The tactic I have so far on the skeleton is: Slash with sword before he starts to talk, shoot bombarrows so he has one hit left, and on the last hit you lay a bomb instead of a bombarrow. And so far that I know so isn't there any bosses that you can save time on... The only thing that works on buss 5 is the sword, so far I know. The Face Key boss need a total of 12 arrows, and you won't earn that many. And there are no enemies either I think...

ThiefAlucard in Youtube has now wrote a comment that it wasn't him who made the video. But this is what he said about Phil's Turtle 4 video: "For the first. I used an emulator but I didnt save stats. Nobody saves stats that is boring. I played trough the game without saving once. So dont say you know everything when you didnt do the run. Or because you cant do the run." And as the rule says, he should be banned for this.

You could have jumped on a few more koopas so you get more points, and it looks more entertaining too:). And if you jump on the last moving platform from the vine a little earlier I'm sure a 257 is possible. Nice vid anyway! About Choco 4... I haven't been able to keep the P-speed from start. But I think it's possible.

Just finished a 261 as well, using the pipe. I do think a 262 is possible, but I'm not going to try anymore at that now.

I have been working with nearly every map, so yes. But I did never finish it. The only I did was the beginning which I posted for you on SDA. And no, I'm not working with Choco Secret anymore:). As you already have a good time. But I can point out possible improvements to your movies!

After the first jump over the first beetle you are indeed losing you P-speed, but you get it again very fast though. Watch again with slowmotion if you don't belive me:). EDIT: Oh, didn't see your post Fabian. Actually, I've always thought that the non-key route seems very slow and long... I shall try some to see if I can find something better.

I wrote a comment at the Circle of the Moon video: "Only so you know guys, it was NOT ThiefAlucard who made this movie. He haven't made any of the movies that he has uploaded on youtube. They are all from www.tasvideos.org. And the movies are done on an emulator, using save states and slowmotion." I'm thinking about posting the same at some more places too. What do you think...?

Actually he acts like he did the Castlevania Circle of the Moon TAS: "Because I got God's gift. :P Joking because it's a glitch." And all who posts comments think it was him who made it. Even if the persons nick stands in the beginning of the movie...

I have got a faster beginning than you have, but it's also much harder. Check this movie http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/1550/choco%20secret.smv That way is a littler faster than jumping on the spring. I haven't ran the whole way yet. But mostly I'm using the same tactic as you. But I keep my P-speed at the beetles in beginning and I'm not losing it in the end either. Just jump up at the checkpoint and you can reach the pipe with P-speed.

You stole my route then! You ******! Haha, I don't care really :D. You are doing good movies! Edit: I'm also trying on Choco secret now. Let's see what times we will get, hehe.

Same time as me on Choco 2, Thegreginator. But I used the colored blocks in the end, which was cheating... And you were also using the same tactic as me on Choco 1. I think of a possible improvement. Why not use the P-block and jump on it while in the air so you don't need to take the pipe? Not sure it's faster though. Good job you too Fabian. I really looking forward to this run. (As you said that you were going to use a lot of bugs :D:D *lol*.)

There are a lot of levels that I find hard as well. Were some that I could never beat... I have finished the game, but not 100% yet. I started to rewatch your run, JXQ and Fabian. I'm just as impressed that regular, great run!

Because the ghost won't appear then. That's why you shall take the boss later. Your segment looks good. Only thing that you could to faster is the bug I made when getting the Mambo (If you watch my 100% you'll see...) You can float in the air while they are dancing so you get closer to the exit. Be in the air when start talking to them, swing you sword to the left and press left. (I think it's something like that anyway, hehe.)

Really funny commentary, laughed quite a lot :D :D. And the "thing" in Star Wars is called Jabba the Hutt. I guess it was him you were thinking about anyway..

Read the FAQ now: "I registered an account but did not receive the confirmation e-mail! You can use this form to delete the account so you can re-register. Note though that if you didn't receive the email the first time it will probably not succeed the second time either so you should really try another email address." Have to create a new email then, *sigh*... EDIT: I wrote my email again to try to "recover the account". This time I got an email, but only with information about my account; username and a new password. But I still haven't been able to register my account so I can't still log in...

I have registered on the site, but I never get an Email from them so I can activate my account... How long time does it take? I've always got the email at once after registered, but now it seems to take years, oh well.

Very good. Let's run like crazy to dungeon 4 :D. EDIT: One thing just come up in my head... You can skip the text in the beginning of every dungeon by pressing start. Like in dungeon 2 you could have pressed start in the beginning and switched to the powder, this earns some sec.

