Is an NTSC movie being made? If it is, it would be really confusing, I think, to have two completely separate game titles for the two versions, or just to have two versions with slightly different descriptions. I'd recommend having "PAL" as the branch name for this one, and we can use "NTSC" for the branch of the other. The movie description will then say a little about why the version choice matters. I could write that description if the publisher doesn't feel like doing it.

I wasn't familiar with this game before, but I am sorry to say that I do not like the way this game looks. The overhead view is pretty disorienting, leading to fewer platforming antics. That one song got repetitive too. You've done a good job turning the game into a glitchy mess and getting through it quickly, but the product isn't as entertaining a run for me. It's definitely a good run, and I'm glad other people like it, but I personally have to go with Meh on this.

I was expecting this to be a really repetitive movie, but I was happy to be proven wrong. The antics between the two players are quite good during waiting times. The coordination between the players at the pipe entrances is impressive. This all added up to a rather pleasant movie. Nice job!

It's good to see this game is supported now. (I didn't even know Atari had anything to shoot like the Zapper for the NES.) It's impressive how much work went into optimizing this. However, the run just isn't interesting. It has two speeds: level 1 passes at an incomprehensible speed, and then levels 2 and 3 consist of a lot of waiting. I couldn't even tell what you were shooting before the little points text appeared. I applaud the game for presumably having more variety than Duck Hunt, but this doesn't really lead to an entertaining product. I think I recall a comment from the Shining In The Darkness submission forums, where someone said the run's main technical achievement (its luck manipulation) was the thing you DON'T see, but that the run became monotonous as a result. I feel that something similar applies here; you've done a lot of lag reduction, but I can't get a visceral sense of the work that you put into the movie. I imagine it's a case where it's more interesting to make the movie than to play the movie.

Honestly, troll submissions aren't THAT common. I hope nobody lost too much time watching the movie, realizing its quality, and then stopping. I don't see the need to make it harder for someone to submit. As long as they have some way of contacting them, that's what matters. If people want to submit poor submissions and get poor feedback on them, that's their choice.

Dooty: You have good points. I haven't actually watched this run or voted on it. I didn't say this was a good run. However, I like to think that we should give new runners the benefit of the doubt, like they didn't understand the site but were eager to try and make movies. If they actually cause problems in the future, there are administrative ways to deal with that. As for why people pay attention, it's not fair that this gets so much attention, but I think I know two reasons why. 1) This is a really popular game, so people are more likely to know what to expect. 2) It's more obvious what the level of the quality is, so it takes less effort to make a comment. I'm not saying these are good reasons, but those seem plausible to me.

We can be nicer than this. MegYesDKNo: I'm glad to see you enjoy Donkey Kong Country 2. However, when you submit a movie to a site that maintains speed records, you need to do a little research to see what the records are. There are currently published movies which are much faster and more precise than your run. Don't be discouraged though; the first run is usually not good enough yet. We have discussion forums for learning more about the game, submitting Works-In-Progress, and improving yourself. There's a lot to learn about making TAS movies!

I'm confused. Is this a hack, or is this the wrong title for "Donkey Kong Country 2"?

I agree with Bamahut and Synahel here. A good polished run of this type is a fun return to "old" routes in SMW. Favorite parts: The LOL from Donut Secret House, and the musical swim strokes in Star World 2 I do think the final battle could have used a little less of the "Gotcha" sound though, but that's a minor critique.

This was fun! It was much more watchable than the first game in the series, even though the visuals are still cluttered. The glitches aren't really obvious to me (as I have not played this game), but the gameplay is solid, and there are some very risky situations that are deftly handled.

The submission accidentally lists the author's name as part of the game name. Also, this has only 61 rerecords? Beat-em-up's tend to be pretty complicated to optimize.

If 100% means "all non-respawning items", then I think this counts. Area 19 only has respawning enemies and bullets.

