I found myself really liking this run. It's probably mostly because of something Sir VG mentioned: 90% of the skydiving landings would be painful. I also liked how you'd just ignore the rings and go for the moving platform. Rocketbelt stages were generally quite fun, seeing as how they seemed to have the most non-obvious strategies out of all the events. I think this deserves a Yes vote. Nice first run!

Yes of course! Even star for all these improvements. This is now in my top 3 run, of my top 3 game. thanks guys! Mario, finally found a role in his game :)
Yeah, I'm glad to see Mario too. Why is he better in 3-3? Also, when this gets published, we'll need to change the publication text in the Peach-only run, since it mentions Mario being gone in the warpless run.

Hey everyone, there's now a new approved PSX emulator: PSXjin. I don't know how viable it is to convert your movie file to use it, but would PSXjin fix the bug with Liquid's cutscene freezing?

There's not much to say about this improvement. It looks like you're slashing Ciel for the EXP, and that's amusing, given that you're supposed to be saving her. In any case, Yes vote for pushing this run a little closer to perfection.

I wouldn't have guessed that this was a good game for a 100% run, since an any% run still needs to go through all the stages anyway. As a result, the 100% doesn't show off much more of the game. However, this was pretty good. It feels sort of like a longer any% run, though, except you also get to fight Phantom. Out of question, what was the Cyber Elf you used, and what does it do? I'll vote a little later, once I decide whether this run was interesting enough to be published alongside the current run. It won't be a No vote, though.

Wow! That's quite an improvement. The fighting looks very good too. I'm a little annoyed that both the characters were named A, but that doesn't matter very much for a run this short. I would like to request, though, that if you make a warpless run of this game, that you give them different names. I think wasting one frame to name the girl "B" would make things a lot clearer when you actually get to see the full plot of the game. Regardless, very nice job, and Yes vote. One other question, though: why do you get the Sickle? You do most of your fighting with the sword anyway.

The subtitles made a lot of difference with the simulation segments. Even beyond that, though, this was quite entertaining. There was good playaround with monsters, other amusing gimmicks like pushing the boat in Bloodpool, etc. I was also particularly surprised by the Marahna Act-I boss. Very nice job!

WHAT. As someone who's watched most of the SMB2 TASes over the years, and is fairly used to game-altering glitches like multiple jumps through enemy corners, I still need to repeat... WHAT. Amazing creativity. 1-3, 3-1, and 5-3 were especially incredible. Wonderful job starting off a day of incredible submissions. I'm thrilled to see this done, and you get the highest of Yes votes.

Question, in the first Tryclyde battle, an enemy appears - how did that happen?
I think there's always an enemy in that fight. This is just the first time it's been put to real good use :-) I'm particularly impressed as well with the improvement to Fryguy. EDIT: I agree with Sonikkustar's screenshot suggestion involving the 3-1 elevator.

Even though there was a lot of sliding, I liked it. The stages are pretty varied, and the graphics and music are appealing. The boss fights are quite impressive, since you spend a lot of time narrowly dodging attacks. The run is pretty short, too. I'd say this gets a Yes vote.

Nice, I had no idea the leveling process could be that complicated. I guess that's why I'm not TASing. Thanks for the update, and I'm looking forward to the results!

I finally got around to seeing the individual stage encodes. That was pretty fun. I especially liked seeing characters get pushed around while still performing headshots on enemies. Although it's not perfect, I think it's a welcome addition to the site. Yes vote.

It's too bad that you have to shoot a lot of missed shots for luck manipulation; it tends to look sloppy. However, the run is very stylish and quite impressive. Amazing ending for the Tank boss fight, and beautiful end of input! You get a Yes vote. Feel free to take a well-deserved break!

Nice redo of Stage 4! I like how in 4-1, you used the extra dive down a pipe to make the moving platform appear sooner. The jumping also looks quite good; you dodge some carrots I thought you would have to hit. You seem to have a few jumps, though, where you hit the top of the wall before the top of the jump. Does that slow you down much? One example is at the very last warp barrel in 4-3, where you do a jump that hits the barrel to avoid collecting the carrot. I'm actually quite surprised how easy Stage 5 looks compared to Stage 4. I used to hate fighting / dodging the frogs when playing on console. Anyway, some comments: 5-1: You jump over a couple carrots on ground level, where there are white blocks surrounding the carrots. Those jumps seem pretty slow, since you hit the right side of the ceiling each time. Would it be faster to take the top route over those carrots? 5-2: Good! 5-3: When there are two swinging ropes near the start of the round, you take damage from a frog to jump to the ropes quickly. If the ropes have fixed timing anyway, why not kill the frog properly? 5-4: Good!

