First off, you can upload your vbm file to http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php if you'd like as well... that way critiquing the run will be easier as with avi's it's pretty much guesswork. Overall I think it looks good for a first attempt. The first level appears to be fairly trivial from a route-planning perspective as it requires no backtracking. You already mentioned level 3 so I won't bug you about that :) Level 2 seems like it could be improved by getting that top row of dots earlier on so you don't have to backtrack as much at the end. 4 & 5 looks good superficially to me, though I would bet there are improvements to be made... I don't know if you've seen the thread on the NES version which was for just the first level, but Randil managed to squeeze quite a few frames out of it after several revisions: http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5431&highlight= One other thing: why give yourself the maximum number of lives? This seems to contradict your choosing the hardest difficulty...

This game seems to have some potential... will you post a WIP? At first I thought the youtube video was the TAS, and was going to admonish you to use more save states :) This will require some pretty intense route planning... good luck!

Eh, I like the analogy of live performing vs studio recording better (as brought up by Blargg (sp?) before).

That screenshot is terrible. (Not that I have any better suggestions.)

Beautiful improvement, and a big cheer to Lord Tom and Mitjitsu. Also, I'm excited to update this.

If you think I am setting the precedent to publish movies that have known improvement then you would be....right. I don't know if you noticed but things have gotten more lax on TASvideos regarding that.
... Well, that says it all, really. The site has begun a slow decline. Wonderful.
I will go ahead and say that when I read Mr. Delikat's statement I had the completely opposite reaction. Hurrah for being more open to entertaining content!

These: http://tasvideos.org/Alden/GoldenOldies.html Though it should be expanded quite a bit :) Also JXQ's old SM 100% run with the fancy input display animations.

I'm sorry, but I'm still seeing this as a publication being made for the sole reason that this is the first DS TAS ever, disregarding any quality standards and rules.
I agree. If this were any other movie it would have been rejected by now. On the point of sloppiness... every single movie on this site can be improved, and is therefore "sloppy". Granted, we don't always know HOW to improve them. But I don't see the harm in doing as Bisqwit suggests: publish an improvable movie and replace it when it is improved. We don't provide visitors to this site some sort of magical perfection, we provide them entertainment.

I say go for it [publication]. If the movie is sloppy, it gives the newcomers (or anyone else) another TAS they can try to beat! :)
I agree; in fact, to the untrained eye this movie does not look "sloppy". Of course, that argument has been made for several movies to no avail.

At 100% speed, when I set the volume to 0, then save and load a state, it reverts to full volume.

Found by http://www.google.com/alerts Mostly blag spam with a bunch of "TAS IZ CHEATZ" but once in a while it's cool.

Thanks for tubin', I've been too lazy to fire up the emulator (ComicalFlop is right!). Kind of amusing, probably moreso to someone who is not familiar with what is terribly simple to do in a TAS. Kind of reminds me of Wheel of Fortune. Will have a home in Gruefood Delight in any case :D

I'd give a weak no to 4 options, and a meh to 5.
