That's a really nice trick. It's too bad it won't be in the final run, but it's really good that a 120 star run is getting done (relatively) rapidly.

This is a dull looking and bad sounding game. I liked the platforming and the squirrel glitch was pretty entertaining, but the slow tutorial levels and croc/bird punching minigames hurt the pace of the run. I don't think this game could make for a good TAS, but I'll give it a Meh vote.

At about 0:45 you're running straight into a wall, and after glitching through it, you run straight into the pipe and stop your forward movement for a moment.
That's quite an interesting game, go on with it.
Its a know unoptimsation
Aren't you going to fix the unoptimized parts before you submit the run? I watched it again and it looked like there were some parts that could be faster.

Instead of having the Innovative TAS award as something that is given to a TAS every year through voting, what about making a new group for innovative movies, like the special stars and notable publication moons? Then movies could be added into that group that were innovative at the time, like moons are added for "notable" movies for the time they were published?

The new BizHawk 1.1.1 doesn't read input from GBC games. Game Boy games like Kirby's Dream Land and Game and Watch Gallery work fine, but GBC games like Game and Watch Gallery 3 and SpongeBob: Legend of the Lost Spatula don't respond to button presses, and the input isn't even acknowledged on the input display.

Well, it's a good test run, but if you made mistakes and found shortcuts, it would be a good idea to start over, making sure to optimize everything. Unless you wanted to use that run for your verification movie, which would be a good idea since it's a relatively fast full playthrough.

Thank you for your quick reply, Ilari. The second option would probably be the best, since it would also be the most correct (the first 2 or 3 BizHawk runs used the .tas extension). Are you planning to create a new type code for the new extension, then?

Is this ever going to be fixed? It makes sense for the early BizHawk movies, but not for the runs published after the file extension change. This should be an easy fix, too.
Could someone at least answer instead of just ignoring the question?

I'm excited that this run is finally being done! Before a few weeks ago, we just kept hearing "it'll never get done, they'll never start making the run until every single star is completely optimized". We must be near that point now, and that's amazing. This TAS will be the culmination of 7 years of work on this game! Definitely a movie that will be worthy of a star.

Sounds like a good reason to use SRAM to me. Is there a hard mode? If there is one that's unlocked after the first time you finish the game, you could use that for your run, and you'd have two reasons to start from save data.
And yes, it would be a good idea to post the tricks you know and the route you're thinking of while you're waiting to be ungrounded.

You mean just to test it out, right? That could be interesting. It wouldn't be something you could actually submit, though, since it's not solely controller input.