I managed to watch this yesterday after all. Unfortunately, this wasn't nearly as much fun as I hoped. When you can jump up the rainbows that quickly (I don't remember what makes you bounce on a rainbow instead of breaking it), you end up treating most levels the same without caring about level structure. In addition, the boss fights were amazingly fast too, but then they don't get to show off any of their attacks. At the speed you complete the stages, the cutscenes actually take a lot of time in proportion. All in all, this run is much more monotonous than I'd hoped. I'm sorry, but this any% speedrun removed most of what I found fun about playing the game: the enemy dodging while carefully building platforms. I still found this enjoyable enough to vote Meh. I think a 100% run would be much more interesting with careful bonus management. Random question: What's the theme for Stage 6 supposed to be? I vaguely recall a Super NES game with that look, but I don't know what it's called.

x2poet, you are my new favorite person for running this game. Unfortunately, I can't run my emulators now, so I need an encode to watch this. I look forward to seeing this though! Also, 100% would be awesome. Isn't it just one more stage that you unlock by getting the 7 color diamonds in each stage? It wouldn't be a lot longer than this run, and it would be interesting to see the power-up manipulation.

Could somebody please clarify why this submission is in the "Needs more info" stage? Are improvements happening?

Good luck guys! I'm happy to offer encouragement and watch WIPs, but I believe that's the extent of my TAS talents.

Thanks for the response, Ryuto! I would also agree with Zeupar, though, that a full run would be most interesting without the reset glitch. I have two reasons: 1. The main point of a full run would be to show off the diversity of puzzles in the game. You wouldn't have to get 100% on the stages... in fact, part of the appeal of a full run would be to demonstrate the best route for which puzzles to solve. 2. If a run used the reset glitch, but didn't use it to go straight to the ending, it would be difficult to explain the goals of the movie in a consistent way. It's sort of like the issue with trying to make a Super Mario 64 movie without BLJ... if you disallow BLJ but allow some of the other tricks, what's the point? Anyway, I really look forward to any progress with a full run of Mole Mania! EDIT: Currently there's no thread in the Game Boy forums for this game. If one gets created, you could post a link to it.

Pretty nice! I especially liked how you'd hold enemies in your mouth and use them in other rooms. The midair tongue grabs were also awesome. Three questions though: * Sometimes, when vaulting yourself upward from your tongue, you land very quickly. Other times, there's a delay when the tongue is bending. Why does the delay happen? * In Bomb Land, when you reveal one of the O-tiles to open the door, you take damage when you do so. Is that necessary for the fastest solution? Given how long Davy's damaged pose lasts on the ground, it seems like you could dodge the enemy a little bit, not take damage, and save time. * When fighting the boss of Kids land, you take a lot of damage. Is there a reason for this? Otherwise, it looks fairly sloppy. In any case, these are minor concerns. Yes vote.

This is my favorite puzzle game for the Game Boy which I spent a lot of time playing growing up (well, that and "Nail and Scale", which could be a decent game for TAS abuse). I'm thrilled that a run of this game has made it to the workbench. This run doesn't really do the game justice, though, by only fully playing the level with the easiest puzzles. I'm still quite impressed and amused by the run though. Several comments: * In the first room with the dinosaur-like enemies, would it be faster to kill the last enemy instead of taking damage off him? * Wow, I never knew you could make enemies turn around by diving into solid pavement! * Great job with the boss battles! You had pretty good playaround during the waiting periods too. My favorites were the TAS word underground during Boss 3 and sticking your butt out of Boss 4 when he died. Thank you for the encode, Mister Epic, and thank you for the run, Ryuto! You get my Yes vote. Do you think you'd make a full run of this game?

Really nice! The health management is especially good with this stage. I'm impressed that you went through so many waterfalls and still had enough health. It was really cool to see you kill that orange flying guy in 4-4 at just the right time. Also, it's great to see you finally made an enemy slide from the hammer. That was always fun to do. Question though: why hit the oil drums? Is it so that the darkness reduces lag?

x2poet: That makes sense. Thanks for the explanation. Now I'll vote Yes.

Yeah, this game is pretty much a Rescue Rangers ripoff. I mean, the squirrels are even named Chip and Dale. It's a shame the bosses take so many hits to beat though... it makes the strategies for fighting them fairly uninteresting. However, the platforming in the stages is pretty good. I have one question, though, before I vote: Would it save more time to die more in Stages 5 and 6 instead of in Stages 3 and 4? It seems like you have to wait a lot longer for objects in Stages 5 and 6.

Nice. I'm fine with either submission, but this one feels better to me, as it actually completes the game. The glitched credits are somewhat amusing too. Yes vote.

I found this fairly amusing. The CPU looks pretty good in this game, so the quick victories are more impressive. Also, the finishing moves are pretty cute, as they should be in a Kirby game. I'd say this is good enough for a Yes vote.
