Can this be improved? Yes. But it's still a very entertaining run and until someone improves it I think this should be published.

Yes vote! Great to see a run for this game, one of the first games I owned on the NES. I never finished the game on a real NES and my emulator always froze on the first boss fight, so good to see the ending for the first time. I never knew back then I made it all the way to the final boss. Thanks!

Voted Meh. It was entertaining, but since this is not a real game but just a prototype, I'm not sure if it should be published.

Slower than the published run, so voting No is the only option.

So... this TAS is 6 minutes slower than the 2-player run ?! Voted Meh, not sure if this should be accepted or not.

Voted no, there was no entertainment value. If I remember correctly from the Brain Age 1 TAS (or the cancelled BA 2 TAS?), there was some freaky stuff going on in the piano part, for example. Here it just played the notes. The same goes for the sums, no amazing pictures but just drawing the answer instead.

I've seen the first 15 minutes so far: great run, and great commentary!

Voted no, since in my opinion it doesn't add anything to the SNES version.

Yeah, I use different names on different websites :) I'm glad I could be of help! I can confirm that 0x531 is indeed X velocity related. If you add a cheat with value 1, you will move slowly. If it's 2, you will move right constantly. Etc...

Just noticed your comment "RAM addresses from the game resources page posted by Spinal. I verified them plus found quite a few others." Can you share which others you find so I can add them to the game page?

Ah, okay, didn't know that. I figured when funnyhair said "I remember this game! I have it for the SNES!" that they would be the same.

Is the warping glitch possible in the SNES version? Those Genesis sounds are horrible... Other than that: good run, yes vote.

Faster, a new route, and it's actually watchable? YES!

Voted Meh. Like many posters before me said it's repetitive indeed, and it does not use Spinal. (okay, that last reason is a joke, but a Spinal run would be nice since you can turn into your opponent. Would make it more original imho)

Not an interesting hack, not more entertaining than an ordinary SMB1 run, voting No.

@NitroGenesis: I read that, but I didn't see it was only one day before I posted. Anyway, found the correct rom and watched in an emulator instead. Great run!

Wow, still no encode after 5 days? I didn't expect that for this game... is anyone working on it?

Congrats on the first Wii TAS! Will vote after watching. -edit- easy YES vote, entertaining and well executed!

Slow-paced, but looks well executed. One question though: at around 4.55 till 5.05 you wait next to some flames from a few pixels distance but at 5.10 you wait right next to it. Is that possible to do at the earlier flames? If so, it will save a few frames :)

There already is an NES TAS of Tiny Toons Adventures. Is this the same game or something different? Never mind, looks like it is different. Waiting for encode.
