You didn't perform it on -2. Have a look at how HappyLee performs it there.

You didn't. You can compare it yourself by using something like viewsync. You're roughly seven seconds slower, and missing out on a lot of documented tricks such as Flagpole glitch. Please just upload this to the userfiles.

Hello Zain, This is your third submission and I wished that you took to heart what others have requested on your previous works, but probably what's more important is to check if there's pre-existing runs that you can chase after: [6612] GBC Super Mario Bros. Deluxe "warps" by KingKappa & Shot313 in 04:57.38 It's great that you are making runs, but please take your time and use the tools available to you in BizHawk and use the userfiles. Go again when you've optimized all you can, and when you are able to beat all existing records.

Hello Zain and welcome to TASVideos! Unfortunately your TAS is slower than the WR RTA run that clocks in at 2 minutes 48 seconds. As a quick time comparison this submitted TAS is roughly a minute slower in RTA timing to the WR RTA run. Please take your time and use the tools available to you in BizHawk and use the userfiles. Go again when you've optimized all you can. Edit: If you need clear footage to compare against, second place has a much cleaner capture thanks to emulation use. And it's only 2 seconds slower than WR, so it's still a great comparison.

It was rejected on the premises that there was hardly any differences compared to the example that you provided which has a major bug found in the PAL release. This was eventually placed into Playground, and now being reevaluated again after some time has passed and where the rules should place it in favor compared to other titles that have been recently published that technically has minimal differences, but enough to warrant a Publication. Anyways, this'll probably get accepted, so... 👍 ^{GBA Classic NES Super Mario Bros. when?}

Sorry for the confusion, but when you pull this video up next against #5617: HappyLee's NES Super Mario Bros. (Europe) "warps" in 04:55.16 it's slower. But the time you have, versus the time that HappyLee has is a difference of 24 seconds with you ahead, so what's up with that? ViewSync for the dirty comparison that I did.

Personally I find the usage of an encode with interpolated frames extremely disorienting and had to drop the quality to 480p30 in order to watch it back properly (if I didn't want to watch it back via Dolphin, cause I didn't want to load Dolphin). Can you please provide at the very least an alternative encode that doesn't have this as an unlisted video. Anyways... The TAS itself is enjoyable, with many glitches that were showcased... However it is long, so dunno how many people would turn off from this. It would also help to have an explanation on what's being done to clue in the people that aren't as knowledgeable on the series. Obviously the only way to "improve" on this is to showcase more of how the game is busted, but clocking in at almost 4 hours, this has done plenty. Yes Vote. What would be nice now is to see the original 2013 TAS get improved upon, something that arandomgameTASer was initially working on, but has appeared to stopped showcasing progress on.

> We need the community's opinion on this one It's Playground or Rejected, and considering the last Game Genie rejection was 2021... Playground. Personally I don't think it's interesting using a code that just allows warping anywhere to warrant Playground. It's just technically a cut down version of the Publication but just removing all the good bits about it. Abstained vote, just as another note.

Ok, but that leaves the other issue that was in my comment of;

This was pointing to both Super Bowling and Nester's Funky Bowling just as a note where the standard modes "Turkey Bowl" and "Bowl" respectfully and weren't placed in the branch. But the part that did get addressed was the branch "maximum score" was removed, which I agree with cause it's the wrong name for standard bowling.

"maximum score" isn't branched on most of the bowling TASes. Which is why I nuked it a bit after submission (since none of mine actually holds it^). Some consistency on this bit of the branch would be nice. ^The only standout to what I have, which is branched correctly in terms of bowling terminology is this one: [5104] Genesis Championship Bowling "perfect game" by Spikestuff in 02:34.05 As for the first part of the branch, using the bowling game it's based on it should be called "Standard". As that has "Standard", "Quest" and "Special" (100 pins). Yes, the spelling is different, but worth pointing out. But also same branching issue again. Where the standard gameplay isn't branched for those titles that have "Challenge" or "Golf Mode" as a second movie.

Well you wouldn't have to submit a new movie, you can use the userfiles and linking it back here. But it's all up to you if it warrants it, and if it improves it in any way.

I guess my only question is there is a slight difference between this and the original release. Did you happen to validate if the original release to see if it can give any sort of advantage over this one (even if it has the slightest of RNG)?

Zato ran so Chipp could walk.

Glad that the original movie was improved upon. You just needed to have the right player to play the right character.

The first two titles you mention show up on DOSBox's compatibility list (not DOSBox-X since it doesn't have one) as for Mice Maze it doesn't, but it seems like that is also compatible. You can always just make sure it works yourself. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Honestly. Yeah it should start being distinguished that this is just "injecting Bad Apple!! into everything", since this is now the fifth TAS. I'll put a vote for "arbitrary code execution, Bad Apple!!", but also coming from me of all people this is just turning into "abuse, and boot into video". There's a lack of style and flare going on compared to what MrWint did 8 years ago (and the obsoleted movies), to what Masterjun did 10 years ago, to what Lord_Tom did 9 years ago, and what the original one that started the Bad Apple!! trend with what OnehundredthCoin did. I'm personally going to start voting Meh, and it'll probably start devolving into No votes from me if this "lack of substance" and flare continues.

It wouldn't be considered as the "full game", and wouldn't be publishable, probably playground at the very best. An unfair comparison would be relating it to an RPG that goes by chapters, Mother 3 and Dragon Quest IX as examples or by disk like Final Fantasy IX. More fair in terms of comparison would be comparing to Puzzle Games such as Ghost Trick which goes through its 18 Chapters in a single file, and going down in terms of time there's Professor Layton and its 9 chapters or Dark Tales which goes through 3 stories. If you want to stretch the "chapter" definition, you can compare to a side-scrolling Mario title and refer to a "world" as a "chapter". Personally. I'm really exited about this Canis Canem Edit TAS being done to completion, and hopefully the speedrunning community would be able to get around and find more glitches/tricks to later chapters during that time. So good luck to you malinda and anyone else that joins you on the journey of creating the final TAS.

The Publication information is missing at the very least where to find the non-crust original (YouTube Official) and purchase the album. Since it's considered as copyrighted material. Edit: I also just removed an entire comment here because the info about the song itself is structured weirdly that I pointed it out wrong, even though it was there unorganized. It's like you used what I wrote (which was intended to be used for future cases), rearrange a few things, removed other things that are important like the person's actual name and not in romanization and then placed a bit I missed (mentioning Μμ), but even that last bit is not coherent.