Oh, totally missed that you didn't use one more bomb on the knight, shall update my post right away. Ok, I will change to your version and calculate the bombs/arrows again:). EDIT: In dungeon 6... you can use the hookshot to press the first switch if that is faster. It saves a bomb and with that I may figure out a better route for them. EDIT 2: Ok, the route is now updated a bit more. EDIT 3: Haha, found a new bug. I got two Angler Keys http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/1521/Two%20Angler%20keys.vbm When the text that said I had got the key disappeared the key fell down. I still got the key in my inventory, but there is still one more. If you are able to it you can do so in your run, that the key falls down after the text. Another edit: When coming back to Angler's Cavern; you can use three bombarrows to kill him really quick. Two bombarrows can hit him before he starts to speak, hehe.

Looks very good. I hope you are able to use the "double bomb" glitches and kill the Angler's Key boss. You can kill him with either 2 bombs, 2 arrows or 8 slashes with the sword. A bomb does 5 damage and an 4. But if you aren't able to kill him with "a" double bomb you can use one bomb, one charge with the sword and one regular hit. Bombarrows would have been the best thought... I need to change some things in the bomb/arrow using then. EDIT: Bah, I have forgot to add one thing to my bomb/arrow using. I've totally missed the last bombwall you blow to get the last key in Key Cavern. Have to change some more things then. Let's see... EDIT 2: Have updated it again. Here is the new use:
(20) Bombs and (20) Arrows at start. The (19) is how many you got left. Overworld = 1 bombarrow (19 bombs 19 arrows) for pig. Kanalet = 4 arrows for Bomb Enemy (15) 1 bombarrow and one arrow (18 bombs 13arrows) for hidden knight. 2 arrows(11) for ball%chain enemy. D3 = 3 bombs(15) for mini boss. 1 bombarrow(14 bombs 10arrows) for knightmare key. 1 bomb(13) for Clock Bombs here you will get three new bombs(16). One bombarrow for wall (15 bombs 9 arrows). Overworld = Set a bomb(14) and kill the moldorm with sword. D4 = 1 bombarrow(13 bombs 8 arrows) to blow bombblock. D5 = Tactic for Skeleton Master: Phase 1: Lay bomb, slash him into it, shoot an bombarrow and lay another bomb. Phase 2 and 3: Lay bomb and slash him into it and lay another bomb. Phase 4: Lay bomb, slash him into it and two bombarrows. 1 bomb refill that you shall take. Just one room away Left-Up-Right from second Skeleton Knight. (12 bombs and 5 arrows left.) D6 = Bomb(11) switch (If it's faster with hookshot glitch, use that instead) bombarrow(10 bombs 4 arrows) wall, bombarrow moldorm and lay a bomb for the wizzrobes (8 bombs 3 arrows) use Hookshot glitch so you don't need to bomb switch again (Not needed but if it is faster you shall do it) , arrow and bombrefill (18 bombs 13 arrows). When you lift the jar to open the door, take one bomb (19). 2 bombarrows (17 bombs 11 arrows) to kill wizzrobes to get a key, use hookshot glitch to take a shortcut through the dungeon and skip the miniboss. 2 bombarrows for rabbits (15 bombs and 9 arrows) 6 bombs (9) to kill the mini mini boss. Go and get the nightmare key and jump down to get the key from the chest then teleport back to start. Go left and back to the switch room, continue to the room with the arrow refill and Wizzrobes, take the arrows (21). Go back to the right and up the stairs. Do the Hookshot glitch again to get down to the jar and horseheads. Go right and continue to the boss room. Kill him with 5 bombs (4). Overworld = 1 bombarrow to get into Flame cave (3 bombs 20 arrows) D8 = 1 bombarrow (2 bombs 19 arrows) for switch room. Shoot the switch with an arrow (18) 2 bombarrows (0 bomb 16 arrows) needed for walls. 1 arrow(15) for statue to get key. Go down and get the bombs/arrows refills. (10 bombs 25 arrows) D7 = 2 bombarrows (8 bombs 24 arrows) to get to the last pillar. D4 = For the boss you can use three bombarrows to kill him really fast (5 bombs and 21 arrows). Last boss = 16 arrows (5 arrows left)
Another thing that I started to think about: Have you calculated how many enemies you shall kill to get a PoP where you need it most? I haven't given this so many thoughts...

You should use S&Q after obtaining the Key 4, so you can skip the stupid owl.

For some reason mupen crashes all the time at start when Zelda is riding away from Ganondorf... Both when I'm trying to watch the movie and when playing myself. I redownloaded mupen and the rom, but still got the same problem. Anyone know how to fix this?
