Nice work dnnzao. Why did you guys do dp1b and ds1b first? That backtracking from dsh to dp1 looks superfluous, because they can be done with smaller amount of backtracking on the second path following special world.
I would like to see the GBA version with all Dragon Coins + All Exits. Otherwise, the SNES version is superior.
So nothing happens at the end if you get all of the Dragon Coins? That makes it sound like an arbitrary goal, and I don't think it would be accepted.
[quote="dnnzao"I know about the GBA version, but I hate that game, it sucks in so many ways. Plus ISM already did a run for All Yoshi's Coin on GBA :/
What's the point of getting all of the Dragon Coins? Does the ending change at all? I think it will be entertaining to watch nonetheless, even on YouTube. But I'm not sure about the goal choice.
Do not do an all Dragon Coins run on the SNES version. Few levels have them, and it's not even saved after a soft reset. If you're going to do an all Dragon Coins run, do it on the GBA - it's one of the few things that makes it really unique over the SNES version. The GBA version has 5 Dragon Coins in all 72 (?) main levels except Bowser's Castle, they're saved permanently to the save file, and a special cutscene is displayed upon getting all 360 (?) of them. Also, some of the Dragon Coins, especially in the later levels, are in out-of-the-way areas so such a run would display more of the game.
Hey guys! Thought I would post a heads up on what's going on currently... As you may know, bahamete, Kaizoman, and myself are currently working on a refined any% run using this new strategy. However, I would like to introduce Mister to the team!! He has contributed much to Yoshi Island 1 as well as many minor improvements within our run. It is an honor to have him a part of this project :) Progress is going great now, as we finally reach Yoshi's Island 1. Even though there were a few bumps along the way, I am proud to announce that we are currently 24 frames ahead of our previous run as of the exit of Yoshi's Island 3, thanks to further optimizations throughout those two levels. This gives us a little "cushion" for the sub 10 minute mark, since I am almost positive we will lose some time later through the run due to Super Mario's World annoying yet infamous frame rules (as seen in our previous run). Expect more updates in the near future!!
As I stated a few pages ago, it takes about 20 minutes before PI becomes useful.
nice mister, i made a(nother) new smv: http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/636835003/smw%20world%201%20%5B5.11.11%5D.smv we are now exactly 1236 frames better :D
I attacked yi1 again in a different way which I thought of when I was in the bathroom.
The emulators on the Emulator Resources page are the ones with rerecording implemented. They tend to contain the most functionality. http://tasvideos.org/EmulatorResources.html The currently fastest run of Super Mario Bros would be listed on the Movies page. http://tasvideos.org/Movies.html NES Super Mario Bros (JPN/USA PRG0) in 04:57.31 by Lee (HappyLee). Please do not submit anything slower than this in the any% category. Feel free to post any progress here for feedback. Please look around the site a bit before asking such obvious questions next time.
