I'm iffy on the VBA-Next / no BIOS thing, especially given the reasoning for it (a skip that only seemed to work once on standalone VBA that isn't even used in this TAS). It's not strictly against the rules, but a future run/improvement should be on the mGBA core with the BIOS just for consistency's sake.
My mom’s birthday was a few days ago, but we celebrated late so we could do it on a day we weren’t busy.
I made some applesauce cake for her. (The frosting melted a bit because I put it on before it completely cooled)
Shouldn't it be the exact reverse? I mean in the cases of runs that have been console-verified? Shouldn't it be the console version that's considered the main primary version, with perhaps an ancillary version of the run that has been "fixed" to run on the emulator, if necessary?
Watching this movie was a great trip down memory lane. It was entertaining to watch things I have missed 6 years ago. I can't believe I forgot I could jump down the small platforms in 5-2.
Unrelated to the movie, but something I think deserves to be mentioned: a prototype that contains the full version of Thriller was found in 2018.
You can use a dev-intended moonwalk if you hold down the sparkle button (we've just been holding down left and right for the other ones), and this allows us to move through spider webs at full speed. In the cases where this isn't possible, landing from a jump or spinning each grant us a frame of that speed. Additionally, we use the falling-through-platforms glitch. It's neat.
