Notes:
  • These are NOT my times. They are Nitsuja's.
  • An asterik (*) indicates a level with known improvements.
I dont know a lot of the improvements to some Zones. So please tell me. Other than that, This should be useful in trying to beat some times. Best of luck to whoever will do the improvements. :)

Im not sure this has been already known, but you could save time in every 2nd Act (Metropolis 3 is the exception.) by having Tails hit the capsule from very far. If you do this, the animals will leave the screen earlier and therefore get to the tally screen faster thus saving a little time. I just wanted to throw that out to you people. ;)

This is a wonderful puzzle game for the Japanese Seganet Service. Gameplay: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSY-_iUrzz4 Anyone interested in making a TAS of it?

Yes Vote. It was nicely done. The wobbling got a little repetitive though and almost half of the run was already shown to us by the any% run. But this wasnt bad enough to take away my yes vote. Great job!

So, Is there still interest of obsoleting Solomon's Key? I remember TASing Room 1 and posting on the forums if anyone wants to start.

Now this is Glitchy! Yes Vote. :) Also, I aggree with mklip in that this run shouldnt be called "glitched". It doesnt seem like a non-glitched run would be interesting enough to warrant a seperate category.

Ah. Of course I have still been interested in this. I thought that you could get over the firefly without a boost. But now youre saying that its faster? Wow. Anyways, I'll see if I could pick this up again after im done with school work and Sparkster. Edit: I cant download the movie. I can download my previous WIP but not your movie. :\ Ill try later.

This means in total I saved 1540 frames (25 seconds + 40 frames) off of Baxter's TAS of this game!
Nice! It looks like its shaping up to be real good. Its a shame though that the zipping didnt save a lot of time though. It would be really cool if there were some other shortcuts with it. I liked that you used the Super Arrow screen scroll more. I look foward to seeing this in under 33:00 minutes. ;)

Its parrot14green not parrot14gree. The forum just doesnt allow his name to be in fullness. Anyways, I loved this run. Im very glad that this was submitted. This deserves a huge Yes Vote! Now can you do the any% run too? :3

You should look through both published movies in order to see these glitches. Either that or look back in the topic. Anyways, Hows the work on the improvement going? Its been a while since the update.

That was a good movie. The music was a bit tiresome, but that was ignored due to the entertaining gameplay. Yes vote!

Since the first game has now been submitted, I was wondering if the sequel would be a good game to TAS too. It would probably be about 14-16 min. What do you guys think?

Hi folks. Ive been using Yabause for a while and its time I report the bugs that I have encountered.
  • When playing certaint games, Yabause tends to auto fire certaint things out of reason.
  • A whole movie got erased when I was creating a TAS.
  • A desynch issue involving lag.
These were the only few bugs I have found. Almost all of which were fixed by reopening the emulator. I hope these get fixed soon.
