Hey, I just saw the new Kid Chameleon run put up on SDA, and it encouraged me to look for this forum. Are there any plans to submit this new Any% route? I don't know if there was firm consensus on it being called an in-game cheat... I think that run would be fine as a separate category on this site.

Nice, definitely one of the better arcade games of its kind. I was mostly familiar with Root Beer Tapper, so it was funny to see how heavily the Budweiser advertising was displayed. My only complaint is that you never get a stage difficult enough where you have to revisit an aisle. This run is so fast that it shows no real room for strategy or quick reactions. It seems like you need to put more effort into manipulation of victory celebrations than into playing the main game, but that's the game's fault and not yours. Yes vote.

Thank you for the encode, Dimon! It has an audio desync, though, where the sound is ahead of the video. It was still good enough to understand the run. I don't remember the previous run very well, and I'm not sure which parts changed from that run. But this run still looks very good, and I'm glad there's more work on this underappreciated game. Yes vote.

Could anyone please make an encode of this? It doesn't have to be YouTube or even on a streaming site at all. Thanks in advance!

Well, that turned out short and confusing. I liked the SNES version of this that you and Brandon ran, but this GB version looks like a real POS. One concern though: the way you describe these glitches makes them sound like built-in debugging tools for the programmers, sort of like the debug menu in Earthbound or the GT code in Super Metroid. If that is the case, then they may be classified as cheats and be disqualified. (But that's not completely clear-cut either, as the two examples I mentioned demonstrate.)

Wow, it's crazy when you come back to improve your own run ten years after the fact. The last amoeba stage still has a lot of downtime, but you've made that level tolerable now. I wish I could really appreciate how tight the timing and strategies are on so many levels, but it's awesome again to see how you dart in and out without getting crushed. Yes vote.

This game is pretty underappreciated: good map design, variety of turtle abilities, great music, and bosses without stunlock where you have to carefully learn their AI. Good job with the run too!

Good job saving so much lag! However, I only voted Meh because most of the platforming got very repetitive. Boss fights look pretty good, but they don't help the entertainment value enough. Question: how do you decide on bombs versus the BOW for boss fights?

Wow. Somehow I had a feeling that when you were attacking old adelikat runs, you might get around to this. Adelikat warned that he pitied the soul who tried wrestling with the luck manipulation here, but it seems like you succeeded. I voted Yes here, though honestly, it's not a terribly entertaining game to watch. But I found it interesting knowing how well-manipulated this was, and there is some good shooting in the two encounters you get into.

I wasn't expecting to like this kind of game very much, but the stages got much more complicated after the first couple. This is a solid run!

This is also Coinless, Cannonless, Capeless. (Bad reference to a Super Mario 64 speedrun category.) It's nice to see this game get polished up, after all the attention the Genesis version has been getting. I haven't played this game myself, so I don't get as much of a feeling of imminent danger from all the enemy dodging Aladdin has to do without the cape. But this run moves along pretty well; it's just a shame how much less impressive the Genie stage looks without the cape. Yes vote, and I'd love to see improvements to the caped categories by our famous caped crusader. (Ok, that's a different reference entirely :-) ).

In general, you would want to look at the pages at http://tasvideos.org/GameResources.html However, I don't see one for The Little Mermaid there. I looked at the previous publications for the NES version as well. McBobX's current run mentions a strategy change on the Walrus fight, but I don't know if that applies to this run. The previous publication by AnS has comments here: http://tasvideos.org/1062S.html He mentions a trick involving pressing A at the right times to pick up objects without slowing down. Perhaps something like that is useful here, I'm not sure. I'm sorry I didn't catch this run on a forum thread earlier; I've only been able lately to watch the submission queue these days. In any case, you did a good run, and until someone actually demonstrates significant improvements, I'd say this should be published.

Honestly, I'm not sure if L+R is what does that in the NES run. I thought it did. I believe there's a Tricks page for the NES run, and you should see if those tricks work on the GB version too if you haven't already. Nice Kid Dracula icon, by the way.

Not bad! This seems to be basically the same as the NES run but with worse graphics and sound. Your boss fights seem pretty good to me, but I'm not really familiar with the game's randomness. The NES run has a couple tricks to keep momentum, like quick turnarounds (I think it's because of Left + Right). Does anything like that work in the GB version? It looks like you lose time every time you want to change direction.

I cannot view this without an encode, but I am super excited to see such a big improvement on a Metal Slug run! Thank you so much, HappyLee, for working on a comparison encode. I'll be patient.

Thanks for the encode. This version is MUCH faster than the SMS version. It's good to see smart damage boosts, and I'm really glad this version doesn't have a boring waiting room in the lava stage. Nice job!

Really strong improvement! I sort of miss seeing any semblance of gameplay in 3-1, but the new zips are pretty awesome. As AngerFist said, this game has come a long way since the first runs.

Nice submission. I admit, though, that I was more excited when I saw it was an Alex Kidd game than when I actually watched the run. This feels less like Alex Kidd (especially with no rock-paper-scissors matches) and more like a bad version of Adventure Island with screeches of "Aaaahh!" and "Find the missing ball!" And why is there a space area called "Ziggurat" with no ziggurats and some random Statue of Liberty? It's a real shame the game needed as much trial and error as you say largely just to manage lag. I don't know if the end result was really all that interesting. I actually found the water stages to be the best with more freedom of motion and more "shoot anything that moves" attitude. The game grew on me a bit more in the second half, but ultimately I think this counts as another run-right-for-justice generic platformer. I have to vote No: it was a good run, but I was not really entertained enough.

Ignoring any debate about comments versus subtitles: Amazing improvement, Dooty! Donald looks incredibly fast now. Dracula's castle and that long green plunger flight in the Arctic are a lot more entertaining. Question: why is the popcorn much faster than the bubbles for the Viking ghost fight? Don't the shots land at the same time either way after the first shot? It seems like you lose time on the tiger boss with this change of ammo.

Nice job with the run! I don't have any specific points I recall as being much more interesting to show, but the run looks quite smooth. The weapon management feels more complicated for this game than for other GB Megaman games, especially since the game is so laggy, so no plan ever really feels optimal to me. I liked how you would occasionally bring out the Ballade Cracker in the last stages to take out occasional enemies, and I'm surprised Stone Man's weapon is effective to use on some bosses despite its lag.

Why should they? I don't think any future improvements are suggested. The author said that they were unable to manipulate invincibility stars in a way that would save time. So, unless someone produces a surprise improvement (which does happen sometimes), we should consider this run as a final product. Nobody, I think, has announced intentions to improve it currently.

Voting No because you didn't use Tum-tum as well; the game does seem to have a 3-player option. ... Just kidding. (Someone voted No, but it wasn't me.) I voted Meh. This looks like a solid enough platformer with run-right-for-justice being the usual plan. The stages where you search for 8 objects could have been more interesting if the objects had actually been better scattered around the stage. The wallzips are neat, and the bosses are quick, but it's not enough to make this interesting enough to make me vote Yes.

Since you have to lose all your lives in the carpet ride stage, would it be faster to die in earlier stages by falling into pits? I feel like you'd be able to respawn faster by losing your lives in earlier stages.

I was going to improve Kid Dracula for GB. It seems I was beaten to it, though, with a recent awesome run by Hetfield90 and StarvinStruthers. (http://tasvideos.org/2928M.html.)

Great improvement! I really like the health management. I also saw some nice little changes, like using the box after the P door and the changed use of the umbrella to keep momentum. I also like how you brought back the belly dance that Cardboard used in the first cutscene. It's a shame that stars could not be manipulated in time, but this is still entertaining.
