It is a nice run, but it wasn't very exciting. What Xkeeper said applies for me as well.
But since it wasn't boring (mainly because it is short) I voted meh.
Skipping the sword would be indeed cool, but does it really make a difference if you use deku-stick instead of the sword? Isn't it a bit pointless to trade the sword with the deku-stick? Makes attacking with the deku-stick the run more entertaining?
However it be surely neat to see such a basic item being skipped.
Thanks, it is intended to be so :)

Also, your uphill movement looks fastest (AL 4 frame pause) is this in fact faster than any other method?
That stairs-climbing technique is most likely faster than any other kind of movement (except for black panther of course) as you can use the backdash-speed boost continuesly.
No MUGG, you aren't the only one to like remakes :D
I'm not sure but I think I didn't play the game (I always mix up the names of the Kirby games, Amazing Mirror is the only name I remember), however it might be better to use the remake, because better graphic makes the run more beautiful to watch.
What I however find difficult in Kirby games is that only a small percentage of abilities can be used in a tas. So you should think about what abilities you can use without losing time.
Kirby runs can be very entertaining - if you use as much abilities as possible. Of course that's not only thing to care about, but don't use one ability for the whole run.
I'm now at the high room with those blue crows and archers and already saved ~60 frames over zyggdyps' run.
Improvments were optimization, luck manipulation at creaking skull (saved ~20 frames) and a trick I found at buer (saved ~30 frames).
I'll soon post my progress, however, I won't upload many WIPs, since I try to do some new tricks and want to make the run more exciting...
I found the run pretty cool. It surely was repitive but also interesting to see.
My highlights: Level 3 of World 4 and of course the shell jumping 1ups.
Yes vote.
I vote no because I found it rather boring.
The amount of "interesting" and glitchy parts were pretty small. Besides that I didn't notice many glitches I havn't seen in other runs.
Well, it assigns each memory value a soul drop number, which if I knew what that meant would probably make it easier to find the right value instead of just going around randomly until a soul drops and working from there, which is what I'm doing now?
That won't work. I have already tried. Even if we knew an algorithm which determines if soul is dropped it would be kinda useless. I think that we can't avoid the good ol' brute force method.
Btw, I am about to wright a script which can simulate some key presses. So it would save a hell of work, since it could make that backdash-run itself :)
I consider infinity as a number, but it is not constant. Infinity does not have the same value as infinity.
Then, let X = Y = Infinity. Therefore, X-Y = 0. But, because X = infinity and Y = infinity, and infinity ≠ infinity, we can write X ≠ Y, and therefore X-Y ≠ 0 and 0 ≠ 0. Got any more grains of wisdom?
well, for every frame, there's 2^8 input possibilities, or 256. If you take a video that's 10 minutes long, that's 60fps * 600 sec = 36000 frames, giving you a total number of 9,216,000 different movie possibilities. If you can cull the amount of control input, say, no up+down; or if you give it instructions to watch for certain RAM values- no death, don't pick up a certain item; you could reduce that number to something more manageable.
You're wrong: the number of possibilities is about 10^86696 (BigAl ftw!)
Hi, its me again. Nice movie, good use of glitches and new techniques. However I spotted a couple of mistakes throughout the run, mainly the climbing-up-stairs-parts.
What I want to say on my own run: I love to see the run finished, however I restarted the run at least 5 times, and everytime and new technique made the outdated. So gradually I got annoyed by the game, this is why I didn't anymore for the game.
I hope I will find enough patience one time to start and finish this damn game.
Btw, is this movement in the movie the optimal one?
Cool, news in this topic :D
I've made a table of different variations of the backdash-run thing:

As you might have noticed, this table is written in a simple text editor and looks horrible but I am too lazy to change the format >.<
Ah and btw, I can't download the WIP o.0
