has a debug mode that can be accessed using either a Game Genie code or a Japanese version-only glitch. It lets you set the area of the game, and it allows you to warp to the credits.

That player is a genius. He just looked at the suspects and pointed at the one who did it.
Yes vote just for that.
Hold on, hold on, hold on. You voted down my Carmen Sandiego run, which did the exact same thing.
Only mine was clearly better because it did it 80 times.
I was kidding. This is obviously an April Fool's submission.
Your movie was very technically impressive, but I found it quite boring. It's too repetitive, like you said, the same thing 80 times. Your Beetle Mania TAS is very technically impressive too, but the result is watching similar combos for around 45 minutes. It's great you wrote a bot that can complete an NES game (and an SNES minigame), but I don't think those runs should be published to a site that hosts entertaining TASes because they're not entertaining.

Thanks for the encode, Valued Member Patryk1023!
The Mario theme seems to have changed. You know, the pause sound doesn't sound that bad for level music. Maybe they could remix it like the Pokémon low health sound remix.

The main reason pcsx-rr was used is a bug in psxjin that make the game "loop" when a memory card is attached to the movie.
Isn't this an emulation glitch? Shouldn't you be trying not to abuse those?
EDIT: My mistake. Sorry, I totally misread what he wrote here. This is like the third time I've done something like this to someone in two hours. I'm going to bed already...

I know. I misinterpreted his submission text. Amaurea corrected me on IRC, so I removed my irrelevant question; it doesn't matter anymore what I posted.

Since the category is "145 presses", I guess this wouldn't be obsoleted by a 144 press movie, but only by a faster/higher-score 145-press-movie.
See Brandon's Minimum Buttons page. A TAS with 100 button presses can be obsoleted by a faster TAS that also has 100 button presses. However, a TAS with 99 button presses, even if it's longer than the original TAS, can still obsolete the faster TAS. Then, a faster 99 press TAS would obsolete the slower 99 press TAS. That's how the system works.

Concept demo? I'm not sure I follow. We would just need a "aims for the minimum presses" tag or something, no? I was also suggesting to adelikat that I write the necessary code to track these stats on the submission page, but he strongly vetoed this. Maybe if this gets published, he'll change his mind...
Oh, I get it. This could be done for more games! That's a cool idea. Well, I hope this gets published then.

This is great! The on-screen button press display is really nice, and the way you overcome obstacles with few presses while hardly wasting time is really impressive!

Yes vote anyway.