Interesting idea for a run. I was nostalgic to see this run go through the first couple stages (though a TAS has a lot less trouble navigating that dark area without the flares). I also remember really liking the area with all the water drops early on. Every area was visited except for Area 19, but I don't think there's anything there. Route 8 was pretty surprising. Also, did you manage to skip some of the escape shaft at the end of Route 12? The hard part, though, is deciding whether I think the addition of the extra stages is really worth the entertainment. After all, you don't use any of the extra items. You do get some more health that can be used for damage boosts, but you mostly don't use that either. After Stage 6, it really is mostly like an any% run with one or two side distractions. Anyway, I liked this, and I'm voting Yes. I played this game a lot as a kid though, so I'm biased.

Hey ars4326, I hope it's ok, but I changed the description of the publication from what you suggested. The wording you had originally presumes some degree of familiarity with the game already. Instead, I tried to put in something that would illustrate what makes the game so hard. I can go back to this, though, and try to put back in some of the humor from your suggested description.

Good run! I like this more than the similar "all bosses" run with Maxim in Harmony of Dissonance. Julius has more moves used, more variety in bossfights, and the warping uses careful setups as opposed to just being a trick you can use anywhere. I also like seeing how much more powerful Julius gets with each boss. This gets a Yes vote, but there are two things I'm not sure about: 1) Why do you take that trip near the beginning to the teleporter at the Dance Hall? It seems like it's pretty easy to visit there later when you're about to fight Headhunter. 2) Do you get the Manticore double-kill that the shorter Julius TAS used? I think I saw you collect one orb, but then a second orb lay there uncollected.

You finally finished this! You made really quick progress on the work, and I'm glad to see the wide scope of improvements. There's still a little repetition with this game (mostly making it through the castle on the way to the Main Hall), but the faster movement speed and better enemy dodging help a lot. Out of curiosity, why are there some random missed knife shots? Are they luck manipulation, and/or do they affect your position when turning corners?

This is a whole new class of broken. Is it the JACK glitches that cause a whole wall of sprites on the left side to appear? Because that was hilarious every time it happened, and I recommend that we use one of those instances for the movie screenshot.

Not bad! For a run-right-for-justice platformer, the weapon variety makes it a little more interesting. The boss fights seemed pretty good. The music reminds me of the Carranger game that FractalFusion ran. This falls between Meh and Yes territory for me, since it does get sort of repetitive.

Can you explain the route for the second bit? I thought you were going to go back to the exact same tower, so you'd once again raise money and then buy a scroll. It seems you go into some other cave, find a different tower, but then fight Cold Killer anyway. The enemy dodging is very well done, and I like the look of what I'm seeing, but I don't know the game well enough to know what that route is doing. (I figured the death in the flame is part of the main glitch.)

Wait, does this mean it's the same game as zggzdydp's run but is nearly 50 minutes faster?! I know some of that is due to language changes, but that's still an incredibly large improvement! MATCH6974, can you provide any more details about these new changes? You can give links to other pages with descriptions if you don't want to write a lot of English. EDIT: Thank you for the start of your descriptions! This is much more like I was hoping for. I'm not sure if my computer can run mupen well enough to watch this at a proper speed, but hopefully I'll get to watch this without an encode.

Spectacular improvement with this last one. The energy management was quite cool, being able to save all your damage boosts for the room with the hyper boots. It seems like you also found a better grinding spot in the orange area than Luke had. Keep it up!

I'd be willing to run a background program, I think.

The main unoptimized part I notice is that I think you overjump ladders. When you're near the top, you jump a little too high to get back to flat ground. I don't know, though, if the controls allow you to change that. However, I agree with Dimon12321; the game is pretty nice, and I think this run is good-enough quality for now. The main change I would like to see is a more aggressive Rico fight in 7-2 (maybe where you take more damage to get up close), but it's good enough for me to vote Yes.

Keep in mind that if you don't get the glasses, you have fewer inventory items, so it takes less time to scroll items. It's definitely worth skipping the glasses. Nice work!

Glad to see the change works! Take your time with the experimenting. It wouldn't surprise me if the platforms are triggered by your position over the glasses and not by your actual inventory. Maybe try a cheat where you remove the glasses from your inventory in the approach to the platforms? That would be a way to test this.
