....This game is like my second language
not only playing with HARD setting characters (no such thing as difficulty in areas)
but also a beg. and a medium (normal) mode for both any% and 100% mode run
dont forget about arcade mode....
The speedrun on SDA I could've beat also RTA as Crash ALSO PAL and I'm only 5 mins off his Dingodile run which is a different mode altogether.
as soon as I can figure out how to get the psx emulator working properly I will be doing a tas under Normal mode adventure as Crash bandicoot

It's a little difficult to tell, but just based on the video something didn't seem right with water levels 2, 13, and 17. A few places going around corners and changing directions didn't seem optimal. Like hugging a wall or swinging wide around a corner. I was wondering if the idea of the Jumping off Ledges common trick applies. Meaning cutting the corner as close as possible at full speed.
In levels 6, and 11 it looked like you had to wait for a log to move, and the waiting was done hugging the log. I wondered if you'd be faster getting a run at it and timing it so you get there at full speed just as the log moves out of the way.
I did all water levels at full speed since I have speedrun it before at full speed non tas (didnt upload that to youtube though :/ i have another video instead).
Did alot of save states there. nothing helped.

I can assist with moral support and feedback along the way if you want to try again.
please do. I'm probably going to do a walkathon next as i am quite blank on how to improve this (- missing tons of stuff for no reason but to dodge them)

2. You just admitted yourself that it's boring.
I didnt admit that it was boring a few of us (Youtubers not anyone on Tasvideos) watched this run in a call they liked it and they didnt get bored at all.

There are too many air stages though...
* In stage 3, you have to pause to get through a 2x2 pile of blocks, because you're up against them before you jump and spin. Why not just bounce off the TNT block to their left and spin during that bounce?
* In stage 17, it looks like you take too much time moving far away from obstacles instead of approaching enemies more closely.
* In stage 18, you wait a long while before you start firing at the first midboss. It seems you should be able to fire much sooner, take a whole bunch of damage, and then heal at the first health block afterward.
* In stage 20, you slide past one piston, but your slide ends too early so that you have to spend a lot of time crawling. It seems faster to walk under the piston and start your slide later.
* There's also the issue with missed shots in the air stages that Warepire mentioned.
Yeah I agree with the amount of air stages making them ententaining is hard
Stage 3: Taken to account
Stage 17: I think i know what you mean
Stage 18: I start shooting when I was dodging obviously shooting the good damn planes wouldve been faster
Stage 20: Couldnt find at what point but I think I know where you mean where I got damage abuse late
Missing air shots at the non blimps health were deliberate I just was trying to tune with the song.
Take note: I did Dingodile a hell loads faster than before

Side note: This is the fastest I can go for this game if your recomending me hitting Huge Adventure I will decline as XS is known to be faster (even with the language selection)

I'll make a Youtube encode for this when the final input file becomes available.
I already am encoding this tool-assisted speedrun. I was told to wait for the new version (which tasvideos should allow in edit and updated encode but obviously they haven't done that).

I just finished making final adjustments to my TAS, but don't know how I can attach it so that a moderator would be able to replace the file. Could I get some help? I really don't want to cancel another submission.
Anyways, the new version is 104737, which is 321 frames (5.3 seconds) faster.
Cancel this as you have obsoleted your own run and it makes it easier for the encoders cause I am still planning to encode this when you post the updated version

To Spikestuff. I will try to update this submission to make some improvements suggested to me by Nitrodon. You may want to hold off on the encoding until that update.
Dont know why you didn't use edit..... but anyway I will hold off I might upload this one as a WIP submition

You beat a TAS record without Frame Advance? You seem good at this game. Do you have this game for real? Maybe you could try recording it, and submitting to SDA (Assuming you have a Gameboy player, as I don't think SDA accepts emulator runs). ;)
Dont forget with only slide. Yes I do own a legit copy of this game I think my speedrun time was 44minutes so I'm thinking of revisiting that as a nontas run. Yes I know who sda is a speedrunner bet my time of 1hr20minutes on Crash Tram Racing With Crash Bandicoot throughout the adventure (the record has dingodile). Once I get use to frame advance especially with ngin and the blimps I will being a new Tas but for now I'll Be doing some RTA's on Crash XS and cause I'm clocking near 7mins Tetris Party deluxe on Wii

The run doesn't seem like it is frame precise. =/
Speaking of which, did you use Frame Advance for the entire run, or for only parts of the run?
I tried a all out non frame advance..... Just writing that makes me feel silly =/ anyway run is canceled and I will be fixing it after school exams (im in Australia and we have exams now -_-)

You missed a spin attack on a shark in the first scuba level costing you a mask (for a TAS this is really sloppy), for all scuba levels you seem to have problems staying in an optimal direction, you often take corners way too loosely.
I used damage to go through and pass another obstical also in the way

In the first blimp level you miss shots. In a TAS you do not want to miss shots unless you are going to write something funny in downtime, manipulate luck or use it to increase your speed in any other way. (I.e.: Missed shots need a purpose). Since it's practically an auto-scroller a tip for entertainment is to go for 100% kills and all boxes.
Yes I do agree I could've used frame step at certain points in blimp level I just waited so I screwed around in there cause of how long it is to get to another blimp.

In level 16 you missed a body slam.... Later you waited unnecessarily long at a boxwall (double highjump lets you jump 4 boxes).
I see what you mean where i abused aku in the wrong spot.
the other 2 levels you wrote about I cannot find but seeing what you wrote Ill try and fix and do better by also including frame steps

For having messing around with TAS tools a little bit on this game myself, I'm pretty sure that slide-spin is faster than slide-slide, because if you let the slide finish your speed reaches 0 and you have to wait for Crash to stand up before sliding again.
Actually from looking at wwmarx he does use slide only this is my own fault for not getting the slides correct and to slide-spin actually makes it feel slower as I observed closely to Turbofa's run
about the encoding part I know without a doubt that youtube is stuffed up for some reason. Long story short I uploaded it to youtube for 8 hours and for some stupid glitched up reason it failed so Ill find another method for better use for now.

Shouldn't this be fairly basic route-planning? Working out the best places to lose Aku in order to save time?

Yes part of the lose of aku but majority of the run it was used in the correct places just probably the way I typed it.
The only time I did need frame-advance was During Ngin I forgot about it during the run till I started mucking aronud. I do infact lose aroun 15seconds there

In the comparison video your level 1 is slower, but you catch up later. Could you make improvements? Ore are all the differences based on yours being the Europe version?
Is the first boss fight fixed, or could you luck manipulate the spikes into falling faster?
I decided to grab aku aku this is what i used to use damage in the next area to speed up a bit.
Dingodile's steps were faster in the european version therefore making his shots faster. If i remember correctly all boss fights are faster on the European version that is the reason I chose it.
