I also agree and GoddessMaria’s posts about the subject matter. It was uncomfortable for me and I was too uncomfortable to speak up.

Feel like I should get this on the record. Challenger mentioned that it is possible to grab the shield item in an earlier stage, which could lead to more time saved. This is something I would like to investigate the next time I TAS this game. Can’t say it’s going to be immediate, but it definitely is on my to-do list.

According to the submission notes, [6749] INTV Astrosmash "maximum score" by Winslinator in 11:49:16.24 used ChatGPT as well. Just thought I'd bring it up.

Between all these discoveries, I am currently about 5 seconds ahead of your movie heading into level 18. Do you mind if I finish my improvement, share it here, and request coauthorship?
Yeah, of course!

I have difficulties sync-verifying this submission (latest userfile): the run clicks (582, 555) to start the game, but the game window is only 500x375, so it misses the "start game" button.
That's weird. It seems to sync fine on my end. Sometimes LibTAS launches Ruffle with a toolbar at the top (it has Display and Debug option in it). Maybe that's what is causing the desync?

Out of curiosity I tried TAS-ing independently and saved 35 frames. I'd like to optimize a bit more but it's a low priority for me, so feel free to continue from here: User movie #639164263977360001
Any updates on this?

Is being called transphobic worse than being transphobic?

While understandable, the chaos can get a bit distracting, though for me it makes it look non-special, it could just as well have been a regular speedrun. A TAS is supposed to stick out more, whenever possible, to make it really feel like a TAS. I’m completely missing that here.
I, personally, didn’t care for the constant egg-bouncing in the SNES TASes.

To answer some of your questions: I also would rather consider it baseline rather than ACE, but I’m not too familiar with what’s going on there, so I didn’t bother to correct Tegron or anything. I have seen the GBA Secret levels TAS. I guess the wall-jumps completely slipped my mind. In any case, I have been unable to successfully replicate a wall-jump. I don’t like how you’re suggesting that I didn’t do any research because that simply isn’t true. I used the resources page and referenced various RTA runs and the SNES TAS. Like I said, we’re new to this and more concerned about actually finishing a run. 1-1: Lack of experience. 1-2: Didn’t think about using the first post. 1-7: Tegron noticed this. I asked how to do this, but didn't get a response. Figured the timesave was inconsequential and didn't press on.

Me personally, I wanted to prioritize speed over entertainment. That and the fact that Tegron and I are both new to TASing Yoshi’s Island specifically.

Finally got around to playing this game I bought almost five years ago. I'm interested in TASing this. Some memory addresses I found: * X position - 8037C830 * Y position - 8037C838 * Z position - 8037C834 * X speed - 8037C83C * Y speed - 8037C844 * Z speed - 8037C840 I don't believe this game uses pointers for these. User file for the position/speed display. Edit: It's also worth mentioning that RTA speedrunners use a completed file that allows them to skip cutscenes and have Nemo's dash unlocked from the very start. Personally, I'd rather do the TAS from clean SRAM.

I'm confused. How did you improve this?

I thought you said this uses some of my inputs. In that case, why am I not listed as an author?

Hey thanks! I’m certain there’s still more time to save, just nothing’s coming to me at the moment. Feel free to contribute if you’d like. Alternatively, I know RetroEdit has talked about wanting to get a 100% TAS. Maybe that’s something we could all look into?

Is this program available to use? It would help massively with some picross TASes I'm making.

If it involves picking the first teams that appear on the menus, let me just say that I intentionally chose the Edmonton Oilers and would prefer that team being used for the publication.
